Krauthammer's Silver Hammer
Charles Krauthammer has been among the sharpest observors of the national and international scene over 25 years, and the 25th anniversary of his first published column arrived recently. His silver hammer gets a nice set of linkages here.

Cutting Deficits
Check out this look that deficits can be cut, since they've been cut before. See also the US not only isn't alone, it isn't even the worst off.

Anatomy Of A Terrorist Attack
The Fort Hood killer was a terrorist - as shown by this examination of the various dots connected.

The Fort Hood Terrorist
The Fort Hood terrorist, Nidal Malik Hasan, had been investigated by the FBI years ago but they apparantly dropped the ball on him. Now, with more digging into his past, we're learning things about him that are frightening as well as finding the mistakes made by the FBI in its investigation of him. Those mistakes might be being made again as the FBI is in the early stages of looking into the shooting but looks ready to dismiss Hasan's ties to an Al Qaida terrorist recruiter named Anwar al Awlaki, and if the FBI can't figure out Hasan's motive, maybe they should start here. And as if that isn't enough, the ideology of "diversity" in the Army has been exposed as a disaster yet the Army's Chief of Staff won't acknowledge the failure of "diversity."

Rolling Stone Needs To Shut Up
Rolling Stone has long established that they have no credibility to covering the real world, and with the worthless quality of modern rock music the magazine's reason for existence to begin with is worth questioning. Yet the magazine keeps lying to its readers about the real world and its belligerent ignorance of military matters shows again with its hideous piece on military skepticism of Barack Obama's Afghanistan stupidity that noentheless reveals quite a bit about The Man On The Way Up's greater stupidity based on jealousy of another man's (General David Petraeus) popularity.
Rolling Stone does not have the right to cover issues about which it is dishonest - and war reporting is the magazine at its most dishonest.

Barack: Deciding That I'm Undecided in The Mideast
The Man On The Way Up has spent six months dithering on the Middle East and decided that he's undecided. Tom Donnelley looks at the road to making up Barack's mind that he can't make up his mind.

Meanwhile, Trade Boosts The Economy
While The Man On The Way Up's stimulus keeps failing and his inability to lead against America's enemies becomes more obvious, GDP grew to everyone's surprise, and it came because of trade. File that revelation under the "Duh" column.
The Obama Stimulus Failure
The Man On The Way Up wanted nearly $800 billion for a stimulus package. The results, as anyone with some competent understanding of economics (which Obama does not have) knew, are of a failure.

Pop That Cap
The Man On The Way Up's own data shows cap-and-trade would cost hundreds of millions. Cap-and-tax, as the Wall Street Journal dubbed it, was going nowhere in Congress even with sweet talk from President MOTWU - now it's going the way of Hillarycare.

Archive On Rumsfeld
Posted here is a 2008 piece on Donald Rumsfeld that's worth a look - especially if there emerges any sycophantic puff-piecery on Eric Shinseki, the Army bureacrat who worked to sabotage attempts to reform a badly-in-need-of-reform Army.

Obamacare As Street Theater
The Man On The Way Up's push for collectivized health care has involved staged "town hall" meetings with planted questioners throwing softball questions at President MOTWU and also periodic interruption by protesters. The left is of course reporting such as outrageous acts, except the fraudulence of the whole affair is shown by video showing "Obama As Hitler" posters are being produced by Democrats.

Obamaniacs At Work
The acolytes of The Man On The Way Up go to work on opponants of Obamacare - and the result looks like how totalitarian-minded leaders deal with indiginous enemies.

Remembering When Ted Kennedy Killed A Woman
In July 1969 Senator Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne. She had worked with his brother Bobby on his ill-advised and ultimately fatal Presidential campaign. In July 1969 she attended a reunion of Kennedy campaign workers at Teddy's house on Chappaquiddick Island. They left around midnight and the always-irresponsible Teddy plunged their Oldsmobile into the nearby water; he freed himself and refused to try and rescue Kopechne - instead he fled to cover up his role in killing her, which included bullying the local police and getting the local judge to give him a suspended sentence. He fought to avoid responsibility - and it showcases the character of leftism.

