George Will on surprising crime statistics

George Will does his homework. This article is the first I've seen that explains some of the reasons incarceration of Blacks is so high, the oft quoted "there are more black men in jail than in college" is false। Yes, it is simply not true -even if Obama says it over and over on the stump- 'taint so MON!

FACTS are nice to have once in awhile instead of FEELINGS.

Will drags out the NY Times headlines "Crime is down, but prison population up" DUH? This type of headline appears all the time in liberal leaning newspapers. The fact that black men kill black men at a much higher homicide rate than any other race is never mentioned in the press- but the FACTS bear that out also.

Baracks ACORN sucks up tax dollars and indictments

Barack Obama: ACORN ball from Chicago Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin was here at UW-Madison last on April 4 08 thanks to the College Republicans (CR) hosting the Wisconsin convention of CR's. Believe it or not, the UW-Madison has the largest group in the state.

Her article covers ACORN, the group that Barack Obama in his first book, Dreams From my Father only ID ed his Chicago work in the 82-84 time frame as 'community organizer" without ID ing ACORN.

This group is in fact a notorious arm - make that armpit- of the Democrat party with dirty election practices standard fare. Chicago: Where even the Dead vote Twice. ACORN lives the slogan. This is where Obama got his groove and grease.

What should anger many conservative Democrats- all eleven of them (I can only name 3 off the top of my head.. Joe Liebermann, and ah.....OK , only one) - Independent voters, Republicans, Conservatives and Libertarians- (screw the Naderites, Greenies and Code pinkos) is the flat out cheating and throwing elections paid for with their own taxes to ACORN balls.

Rich Lowry on Its tuff being a senator

Rich Lowry's tongue in cheek article on June 23 08 is a hoot. Not one, but two (so far) Democrat Senators have been caught with their greedy little hands in the till via sweet heart mortgage loans from Country Wide. Even though they are on the Senate Banking Committee (Dodd) and Budget Committee (Conrad) they claim ignorance of getting 'special VIP" personal loans even though they regulate deal with the industry almost daily.

We are supposed to believe they are too stupid to see a bribe that saves them thousands of dollars from the industry they already receive massive amounts of money come election time- or any other time for that matter.

Note also the lack of coverage in the MSM. If this were Republican Senators it would be fodder on late night TV comedians and nightly news casts for at least a week. Was it even covered on network or Cable TV newscasts? I can't tell you- been out of the loop crossing the mighty Lake Michigan on the SS Badger last week. Have a dollar that says it wasn't mentioned on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or CNN or.......

Thank you President Bush for all you have done and for protecting us so well since 9/11/01

President Bush has many good reasons to smile. He's freed 50 million people, taken down the Islamofascist terrorist organization and prevented another 9/11/01 attack in America. Compare to President Clinton's legacy- "it depends on what your definition of 'is' is"

Today's (June 12 08) Ann Coulter Column contains these classic caustic Coulterisms:
"The sheer repetition of lies about Bush is wearing people down. There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant -- if that's not damning with faint praise. John McCain should be so lucky as to be running for Bush's third term. Then he might have a chance. "

And Obama is running for Jimmy ( I can't find it with both hands) Carter's second term!

Why we went to war in Iraq -An Arab scholar's view

Fouad Ajami - Prof. Johns Hopkins Uninversity

Great article in the Wall ST. Journal sent on to me by my friend Wendy, also a colleague and member of VOTE NO TO CUT AND RUN- a group we formed in 2006 to remind Wisconsin to support the troops, you support their mission.

The author is an Arab scholar, FOUAD AJAMI and he eloquently reminds us of the acommplishments and vast changes in the War against the terrorist who struck us on 9/11/01 and the changes for the good in the world because of it.

One of his many good points: Now that the war is going so well with far fewer deaths, better command and control in country, better, stronger Iraqi army, police and government in general the press is no longer interested.

So like Scot McClellan the press rat, let's look now from the point of view of hindsight and keep the Blame Bush machine running by hammering away on the beginning of the war and the many reasons it was called for!

Coulter: If we could talk to the Animals

Just read Ann Coulter's lastest column as usual, she is on the mark and actually ID the Sen. in '39' who actually said" If only I could have talked to Hitler..." As Ayn Rand said in Atlas Shrugged "when Good compromises with Evil only Evil wins" or words to that effect. Obama has stated he will talk with any leader with no preconditions and has been held to that statement.

