This is the face of the enemy: A 7-year-old boy was murdered by the Taliban in an apparent act of retribution this week. Afghan officials said that the child was accused of spying for U.S. and NATO forces and hanged from a tree in southern Afghanistan. Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of [...]
I got this from the Facebook page of Ed Levine, a local 2nd Amendment advocate, and my reaction to it was the same as his. A local police department in Nevada decided to “test emergency procedures” by putting an off-duty police officer in the role of a terrorist and having him stage an attack on [...]
Today as most of us enjoy the day off I urge you to take a moment to recall the meaning of this day. We have all enjoyed the benefit of the actions of those fallen soldiers we honor. It is in thanks for those actions that we should pause, remember, and offer up a prayer [...]
Stupid, crass, insulting… That’s what I think of President Obama’s decision to take off on his vacation and not attend the Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknowns.

After seeing that video sources had possibly identified the terror bomber in the failed NYC attempt this past weekend I had some hope that they might actually be able to nab the guy. Seems they did, and by a whisker: A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen accused of trying to detonate a bomb-laden SUV in Times Square [...]
Hmmm, let’s see. Suspicious, unattended vehicle parked in, arguably, the busiest section of downtown New York City is packed with propane tanks, gasoline, and explosive powders, all hooked up to a timing device and they think it could be, just maybe, an “act of terrorism.” Ya think? I’ll tell you this: I’m not thinking it [...]
Word is coming out that the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar, is making noises about holding peace talks with “western politicians.” According to the reports, Omar no longer wants to rule Afghanistan: In an interview with The Sunday Times, two of the movement’s senior Islamic scholars have relayed a message from the Quetta shura, [...]