The Palestinian Fraud - A Questionaire
"If the Palestinians get their state back..." It's the cliche of the century-plus, the myth that drives supporters of Islamo-Arab terrorism, and it drives even Mideast wars unrelated to Israel and the PLO - Saddam Hussein for one regularly tried to inject it into his aggressions. So if Palestine was really a legitimate state, one should be able to answer this questionaire about Palestine that exposes the fraud the whole Palestinian myth truly is.

The Alleged Up-The-Ass 103
We of course don't know if this list is the actual one, but for whatever it is worth, here is the alleged list of 103 MLB players who tested positive for shooting up the ass with steroids back in 2003. This was the test the Players union hoped would produce a lot of false positives - of course it didn't.

Holding Your Horses About Iran
The street revolution in Iran is a strike at ther Ayatollahs and to be welcomed as such. But one needs some sobering truths as well, for the brouhaha over Iranian elections has masked the fact that the opposition leader in Iran, Mousavi, was Ayatollah Khomeini's right hand thug and prime minister in the Iran-Iraq war decade of the 1980s, was a mastermind of the 444-day seizure of US diplomats, and is a leader of Iran's Islamo-Arab imperialism crusade that includes building nuclear weapons.
The world needs a real Iranian counterrevolution. The present wave of protests is encouraging but not necessarily positive. Chosing between Hitler and Stalin, which is what the Iranian election involved, solves nothing.

Real Democracy In Iran
First, a repost from June 16:
Presented is an account from an unnamed contact of Radio Farda. I suspect those familiar with democracy movements in totalitarian empires will recognize situations such as this while Ayatollah suck-ups like Roger Cohen find themselves embarassed yet again.
FOLLOW-UP: The Man On The Way Up has continued to show himself an international coward as he shows he's a follower, not a leader.

No Keen Grasp Of The Obvious Here
George Orwell once noted that "only an expert would be stupid enough to believe that." Barack Obama obviously fanices himself an expert on many things, and being such he is stupid enough to believe that. Fred Barnes details where The Man On The Way Up is in denial of the obvious.

Cap And Trade Gets Popped
Cap-and-trade is the latest ecofascist rage in government, and as such, it does nothing for the environment but punish energy production by trying to force consumers to shift spending to "more environmental-sensitive products. As such, the Man On The Way Up Administration has been pushing it, but it's going the way of Hillarycare.

Nitwit Nancy And The CYA
Nitwit Nancy Pelosi made a lot of stupid remarks about the CYA - err, CIA. Republicans then had the temerity to demand an investigation of the accuracy of Pelosi's remarks. The Democrats, of course, don't want such a thing even as the CYA's director Leon "Pinhead" Panetta smears Richard Cheney and gets his comeuppance from Cheney.

Remember Osama?
Here's a name that, chances are, you haven't heard in awhile, yet when Bush-bashing occurs the tripe about "Bush didn't get Osama Bin Laden" often gets dredged up again, even though Osama has been dead for some years now.
Biofuelishness
A tardy look at the absurdity of forcing the manufacture of prolific amounts of renewable fuel. Not only is it expensive, its environmental benefit is a myth.
The Man On The Way Up's Muslim Speech
It received substantial hype before it was made, so Obama's speech to the Islamo-Arab world got a lot of coverage. Unfortunately it was as bad as one could expect - it basically flattered the Islamo-Arab world despite some rhetoric deploring Palestinian savagery and general antisemitism. When drawing an analogy between the Holocaust and Palestinian refugee camps, he insulted real history because Palestinian camps are self-made places used by Arab states as title-deeds justifying conquest and slaughter - two items, incidentally, Obama ignored in the speech.
In all it just re-proved Obama's insipidity of thought as he signals de facto surrender to Islamo-Arab imperialism.

