(LONG WAR JOURNAL)The State of Jihad: for 2007
The US and her allies in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond have witnessed both stunning successes and dramatic setbacks in the Long War during 2007. Pakistan has continued its slide towards a failed state, with the government having relinquished control over additional territory to the Taliban and, thus, al Qaeda. Suicide bombings and attacks on all segments of the state plagued Pakistan as the Taliban and al Qaeda cemented their new safe havens. Iraq, which seemed all but lost at the end of 2006 as the US appeared to lose the all-important...

Americans Standing Up:
Call to Arms for DC Troop Rally 15 March
All of us remember St. Patrick’s Day, 2007. It was blustery, cold, bitter and just about perfect. The time has come to revisit that emotion. Those who would disparage our brave men and women in uniform are planning to congregate in our nation’s Capital once again this coming March. On March 15, 2008, Gathering of Eagles, in coordination with Move America Forward, Freedom’s Watch, The Band of Mothers, Vets for Freedom, DC Protest Warrior, Eagles Up, Free Republic, New England Warrior and rank and file patriotic Americans, will come together to...
A Great and Terrible Beast is Birthing in Europe
I have heard the prophecies of a Great and Terrible Empire rising in Europe in the End Days since I was knee high to a grasshopper.As I grew older, I continued to hear them, and always read the news out of Europe with an ear for their path to empire. I always wondered how the independent-minded surrender monkeys in France would be brought into this Beast-government that would rule Europe with an Iron Fist, yet have feet of Iron and Clay mingled...

Our Judicial Despotism
As this year comes to a close, I find myself waxing philosophic.Who we choose as our next President will be crucial in determining whether or not we can walk the dog back from the Living Constitution back to the Written Constitution.If it is true that a construction of the Constitution by the Supreme Court, no matter how spurious or absurd, no matter how damaging to the organic life of the country, is eo ipso "the law of the land," unchallengeable even by a law made by the people's representatives...then, where, in all candor, are we?If a judicial...
More Inconvenient Truth for Algore
Warming Much Less Than Previously Thought
If a scientific paper appeared in a major journal saying that the planet has warmed twice as much as previously thought, that would be front-page news in every major paper around the planet. But what would happen if a paper was published demonstrating that the planet may have warmed up only half as much as previously thought?Nothing. Earlier this month, Ross McKitrick from Canada's University of Guelph and I published a manuscript in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres saying precisely that.Scientists have known for years that temperature...

Americans are Poorly Served at the Welfare Table
by Carl Mumpower
Guest CommentaryAmericans are Poorly Served at the Welfare TableDr. Carl MumpowerAs a country that works far more often than it does not, our future rests on the same American Success Equation of liberty, opportunity, and responsibility that has uplifted generations past. In today's America, there is a struggle to determine whether this equation, or one deceptively labeled as social welfare, will determine our future.As a vision, the concept of welfare has much to offer. The desire to help our fellow man beats strongly in the hearts of most...
West Carolina Report for Dec 28th
Since I am on a vacation schedule, my daily updates for West Carolina Report have been later in the day, and today is no different.Some of my neighbors and I have an odd tradition where we watch marathon showings of TV Shows or movie series.This year, it was the 3rd season of LOST, which we finished waaay ahead of our schedule last night instead of on Monday as planned, so we have boldly gone ahead with our threat of watching 5 seasons of Babylon 5 by Tuesday evening. This is insane!We managed to get in 6 episodes last night, and will be firing...

I have updated West Carolina Report for today, including coverage of the Bhutto assassination today in Pakistan on my World War IV page, and several stories about Ron Paul from the left and right about developing scandals in the Ron Paul campaign.Here is a video from Live Leak purpotedly of the attack on Bhutto.My connection keeps timing out on me before I can see anything much of it. (The horrors of a dial-up connection...
Bhutto Assassinated (Updated at Noon EST)
Before everyone begins to wax poetic about Bhutto, please remember that is was her incompetence, and her and her husband's corruption (as well as Sharif) that led to Musharaf taking the necessary step of a coup d'etat that saved Pakistan's nukes from falling into Islamists hands. Her death may complete what she could not accomplish in life...the loss of Pakistan's nukes into the wild. 12.57 pm Thunder Pig**updated at bottom of post**This is very...

