Shortly before South Africa accused Israel in the International Court of Justice of committing genocide in its post-Oct. 7 counteroffensive against Hamas, the South African ruling party, the African National Congress, suddenly resolved its longstanding and crippling debt issues. The court action in December – committing tens of millions of dollars to accuse a nation thousands of miles from South Africa’s borders – appeared less an act of probity than one of cynical collaboration with one of Israel’s fiercest enemies: Iran. Israel has forcefully denied the South African allegations, asserting that it is acting to defend itself and is “fighting...

memory hole reminder The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly steering John Kerry’s group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive, according to a researcher who spoke with WorldNetDaily.

<p>Somewhere in the more than $700 million stimulus bill just passed by both houses of Congress must be a reference to building more jails, if only as a means of increasing employment. If not, it should have been added as a “rider” when the bill was worked out between the two houses, because they are gonna need one.</p>

Something happened on May 22 that was reported in the Washington Post the next day that sums up the whole of my war against the leftist media in the U.S., including WaPo, the N.Y. Times and the Baltimore Sun, among other bird-cage liners. It is actually a very “telling” story on how the American mainstream media, especially that of the more-than-liberal, slightly less than Tass, Pravda, Peking Daily, Nham Dhan, and Granma bunch, can deliberately misreport, distort, “color” and coverup the news and usually get away with it.This column is meant to show what has been going on since I...

As most of you have read or seen by now, a journalist and NBC/MSNBC media consultant named William “Bill” Arkin has created quite a stir by viciously insulting American soldiers in Iraq. He wrote at his Washington Post blog, “Early Warning: William M. Arkin on National and Homeland Security” column (1/30/07), that “… this NBC (Nightly News) report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary - oops sorry, volunteer force that thinks it is doing the dirty work” re Iraq. The “report,” according to Arkin, featured “a number of soldiers (who) expressed frustration with...

In between hitting cops and and playing the race card, wacko Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., keeps busy with the left on a number of subjects. Just pulling her file is a full day's work, but it is worthwhile keeping track of her activities if only to prove that she is not only a racist leftist, but also one who support all types of radical causes, especially if they are anti-American, pro-Communist, anti-Israel and anti-death penalty. Never one to miss an opportunity to stick it to Israel, McKinney put a "Tribute to Rachel Corrie" in the "Extension of Remarks" in the...

On Feb. 20, The Augusta Free Press published my rant column, "The Betrayal of America," in which I took off on the American Left, especially the Communist Party and its sympathizers, foolish liberals, the mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and even the present Republican leadership of Congress and some in the White House. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry, but there will be other columns in which to catch up with the blithering idiots in our political and media systems. The purpose of the rant was to let out a lot of intellectual frustration that I've been holding in, as...

...On April 5, the House Energy and Commerce Committee held a series of hearings into the Internet and child pornography, focusing in on how child sexual predators use the Internet to find and meet their victims... The ranking Democrat on the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee that chaired these child-pornography hearings is Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), the six-time re-elected representative from the Upper/Lower Peninsula region of Michigan... Stupak, under the guise of criticizing DOJ leaders for not appearing before the subcommittee, was actually attacking the attorney general and his boss, President Bush. It was a cheap shot, and it backfired on Rep....

This column is a rant, not a soft, cuddly piece of fluff opinion. It is going to tell the truth like you have never heard it before. To quote Jack Nicholson from the movie "A Few Good Men" - "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth" - but I'm going to give it to you anyway. So, as your mother used to do to those of you readers who are old enough to remember, hold your nose and take your medicine, because the doctor is in, and he's operating with a chainsaw. After 35 years in the news/journalism...

As a longtime investigative researcher and journalist, I knew that politics could be down and dirty, but I didn't expect (despite premonitions thereof), that Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., would betray my son in the same manner that he had betrayed his fellow Swift Boat servicemen, and then all the American servicemen and women who served honorably in Vietnam so long ago. But I was wrong. I thought that he might have a little decency left in him, a decency that would spare the fighting men and women of Operation Iraqi Freedom from his demeaning smears and lies. Al Qaqaa, the...