A Wise Latina's Vision Of The Anointed
Sonia Sotomayor caused a stir with a 2001 speech talking about herself as a "wise Latina." Supporters have been trying to pooh-pooh this obvious declaration of moral and intellectual superiority on her part, but it doesn't work, as the speech is yet another declaration of what Thomas Sowell has noted is the vision of the anointed.
Sudoku Satellite Warfare On Guantanomo
Guantanomo is a moral outrage, a crime against humanity, an act of genocide -

Cheney Gets Levin's Dandruff Up
Richard Cheney knows how to land the touchdown into the receiver's hands. By noting that "abusive interrogation" works, Cheney brought out blowhard Senator Carl Levin, who claims Cheny is lying about two CIA documents showing those techniques saved lives. Yet Obama won't declassify these documents even though both Cheney and Levin have called for it.

The latest such hit piece is by GQ about Donald Rumsfeld. It's worth examining areas where the piece gets the facts wrong.

Obama On The Run From Cheney
The Man On The Way Up has been getting destroyed in the debate over fighting Islamo-Arab imperialism lately, with Richard Cheney's barbs hitting their mark and showing the difference between a genuine patriot and a corrupt grandstanding senator.
It is part of the pattern of Obama scoring propaganda points while losing substantive policy battles.

Anatomy Of A Smear Of Cheney
The MSM's war against Richard Cheney is still going on, and the latest salvo is by Lawrence Wilkerson, claiming Cheney used torture of terrorists to help fabricate links between Iraq and Al Qaida. Wilkerson is totally wrong - Iraq and Al Qaida were not only allies in aggression, Iraq basically took over Al Qaida, and Wilkerson's flimsy story fell apart on a friendly forum for him - MSNBC.

Obama Gets Gored By Cheney
Richard Cheney is considered incurably evil by the Dominant Media Culture, of which The Man On The Way Up is a member. The intellectual ineptitude of the DMC and MOTWU is shown by The Man On The Way Up's reaction to Cheney's criticisms of their document dump on interrogation techniques against international savages - excuse me, Islamo-Arab terrorists.
In Iraq, When The Cat's Away........
The Man On The Way Up's basic philosophy about Iraq is that the US is somehow the cause of instability there, never mind that the place was stabilized years ago by our presence. So as The Man On The Way Up cuts and runs us from Iraq, the mice are beginning to play again.

When Going Gets Tough, Obama Flees
That's the only way to describe how The Man On The Way Up deals with serious issues. Instead of actually leading, he hits the campaign trail. All the while his inability to lead becomes more and more obvious.
It's a process also being seen as the Democrats suddenly realize that their insistence that Afghanistan is "the war we must win" instead of the far stronger Saddam Hussein war requires actual commitment, so now the Democrats are backtracking.

Some Rationality On The Economy
Amid all the pessimism permeating coverage of the economy, some more optimistic epistles are to be found, such as the fact that housing foreclosures are not nationwide, that the fact that banking is still far stronger than in the early 1990s (see also here), and we're still earning more money.

Obama And The Old First Iraq War Trick
Apparantly Maxwell Smart has influence on The Man On The Way Up's administration. Bruce Reidel, a former CIA officer and now a Brookings Institution scholar, has been appointed to oversee a review of US policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and his grand strategy is to secure peace between Israel and the fiction known as Palestinians. It's a ridiculous idea (being ridiculous is in keeping with the stupidity of the CIA) and brings to mind Saddam Hussein's attempt to legitimize his 1990 invasion of Kuwait by trying to tie it into Israel. It's the old it's-Israel's-fault-so-make-them-get-peace-with-Palestinians trick. Yep, Maxwell Smart would have seen this one coming.

Obama The Antisemite
If you didn't think The Man On The Way Up is an antisemite, think again as he sponsors a UN conference that will condemn Israel as a racist state. It's 1975 all over again - blaming the victim of Islamo-Arab imperialism instead of Islamo-Arab imperialism.

More Evidence Of Iraq As Enemy Quagmire
Remember Imad Mugniyah? Likely you don't. He was military commander of Hezbollah who launched the 1983 attacks that killed over 300 US and French soldiers in Beirut and numerous other such strikes. He was iced in 2008, and a contibuting factor to getting him was the capture of one of his senior officers in 2007 in Iraq.
Obama Stimulus Parties
The Man On The Way Up urged people to host "stimulus package house parties." The result is shown here in the uniform realization among Obamaniacs that The Man On The Way Up lied to them.

