REFLECTIONS

After eight months of consideration, border patrol agents Ramos and Compean’s appeal has been ruled upon.  The ruling?  Denied.  The ruling was 3-0. Let’s put aside the fact (for now) that the only witness against the perjured himself in the original trial (from the final paragraph of the ruling: “The trial of the case was [...]

The BurkeanSon wants to blog about the quake.  So here is his eyewitness account:   Well being a homeschool student I spend most of my time at home.  So I was doing my math work when I felt a big shaking and I was shaking myself a little.  I also heard a rather loud noise accompanying [...]

I haven’t seen Toby Turner since shortly after she became Toby Turner.  I knew her since the age of 9 as Toby Dunsmore and I remember one summer that seemed like nothing but an endless game of hide n seek with Toby and her sister Leah.   I knew the girl, but never the woman.  Now [...]

This has got to be the funniest thing anyone is going to write this year.  And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that [...]

Gerhard Spörl has decided the American election in her Der Spiegal Online piece, No. 44 Has Spoken: “Europe is witnessing the 44th president of the United States during this trip.” Of course, Germans do tend toward demi-gods. Hat-tip to Mark Hemingway at National Review Corner responded to Gerhard’s delusion, “This must have been a difficult [...]

The one thing no one may say in this land of free speech is that Obama is only where he is because of the color of his skin.  Geraldine Ferraro, with all her liberal credentials, said it and was immediately fitted for her white sheet.   The Word has been handed from on high, to say [...]

I knew that Sen. and Mrs. McCain had adopted a baby girl from one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages.  But I have never actually seen a picture of Bridget McCain until today over at Gateway Pundit http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-talks-about-lifting-child-in.html I can see why the MSM keeps all pictures of Bridget under raps.  It can’t do their Obamamania any [...]

While I likeRush Limbaugh, his website is the most busy-buddy, bandwidth-wasting sites I visits. If you are not visiting with a fast connection you will cancel the attempt when it takes forever and a day for the ads to boot-up.

We are learning a couple of things with the financial difficulties of federally backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. The first is that public [...]

In actual distance Bakersfield CA isn’t that far from Hollywood.  In the character of their people it is on the other side of the world from Hollyood.  Or rather Hollywood is on a whole other planet.  Army Sgt. Michael Alexander Espejo Jr of Bakersfield was awarded the Silver Star for his heroic actions which saved [...]

Here is another story of a National Guardsman recieving a medal for heroics in The War On Terror.   http://www.adaeveningnews.com/local/local_story_198162657.html Well done Specialist Jordan!

In this post http://marlettsmith.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=491  besides making the case for McCain I point out that President Bush has not been the conservative most conservative pundits claimed he would be.   Over at The Corner a reader made the same point http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OWQ1Yjc5Yjk2ZTRhZjU0N2QzMDVkM2JhZTY2MTJkNWU=   Unlike the folks at NR and Rush I am not disappointed or feel betrayed that [...]

Michelle Malkin has cleverly graphed the rise in gas prices and shows conclusively how it is related to the Democrats control of Congress.  If you didn’t know this, you probably still don’t because you are choosing blindness.  But the sighted of the world will enjoy this chart.  http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/09/pelosis-bitter-words-on-energy-are-catching-up-with-her/

NRO posted this cartoon response to the Obama New Yorker cover.  http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NTE5MWUzMzBhYmI0ZjZiMDllYTNlYjY2NThlZTZmNmY= The problem is for the most part this cartoon would make a lot of right wingers happy.  Most conservatives already think McCain burnt the Constitution with Campaign Finance Reform.  As for the rest I for one wouldn’t care how many pills Pres. McCain [...]

Michael Barone remembers the Berlin airlift in a must read column today, giving particular mention to the candy “bombs” the air force rained down on the Berlin children.  http://jewishworldreview.com/michael/barone071408.php3 He mentions there must be candy bombers today though the MSM wouldn’t consider telling us.  Today’s candy bombers are Beanie throwers.  Soldiers pass out Beanie Babies to [...]

The US completed removal of over 550 tons of uranium yellowcake from Tuwaitha in Iraq sometime earlier this year. The yellowcake ended up in [...]

After the horror of weeks with no Mark Steyn columns he returned this week, guest hosting Rush’s show and apeparing on Hugh Hewitt.  The man is a genius at poking holes in liberal hot air balloons.  No wonder the liberal dictatorship in the Canadian Human Rights Congress has to try and shut him down.  But [...]
