Boots on the ground

Scotland is still in the United Kingdom. That means Texas must admit the Free Texas Republic probably won’t be able to secede. Shucks! Additionally, it indicates the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations can breathe a little easier knowing the drive to declare them a parking lot for Massachusetts and Connecticut probably will go no further. (As “L’il Rhody” is my home state I feel no problem with stating the obvious.)

ObamaCare architect Ezekiel Emanuel has anounced the 'optimal age of death' - you won't like it

Democrats seem to love death. Whether they're yammering about abortion or "end of life" planning, they just can't get enough of talking up the myriad ways people can exit life's stage. They always claim this is simply a discussion about personal responsibility and individual choice but, since they despise those ideals in virtually every other matter, it's a hard argument to buy.

Megyn Kelly rips into terrorist Bill Ayers after he says she's a 'cyborg' with 'cold eyes'

Yesterday, the far-left goons over at Salon.com ran a piece in which Weather Underground founder and terrorist Bill Ayers discussed his recent Fox News interview with Megyn Kelly.  In it, he said the following:

Why Rouhani loves New York

To say that this US policy is madness is an understatement.

ISIS, NFL Are Case Studies of What Happens When Leaders Don’t Lead

Today: As UN debates North Korean human rights, 20 famous survivors of atrocities urge Switzerland to freeze regime bank accounts

GENEVA, – When the UN rights council this morning debates North Korea's record, a human rights NGO will take the floor to present an open letter sent today by 20 North Korean defectors to Swiss president Didier Burkhalter calling to freeze the regime's bank accounts held in the country.

No Global Climate Deal Unless Wealthy Nations Improve Emission Targets, China Warns

Wealthy countries should increase their emission commitments if a global pact on climate change is to be reached next year, China's top UN climate negotiator said Friday. Emission commitments made so far by developed countries account for just 30 percent of the global total, said Xie Zhenhua, China's chief negotiator at UN climate talks, citing researchers' estimates. "This is a situation that we do not wish to see," he told reporters in Beijing, arguing that wealthy countries have failed to take the lead to cut emissions and provide funding and technological support to developing nations as promised. --Agence France-Presse, 19 September 2014

Ukraine Pleads for Help, as GOP Backs Obama’s Dangerous Syria Policy

Obama’s reckless proposal for direct military intervention in the civil war in Syria has thrown the Republican Party into turmoil. Perhaps this was intentional

How can Scotland be independent when Britain lost its independence to the EU?

Scotland’s so-called fight for independence was another one of those epic battles lost before it ever began. The passions played out in pictures; the threats of corporations and banks withdrawing from Scotland the Brave; the repeated reminders that Scotland breaking away from Britain would lead the way for other countries to strike out on their own was all for naught.

Scotland rejects independence, will remain part of UK

This seemed to be a movement about not much, and in the end, a majority of Scottish voters decided that's how they saw it too. Scotland is a much more left-wing place than England (not that either one of them is exactly Texas), and since the Tories re-took control of the government in the UK, younger left-wing Scots have been agitating to take their bagpipes and kilts and march away to form their own nation.

Is Obama winning his game?

One of Obama’s favorite games is ‘shift the word and meaning' game. It reflects his deepest beliefs that lies, chaos and distraction are transformation strategies that an emerging ‘star dictator’ needs. The game goes like this: Always lie to the masses, insert cheat cards throughout the deck without the players knowing and redefine what is really going on right in front of your ‘stupid’ opponent’s eyes.

Obama Importing Disease & Covering It Up?

Barack Obama’s passion for bringing illegal aliens into America in order to grow the base of the Democrat Party has been well chronicled and is legend in the annals of Impeachable Offenses committed by a president.

Obama DOJ Refuses to Release Fast and Furious Docs

The "most transparent administration in history" is once again revealing the rank hypocrisy of President Obama's assessment. In a motion filed Monday night, lawyers from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) asked U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to delay the transfer of documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, until after her rulings requiring that transfer can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. If their bid is successful, it could push the appeals process past the Obama administration's time in office. In short, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is trying to run out the clock.

Uncertain trumpet: An anti-war president goes to war

As the Congress and the country debate the momentous question of how to meet the threat posed by the Islamic State and other enemies in the war on terrorism, one thing has become increasingly clear: It’s impossible to conduct and win a war when you’re led by an anti-war president.

Lax naturalization process contributes to homebred terrorism

Reports of the arrest of another home-based terror suspect was received with diminishing surprise among American newswatchers as the FBI handcuffed another naturalized citizen, Mufid Elfgeeh for plotting against his adopted country. A native of Yemen, where the USS Cole was attacked and President Obama claimed a successful example of American terror policy in his national address September 12, Elfgeeh is another posterboy for lax enforcement of immigration rules by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Dumfries House Walled Garden

The very earliest idea of a garden dates back to Persian walled gardens. The ancient Egyptians also did their gardening behind walls.