I heard all the news clips of Pelosi, Reid, and 5 or six more leading Dems reacting to the Pres. at the Knesset speech about the failure of apeasement. They all used exactly the same words in the same order.

They can't even re=phrase their talking points- pathetic.

Pelosi went into Syria 6 months ago and bad mouthed the USA, but the president can not mention the failure of British appeasement at Munich to a country surrounded by enemies sworn to wipe them off the earth?

OBAMA and the Jews. I know what's best for you.

Great article in Today's (5/20/08) Wall Street Journal. Obama knows what is best for the Jews in Israel. The guy is either arrogant beyond help or more likely, just naive and uninformed.

Suggestion: Go back to your "Change and hopping for Change and Changing for Hope" mantra.

Whenever he tries to make a statesman-like comment he only tastes his own shoe leather.

Michelle on Michelle Baracks Bitter Half

Michelle Malkin like David Horowitz, needs to travel with a body guard to keep all the Left Wingnuts from attacking her. She did this article on Michelle Barack and her whining about how tough it is to be an American these days. Let's see... both she and Barack went to the finest schools, Princeton and Harvard Law. Both came from simple, and low income backgrounds - She from S. Chicago, Barack from Hawaii-and yet somehow managed to attend the finest colleges in the Nation.

How did they accomplish that? Was it by sitting back and complaining about how tough it is in America or by setting high goals for themselves and doing everything they could to succeed? Hmmmmm. That's a tough one.

Both are making big bucks- She gets over $350,000 a year in a job she got after Barack became a Senator, he limps along on his Senate Salary and the royalties from his books, they own a 1.6 Million Dollar house- your typical black family living from pay check to pay check.

Pull- Lees...Rich people complaining about how tough things are should shut their pie hole and learn better manners.

The foolishness of corn for fuel

WE are in "The new Dark Ages" Part I

This article, "Food fuel No Laughing matter" shows the effect that conversion of food into fuel is causing world wide. The old saw about the press and their emphasis on class warfare- "World to end, minorities and poor to suffer most" or a similar quote is used here to demonstrate that the sudden price increase in grains, basic ingredients due to conversion to Biofuel is real and hitting the poor first and hardest.



Even the Republicans in the SENATE have asked that the tax subsidized ethanol conversion be slowed to ease price pressure on Corn- which shot up to $6 a bushel in April of 08.



Personal take: this tax boondoggle subsidy of 51 cents a gallon for Ethanol will go down in history as one of the dumbest "the sky is falling" programs ever legislated by the Democrats- with many weak-kneed Republicans falling in line.



It will be eclipsed only by the panic stricken Church of Global Warming cult believers and their turning free economies into Soviet style 5 year plans shown to be so successful in starving millions in the old USSR and China- or any Socialist country for that matter. N. Korea, Cuba etc.

Ann Coulter Not the Wright stuff

Ann Coulter's column

on Obama's ongoing problems with the Rev Jeremiah Wright is entertaining for us and a fright for him. 'Course he was married by the Rev. Wright, baptised his daughters there and has been a member of the congregation for 20 years, gave the church $20 K last year... but is just now cognisant of the racist hatred he's been preaching all these years. Must be a sound church sleeper!

The Real Joe McCarthy- Same old Same old take on Joe

An article in Wall Street Journal by Ronald Kessler on April 22, 08 entitled, "The Real Joe McCarthy" is quite amazing in its total disregard for facts that are now fully documented about McCarthy. All the old liberal historian's and left wing politician's smears against McCarthy are recited by Kessler. It is embarrassingly obvious Kessler never read or even opened M. Stanton's 2007 Book , Blacklisted by History-the untold story of Sen. Joe McCarthy" let alone Arthur Herman's evenhanded "Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America's most Hated Senator" 2000 or Ann Coulter's very meticulous and footnoted chapters on McCarthy in her book, "Treason" of 2003. The first 100 pages of Coulter's book addresses the Cold War, McCarthy and the "red scare" Alger Hiss etc. Several books on the Venona Cables were written in the 90's as well as articles and books by former KGB officials that were running spies in this country during that time.

