Texasdarlin has two very interesting posts on Obama’s activities while on the campaign trail and in Iraq. It seems (and Obama’s own assertions appear to confim) that he illegally intervened in U.S. foreign policy discussions with Iraq by trying to influence the dates of a U.S. troop draw down. From the NY Post article on [...]

Thank heavens for Congressional representatives like Jon Kyl. On Thursday, Kyl’s remarks in the Senate set the record straight on where voters should be placing blame for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failures and for the government’s plan to put the taxpayer on the hook for the mismanagement and laissez-faire attitude toward oversight and regulation [...]

It’s interesting to see the media frenzy that is developing over the McCain campaign’s truth-distortions — or to quote Joy Behar, “lies.” Given the fact that the MSMs preferred candidate is (once again) limping toward the finish line of a campaign that conventional wisdom has him easily winning, it is clear that the media feels [...]

In a recent campaign appearance Senator and Democratic VP candidate, Joe Biden, made an unfortunate blunder when he told a wheelchair-bound Sen. Chuck Graham (D-Columbia) to “stand up. I’m not attacking Biden for that gaffe, anyone of us could have made a similar mistake. It was clear that, when he noticed his error, Biden immediately chided [...]

To anyone who might have happened by here in the past several weeks looking for new posts. I have been beyond busy with work and traveling so I have not had time to focus on anything else. Stick with me if you can, I’m not done Musing yet.

Hugh Hewitt quoted an amusing attack on Democratic supporters who are — quite rightly — concerned about Obama’s inability to pull ahead of McCain in the polls and the electoral college projections. Hewitt linked to a Politico article that describes how Obama is in a dead heat despite the financial situation, the war on Terror, [...]

Interesting to see how many people watched the four big campaign convention speeches. Obama - 38.4 million McCain - 38.9 million Palin - 37.2 million Biden - 24 million (Hillary Clinton’s speech was estimated to have 25.97 million viewers.) Interesting to see how Palin’s speech was received compared to both Biden and Hillary Clinton, Palin won far more viewers than Sen. Hillary [...]

Sorry folks, I have been absolutely slammed with work and other responsibilities, so I have been forced away from Musing for quite awhile. As much as I might have wanted to, I haven’t had time to comment on the election. However, the latest from Harry Reid was too good to pass up. Apparently Harry Reid’s office [...]

This Daniel Pipes article on the Muslim world’s take on Obama is an eye opener. How do Muslims see Barack Hussein Obama? They have three choices: either as he presents himself – someone who has “never been a Muslim” and has “always been a Christian”; or as a fellow Muslim; or as an apostate from Islam. Reports [...]

Andrew Walden has an in depth article on the financial and business links between recently-convicted Obama fundraiser and slum lord, Tony Rezko and Iraqi-British billionaire Nadhmi Auchi. He supplies one key reason why the few remaining unbiased reporters out there are refusing to investigate. Why aren’t the American media investigating the role of British billionaire businessman [...]

Excellent ad by the American Issues Project on Obama’s close political alliances with a self-admitted and unrepentant domestic terrorist. The Obama campaign has responded with a lame attempt to distance themselves from Ayers. They’re actually trying to sell the line that Obama was only 9 years old when Ayers was “declaring war” on the U.S. For example, [...]

This is a fair question. Obama claims he is sooo concerned about fixing all the problems that exist in this country; he wants to tax the so-called rich — who already pay over eighty percent of the country’s taxes — to cover the bills for his outlandish spending proposals. He wants to redistribute your hard-earned money [...]

I was talking with a friend yesterday who is absolutely convinced that Hillary will be the Democratic nominee for president. Despite the fact that Hillary lost in the delegate count, he refuses to believe that she’s gone. He said he expects her and her supporters to begin cutting his feet out from under Obama by [...]

Classic bit of insight into the notion that the “science” of climate change is settled. It’s absolutely 100% rock-solid SETTLED … in stone … cemented … locked up … pwned … comprehended … understood … nothing more to discuss … only the absolute outermost fringe thinks there’s anything left to be learned … until you suggest [...]

Thought that you folks might like to see a few of the pictures that I took on a recent trip to Alpine, AZ. I’ll post more as I get time.

I wasn’t a bit surprised to see that Obama selected Biden as his running mate. In this ticket, you have two of the most arrogant, elitist, socialist Prima Donnas in the country vying for the power to control all of our lives. To steal a line from Forrest Gump, they’re like two peas in a [...]

This Newsmax.com editorial describes a Media Research Center study that shows how the major networks handed Obama the Democratic nomination with their unfailing support and glowing reviews. While the MSM had grown weary of the Clinton machine and willingly advanced negative opinion and damaging stories about Hillary, they coddled Obama and fawned over his every [...]

When the headline said that China was “flaying animals alive” I thought, this has to be just a headline to get me into the article. It wasn’t. I admit that these reports are coming from PeTA. I will also admit that the videos may be limited to a small sector of the Chinese fur industry. However, [...]

This Forbes article reinforces the idea that when compared to Olympic games held in free countries, the Chinese Olympics are only beautiful and well organized … on the surface. However, when one scratches that surface the brutal oppression and immediate suppression of any and all human expression belies the open nature of the games. This nationalistic [...]

It’s good to see that some in the Canadian health care establishment are willing to recognize just how horrible socialist health care provision in Canada has become. The natural next step for Canada’s health system is allowing more private delivery, which will give patients more choice, and better access to care, the new president of [...]
