This interesting letter from JFK to Rose Kennedy was posted last week by the JFK Presidential Library. Its explanation: In 1962, Rose Kennedy wrote to Soviet Premier Khrushchev asking for an autographed photo. Learning that his mother had reached out to the Soviet Premier, JFK wrote her this letter asking her to please [...] Obama blames Mexico’s gun violence on… you guessed it… on the U.S. “Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to [...] Elections have consequences — even — especially Mexican ones. Here’s a great story from The New York Times on Mexico’s shifting drug war policy after their last Presidential elections in December. But shortly after Mexico’s new president, Enrique Peña Nieto, took office in December, American agents got a clear message that the dynamics, with [...] This guy pretty much has Obama summed up: Harry Cole, news editor of the Guido Fawkes’ blog, was interviewed earlier this week on BBC Three’s Free Speech show. Asked about the Falklands issue by host Rick Edwards, Harry blasted President Obama’s refusal to recognise the Falklands referendum, describing him as “a hypocrite and a [...]
Photo: AFP/Getty Images When George W. Bush made gaffes, the media and (so-called) intelligentsia were all a-twitter (or a Twitter) will all manner of how idiotic the evil BOOSH was (or was it evil genius?). When the Light Bringer makes gaffes they go unreported by American media. To be fair, it is hard to [...] Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has finally found out the Truth He died Tuesday in Caracas at 4:25 local time after his prolonged illness. From the start, Chavez billed himself as the heir of Simon Bolivar, who led much of South America to independence. He often spoke beneath a portrait of Bolivar and presented replicas [...] 30 million locusts have descended on Egypt. How biblical. An enormous swarm of locusts is plaguing Egypt, in a development that agricultural authorities admitted they failed to predict. Egyptian Agricultural Minister Salah Abad Almoman said the swarm, comprising an estimated 30 million insects, descended on Giza, near southern Cairo, where it is causing great [...] From the Jawa Report Yeah, like Barry said “they are on the run.” Share on Facebook “Sequestration” is all the rage these days it seems. Of course most of the mainstream media tongue-bathes Obama in this issue. Bob Woodward, however, shows the lie that the GOP started all of this automatic spending cut nonsense and that Obama hisself started it all back in 2011 or so. Even so dear readers, [...] Obama has authorized the deployment of 100 U.S. troops for intelligence purposes to Niger aiding the French in operations in Mali: The US military has deployed about 100 troops in Niger to help coordinate intelligence sharing with the French, whose forces are currently fighting to seize Islamist-controlled territory in Mali, President Obama announced Friday. The [...] The moral of the David Petraeus saga is still “keep it in your pants” but nothing in this story surprises in the least David Petraeus was betrayed by his own bodyguards and vengeful high-ranking enemies in the CIA, who made sure his affair with his biographer was exposed to the public, a new book [...]
A soldier of the French foreign legion wearing a skeleton mask stands next to an armored vehicle in a street in Niono, Mali, on January 20, 2013. French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said today that the goal of France’s military action in Mali was to retake control of the entire country from Islamist [...] The Wall Street Journal nails it today vis a vis Hillary Clinton and her performance before Congress about her dereliction of duty in Benghazi and in general. As we watched this exchange, it occurred to us that Mrs. Clinton was back in a familiar role, and an ironic one for someone who is supposed [...] Rand Paul says what every reasonable American should think. And if you don’t think Hillary was an abject failure in Libya then you are a partisan hack — period. Share on Facebook Most Threedonians, being well-edumacated and informed as you all are, have known for while that the African country of Mali has been dealing with (read “losing”) and Islamist insurgency (read “take over with future radical oppression in the offing) for awhile now. We’ve talked about it before here and here. Well the French have conducted [...] If and when John F. Kennedy ever comes up in any of my classes I usually end up telling them that the hushed reverent tones with which he is referenced will become more skeptical and realistic as those Baby Boomers die out. I realize we all view our heroes through rose-colored glasses, but besides [...] Newly elected Egyptian President and Muslim Brotherhood stooge Mohammed Morsi finds himself in a bit of a pickle: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi left the presidential palace in Cairo on Tuesday, two sources reported, after protesters angered by his decree last month to extend his powers clashed with police outside. “The president left the palace,” [...] It’s probably not hard to imagine that a four star general over the years of a long Army career would find more than a few people that don’t really like him or his style all that much, so its not surprising that when the opportunity presents itself these people come to the fore as willing [...] Although a bit older than me, this guy nails my attitude about Europe, http://pjmedia.com/michaelledeen/2012/11/01/letter-to-my-european-friends/ It’s a quick read and I recommend it. What so many people miss (most Europeans I have met and far too many young, “educated” Americans) is how important the fact that America is different is to the world. Mark Steyn [...] |
