Washington Post – by Henry Kissinger

Public discussion on Ukraine is all about confrontation. But do we know where we are going? In my life, I have seen four wars begun with great enthusiasm and public support, all of which we did not know how to end and from three of which we withdrew unilaterally. The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins.

Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other — it should function as a bridge between them.   Continue reading “Henry Kissinger: How the Ukraine crisis ends”

Sheryl Sandberg doesn’t like a word a lot of people and parents use to describe little girls.

In an editorial for The Wall Street Journal, she called it “the other B-word.” She says as a kid, she didn’t really play with other kids, instead the current chief operating officer of Facebook used to organize their play.   Continue reading “Sheryl Sandberg: The Word ‘Bossy’ Should Be Banned”

“Communism. I’ve seen it, I’ve lived it. I will hate it until the end of my life.

Most of you here say guns in the hands of people can defeat tyrants. Regardless of what you may hear from naysayers and firearms ‘hobbyists’ who will tell you AR’s and AK’s in civilian hands are no match for tanks and machine guns (I remember one such hobbyist posting this here on Calguns), I come before you to tell you that what you believe to be true it is true: on December 22nd 1989 me and thousands of my compatriots we did just that.   Continue reading ““Why Do I Fight For 2A Rights?””

    An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two elderly gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.”

The other man said, “What’s the name of the restaurant?”   Continue reading “Senior Moment”

Moscow (AFP) – Russia has refused to budge from its seemingly imminent annexation of Crimea, defying Western pressure at the UN Security Council, as Ukraine’s ousted president prepared to make his first public appearance in more than a week Tuesday.

As Kremlin-backed forces tightened their grip on Crimea, Russia rebuffed pressure from Western members of the Security Council on Monday to change course on a secession referendum in the strategic peninsula.   Continue reading “Russia stares down UN pressure on Ukraine”

WEB Notes: No, McCain it would be tragic to send more of our young men and woman off to be killed in another senseless war.

(LewRockWell) – If the US/EU backed overthrow of the Ukrainian government last month had a face, that face would be Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). McCain is the “Energizer Bunny” of US interventionism: wherever there is a government to subvert, a regime to change, chaos to foment, there you will find McCain in its midst.   Continue reading “McCain: ‘It’s Tragic’ There’s No U.S. Military Option In Ukraine”

I was horrified beyond measure to learn that the FDA is now, unbelievably, like something out of a Nazi horror movie, invading farms and telling the farmers that healthy, organic practices are now no longer allowed, under the authority of the falsely named “Food Safety Modernization Act”. Why are we paying feds who have never so much as sprouted a bean to harass farmers about what they should do? This is tyranny in the extreme, and if this is not stopped, the long term results will be catastrophic.   Continue reading “Federal Agents Destroying Farming – Plus: “Secrets of the Soil””

Over the decades various administrations, seeking to improve their economic record, monkeyed with economic statistics to the point that the statistics are no longer meaningful.

According to Friday’s (March 7) payroll jobs report, the US economy created 175,000 new jobs in February. If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I’ll let you have at a good price.   Continue reading “No Jobs, No Economy, No Prospects For Peace Or Life”

The Gazette – by Tom Roeder

Some residents of eastern Colorado Springs saw an impromptu air show Monday morning as a pair of fighter jets escorted an airliner into Peterson Air Force Base during a training exercise.

The sight had some worrying that the transport had been hijacked or suffered some other emergency.

“From what I have read, this is the procedure if there is some type of in-flight emergency,” said Steve Learning, who spotted the planes over his neighborhood near Barnes and Marksheffel roads just after 10:40 a.m.   Continue reading “NORAD training exercise over eastern Colorado Springs draws attention”
