Kate at Small Dead Animals reminds us of Oriana Fallaci’s searing essay from December 2002–which deserves to be reprinted far and wide (update: I’ve added hyperlinks for reference/background). I find it shameful that in Italy there should be a procession of individuals dressed as suicide bombers who spew vile abuse at Israel, hold up photographs [...]

Via the Washington Times (hat tip: reader John C.): Rare is the occasion when a Navy SEAL needs help from his fellow Americans. Perhaps even rarer is the day an ordinary American can help a Navy SEAL. But Justin, 27, whose last name is not being disclosed at the request of the Defense Department, is [...]

The Mexica Movement, radical ethnic separatists who believe the Southwest belongs to them, our borders should not be recognized, and who display signs like these at illegal alien rallies… ….are now protesting Disney as racial “supremacists.” WND has the story. How do you say chutzpah in Spanish?

YNetNews has the lowdown: Shortly after 8:30 p.m. Friday night, it was reported that the stern of an Israeli navy war ship suffered a direct hit in an attack by Hizbullah, which damaged the helicopter landing pad area. The hit caused a conflagration, which was extinguished. No one was hurt in the fire. Shortly afterwards, [...]

Mocking 9/11 victims again, according to a documentarian’s report: On the July 4th weekend at Baltimore’s Mid-Atlantic Radical Book Fair, University of Colorado-Boulder’s Professor of Ethnic Studies, Ward Churchill, spoke to a semi-filled theater of left-wing activists from around the country. Walking Eagle Productions, a documentary film company focusing on free speech, academic freedom, and [...]

Getting word that the UN Security Council is meeting now to consider a “presidential statement” on the situation in Lebanon. I’m printing Ambassador John Bolton’s full statement to the UNSC’s Special Public Session on Lebanon below the jump:

Blogging was lighter than usual yesterday because I joined Cindy Sheehan’s “hunger strike” yesterday. Didn’t feel so good last night after my “solidarity fast.” Watch how I coped.

They won’t go away: ABP takes a closer look at the Wilson/Plame legal defend fund scam and adds: One thing I really hope they do is publish the list of donors. I really want to see the people out there that are more stupid than the Wilsons. Alexandra at All Things Beautiful puts the duo [...]

Via Drudge comes this report that a CBS News local station in Minneapolis confiscated the pen of a local blogger covering Katie Couric’s Meet The Little People tour: Katie Couric’s series of focus-group meetings with community groups across the country — without the presence of the news media — ran into a snag in Minneapolis [...]

Ditto to Allah’s reaction to Time magazine’s new piece by lefty blogger Joshua Micah Marshall: This makes three bloggers writing for Time now: Marshall, Wonkette, and of course St. Andrew. St. Andrew being the “conservative.” Remember when WaPo hired Ben Domenech and the left wet its pants for days over the fact that they hadn’t [...]

Reality-checking Time magazine: *** Previous: The Burka is Our Friend

Kathyrn Lopez reports on Harry Reid killing an amendment to help stop catch and release of illegal aliens. Talk about Stuck On Stupid.

“Bitches and hos.” Progressive?

***scroll for updates*** Escalation: Israeli aircraft attacked Beirut airport and killed 22 civilians in strikes on south Lebanon on Thursday, dramatically widening its reprisals after Hizbollah captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight.

…to his delusions. *** Flashback:

It’s always must-listen. Today they interviewed John McCain. He’s right on pork. Wrong on immigration and much else. But listen to the whole thing. Glenn asks if McCain has any words for bloggers: Keep up the good work. Don’t get too angry. Don’t get too personal.I pay attention to the criticism as well as the [...]

We connect the dots.

Val Prieto at Babalu Blog has started it. Fausta says Hugo Chavez doth protest too much.

Leaks. NRO to Bush: Stop them!

Well, yes, that’s exactly what it is: The Hezbollah militant group captured two Israeli soldiers during clashes along the Lebanese border on Wednesday, triggering an Israeli assault with warplanes, tanks and gunboats as Israeli troops crossed the frontier to hunt for the captives. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the guerrilla attack “an act of [...]

One of the visa programs I singled out in Invasion in 2002 as ripe for exploitation by terrorists and in need of immediate reform was the religious worker visa program. Or as I like to call it: The “Radical Muslim Cleric Importation Plan.” Now comes word via Newsbeat1 that the Department of Homeland Security is [...]

The Asian American Journalists Association meets next met last month in Hawaii to applaud itself for promoting “diversity.” Right. Let’s see a poll of how many of the group’s members are pro-life, voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, support strict enforcement of our immigration laws, and prefer Fox News to CNN. Diversity, [...]

Some action is reportedly coming down the pike: The Bush administration is preparing a crackdown on intelligence leaks to the media and will try to pursue prosecutions in some recent cases, the chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday. Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Hoekstra also suggested some unauthorized leaks could have been [...]

Funny how the Wall Street Journal editorial writers have no problem smearing immigration enforcement advocates as “nativists” while Karl Rove holds hands with the National Council of The Race. I promise you more on this subject tomorrow. *** Human Events advises Rove on what he should say to The Race this afternoon. We can dream. [...]

That’s what you’ll learn if you take Kevin Barrett’s introductory class on Islam at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The school decided yesterday he can teach the class: Barrett said he was “very pleased” by the decision. He said students in his fall course, “Islam: Religion and Culture,” would spend one week studying a variety of [...]

Remember Cindy Sheehan’s “hunger strike?” Remember I asked whether she would last longer than Saddam Hussein? Well… Kristinn Taylor at F/R points to Cindy’s latest blog entry on her, uh, progress (also posted at the Crawford Peace House site): I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was [...]
