When word first broke that the remarkable Hudson River emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 was caused by a flock of Canadian geese, two thoughts immediately occurred. One – Somehow PETA would focus more on the agony of the geese that were sucked into both of the plane’s jet engines than the... »

Furthering both the history and fortuity embodied in his victory, the committee tasked with approving Obama’s choice for Secretary of State may well be chaired by his own Vice President to be. Here’s the not unlikely scenario: In addition to his prominent appearance on the national ballot, Biden quietly ran for and won re-election as Delaware... »

During a Thursday stump speech in Sarasota, FL, Obama suggested that people wanting to keep their hard-earned money rather than hand it over to the taxman are “selfish.” After explaining how changing “our tax code” to take even more from the rich to give to the poor would “make sure that everybody’s got a shot,”... »

Barack Obama once expressed a fear that his opponent would first attack his lack of experience and then “mention he’s black.” Of course, that was before he fully appreciated the inpenetratable political suit of armor his black skin represents. There was a clever axiom floating around a few months ago that this... »

Today, the Left mocks the notion that the actions of George W Bush have protected our nation from subsequent terrorist attacks these seven years while extolling the notion that the actions of mankind have imperiled our climate. But within a century’s time, history will very likely reverse these views — lauding the former... »

Anyone doubting the dangers of placing a hopelessly ill-prepared and sophomorically idealistic man at the helm of our national defense in these most dangerous of times needs look no further for a startling education. In this MUST SEE video, the man who would be commander-in-chief promises that, as president, he will not only end... »

Al-Qaeda puppet Adam Yahiye Gadahn, the first American to be indicted for treason since 1952, is missing. NBC news sources believe the jihadist senior operative with a million dollar bounty on his head may have been killed alongside al-Qaeda commander Abu Laith al-Libi in our January 31st Predator attack on Mir Ali in... »

Last December, Dr. David Whitehouse wrote a number of articles about the tardiness of Sun cycle 24 and its potential impact on Earth’s Climate. He noted that the apex of solar activity at the end of last century corresponded with the periods’ unusually high temperatures and that temps have been flat since activity... »

On the very day Al Gore arrived in Bali with a petition avowing “support for a visionary global treaty to end the climate crisis,” another petition (of sorts) was released attesting that any such efforts would prove “ultimately futile.” But in stark contrast to the Green Giant’s appeal, which contained the “signatures” of nearly a... »

Contrary to all the media gushing, Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize is no more an affirmation of his greenhouse gas beliefs than Yasser Arafat’s 1994 award was a disavowal of Israel’s right to exist. Nor is it any more worthy. According to the 1895 will of the Prize’s founder, Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel, the... »

A British truck driver who sought to stop the documentary An Inconvenient Truth from “brainwashing” his children appears to have won a partial victory. Although the film will, indeed, be shown in 3,500 schools, teachers will be required to warn students that they’re only hearing one side’s questionable opinions on global warming. Stewart Dimmock... »

O.J Simpson was questioned by Las Vegas police in connection with an alleged theft at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino last night.

John Nichols, who accused General David Petraeus of betraying the truth and the troops on Friday, today expanded his feral accusations and even added the Bush administration to his fantasy Benedict Arnold list. Blogging for The Nation on today’s House Iraq hearings, Nichols refers to them as “efforts by the White House to cloak administration... »

Weeks of franticly subverting the long-awaited Petraeus Iraq progress report have seen Democratic leaders demoting a four star General to Bush marionette and left-wing hacks attacking his very credibility, and, collaterally, that of the American military itself. But this weekend witnessed an even more appalling shift from recent liberal regard to steer clear... »

The recent disclosure of a critical temperature data revision by NASA climate experts under cover-of-darkness poses as many questions as it answers. With worried alarmists scurrying to either dismiss the restatement’s relevance or ignore it altogether, and NASA itself descending to CYOA tactics, the paramount issue remains that of credibility – both the... »

Once again, computer-driven climate simulations have fallen short when measured against real-world scientific observations. That’s right — the very same climate models that warming “experts” the likes of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and NASA’s GISS base their catastrophic projections on have proven utterly unreliable once more. In a piece entitled Trouble... »

In stark contrast to its position on last year’s Duke non-rape case, the NAACP has urged the public not to judge Michael Vick before he has his day in court. In a news conference early Monday morning, Atlanta NAACP President R.L. White charged that the Atlanta Falcons star quarterback’s suspension and sponsor desertion amounted to... »

In what must be celebrated as a major victory for both sanity and safety, the Improving America’s Security Act of 2007 will, indeed, include liability protections for citizens reporting suspicious activity they fear may be linked to terrorism. As you’ll likely recall, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) responded to last November’s Flying Imams... »

On the very day before the British documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle was to hit Aussie TV screens, the Royal Society published the work of 2 scientists who claim to have disproved its core position – that the actions of the sun, not humans, cause global warming. And, unlike the countless studies... »

You’ve probably heard that the American bald eagle has just been removed from the federal list of protected species. While this comeback is certainly wonderful news for our revered national bird, those spreading the story are exploiting its opportunity to dust off moldy activist folklore. Virtually every news organization (including Fox News) reporting this... »