Though Kessler sites the Venona cables it is also obvious he didn't read the documentation that nailed many of the spies- including Hiss- that McCarthy was simply trying to get the State Department and the Army to investigate. Kessler mentions McCarthy's Executive sessions in which he gave people the oportunity to testify freely without their names being revealed. A huge number of people who testified in Exec session were never called into open session and never suffered damage to their reputations. Kessler missed that point also.

Even the Army McCarthy hearings were turned into an investigation of McCarthy while minimizing the solid evidence of the Army being heavy with spies. The Rosenbergs got much of their materials from the Army researchers after all.

Amazing that in this day with all of the new books and documentation through Venona, the writings, books and testimony of former KGB operatives of spies in the State Department, Treasury, and Army the many people will not accept any change in the McCarthy as a wrong headed bully- even if the facts supported his asking for investigations of obvious spies.

Read Dreams from my Father by Obama

Finished Obama's first book, "Dreams from my Father" 1995, new version edition 2004 which includes his nomination speech for Sen. Kerry at the Democrat convention. After reading Ann Coulter's review of it I decided to read it for myself- she was right!

Overall view: He writes better than I thought he would. He reveals little about himself and less about his white mother and grandmother and a lot about his failed white Grandfather and his equally inept, irresponsible and absentee father. Regardless of his Kenyan Father and Grandfather's failures that part of the book is the best.

He was raised as a white kid in Hawaii for the most part by his white grandparents. His grandmother worked his grandfather mostly laid around the house. His mother divorced his father after he left them in Hawaii after he got his degree. Only later do we discover his father had a wife and family in Kenya. His mom married a man from Indonesia and Obama and mom lived there where he attended a Madras school. She divorced him and dumped Obama with her parents back in Hawaii.

His dad married and deserted two more women and their families- one white, another Kenyan and spent most of his life as a drunk.

The mystery of this book to me is how Obama got into the most prestigious prep school in Hawaii, how his grandparents and mother managed to pay for the tuition at an expensive and tony private school Occidental College in L.A. or how he could afford to attend Harvard Law School later. Never a mention about how this was managed financially. Why?

Hamas Endorses Obama Obama OK with Jimmy Carter's Wreath laying for Yasser Arafat

From a Republican McCain for President source: ecampaign@gop.com

"Last Wednesday's Democratic debate (4/16/08) provided insight into Barack Obama's positions on key foreign policy issues. As president he says he would immediately withdraw our troops from Iraq- even if he were strongly advised against this by our nation's top military commanders.

He would also hold direct talks with the Iranian regime- a regime that does not recognize Israel and is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Iran's president has even called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

During the debate, Barack Obama once again refused to condemn former President Jimmy Carter- who publicly supports Obama- for holding talks with the Hamas terrorist group, a group supported financially, politically and militarily by Iran.

Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders. Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Hamas Prime Minister said, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election. He has a vision to change America."

We need change in America, but not the kind of change that wins kind words from Hamas, surrenders in Iraq and will hold unconditional talks with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. "

Obama: Just another arrogant Liberal without the polish of ....Hillary?

This article by John Fund (Wall ST. Journal) points out the many arrogant remarks by Barack Obama. I went to the library and got a copy of Obama's first autobiograhphical book, Dreams from my Father 1995 reissued in 2004.

He is not a bad writer. He was just as arrogant in 1995. I got the book after reading Ann Coulter's "review" of his book. So far she has been accurate in her assessment. And that assessment is DEADLY.

Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of Obama in any way.

As I read his book there is no explanation for how his family was able to afford to get him into the top private prep school in Hawaii, or the money to send him to a private College near Pasadena, CA. Or how they could afford to send him to Harvard Law school. He just skips over the details and spins an admittedly more interesting tale than I thought he would.

In the first 187 pages, (the large print edition was first available, so page 25 pages of regular size type? I keed, i keed) it's all about the odd relationship and manners of his father, orginally from Kenya. He was one of the first Africans to be given scholarhips by U.S. government to attend the U of Hawaii and he was brilliant and driven to succeed.

After graduation he just disappears from his wife and child. Obama has yet to explain anything more than that. Just skips ahead to 'now I am in NYC'. He talks about his white mother, after divorcing his Dad she marries another guy LoLo from Indonesia, then dumps him after having a sister for Obama to, so far ignore then she is off to travel the world...

