The diminished credibility of the Dept. of Homeland Insecurity

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 2, 2007 08:58 AM

Update: Chertoff plays down report of imminent al Qaeda attack. Plays up shortage of lettuce pickers. And here’s more Chertoff finger-wagging.
***
Actions have consequences. One of the negative consequences of the Department of Homeland Security’s push for shamnesty is its shrinking credibility. From the dog-and-pony show raids before shamnesty hit the Senate floor to the smearing [...]

He says, “Get real.” We say: Get a clue.

Related: Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Chertoff earlier this week.
If Chertoff makes the Sunday rounds, will someone please ask him about his smearing of immigration enforcement proponents and expressed contempt for grass-roots conservatives. Please?

Attention, Michael Chertoff: Get to the bottom of this screw-up

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 23, 2007 09:01 PM

This is Manuel Flores. He is an illegal alien fugitive from the law. He is accused of raping and sodomizing his girlfriend’s nine-year-old daughter.
Nine-year-old daughter.
Manuel Flores is free, reportedly headed back to Mexico, because federal immigration officials screwed up, according to a local Denver report. I linked to this story earlier today, but it [...]

Berger and a side order of lies

Condi goes to Syria?!

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 3, 2007 06:59 AM

Fer cryin’ out loud. Will she pull a Pelosi and put on a hijab, too?
Just a reminder of what Vice President Cheney said a few weeks ago about Pelosi’s meeting with Syrian president Assad:
This is an evil man. He’s a prime state sponsor of terror…So for the speaker to go to Damascus and meet with [...]

The D.C. madam and the scandal-hungry MSM strike

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 28, 2007 11:38 AM

Well, here’s the first name in the “D.C. madam” probe that has Washington in tizzy:
Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias.
Make that former Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias.
Here’s the State Department statement:
Ambassador Randall Tobias informed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice today that he must step down as Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and [...]

How the Sleestaks hoaxed the moonbats

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 6, 2007 11:50 AM

For a hearty lunchtime chuckle: Check out my interview with Ron Ott of Coptix, one of the masterminds behind the April Fools’ joke that caused a Rove Derangement Syndrome feeding frenzy.

April Fools!

A rant by Cindy Sheehan, posted by defeatist David Swanson on his website advocating the impeachment of President Bush:
More Reich-Wing Horse Pucky
The Gathering of Eagles is supposedly a veterans’ ad hoc group who are allowing themselves to be despicably stage-managed by Rove and Move America Forward using fascist tactics to lie about an anti-war group, [...]

The verdict against Kareem is in: three years in prison for insulting Islam and inciting sedition and another year for insulting Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Kareem will appeal. Help him. President Bush? Condi Rice? Promoters of democracy in the Middle East? Hello? Hello?

Edwards’ blogger resigns

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 12, 2007 08:42 PM

“Blogmaster” Amanda Marcotte has resigned from the Edwards’ campaign (the site is currently down). Of course, it’s all the right wing’s and Catholic activists’ fault (a blame-avoidance strategy I highlighted on The O’Reilly Factor tonight before news of Marcotte’s resignation broke). Writes Marcotte this evening:
I was hired by the Edwards campaign for the skills and [...]

Moonbat couture

I clicked through to the story linked on Drudge about the Hillary skirt featured on the runway in Rome. The designer is Gattinoni. In addition to Hillary, the other women featured are French presidential wannabe Segolene Royal, the British great-grandmother wannabe Queen Elizabeth and the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Hillary, Royal, and the [...]

Putting Sandy Berger to the test

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 23, 2007 12:50 AM

A lie detector test.
As the FNC story points out, the document-filching Clinton aide did agree to take a polygraph test as part of a plea deal reached in September 2005. Now, some GOP lawmakers want to know why the Justice Department won’t follow through:
The Justice Department should administer a polygraph test to former National Security [...]

Disgraceful v. Graceful

By See-Dubya  •  January 13, 2007 02:19 PM

Remember the new Congressman from Wisconsin who took great pride in the fact that he greeted Laura Bush in Green Bay and deliberately called her “Barbara”? (oooooooh, BURN!)
White House official says no, that didn’t happen. Now Congressman Kagen has climbed down a bit.
Now that Kagen’s longer story about his White House visit is [...]

Zombie catches moonbattery erupting in spontaneous tinfoil hattery

By See-Dubya  •  January 9, 2007 01:50 AM

And now, another PSA from See-Dubya:
Tinfoil-hat syndrome can affect earnest, sincere lefties anywhere, at any time. Wherever progressives gather, whether in a hotel lobby in Vegas, or now at a protest on a beach near San Francisco, you never know when the spontaneous, irresistible urge to swaddle one’s noggin in tinfoil will strike.
Won’t you [...]

Photoshop: Shieldsnet
Under a trailer. Oh, my:
Former national security adviser Sandy Berger removed classified documents from the National Archives in 2003 and hid them under a construction trailer, the Archives inspector general reported Wednesday.

The State Department strikes again

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 21, 2006 12:42 PM

Remember this Arabic-speaking State Department clown, Albert Fernandez, who went on al Jazeera TV and trashed the U.S. as arrogant and stupid?
Well, speaking of arrogant and stupid, guess what? Charles Johnson notes that the State Department has decided to give Fernandez an award. Via Brit Hume’s Grapevine last week on Fox News:
Fernandez was selected [...]

Iran’s November surprise

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 2, 2006 07:50 PM

A macho show of firepower:
Iran test-fired dozens of missiles, including the Shahab-3 that can reach Israel, in military maneuvers Thursday that it said were aimed at putting a stop to the role of world powers in the Persian Gulf region.
The show of strength came three days after U.S.-led warships finished naval exercises in the [...]

The difference between D’s and R’s

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 25, 2006 01:36 PM

Don’t measure your drapes yet, lady
A few weeks ago, while blogging on the road (always a somewhat risky thing to do), I glibly mentioned the possibility of sitting at home for the midterms over heated disagreement with the Bush administration on immigration. Many grass-roots conservatives have grievances with how the White House has handled a [...]

Meet Alberto Fernandez: State Dept. apologist for jihad
Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the US State Department, is al Jazeera’s favorite pet tool. He has been praised as “sassy” and is a fixture on Arab TV. From a Newsweek profile published in August, which proclaimed him “the [...]

They still want to kill Abdul Rahman

Christian convert Abdul Rahman: Still a marked man
Remember Abdul Rahman, the Christian convert who fled Afghanistan and found safety in Italy after Muslim mobs demanded he be killed for abandoning Islam?
Well, while the rest of the world has forgotten about Rahman, the sharia-embracers and Koran-thumpers who believe all apostates should be murdered have not forgotten [...]

From the nutroots in full-blown Rove Derangement Syndrome mode…

To the top of the Democratic Party…

…the protests against ABC’s 9/11 docu-drama, “Path to 9/11,” have become completely unhinged.
