To Carol vdL, who sent me the 10kg (22lb) leather medicine ball from my Amazon wish list! I promise to slam it regularly. For freedom!

So. Our President’s answer to fighting the War on Terror? Stress “diversity,” refuse to name the actual threat, back the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, cede sovereignty to the UN and the Arab League, then arm (at least some) al Qaeda member in Libya. Potential outcome? The Muslim Brotherhood controls the transport of oil and helms a US-trained and armed military; al-Qaeda takes over 2% of the world’s oil, the proceeds

We aren’t. And I am. It’s the GOP leadership that needs to get the message out better. We extremists are doing all we can do — up to and including fighting those “opinion leaders” on “our side” who join Harry Reid and Howard Dean and Steny Hoyer and Chuck Schumer in casting us as fringe players interested in nothing more than launching rhetorical stink bombs. Here’s the thing: either the

Oh, I know! In exchange for promises to follow their Constitutional mandate to protect the country’s borders, the government will allow 12 million people to get away with breaking laws meant to protect the country’s borders! Reagan made this mistake. Thing is, he — and most of us — learned from it. Princess Lindsay, Jeb Bush, John McCain, et al? Not so much. Look: I understand that we can’t deport

…the mainstream press is rather conspicuously uninterested in the wailing and teeth gnashing of the Sheehan set. — Not only that, but it turns out that US smart bombs are somehow inherently smarter when deployed by a vacationing Marxist instead of an incurious Yalie with a twang. Imagine!

Well, if you’re John Boehner, you spray on a fresh tan, squirt a few fresh tears, then make a big ol’ pitcher of surrender-ade: Having difficulty finding consensus within their own ranks, House Republican leaders have begun courting moderate Democrats on several key fiscal issues, including a deal to avoid a government shutdown at the end of next week. The basic outline would involve more than $30 billion in cuts

All well and good. But not if it’s gonna interfere with “Dancing with the Stars.” A nation has to have priorities. And ours, in the age of media-driven Presidencies, are ordered just so: 1) “Dancing with the Stars” 2) Presidential announcement 9 days after the fact explaining why we are engaging in “kinetic force actions” in Libya after having conferred with the UN and the Arab League (rather than Congress),

“So. Who wants to grab a beer and a cheeseburger, then go outside and shoot up a few crates of them curly bulbs…?”

I commented a bit on this a few days back, but Thomas Sowell really hammers home the takeaway from the latest census data: The movement of the black population– especially educated young blacks– is the most striking […]. In the past, the massive movements of millions of blacks out of the South in the early 20th century was one of the epic migrations of a people– comparable in size with

Volokh: […] the broader point is much more troubling: Yet again, a talk that’s critical of radical Islam — and perhaps of Islam generally — has been kicked out of a location because of a fear of violence (whether stemming from specific threats related to this talk, or from threats made about other events in the past). Next time, the exclusion might interfere considerably more with the speech, especially if