Putting Bureaucrats First
First a repost from February 2:
The Man On The Way Up promised bipartisanship. He lied, and one area is his direction of "third party" attacks on Republicans opposing his sham stimulus; the funniest angle of attack is that "Republicans want to spend money on schools in Iraq but not in the US," and a PAC reminsiscent of America First is pushing this line. That US schools outspend the Defense Department, of course, never gets considered.
UPDATE: So what does The Man On The Way Up do? He lied about bipartisanship, now he lies about "catastrophe" if his phony stimulus bill fails. It's a bill that puts bureaucrats first and foremost, which is what Democratic economics ultimately has always been about.

Committee Of Idiotic Analysis Claims Credit
Check this Bill Roggio piece on the CIA gloating over air attacks it has directed against Al Qaida in Pakistan. Given the CIA's history of stupidity between analysis discredited by its own left-leaning doctrines and its ineptitude in executing orders - not for nothing has it been mocked as The Committee for Idiotic Amusement over the decades - one needs a lot of salt when reading the Agency patting itself on the back like this.
Gracelessness And Generals
We got a look at how pompous and self-important the Obamas are with this Michelle Obama micro-trainwreck speech supporting the public school hackerama, which illustrated the heavy-handed way The Man On The Way Up and The Woman On The Way Up conduct themselves. And the gracelessness doesn't end there, as the leftwing media is still trying to stir up bogus trouble with this bogus "revolt of the generals" story. Would that people who know better would indeed be forcing The Man On The Way Up to grow up, especially with MOTWU's economic stupidity causing a gagging effect on Wall Street and in international trade.
The "Recruiting More Terrorists" Myth Continues
It's the salient myth of those against defeating Islamo-Arab imperialism - "we create more terrorists than we kill" and its variant, that when America (or Israel) defend itself, "we've given the terrorists a perfect recruiting tool." Yet nowhere in history is there one example of anything like this happening - nowhere is there any example of the enemy gaining recruits or strength because the US fights back; on the contrary, the pattern has always been that the enemy only gains strength when it sees we won't fight back.
Yet The Man On The Way Up buys this nonsense. The piece asks what planet Obama is from - it certainly wasn't from the planet this sci-fi icon came from - he would have told off Obama and taken charge of the situation.

The Palestinians: A Failure Of A People
The Palestinians are a failure as a people. That much should be obvious from their continued inability to make peace, their belligerence and obsession with waging war, and their economic indolence.

Iran Starts Schooling Obama
The Man On The Way Up wanted to "reach out" to the Iranian empire. The Iranians thus began schooling him while they rebuild their war machine.
It is part and parcel of Obama's stupidity on the Middle East, shown in his ignorant verbiage about America's non-existent "partnership" with Middle Eastern war-states launching terrorist attacks when they weren't launching missiles or fighter planes - or invasions of Kuwait.

President MOTWU Starts Breaking His Rules
This post keeps getting bigger. We start with a repost from January 22:
** It took all of one day for The Man On The Way Up to start breaking his own rules. It's the first encounter with the real world in President MOTWU's administration and it won't be the last.
** UPDATE #1: The Man On The Way Up got snippy when a reporter actually asked him about him breaking his own rules.
** UPDATE JANUARY 26:Democrats then began balking at The Man On The Way Up so blatantly breaking his own rules with regard to former Raytheon lobbyist Bill Lynn.
** UPDATE JANUARY 27:Related to the snippiness with the reporter is Barack's "promises" of transparancy, but - you guessed it
- they're a sham.

What "Politicizing Intelligence" Looks Like
Remember all those claims that Bush was "politicizing intelligence?" Obviously a lot of people don't know what the term means, as evidenced here with regard to waterboarding.
UPDATE: It isn't limited to intelligence - now The Man On The Way Up does the same to the Justice Dept. by appointing thug Senator Chuck Schumer's former hatchet man.

Obama Summons Forth
Obama summons forth!
No, some of Obama's White House staff had been subpoened in investigation of Rod Blagojevich corruption.
Figures.

