In 1940, the Soviet Union executed 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk, Russia.
The mass grave was discovered in 1943 by invading German troops,
but the Soviet propaganda machine create the
mythology that the massacre was committed by the Nazis:
In late 1943, as the Red Army began to recapture...
Elections have been set in Great Britain for May 6, pitting the Labour Party (headed by Obama-wannabe Prime Minister Gordon Brown) against the Conservative Party (“Tories”) (headed by David Cameron).
The election is shaping up as traditional nanny-state government (Labour) against less big government (Tories), echoing recent U.S. elections.
While all politics...
The Obama administration’s new nuclear policy, to which I
alerted readers
several days ago and again
yesterday, contains a very curious doctrine. As reported by
Jake Tapper:
In the [Nuclear Policy] Review, the US government will pledge to refrain from using nuclear weapons to attack any country in compliance with the Nuclear...
The United States does not have chemical or biological weapons. The main deterrent to an enemy using such weapons against us is the threat that we will use nukes.
No more.
As I mentioned a few days ago, the Obama administration was considering changing our policy of ambiguity as to when we would...
Wait for it. The next bailout will be for hospitals devastated by cut-backs as a result of Obamacare.
In Rhode Island, the prognosis already is not good for the survival of hospitals already struggling financially, which may be pushed over the brink. As reported by The Providence Journal...
Many of the criticisms of Michael Steele have been unjustified.
The hoopla over $2,000 spent by an RNC staffer at a “sex-themed” club without Steele’s knowledge or permission, may have made interesting headlines, but it was...
in the Democratic party, mainstream media and nutroots who insist that everyone who opposes Obama’s agenda is an extremist, and that the Tea Parties are the extreme of the extreme:
Frank Rich has been at the lead of the cabal of Democratic operatives, mainstream media columnists and left-wing bloggers who have engaged in a deliberate year-long smear campaign to paint opposition to...
There is plenty of speculation that the Chinese will agree to, or at least not block, new sanctions on Iran. The Obama administration stands ready to claim the credit, but if China comes around, it may be the threat of unilateral Israeli action which made the case.
The U.S. has no diplomatic...
I knew it would happen, and today it did.
I received a call from a former client and friend, a guy in his late 70s, who was a huge Obama supporter and a fairly mainstream liberal and Democrat.
In the past my friend very much enjoyed getting me agitated by frequently mentioning...
The NY Times ran an article yesterday about the growth of unpaid
internships, Growth
of Unpaid Internships May Be Illegal, Officials Say:
With job openings scarce for young people, the number of unpaid internships has climbed in recent years, leading federal and state regulators to worry that more employers are illegally using...
This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain:
As those of you who follow this blog know, almost every Saturday I highlight the use...
The jobs numbers released yesterday were nothing to cheer. Strip out the temporary hiring of Census workers, and a weather-related adjustment from February, and there was almost no net job growth.
As the stagnant 9.7% overall jobless rate reflected, there was no meaningful job improvement.
But you would not know it...
Another day, some more agitation by the Obama administration and Agitprop by the mainstream media, this time directed by Obama himself at Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk radio hosts.
This country is boiling over, after over a year of a strategy of crazy, in which Democratic leaders and in-the-pocket columnists and...
McClatchy reporter William Douglas was instrumental in spreading the claim that protesters at the Capitol shouted racial epithets at Congressmen.
As Jack Cashill at American Thinker documents, Douglas either was a speed writer of epic proportions, or Douglas pre-wrote much of the article in advance. You be the judge. I am completely...
