Free kibbles

FBI denies file reporting high level US officials supplied nuclear secrets to foreign spies.

Russia steps up its belligerence by threatening nuclear strikes. China has already threatened us with strikes as well. This illustrates that China and Russia are waging a new Cold War of Terror against us, and we're sitting around with our with our fingers up our noses.

The reason China and Russia can make these threats is they are ascending, Russia on oil wealth and China from development, and the US is descending. The solution is for the US to return to a trajectory of greatness by freeing the American people from the burden of government. American workers defeated the Soviet Union by outproducing the Soviets. American workers can outproduce both China and Russia if we cut the size and scope of government in half and adopt the FairTax.

After British pulled out of southern Iraq, Shiite on Shiite violence on the rise. Sadr is making threats. It's the challenge of the Maliki government, dominated by Shiites, to shut this down.

Israel has cut off supplies to Gaza to stop rocket attacks. You watch. Instead of the world rallying around the defeat of Hamas, the world will cry about the humanitarian crisis and blame Israel instead of the terrorists and the people of Gaza who harbor them.

US accuses Chavez of facilitating cocaine trade. He probably does. I'm sure he knows that the war on drugs is draining US resources of money and people while making criminals and enemies of the US ever more rich and powerful. But this accusation is more likely intended as a smear for political purposes, and possibly the beginning of a setup for a Noriega-style invasion.

It's good to know that foreigners want to invest in the USA.

China covers up 10 deaths in building Olympic stadium.

Apparently my prediction that Oprah might hurt herself by injecting herself into politics has come true: women turn on Oprah.

Despite the attempts by Nevada's culinary union to rig the casino caucuses in favor of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton won in the casinos and won the state. Romney won Nevada for the Republicans.

McCain wins tight race over Huckabee in South Carolina.

Is Ron Paul's second place finish in Nevada at 14% Ron Paul's ceiling?

How Edwards can play role of kingmaker.

Lunar base plans may be scrapped in favor of asteroid missions. A better goal than a lunar base would be to bring an asteroid into earth orbit for mining. This technology is also useful to stop asteroid collisions with Earth, so it's dual use. It gives us crucial experience in complex navigating around the solar system. And the mined asteroid could help develop of a lunar base or a Mars mission. It will also provide direct benefits to Earth in the form of raw materials.

Cell phone use before bed ruins sleep.

Mark Steyn exposes the NYTimes attempt to slander American veterans by promoting the fiction that they return as crazed killers. The fact is the civilized comportment of American combat veterans is a tribute to their character and training. Ralph Peter rips the NYTimes for its anti-military smear.

Rahm Emmanuel invokes FDRs fascist programs when he calls for a "New Deal for a New Economy". This is the epitome of the Democrat party. False big-government solutions to real problems previously caused by big-government that actually only aggravate the existing problems. The key to improving the quality and lowering the cost of health care, energy, savings, and education is to dramatically reduce government involvement in all these markets and every other market, adopt the FairTax, then lower the tax rate to reflect the reduced cost of government. My solution is also the solution to win the election. The FairTax will give the middle class an immediate 20-30% raise. Any candidate who can't use populism to sell the FairTax doesn't deserve to be elected.

Evaluation of the threat to Navy ships from Iranian fast boats.

Christopher Hitchens describes the hypocrisy of trying to transcend race or gender while also trying to capitalize on it for votes.

Charles Krauthammer explains why Clinton's analogy of MLK and LBJ to Obama and herself is bogus.

Easy to understand description of how tax rates affect capital, entrepreneurship, jobs, and wages.

Foreign governments pay the Clinton's 10s of millions of dollars, an obvious conflict of interest for Hillary.
