Senator Bayh’s Domino Effect

Posted on February 17th, 2010

WSJ.com By JOHN FUND Political handicappers Larry Sabato and Nate Silver both projected recently that if the November election were held today, Democrats would wind up with only 52 Senate seats, a net loss of seven. Evan Bayh’s sudden retirement yesterday is prompting most observers to give Republicans an edge to capture his vacant seat, [...]

White House may move terror trials

Posted on January 29th, 2010

Do you see the far reaching clout of a Solid Principles editorial? No sooner do I compose and post a blog article, then NY politicians are falling all over themselves to abandon the insane idea of blowing a billion bucks on Lower Manhattan’s equivalent of the Barnum & Bailey/Ringling Bros. Circus, A.K.A the Gitmo detainees’ [...]

An Irrational Act

Posted on December 11th, 2009

Trying KSM in NYC will delay the verdict, and reduce the chances it is the right one. By Andrew C. McCarthy Here’s the biggest problem with the Obama administration’s decision to transfer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 jihadists to the civilian court system: It makes sense only if it’s being done for the [...]

Reversing Obama on the KSM Trial

Posted on December 2nd, 2009

If you want to be fully informed on the KSM terrorist trial being held in lower Manhattan, rather than the perfect security setting of Camp Quantanamo, Andrew McCarthy of the National Review has written the best piece that I have seen. Please take the time to read this fine article and then send a link [...]

Saturday Night Live Shreds Obama!

Posted on November 22nd, 2009

This review is all I can find on the GREAT SKETCH SNL did on Chinese President Hu Jintao asking for his country’s money back from the deadbeat Uncle Sam, currently headed by the Tax and Spender-in-chief, Barack Obama. They have a line that was repeated several times, to great comedic effect. I can guarantee this [...]

Travesty in New York

Posted on November 20th, 2009

By: Charles Krauthammer WASHINGTON — For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the “propaganda of the deed.” And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 — not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic. And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in [...]

Is America at war, or not?

Posted on November 17th, 2009

Are we at war – or not? By: Patrick J. Buchanan For if we are at war, why is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed headed for trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York? Why is he entitled to a presumption of innocence and all of the constitutional protections of a U.S. citizen? Is [...]

Bringing al-Qaeda to New York

Posted on November 16th, 2009

By the Editors Candidate Barack Obama urged a return to pre-9/11 counterterrorism-by-courts. President Obama’s Justice Department overflows with lawyers who spent the last eight years representing America’s enemies. Thus, Friday’s announcement that top al-Qaeda terrorists will be brought to New York City for a civilian trial is no surprise. That doesn’t make it any less [...]

Durbin, Quinn see economic boon

Posted on November 15th, 2009

The cash strapped state of Illinois sees a way of generating some Federal bucks by selling their mostly empty Thompson Correctional Center state prison to Uncle Sam. Seems like a logical thing to do if you live in Obamaland. Close down the state-of-art facility at Gitmo which is the PERFECT place to jail and try [...]
