According to Biblical end times prophecies, the Temple of Solomon is going to rebuilt at a future time on its traditional site in Jerusalem. But in order for that to happen, the Temple Mount is going to have to come down first, which is why it always interests me when there’s violence in and around [...]

Something worth watching
October 26, 2009Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “President Obama’s Opympic-sized snub”
October 13, 2009Before George W. Bush became president, the world loved America. But then 9/11 happened, President Bush, the cowboy, began fighting terrorists without permission from the French, and suddenly the world turned on us, or so we were told.
For some reason, the left is obsessed with getting the world to like us, and Barack Obama promised the [...]
I thought we banned slavery already
October 11, 2009The John Galt Blog has some eye-opening information on an idea being floated by Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel that would mandate national service. There are several posts on the page, so you’ll have to toggle down to see everything that’s there.
People who should have won the Nobel Peace Prize
October 11, 2009Mary Katherine Ham has a list of individuals who should have won the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Barack Obama. If the award actually meant anything, it would have been given to someone who, you know, actually has some real-world accomplishments. But as I said two days ago, the Nobel Peace Prize has become, for [...]
No surprise at all
October 9, 2009We have learned this morning that Barack Obama has been named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner. The Nobel Peace Prize has become, for the most part, an award that leftists give to other leftists for their ability to recite platitudes.
The Nobel committee solidified its irrelevance two years ago when it gave the award to [...]
Almost fell out of my chair laughing
October 8, 2009A crew of Somali pirates thought they were about to raid a commercial vessel, but instead they ran across a French Navy ship.
“The pirates, who because of the darkness took the French ship for a commercial vessel, were on board two vessels and opened fire with Kalashnikovs,” Admiral Christophe Prazuck said in Paris.
La Somme is [...]
The ego has landed
October 3, 2009That’s the Drudge headline in the wake of the IOC’s rejection of Barack and Michelle Obama. Now I thought the world hated the U.S. because of George W. Bush, and that the Obamessiah was going to get the world to love us again. Well, he has succeeded to some extent in that respect. Dictators Hugo Chavez [...]
Olympic-sized failure for President Obama
October 2, 2009President and Mrs. Obama (as well as The Oprah) were in Copenhagen this week in order to lobby for Chicago as host for the 2016 Olympics. I’m not convinced that this sort of activity is what a president ought to be doing.
But anyway, you have to wonder if The One did more harm than good, because Chicago [...]
What’s the world coming to?
September 30, 2009We are in a situation where the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, is actually stronger on foreign policy than the President of the United States. President Sarkozy recently slammed President Obama on his pipe dream of a nuclear-free world. Remember, to quote the Maha Rushie, the world is governed by the aggressive use of force. The [...]
An ancient find
September 30, 2009Archaeologists in Rome have turned up what they believe is Nero’s revolving banquet hall that dates back to the first century.
Not only was Nero a Roman emperor, it turns out he may also have been the father of the revolving restaurant.
Archaeologists unveiled Tuesday what they think are the remains of Nero’s extravagant banquet hall, a [...]
Obama trashes America
September 25, 2009The freak show that is the United Nations is in session, and President Obama wasted no time in taking to the podium with his teleprompter and promptly trashing the United States, lamenting the fact that we are the world’s only superpower, then trashing Israel. Of course, the foreign dictators and thugs in attendance no doubt [...]
The U.S. should be leading the way
September 23, 2009The Canadians say they plan to walk out on Ahmadinejad’s speech today at the U.N. If I were leading the U.S. delegation, I’d do my best to outrun them to the door…unless the Israelis beat me to it.
Canada set to boycott Iran’s UN speech
What happens in the U.K. would happen here
September 3, 2009If you want a good idea of what life would be like under ObamaCare, you can always look to Canada or the U.K. and find out. That’s where they have government-run health care. And in the U.K., they have death panels. Go ahead, President Obama, tell us this wouldn’t happen over here.
In a letter to [...]
Do we want to do this in the name of Ted Kennedy?
August 30, 2009While the left rallies around the concept of KennedyCare, we get this headline from the UK, where they already have socialized medicine:

Wait until they see him lower the sea levels
August 28, 2009It looks like President Obama has a bit of a foreign policy dilemma going on with Israel. Only 4% of Israeli Jews believe The One is on their side. The other 96% seem to understand fully just who he is.

Why not agree to ban hurricanes and tsunamis while they’re at it?
July 8, 2009President Obama and other G-8 leaders have decided what temperature they want the earth to be. This is really groundbreaking, that a group of leaders can come together and dictate the weather. I wish they would expand their scope and place limitations on hurricanes, tsumanis, volcanoes, and earthquakes, since President Obama and his counterparts have [...]
Obama to Ahmadinejad: screw you
June 26, 2009Here’s one apology President Obama won’t be giving:
President Barack Obama scoffed at the idea that he should apologize to Iran’s leaders for criticizing their violent crackdown on demonstrators and said Friday it was President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who must answer to his own people.
Standing next to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Obama said the United States and [...]
Where’s the love?
June 26, 2009I thought the election of Barack Obama was going to repair our standing in the world after President Bush ran America’s image in the tank. Well, President Obama isn’t winning any popularity contests in Iran, and he’s not winning any in North Korea. Of course, these really aren’t nations you want as friends, at least if [...]
Nicolas Sarkozy declares France a burqa-free zone
June 22, 2009Three cheers for France’s conservative president, who isn’t afraid of offending Muslims by saying what needs to be said. If only we could get this back home.
“In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity,” Sarkozy said to extended applause at [...]
Will the U.S. Olympic hockey team win the gold in 2010?
June 22, 2009The similarities between the Obama presidency and the Carter presidency are beginning to line up. President Obama defeated a weak GOP candidate in 2008, just as President Carter did in 1976. The economy is taking a sharp turn south, just as it did during the Carter presidency. And President Obama appears to have a big [...]
