EMP: Still Something to Keep You Up at Night

Monday, November 24th, 2008

In case you’ve already resumed sleeping normally after my prior post on the EMP threat, the Wall Street Journal has more to remind you of the danger.

The Greatest Threat Facing Our Country

Friday, August 15th, 2008

The single greatest threat facing the United States is probably not what you think. In the Cold War, the greatest threat was that of an all-out nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Most people today would probably say the risk is a terrorist attack involving WMDs. In our worst nightmares, we tend to picture a [...]

The End of Multiculturalism

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Lawrence Harrison has a great essay out on The End of Multiculturalism, in which he argues that multiculturalism is, ironically, both the root of the George W. Bush administration’s foreign policy difficulties and the causes of major crises here at home. Give it a read.

Mexico and the Merida Initiative

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

The United States is planning to give Mexico $1.4 billion to use in securing Mexico’s southern border. That’s absurd, given that we can’t secure our southern border, nor does Mexico have much interest in helping us do that. Presidente Calderon insists that this condition on the money’s use is not acceptable, saying, “I cannot accept [...]

Homeland “Security,” Indeed

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Unbelievable. Homeland Security easing immigrant background checks (translation: Homeland Security is skipping background checks on green card applicants).

Why It Has to Be Romney

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Despite my earlier post, I am ready to say: it has to be Romney. I surely heard about this, but I must have blocked it from my memory in horror. In 1999, Senator John McCain accepted an award from the National Council of La Raza. In case you’re not familiar with these moonbats, they oppose [...]

There’s opposing the war…

Monday, January 28th, 2008

And then there’s trying to undermine the nation’s ability to protect itself. Berkeley wants to treat military recruitment offices like porn shops. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin.

Where the WMDs Really Were?

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

A new report indicates that maybe they were all smoke and no fire. Interrogator: Invasion Surprised Saddam, Tells 60 Minutes Former Dictator Bragged About Eluding Capture – CBS News

Oh, that’s just great.

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

CNN reports that DHS is launching a “Ready Kids” emergency prep program. The program itself – costing more than $100 million – sounds pretty pointless. The best part is the following quote, from a report by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, in reference to the program website: The original plan included a Web site that [...]

Why I’m Not Holding My Breath on Border Security

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

I am one of those people who thinks every single cargo container entering the U.S. should be checked for radiation and easily detectable biological and chemical weapons threats. Unfortunately, it apparently takes the federal government 2 months to inspect an intercepted, 2 pound, UPS shipment of belt clips for gloves. Duh.
