Hitler Youth teach Aryan global racial superiority in London during blitz?
I think it was exactly two weeks ago today that I called for an arrest procedure for extremist imams preaching death and destruction, to young muslims in England and other western nations. My only point was that like in the 1920's when the federal government could not get close enough to Chicago mobsters by using their own tactics, they nabbed Al Capone for income tax evasion. Locked him up. Similarly in the 1970's RICO laws were established in New York to put heretofore untouchable mafia... Sign in to see full entry.

We all hope Discovery makes a safe return to Earth and never leaves again
July 31, 2005 Unpleasant Discoveries About the Shuttle By Steve Chapman NASA's deliberations about when to resume flights by the space shuttle bring to mind the New Yorker cartoon of an executive on the phone, looking at his calendar and saying, "How about never? Does never work for you?" After spending two and a half years and huge amounts of money to prevent a recurrence of the problem that destroyed the last shuttle, the agency now finds the problem has recurred. If NASA takes appropriate... Sign in to see full entry.

Misinformation on Valerie Plame Seen on "Press the Meat"...................
The Washington Times More misinformation on Wilson-Plame TODAY'S EDITORIAL July 26, 2005 Sunday's roundtable on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" provided yet another example of how some in the mainstream media substitute hyperbole and misinformation for fact in reporting on the investigation of how Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA agent became public knowledge.

White House enters the Supreme Court fights in excellent shape
Democrats Are on the Wrong Battlefield By Colbert I. King Saturday, July 23, 2005; Page A17 If John Roberts is confirmed as a Supreme Court justice, as now seems likely -- barring a shocker in his record or his past -- the reasons he made it won't be solely his résumé or the support of President Bush. The groundwork for Roberts's elevation to the high court -- and the likelihood of success for future Bush Supreme Court nominees -- was laid nearly three years ago in Georgia, Minnesota and...

How would Churchill have answered the Islamist threat? London Times
--> Opinion - Ben Macintyre July 23, 2005 How would Churchill have answered the Islamist threat? Ben Macintyre NEVER IN THE field of human conflict was one man so widely quoted by so many. John F. Kennedy once observed that Winston Churchill “mobilised the English language and sent it into battle”. Today, facing a new enemy, that powerful army of oratory is marching off to war again. Churchill is embedded in Tony Blair’s rhetoric, and behind every reference to the “Blitz spirit”. A brooding,... Sign in to see full entry.
"George W. Bush...unnecessarily attacked the "secular" Saddam Hussein"
Enough is enough By Victor Davis Hanson July 22, 2005 After the July 7 London bombings, some in the United Kingdom wondered if the bombing was in retaliation for Britain having troops in Iraq. Perhaps, they suggested, a withdrawal, emulating the Spanish appeasement after the March 2004 bombings in Madrid, would prevent further attacks. Now there has been another series of explosions in London. There are two flaws in such thinking. First, after the Spanish ordered their soldiers home, the... Sign in to see full entry.
