Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve got about 30 tabs open. They’re memory hogs, so I want to share their contents with you as quickly as possible so that I can shut them down and look for more stuff. Hold onto your hats, ’cause this is going to be quick: Voices inside administration challenge Obama’s
Continue readingWhen it comes to Navy SEALS, Don Mann is the real deal. He was an active duty Navy SEAL for seventeen years, including eight years on SEAL Team Six. As he describes his experiences: As a member of Seal Team Six for over eight years and a SEAL for over
Continue readingBefore you start hammering away at me, let me explain what I mean about my claim that the sacrifice the SEALS and their rescuers made during Operation Red Wings was indeed a waste. I am referring, of course, to Jake Tapper’s asking Marcus Luttrell whether his comrades died in vain.

Continue readingI wonder whether any branch of the military has lost a larger proportion of people than the Navy SEAL in the years since 9/11. Certainly they’ve done their bit and more to fight for American freedoms. We now learn that, in Benghazi, former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen
Continue readingDid Bill Clinton mean to paint Obama as so invested in himself that he is incapable of any finer feelings? Bill’s a wily guy, so it’s entirely possible that, when he speak of dead SEALS being a bad outcome, not for the SEALS, but for Obama, he intended to make
Continue readingYou know that expression “Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel”? I think Obama might want to coin a new one, something along the lines of “Never pick a fight with the toughest, bravest, meanest, scariest-ass fighters in the world.” I like watching martial arts
Continue readingThe Navy SEALS’ job, pretty much, is to deal with Muslims who have an axe to grind. For years in Afganistan and Iraq, they’ve used their strength and skills to face down Islamists in the battlefield. Facing angry Islamists in the political field, though, is apparently more than the SEALS
Continue readingWithin the last two weeks, I’ve read two Navy SEAL books: Marcus Luttrell’s Service: A Navy SEAL at War and Chris Kyle’s American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. The books have a lot of similarities, separate from the fact that both are books
Continue readingObama’s War on Women backfired when one of his operatives made a stupid attack against Ann Romney and Moms. Obama’s Dog War against Romney backfired when it turned out that he’d dined on dogs. Now, it looks as if Obama’s “I killed bin Laden” shtick is going to backfire too:
Continue readingOf the many, many things I do that irritate my husband, two are pertinent here. First, I actually listen to what he says. This can be frustrating for him, because he doesn’t always use his words with precision. When we’re having a discussion and I say “But you said…” his
Continue reading[UPDATE: I received an email from someone who I have reason to believe is indeed close to the story, rebutting my charges. I still think the film slipped up, but I am certain that the SEALS are not antisemites. Read more here.] In my earlier post, I accused Act of

Continue readingBoth the SEALS and Charlie Sheen have been in the news lately, the SEALS for an extraordinarily well-planned, brave and effective operation, and Charlie Sheen because he’s a drugged-out piece of human detritus. Did you know, though, that the two — that is, the SEALS and Sheen — have something
Continue readingArgghhh! is running a caption contest for a photo showing Joe Biden speaking to a group enrolled in the Navy SEALS program. When you see the picture, you’ll understand why so many of the proposed captions involve the size of a gun or some other, more personal weapon. I’m no
