Obama is promising a budget freeze on non-discretionary, non-defense funding.  This amounts to a “freeze” on $450 billion out of $3.6 trillion budget. That’s about 12.5%.  So Obama is promising to “freeze” spending on 12.5% of the federal budget.  (An idea he harshly criticized during the campaign.) To put that in perspective, most Americans spend... »

When the would-be Knicker Bomber, a man on a U.S. watch-list and on the UK no-fly list; a man whose father had warned the U.S. embassy in Nigeria of his ties to al Qaeda; a man who the CIA had been tracking for months but was still issued a U.S. visa; boarded a U.S.-bound... »

The Daily Danet has obtained the Obama administration’s Top Secret policy to deal with Iran’s continuing belligerence and apparent unending quest for a nuclear weapon. The strategy, which is set out in escalating stages in response to Iran’s continued defiance, is already at Obama Condition, or ObamaCon, 6 of 10: Remind the world that... »

The FBI has obtained excerpts from the email inbox of “suspected” Christmas bomber, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab.  Mutallab’s email address, pantsonfire@hotmale.ng, was obtained through an international investigation conducted by the FBI, Nigerian police and Dutch authorities. To: pantsonfire@hotmale.ng From: earl.whitley@ga-bulldogs.com Subject: An interesting busniess propasitun for yuo! You ain’t gonna git me again, you basterds.  Take me off... »

Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab boarded his flight from Nigeria to Amsterdam, and then on to Detroit, Michigan, with neither a passport, luggage, nor a return ticket–he had only two things an easily detectable bomb and a devious plan to embarrass the Obama administration on a secular Friday in late December.  But Secretary of Homeland... »

Apologies for the laconic past few weeks.  I’ve been getting killed at my day job, and have been dealing with some personal issues as well.  But on the issue of Global Warming and the Climategate emails, I cannot remain silent any longer–mostly out of sheer glee. In case you have missed it a hacker–who shall... »

Steny Hoyer (and I am sure others will follow) has claimed that the ‘General Welfare’ allows Congress to force Americans to buy healthcare insurance. He is clearly wrong, as one of my favorite law professors, Professor Shea used to say, Congress cannot legislate for the General Welfare.  Here is why Hoyer is wrong. The United... »

I have not written about my pet peeve, Global Warming™ in quite a while.  This is mostly because I do not feel the need to continue to waste my breath either preaching to the choir or shouting over the protestations of the obstinately ignorant.  Nonetheless, my unique background in atmospheric science, law and policy... »

When running for the office he so obviously coveted and now holds, the untested community organizer promised that when it came to troop decisions in Iraq and Afghanistan, he would take the counsel of his Generals.  Knowing that General McChrystal had built a career on a search and destroy strategy, which requires less troops,... »

Obama has promised to deliver healthcare to 45 million Americans, including 15 million illegal aliens, over 30 million Americans, and not “add one single dime to the federal deficit.” This promise hinges on Obama eliminating “fraud, waste and abuse” in Medicare, cutting Medicare advantage, and to a large extent, promising today that some... »

Today, in what one Pakistani political leader called an “embarrassing joke,” an American President who has accomplished absolutely nothing in office was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He joins such other luminaries and peace makers as Al Gore, who not only invented the internet, but roams the Earth spreading lies about its impending doom... »

I’m swamped at work and have about 5 projects that desperately need my attention, so it’s time to forget all of that for a minute and talk football. First, let me say how pleasantly unsurprised I am with my New York Giants. I have always believed in Eli Manning as a quarterback,... »

Unhappy with merely ruining the financial markets and the healthcare system, Obama is now setting out to destroy what remains of the American educational system. President Obama, a self-described Constitutional professor, somehow believes it within the president’s power to manage the length of the school year and each individual school day. I can... »

Sunday’s arrest in Sweden of French filmmaker and liberal sweetheart, Roman Polanski on a 31 year-old arrest warrant has made it necessary to remind liberals and Europeans (but I repeat myself) that no amount of Academy Awards make up for drugging and raping a 13 year old.  In 1977, Polanski, a French citizen, admitted... »
