Free kibbles

Our transformation into the Soviet Union continues with Soviet-style police cordons in Washington D.C. The mayor thinks he has the power to order Americans to stay out of certain neighborhoods and to demand ID to enter certain neighborhoods. Your papers, comrade! The collapse of the US is going to be far more spectacular than the collapse of the Soviet Union was. All in the name of fighting crime created by the War on Drugs. Why is anybody surprised that a city that completely bans guns would be so swamped by crime?

Jury acquits first Marine tried for crimes at Haditha on all charges.

Home foreclosures set record in Q1.

I guess Gates' feud with the Air Force is bigger than he let on. The Air Force Chief of Staff resigned under threat of being fired.

Zimbabwe detains US and British diplomats for investigating political violence. This report says the diplomat convoy was attacked.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed tries to turn his court proceeding into a circus, demands to defend himself.

Reason says 73% of Iraqis want us to leave. I don't believe it. Michael Yon, who's more embedded in Iraq than anybody in the press, says the Iraqis want us there. I don't know what poll Reason is referring to, but I think it's suspect. On the flip side, I'm sure the Iraqis do oppose a long-term US presence, and good for them. Maybe that's what the poll really asked. They are starting to stand up and take control of their country, and that was always the goal. The sooner they do it, the sooner we can bring our troops home victorious. And we can't forget, we're in Iraq for our security too. Cato advises President Bush to prepare Iraq for the withdrawal of US troops. Agreed. We should not enter any long term security deal that includes US troops based in Iraq.

This article on the conviction of Obama's close friend and associate Tony Rezko doesn't even mention Obama's name.

Obama tells DNC to stop overtly taking lobbyist money. I'm sure they'll still take lobbyists' money covertly like Obama.

Clinton will drop out of race Saturday. Clinton supporters switching to McCain.

Ron Paul Republicans are running for office.

For Thomas Sowell, this election comes down to which candidate will stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, so even though he considers these the worst 2 candidates since 1972, his choice is McCain.

These bystanders after a hit-and-run seem more confused than "having lost their moral compass" to me. I don't see anybody on a cell phone calling 911 though. The victim shouldn't be moved, so they can't do much. Sure, they should have stopped traffic, but I just think they were stunned.

NASA reports electrical disturbances in atmosphere before earthquakes may lead to accurate predictions. I wonder why this took so long to discover. We've heard stories for decades (or maybe millennia) about ball lightning and other electrical phenomena before earthquakes. We know that animals sense something before earthquakes.

Cato comes out for the US to help train and support Pakistani military for clear and hold operations, the same tactics employed by Gen. Petraeus in Iraq, in Pakistan.

Holy cow! Colorado's governor just signed a law making all restrooms and locker rooms open to all genders. What the heck? It sounds like it even applies to schools because they're public facilities, unless they're excluded. But why would they be excluded? This will have a frightening effect on women and especially girls in public. Women will no longer go to gyms or spend time in public if they might need to go to the bathroom because of perverts hanging out in the restrooms. Little boys will be following little girls into restrooms and leering at them. "Those who would attempt to protect females from this intrusion are subject to a fine of up to $5,000 and up to one year behind bars." This is the natural evolution of the GLBT movement that conservatives have been warning the country about. You can't legislate away human nature, especially the most fundamental nature of human existence - sex. This is what modern liberalism, which has taken over our government, has degenerated into. Pandora's box is open, and we're not going to like what it delivers to us.

Good for Barney Frank for attempting to legalize small amounts of marijuana. It's not much, but you have to start somewhere.

    According to Bill O'Reilly, yes they can regulate your sexual activity. He claims that secular-progressives are imposing their views on the American majority. He wants the government to tell us how to live.
