By the time of this writing (Feb. 22nd), several RINO Senators – Mike Johanns and Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, John McCain-Feingold of Arizona, Lindsey Gramnesty of South Carolina, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, intend to vote for cloture (i.e. breaking the filibuster) on [...]

Why deep defense cuts MUST be avoided at all costs

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 22, 2013 in Money, National Defense and Military, Politics, Support the Troops

I could just as well title this article “why defense must always be fully funded” or “why America must always maintain a strong, second-to-none defense”, but all three titles effectively mean the same thing, so I have chosen the above one. We are being told from all directions by various kinds of people – from [...]

Why Chuck Hagel’s nomination MUST be stopped

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 21, 2013 in National Defense and Military, Politics, Support Israel, Support the Troops

Last week, the Senate failed to confirm Chuck Hagel for Secretary of State, but for the wrong reasons: because some Republican senators, such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have demanded more information on last year’s terrorist attack on Benghazi and are holding up Hagel’s nomination until they get that information. Sen. John Cornyn, for [...]

Drone Controllers Eligible for Military Honor

By Teresa Wendt on Feb 19, 2013 in In The News, National Defense and Military, Support the Troops

The military has an amazing number of awards that can be received by those who serve bravely. This month retiring Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced a new medal. The medal will be awarded for specific acts, like the successful targeting of a specific individual at a critical time. It is the first new force-wide medal [...]

Sequestration, nuclear disarmament prove that Washington has learned nothing

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 19, 2013 in exposing Obama, Money, National Defense and Military, Obarrassments, Politics, Support the Troops

As the sequestration of the defense budget – coming on top of all defense cuts previously administered or ordered – approaches, and as Obama prepares to unilaterally cut the US nuclear deterrent again, this time down to just 1,000 deployed warheads – leftists (including leftist libertarians) are again telling us that we have nothing to [...]

Rebuttal of de Rugy’s and Winslow Wheeler’s blatant lies about defense spending

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 18, 2013 in Money, National Defense and Military, Politics, Support the Troops

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act. – George Orwell Anti-defense organizations such as POGO and the CDI (both of whom employ professional blowhard and liar Winslow Wheeler) routinely and falsely claim that the US spends almost $1 trillion per year on “defense” or the military. Late last year, [...]

Now Soliciting Bids for the G.I. Jane Combat Hall of Fame

By Michael R Shannon on Feb 13, 2013 in Blogs, Humor/Satire, Michael Shannon, National Defense and Military, Politics, Traditional Values

It was a coincidence ripe with irony. On the same day the main section of the Washington Post was trumpeting Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta’s decision to allow women in combat, the sports section was featuring an analysis of the “epidemic” of torn knee ligaments in women’s basketball and soccer. Reporter Preston Williams wrote: “Young [...]

Rebuttal of Obama’s SOTU lies about nuclear weapons, Part II

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 13, 2013 in National Defense and Military, Politics, Support the Troops

As I predicted, last night, in his SOTU speech, Obama called for deep further cuts in America’s already excessively-cut nuclear deterrent, down to just 1,000-1,100 warheads according to the NYTimes. To justify his indefensible plan, Obama invoked a very fallacious argument, cynically using North Korea’s Monday nuclear test as a justification for gutting AMerica’s nuclear [...]

Rebuttal of Rand Paul’s blatant lies about defense spending

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 13, 2013 in Money, National Defense and Military, Politics, Support the Troops

Last night, in his response to President Obama’s SOTU speech, Rand Paul, as usual, directed most of his arrows not at Obama and the Democrats, but at his own party and its conservative supporters, and while so doing, he recited his standard litany of blatant lies about defense issues. He falsely claimed that defense spending [...]

Rebuttal of Obama’s SOTU lies about America’s nuclear deterrent

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 12, 2013 in exposing Obama, Money, National Defense and Military, Obarrassments, Politics, Support the Troops

When he delivers the SOTU tonight, Obama will likely mention his plan to deeply cut (read: dramatically weaken) further America’s already excessively cut nuclear deterrent at a time when Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, and India are all growing and modernizing nuclear arsenals, and just a day after North Korea tested a nuclear weapon – [...]

Fort Hood Heroine: Obama Betrayed Us

By Teresa Wendt on Feb 12, 2013 in In The News, National Defense and Military, Politics, Support the Troops

Tonight on ABC World News Diane Sawyer will interview Fort Hood heroine Sgt. Kimberly Munley. New (and possibly disturbing) footage of the tragedy that killed 13, including a pregnant soldier and wounded 32 others will be shown. In 2010, the White House arranged for the Fort Hood sergeant and her partner, who managed to stop [...]

NoKo nuclear test: Proof of the utter failure of arms control policies

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 12, 2013 in exposing Obama, Featured Posts, National Defense and Military, Obarrassments, Politics, Support the Troops

Yesterday’s North Korean nuclear test – the third in just 7 years – which North Korea threatens to follow up with a test of its new road-mobile KN-08 ICBM – is yet more proof of the discreditation and utter failure of arms control, including but not exclusively the arms control policies which the Obama Administration [...]

Medal of Honor Recipient to Skip SOTU

By Teresa Wendt on Feb 12, 2013 in *Participate*, National Defense and Military, Support the Troops

Army Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesh, only the fourth living person to be awarded the Medal of Honor, has chosen not to politicize his life and actions. Instead of attending the State of the Union address as Mrs. Obama’s guest he will stay home and visit with friends. “I’ve done some soul searching,” he said. “As [...]

Rebuttal of Des Browne’s and Ian Kearns’s blatant lies

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 11, 2013 in Money, National Defense and Military, Support the Troops

On February 5th, the Daily Telegraph – normally considered a conservative newspaper – published a litany of blatant lies written by two former Labour (read: socialist) government officials, Des Browne, Britain’s former Defence Secretary under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and Ian Kearns, a former Chief Permanent Secretary of the Treasury. Their screed rails against [...]
