The Myth of Man-Made Global Warming

The people who bring you the news of the day about nonexistent wiretaps and hypothetical invasions of privacy disguised as actual events are the same ones reporting on the “scientific evidence” that man is slowly turning Earth into the planet Venus. Unfortunately for the NRDC, Al Gore, and other radical environmentalists, since man didn’t cause global warming, man can’t cure it...MORE...

The Thirties All Over Again?

By Michael Ledeen

Certainly there is lots of bad news, most of which confirms what we already knew: The Western world hates Israel; the taboo on anti-Semitism is off; the Western world has been P.C.’ed to the edge of death; there is no stomach for fighting the war against Islamic fascism.Sounds like the Thirties to me...MORE...

Milking it?

Until recent years, images of civilian casualties in wars often took days to appear in newspapers, but now they can be captured and transmitted around the world to newspaper Web sites, where they are posted immediately, adding to the shock value that sketchy words by reporters often cannot capture.

Did Hizbollah Blow Up the Building?

July 31, 2006 Vox Populi, Will Malven
The Israelis have never been reticent in admitting when they have hit an errant target, or when they have hit the correct target and collaterally killed civilians. They have been rigorous in this honesty for as long as I can remember. So when the Israeli military says that there was an 8-hour gap between when the building in Qana was hit and it collapsed, one must begin to wonder about causes...MORE...

Discriminating against the ‘brown coin’

By Julia Gorin

In the renewed debate over whether to rid our currency of the penny, it's awfully conspicuous that the coin being targeted for elimination is the one coin that's a different color from the rest.

Today's Must Read Ahmadinejad's World

The deployment of the Basiji in the mine fields shows what one can expect from the Mullah-Regime · By Matthias Küntzel
In pondering the behavior of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I cannot help but think of the 500,000 plastic keys that Iran imported from Taiwan during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88. At the time, an Iranian law laid down that children as young as 12 could be used to clear mine fields, even against the objections of their parents. Before every mission, a small plastic key would be hung around each of the children’s necks. It was supposed to open for them the gates to paradise...MORE...

Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah

By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
DAMASCUS, Syria, July 27 — At the onset of the Lebanese crisis, Arab governments, starting with Saudi Arabia, slammed Hezbollah for recklessly provoking a war, providing what the United States and Israel took as a wink and a nod to continue the fight.
Now, with hundreds of Lebanese dead and Hezbollah holding out against the vaunted Israeli military for more than two weeks, the tide of public opinion across the Arab world is surging behind the organization, transforming the Shiite group’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, into a folk hero and forcing a change in official statements...MORE...

Tehran interpreted that as a sign of weakness."...MORE...

By Christina Bellantoni THE WASHINGTON TIMES July 27, 2006

The Senate cleared a legislative hurdle yesterday to begin consideration and debate of a measure that would open the Gulf Coast to oil and natural-gas exploration. Drilling off the coast -- and leaving in place protections for Florida's coastline -- has wide support in the Senate. The measure becoming law is more of a long shot because of the House's position on the matter.

Minutemen Founder: 30 Million Illegals in U.S.

President George Bush once referred to Minutemen volunteers as "vigilantes"....MORE...The assertions in "Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders" include:
The real number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is not 12 million, as the federal government claims, but closer to 30 million.
The IRS – known for hounding citizens who make mistakes on their returns – has paid out $10 billion in refunds and credits to illegal aliens who used fraudulent Social Security numbers, and it has no intention of going after those who've made fraudulent claims.
Over 3,000 illegal aliens suspected of murdering Americans have fled to Mexico, where they often live openly and without fear of arrest.

How the Schools Shortchange Boys A MUST READ

Gerry Garibaldi
In the newly feminized classroom, boys tune out.
Since I started teaching several years ago, after 25 years in the movie business, I’ve come to learn firsthand that everything I’d heard about the feminization of our schools is real—and far more pernicious to boys than I had imagined. Christina Hoff Sommers was absolutely accurate in describing, in her 2000 bestseller, The War Against Boys, how feminist complaints that girls were “losing their voice” in a male-oriented classroom have prompted the educational establishment to turn the schools upside down to make them more girl-friendly, to the detriment of males...MORE...