Terrorists On The Way Up - To Home
The Man On The Way Up is sending 94 terrorists from Guantanamo back to Yemen, which is a terrorist safe haven. This is what passes for "change" from The Man On The Way Up - giving in to the enemy.

Barney Frank At It Again
Yep, Barney Frank is at it again - helping subsidize a corrupt bank. No wonder he's The Teflon Congressman.
Filmmaker Prosecuted For Speaking Truth To Islamic Power
Geert Wilders is a Danish filmmaker who made the recent short subject FITNA. It is a 15-minute short using quotes from the Koran married to appropriate images of Islamo-Arab violence, to illustrate the genocidal bloodthirstiness inherent in the reign of Islam that is behind the waves of terrorist attacks that have killed so many over the last quarter century-plus. The government of Holland has indicted Wilders for "inciting hate" with his film. It is a reflection of the cowardice so widespread when it comes to dealing with Islamo-Arab imperialism.
MOTWU Reality Check #2
The Man On The Way Up got another reality check, this one on his useless "stimulus" package.

Why Obama Will Fail
The Man On The Way Up is now President - and he will fail. Because the gasiness of his rhetoric can't change that his philosophies are contradictory, poorly conceived, and are not based on any kind of realworld executive experience. This fundamental weakness showed in the flatness, triteness, and doubletalk of his inaugural speech.
Haste Makes (Nuclear) Waste
Nuclear processing is considered "too expensive to be practical" and "not safe" as an energy technology. That claim, though, is wrong.

Allies In Aggression
Remember the lie that "Iraq would never work with Al Qaeda" because of their supposed "differences?" It's being repeated with regard to Iranian support of Al Qaeda. And now the US Treasury gives the "no alliance" lie its comeuppance.

Obama Be A Law
First is this repost from August 12, 2008:
How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Yeah, yeah, you've heard that one before. It's worth asking as one checks Barack Obama's poor record in law studies and how that record reflects his staggering ignorance of real people and the world in general.
UPDATE: Man On The Way Up's ignorance of the law continues unabated.

Antisemites On The Net
The corruption of the "documentary" filmmaking genre has been a prolonged process that predated Michael Moore but which was escalated by him and his followers. One of them is Max Blumenthal, and his latest act of drive-by video shooting is a pathetic attempt to mock supporters of Israel's attack on Hamas killers in Gaza. The sheer dishonesty of Blumenthal's drive-by video shooting gets examined here and further proves the worthlessness of the "documentary" genre.
Nothing From Nothing Leaves Nothing

Hate Criminals At Work In San Francisco
The unseemly pictures are here. Particularly disturbing are the very young girls dressed in the garb of Arab terrorists and the fact the SFPD didn't bother the antisemites, but instead stopped a protester against Hamas.

President MOTWU's Tax "Cuts"
The Man On The Way Up's economic illiteracy shines again with Obama tax cuts that aren't.
George Soros And The Oil-For-Food Scam
A look at George Soros' financial relationship with a UN official who covered for Kofi Annan over UN involvement in Iraq's Oil For Food scam and how Norm Coleman found this out, hence Soros' financing of the effort to steal the Minnesota election from Coleman.

Hamas: Kill Charley Barrack
Israel responded to a prolonged period of rocket attacks from Gaza by the terrorist army Hamas by invading what had once been its own territory but which it gave back as a peace gesture - which one we've forgotten, since Israel has done nothing but make peace gestures all these decades it's difficult to keep track of the number of such. Israel's action has garnered a surprising consensus in its favor here in the US, but loud voices against it are still there, and some of them have come out into the open in response to an air attack that blew up Hamas thug Nizar Rayan, his four wives (how come those gays protesting Mormon votes against gay "marriage" by claiming Mormon approval of polygomy never notice things like this?), nine of his children, and a weapons depot (how convenient that terrorists from Vietnam to Lebanon and all points between house civilians onto military targets). The weapons depot part of course gets short-shrifted.
We'll lobby to change the name of Palestinian/Arab terrorists from whatever name they use to Charley Barrack.
