Tweet I promise that this post will be about what Sheldon Adelson had to say in an interview with Alana Goodman of Commentary Magazine. Before I get there, though, I need to begin with a little story of my own. Readers of my newsletter know that I had lunch last week with seven other conservative [...]

Tweet One of the most memorable advertising campaigns from WWII was the all-out effort to make sure that people didn’t inadvertently reveal military secrets that they’d gleaned from their work or from contacts with loved ones. The most famous is probably this one, because it’s got that memorable rhyme: The “loose lips” poster wasn’t the [...]

Tweet Yesterday, I urged you to view a 22 minute video that a 501(c) organization put together to show how severely the publicity-hungry Obama administration has damaged America’s national security and the risks to which that same administration has exposed its special ops forces and human intelligence assets, both at home and abroad. The Democrats [...]

Tweet People in the intelligence community — as well as intelligent people — have long been upset that, in the current iteration of the war against terrorists and terrorist nations, it is our own White House that is afflicted with the loose lips that can sink ships. A group of intelligence community specialists and SEALS [...]

Tweet In response to my post pointing out that being a closet gay is as good an explanation as any for the many holes in Obama’s past, Spartacus made an important point about putting unvetted people into the White House. It’s so good, in fact, that I’m elevating it to post status: “We understand that [...]

Tweet My earlier post was about the fact that the US spends and spends and spends, and saves very little. We definitely need to stop spending, but we need to be smart when we do it. Because our current administration tilts Left, it is reluctant to slow the hemorrhage but, to the extent it will [...]

Tweet When I was a little girl, one of the refrains in my life was “get your cotton-pickin’ fingers out of that.” I didn’t mean to be destructive. I was always certain I could make things better. I had bald Barbies, because I was pretty sure I could make their hair look better. I had [...]

Tweet I have been, I suppose, almost remarkably silent about the whole wikileaks fiasco. The data drop is of such enormous proportions, it’s actually difficult for me to process all the implications. I have, however, got a laundry list in mind of some conclusions to be drawn and some of the things it means, which [...]

Tweet Sometimes, a reader leaves a comment that is too good not to elevate to post status. This time, it was Spartacus, writing in response to my question about real ways (not stupid, embarrassing, intrusive ways) to improve airport security: *** A childhood friend of mine got married in the Tel Aviv area in 2002.

Tweet “Logic! Why don’t they teach logic at these schools?” — C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Neither Data nor Mr. Spock, two relentlessly logical creations, could ever be liberals or Democrats or Progressives, or whatever the Hell else they’re calling themselves nowadays. (For convenience, I’ll just lump them all together under [...]

Tweet From Keep America Safe, a video highlighting the distance between Obama’s rhetoric and his acts. I love the way the video ends with a repeat of the statement Sen. Scott Brown helped spread widely through America:

Tweet By now, you’ve all heard that Janet Napolitano, the head of Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, is going around saying that the system worked perfectly when a guy on the US no-fly list, who had been turned in by his own father, boarded a plane and detonated a bomb, only to be foiled by [...]

Tweet From The Weekly Standard: With the release of hundreds of emails by scientists advocates of global warming showing obvious and entirely inappropriate collusion by the authors — including attempts to suppress dissent, to punish journals that publish peer-reviewed studies casting doubt on global warming, and to manipulate data to bolster their own arguments — [...]