His white grandparents raised him during upper grades and HS in Hawaii. You don't really have a clue about them as people, other than his Grandpa was (my opinion) a dreamer, a boozer, a failed man and his grandma comes across as the one solid earner and common sense person in the family.

Though now that she is safely dead, Obama tossed her under the bus with his "typical white woman" comment. I read on......

Is Iran about to get payback for all those road side bombs in Iraq

Israel and Syria both running military exercises last week and this. Dick Cheney makes a whirlwind tour of the Middle East. Condi Rice was there recently also.

Is it payback time for all those new more powerful and deadly road side bombs the Iranians have been supplying the Iraqis? Or, for shipping thousands of longer range missiles to Hamas? The article , in a granted, far right magazine suggests it may be ass kicking time in Tehran.

The Israelis hit a suspected Nuke preparation site in Syria a few months ago and they will not sit by and wait to me annihilated by their surrounding neighbors. AH-MA-DIN-AH-Jhad has announced over and over they will destroy Israel. ( I did a blog about this story on Sept 17,07)

The amount of statements by US representatives Military and civilian have been emphasizing the proof of Iran supply bombs, missiles and weapons to all enemies of Israel and the U.S. Will Israel continue to wait to be attacked or will they act? Will they act in coordination with U.S.?

A few hundred well placed smart bombs at Iran's bomb manufacturing sites and their Nuke labs? Then what?

Coulter: Dreams from my Father, Lame Excuses from my Grandfather

Hummada, Hummada! Ann Coulter strikes again. This time about his "typical white person" Grandmother who helped raise him. The muggers managing to get a Columbia U student killed Coulter mentions strikes home in Madison with a Co-ed being murdered last week by persons unknown. This story of Obama's Grandmother- the only one working in the household- getting aggressivly accosted for money at 0630 by a bum at her bus stop who was black teaches Obama a lesson.

A lesson few others would have concluded was the right lesson!

I may have to see if the Library has Obama's autobiography from which she is drawing these columns. (Also pls See April 2 blog below)

John Fund explains why "Loop hole Louie" lost the Supreme Court Election.The Wall St Jrnal 040508

Hoo-ray for John Fund of the Wall ST. Journal and this article in the 4/5/08 paper! (Wisconsin's Judicial Revolution)

After reading in the Wis. State Journal and soon to be defunct Cap. Times about how "stupid and uninformed" the voters of Wisconsin are for daring to elect a strict constitutional constructionist in Judge Gableman last Tuesday, Mr Fund's article was a breathe of fresh, fact filled and wonderfully truthful air.

The Liberal whining has been deafening in the letters to the editors as well as the editorials calling for "merit" selection of Supreme Court Judges - That "Merit" as defined by trial lawyers and Government appointed "experts" instead of elected by the "dumb voters"- that is anyone who is not a Liberal.

Mr Fund lays out the many examples of "Loophole Louie" trying to legislate new rights for criminals and going for the "deep pocket" paint companies even if you can't prove their product is at fault -pretty much the basis of our judicial system for the last 600 years in England and America.

Justice WAS served by bouncing this hack, Butler out of the Supreme Court.

Next up? Chief Justice Shirley Abramhamson. The trial lawyers, Indian Casino owners, Teacher and Government Unions are shaking down their members now to try to short circuit the voters in that election,

Bye Bye Shirley.....Enjoy your forced retirement!

The best man won. GABLEMAN will be the next Supreme Court Judge of Wisconsin

Judge Gableman at a meeting at Blackhawk Country Club in Madison on Veterans Day 07

Even though the Dane County Board of Supervisors remains solid LA La Land Left the good news is we have a new Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge who is a strict Constitutional follower. He has pledged NOT to legislate from the bench. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled that 236 years after becoming the USA a judge would have to run and win by simply stating the obvious.

Coulter: Obama's Dimestore 'Mein Kampf'

Ann Coulter's 4/2/08 Column , "Obama's Dimestore 'Mein Kampf' (My Struggle) is about OBAMA's book , Dreams of my Father. The quotes are quite revealing.

Is the book at the Library? I'll have to check. Can't see laying out cash for it after reading this 'review' His book title, Audacity of Hope he attributes to the Wrong Reverend Wright. Based on this limited exposure he should re-issue this early book as Nightmares from my Father!
