From Democracy to Sharia
|
|
|
A few weeks ago, amid the “Arab Spring” giddiness, a Shiite mosque opened in Cairo. This was big news. Among Egypt’s 80 million people, there are only a few thousand Shiites. It’s a 90 percent Sunni country, with even Christians vastly outnumbering the Shia. So, in their euphoria over the mosque’s inauguration, Shiite

ABC News: Trayvon Martin Had Drugs in His System -- Autopsy
|
|
|
The report is here.
The report neglects to mention that in the 911 tape, George Zimmerman reported to the police dispatcher that Martin seemed suspicious to him because it seemed Martin was "on drugs or something."
Like the injuries to Zimmerman, the prosecutor's affidavit does not mention that Zimmerman's suspicion about Ma

Droning on ... in Turkey
|
|
|
U.S. feeds drone intel to Islamic supremacist government of Turkey, which uses it to accidentally kill 34 civilians. Solution: Let's just sell them the drones -- that way, they can not only handle the air strikes but do the intel gathering themselves and (bonus!) share it with their friends the Iranians. Not kidding.

Re: Krauthammer Goes Hard Left

|

I happened to watch Dr. K's outburst last night regarding the use of drones for domestic law-enforcement surveillance purposes. My great admiration for him notwithstanding, this was not his finest hour.
It's not my primary purpose to make an argument in favor of drone use. But his argument against it -- to wit, that a drone is a "weapo

Western Sharia

Ismail Belghar, a 36-year-old Muslim man living in Australia, assaulted, abducted, and nearly killed his sister-in-law. The victim, a 25-year-old Moroccan named Canan Kokden, had dared to take her older sister, Mrs. B, to the beach without Belghar’s permission. This heinous effrontery was amplified, Belghar later recounted for police, when Mr

The Military Is Fighting For ... Obama?

It is not the late breaking news that the current occupant of the Oval Office is the most self-adulatory president -- perhaps, person -- in our history. But, since the whole country was aware that his "evolution" on gay marriage was a con-job, I can't help but see the bracing part of his statement today as the assertion that the Unite

Putin pushing his own Reset Button ... but he has some flexibility now that he's been "re-elected" so he's sending Junior in his place.
