Truth And Common Sense

I caught the last of an interview with John Bolton on FOX.  There was a reference to Janet Napolitano’s comment that the security had done its job.  Of course Bolton, who is one person with common sense inside politics, pointed out that the only thing that saved the plane was the failure of the device [...]

I haven’t commented on this, but my wife and I were talking about absurdity and this came up.  The link is to an updated story.  Another story states that he was “convicted” but not fined or jailed by a judge.  Now, in all due respect, his lawyer had to be an idiot.  Being convicted of [...]

I’m stealing their headlines because it fits the subject so well.   The Washington Times have done a good job explaining what this whole dust up is about.  Frankly, in my opinion we have lost our minds with political correctness.  This is one reason I retired from law enforcement.  It is only a matter of time [...]

Imagine a number of world governments led by men and women intent on controlling the lives of their citizens.  The number is the majority of the governments of the world leaving few places for free minded and free willed people to flee.  That is the key, leave no place to flee and those who would [...]

This website has good content.  This is an example.  I’ve been gone killing deer for ten days and the whole Climategate issue blew up while I was away.  What I could gather it seems our friends on the global warming money circuit got caught cheating- for years.  I’d like to say “DUH!” but that would [...]

I was speaking to my ex-partner today about this report.  It seemed the bad guy, Hasan, was at one time trying to explain to his colleagues they needed to re-think the mental processes of jihadists.  His point was that Americans suffer from what I like to call the “John Wayne” syndrome.  We have a bad [...]

I’m going to defend and criticize the FBI at the same time.  You have to be able to separate the agents from the bureau.  The agents, by and large are good law enforcement officers.  Their bosses, maybe yes and then maybe no.  It depends on who they are and how they got there.  The trouble [...]

This Dutch author gets it.  Their country has been under assault by homegrown terrorists for years.  He knows one when he sees one.  We should be able to do the same thing, but as the author and Ralph Peters, and anyone outside the PC center of D.C./NY/LA have pointed out, we blind ourselves willfully.
I know [...]

I like Juan.  I may not agree with him, but I would consider him a good friend and would love to have him as a neighbor. I would also harrass him continously with a morning shout out, “Hey Juan, how’s that whole Obama thing working out for you. Have a nice day at work!”
You can [...]

Obama supporters blindly suggest that his animosity towards Israel is a good thing.  He’s extends an olive branch (or the safe key, depending on your point of view) to Iran and they all, in unison, jump up and clap.  If someone says that a nuclear Iran is a bad thing, the liberal left and Obama [...]
