Hope for the best, plan for the wurst

The death toll has risen to a staggering 90-plus in the Norway massacre. It is evil in its most unfathomable depths. There are now reports of a possible second gunman/accomplice, according to CBS News and VOA. Howie at the Jawa Report says it well: “As a Christian I have to say I condemn his actions [...]

New Dehli 2005. Mumbai 2006. Mumbai 2008. And now, more bloody horror for India again: Three near-simultaneous explosions have shaken India’s commercial capital Mumbai (Bombay), police say. The Indian home secretary said two people had been killed and more than 100 wounded. One explosion was reported in the Zaveri Bazaar, another in the Opera House [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Meanwhile, while much of the nation was distracted by Weiner, climate change and Sarah Palin’s emails… ABC News: Police detained a man near the Sept. 11 memorial at the Pentagon this morning after he was reportedly found carrying a suspicious device and pro-al Qaeda literature, officials said. The man appears to [...]

We’re back to square one on Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and his murderous band of jihadists at Gitmo. Sgt. Tim Sumner of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America reports that the Office of Military Commissions has notified 9/11 families this evening that charges will be re-sworn Tuesday. Thank jihad-coddling Attorney General Eric Holder and [...]

Adnan Shukrijumah has been a fugitive since 9/11, was rumored to have crossed the Mexican border, and was indicted last year in the NYC/Zazi bombing plot. Pakistan may be harboring him, as noted earlier this week. And there is also — of all places — a Shukrijumah tie to Trinidad and Guyana. An Al Qaeda [...]

Lots of photojournalism headlines today. While the White House capitulated on the OBL death photos, Reuters was apparently willing to fork over money for pictures of bodies at the bin Laden compound other than bin Laden. The story and photos are here. Question: Who did Reuters pay? The camera man was reportedly a “Pakistani security [...]

Islamic Rage Boy, 1. Obama, 0.

My latest syndicated column was inspired by Five for Fighting singer/songwriter John Ondrasik’s tweet this morning suggesting that President Obama invite former President Bush to join him at Ground Zero on Thursday. Late tonight, word spread that just such an invitation was reportedly extended. Unfortunately, Bush has apparently declined. Given how Paul Ryan was treated [...]

Since 9/11, homeland/national security officials have been on the hunt for Adnan Shukrijumah. He was most recently tied to the NYC 2010 bombing plot involving convicted Colorado jihadi Najibullah Zazi and I’ve been keeping track of his various alleged sightings for nearly 10 years now. Refresher: Adnan Shukrijumah. Does the name ring a bell? It [...]

Looks like the White House may release at least one photo of dead bin Laden and perhaps more pics and video of the raid. Take everything bungling deputy national security adviser John Brennan says with a grain of salt, of course — but here are the latest details via ABC News: “We are looking at [...]

TSA follies: See SPOT fail by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 Air traffic controllers have been catching a lot of grief for sleeping on the job lately. But do you know what Transportation Security Administration officials have been doing — or rather, not doing — lately? A federal watchdog revealed this week that TSA’s [...]

**Written by Doug Powers With a presidential election less than two years away, we’ve almost certainly seen the first and last of the idiotic civil trials for “man caused disaster suspects” for a while, thanks to this close shave: NEW YORK (AP) – The first Guantanamo detainee to face a civilian trial was acquitted Wednesday [...]

Photoshop credit: Another Black Conservative Readers know I’ve been one of DHS Secretary Janet Clownitano’s most vocal critics — dating back to 2006, when she supported a disgraceful 9/11 memorial in Arizona poisoned by left-wing radicalism, through 2008, when the shamnesty wolf in enforcement clothing was tapped by Obama to head DHS, and, of course, [...]

Scroll for updates… Looks like there has been a coordinated attack on UPS planes worldwide today. Reports are breaking on a Yemen-Chicago plane stopped in London with a bomb on board. Planes also pulled over in Newark and Philadelphia. Wild guess: It wasn’t planned by a Catholic or Mormon network. (Sarcasm off.) Which MSNBC host [...]

The wall-to-wall campaign coverage has distracted me from noting several terrifying shootings in the Beltway area — all targeting the military and specifically, the Marines. The shooter is apparently on the loose with a high-powered rifle. Earlier in the week, there were three incidents: he FBI said on Thursday that it has linked a shooting [...]

The usual suspects at work: CAIR, Think Progress, HuffPo…

So Canada is “annoyed” with Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle because she pointed out that our northern neighbor’s lax immigration policies endanger America? Touchy, touchy. The Canadian government doth protest too much: Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. has called on Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle to take back her claim that terrorists have come [...]

Some of us still remember. Last November, I noted that the unborn child of Fort Hood soldier Francheska Velez was the 14th murder victim of jihadist Nidal Hasan. At Hasan’s Article 32 trial yesterday, a witness testified about Velez’s searing last words before succumbing to gunshot wounds during the attack: A pregnant soldier shot during [...]

Scroll for updates…4:56pm Eastern…the White House finally releases statement… Did you remember? Before 9/11, there was 10/12. The USS Cole bombing, ten years ago today, should have taught us all that the jihadists’ war on the infidel West started a long, long time ago. Remember: The flame of Muslim outrage is eternal. Never forget: The [...]

“Lookin’ like a fool witcha bombs on the ground”

Here is what Team Obama’s “smart” and sensitive form of diplomacy has wrought: A hero’s welcome home to Libya for the murderous Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was released last August claiming he had terminal cancer and three months to live. A year later, the jihadist is still alive, senators want an investigation, and [...]

Is it hot in here or is she crazy?

Scroll for updates… Twitter picture stream from Moscow at PicFog. They’re at it again. Early Monday morning in Russia, two female killers strapped themselves with bombs and attacked rail stations in Moscow. Scores are reported dead; more than 70 injured. “Terrorism is suspected,” duh: Two female homicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow’s subway system [...]

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) continues his desperate attempt to paint opponents of Obamacare as racists pining for a return to the Jim Crow era (unbeknownst to Clyburn, the only thing being forced to the back of the bus is the Constitution), but now he’s added terrorism to his vast repertoire of accusations: Terrorism? Don’t you [...]

Did you remember? It has now been 17 years since the first World Trade Center bombing.

Most of the victims [...]