Two Minutes of Hate with Keith Olbermann
George Orwell in 1984 captures perfectly a characteristic of radical thinking, if thinking is not too generous a term. The regime of Orwell's fictional "Oceania" regularly televises "Two Minutes Hate" that is required viewing for the population. These broadcasts are a shortened version of the regularly scheduled renditions of "Hate Week." During these exercises, everyone must follow the ritual of hate against those deemed enemies of the regime - "Goldstein" (Trotsky) being that regime's favored enemy. The purveyor of Hate Minutes and Hate...

Lakota Independence Story A Media-Encouraged Hoax! (updated)
I posted on the story a few days ago briefly, and even the local progressive group blog, Scrutiny Hooligans noted it.Now, it turns out that the Legacy Media (Legacy: as in outdated) has been ginning the story from Indian activists who don't even speak for the leadership! From Newsbusters:And who is the Russell Means? He is a long time Indian activist who does not officially represent any tribe, that's who. It takes the local press to make this clear. The Rapid City Journal of Rapid City, South Dakota informs us that, "Means' group is based in...

Ron Paul: Bought and Paid For By Anti-War Socialists at MoveOn.org
While researching for my last post, I ran across an intriguing blog, Sword At The Ready, who has posted this today:There is a reason I have been trumpeting the warnings about the supporters Ron Paul attracts. From anti-semetic NeoNazis at Stormfront and Secular Anarchists to Whorehouse moguls and rabid anti-war Leftists, the Mob Zombies of Ron Paul are growing in numbers and awash with cash, thanks in measure to the front groups MoveOn.org, Code Pink, Iraqcampaign.org of International Socialist Powerbroker George Soros, who both covertly and openly...
Conservative Blogger Opens Dialogue With Ron Paul Supporters
Okay, Ron Paul fans, it's your turn. (North Carolina voters only, please.) Katy's Conservative Corner wants to know, why, if Ron Paul is running as a Republican, do his followers hate the GOP so much? Your blogger doesn't get it. Why doesn't he run in another party or as an Independent? Your candidate has the same chance as any other. He's running in the same primary states and has the opportunity to buy media and generate so-called "earned"...

Karl Rove on Sean Hannity
I just heard Karl Rove on the Sean Hannity Show, and thought to share the audio of the discussion between Sean and Karl.This confirms my suspicion that the big boys would prefer the Hilda Beast as the opponent in the General Election in 2008.

Both Parties Continue a Pattern of Failed Promise by Carl Mumpower
Guest Commentary Both Parties Continue a Pattern of Failed Promiseby Carl Mumpower Tuesday, December 18, 2007 The 2006 election offered a clear indictment of the policies of the President and Republican Congressional majority and their failure to provide effective leadership on core issues. Illegal immigration, deficit spending, health care issues, unfair trade practices and job impact, social security solvency, erosion of America's educational standing, and other primary issues were sidestepped by those in control in deference to legislative...

The Honesty of a Cat's Purr by John Armor
Guest CommentaryThe Honesty of a Cat's Purr by John ArmorWe have two cats: Weasel, a grey female calico, and Orion, a male orange and white tabby. Orion is a big, lump of a cat, twenty pounds if he's an ounce. He's taught me a lesson for years that I finally realized today. He teaches by example.Orion showed up at the door four years ago in the fall. He was obviously a house cat, not a feral or wild one. He had no collar. We brought him water and food. He wanted to come inside, but we didn't let him. He was obviously someone else's cat; we shouldn't...

(VIDEO) They Are Coming For Your Weapons
The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means.You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the history books—in...

Charles Johnson, Following Rather?
So how well does the Dan Rather analogy apply to Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs?Some aspects of Mr. Rather’s situation seem quite apt. Consider what the The New York Times wrote in the wake of Rathergate, after CBS’ investigative panel issued its report:Over the next week or so, CBS News issued a number of press statements and “CBS Evening News” reports that staunchly defended the Sept. 8 segment despite increasingly strong indications that the reporting for the segment was flawed. The panel finds that these statements and reports...

The name of the entity receiving the award;2. The amount of the award;3. Information on the award including...
