Visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in New Delhi on Saturday he no longer “trusts” the United States, accusing the Americans of saying one thing and doing another in his troubled homeland.
Karzai’s statement to journalists came a day after he insisted he would not be “intimidated” into signing a security pact allowing U.S. troops in Afghanistan to stay on after next year. Continue reading “Afghan president says he does not ‘trust’ U.S.”

An excellent perspective and well written article, however, one must get beyond the proper use and misspelling of: “leaf, border, and propaganda”, in order to realize the intent of the author.

A program that gives coveted immigrant green cards to wealthy foreign investors was so susceptible to fraud and abuse that it was used by an Iranian network that sought to send banned high technology home and spread terrorism abroad, federal investigators said.
The EB-5 program was used by “a network involved in a series of international assassinations and terrorism operations” that also was “procuring a variety of goods for Iranian entities,” states an unsigned memo from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made public Thursday. The memo was written in response to questions asked by Janet A. Napolitano as homeland security secretary. Continue reading “Senator’s memo shows Iran links in Homeland Security’s troubled immigration program”
The Internal Revenue Service, the one single federal agency that probably engenders more fear than any other, is backing down.
And it took the veterans of the American military to make it happen.
The American Legion is reporting on its website that a regulation which was costing that organization thousands of dollars, dozens of man-hours for compliance, and plenty of headaches, is being changed. Continue reading “IRS Retreats from Attack on Veterans”
A Fla. city is set to evict a widow for her unique lifestyle of “living off the grid.”

Asahi Shimbun, Dec. 14, 2013: Fire engines were used in a desperate, and ultimately futile, attempt to pump water to cool overheating reactors during the early phase of the 2011 Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant disaster, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. According to a Dec. 13 report by the operator of the crippled facility, water was pumped in sufficient quantity to avert core meltdowns in the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 reactors, but much of it strayed into irrelevant pipes and ended up elsewhere. […] water failed to cool it and the other reactors efficiently, and could not stop the core meltdowns in the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 reactors. […] TEPCO officials said they knew as early as late March 2011 […] “We should have shared the finding with the public in the belief it would help promote universal safety, but failed to do so,” said [a] TEPCO Managing Executive Officer […] Continue reading “Tepco: We should have told public this sooner… we failed to cool molten fuel after meltdowns began — Experts: Fukushima cesium release could be more than triple Chernobyl”

I really wish I didn’t have to write this post, but these execrable ”journalists” covering the Arapahoe High School shooting are giving me little choice but to confront their deception head-on.
As we now know, the shooter yesterday in Centennial, CO, was an 18-year-old male. He was presumably angry with the school librarian (who was also the coach of the debate team). The shooter took the debate team very seriously, and there was some sort of change in his status on the team, though it remains unclear at the moment whether he was kicked off the team, suspended from it, or merely demoted.

I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as ‘ninja’ … Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing.
A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. Continue reading “A Quote from Jeff Cooper”

On June 8, 1789 James Madison, the congressman representing Virginia’s 5th District, rose to speak in a session of the First Congress and advocated passage of a slate of amendments to the Constitution that would come to be known as the Bill of Rights.
On December 15, 1791, the requisite number of states (three-quarters, or nine states) ratified 10 of the proposed amendments and the Bill of Rights became the constitutional law of the land. Continue reading “Where Have You Gone, Bill of Rights?”

Sebastian Prevot watched helplessly as three police officers advanced on his wife. Prevot was handcuffed and bleeding in the back of a cop car. Half of his left ear dangled where it had been torn from his head. The Houston Police Department doesn’t deny that its officers gave Prevot these injuries during a late-night arrest in January 2012. The only dispute is whether he earned them.
Prevot had been returning home from a night out with a friend. He was two miles from his house when he stopped just past the white line at a four-way stop sign. Two officers in a patrol car tried to pull him over, but he kept driving. Prevot says he didn’t want to pull over and continued home—“going the speed limit, stopping at every stop sign”—because he knew he was about to be detained and have his car impounded.
