Yep, MSNBC’s Larry O’Donnell had another unhinged cable TV moment today. He’s been screaming on the airwaves for years. Joe Scarborough called the latest outburst on his show “psycho talk.” Been there, done that. Again and again and again. Remember this (transript here and non-apology apology here)? And this via Allahpundit circa 2007? First he [...]

Photoshop credit: Registered As I mentioned yesterday, my syndicated column today spotlights the abysmally lax visa issuance policies at Hillary Clinton’s State Department — a problem that festered before 9/11 under GOP and Democrat administrations alike and continues now (hello, James Riady). Take a look again at what the White House 6-page summary report says [...]

President Obama had his teleprompter tuned up this afternoon and apparently sipped a bit of Red Bull before taking another stab at making an I’m Really, Really Serious This Time statement about the UndyBomber case. Resolve does not come naturally in this White House. You can read the brief, 6-page “security review” released by the [...]

Last week, I spotlighted the dangerous catch-and-release jihadi programs at Yemen and Gitmo. The Times of London has a new report today on the bloody wages of jihadi recidivism: At least a dozen former Guantánamo Bay inmates have rejoined al-Qaeda to fight in Yemen, The Times has learnt, amid growing concern over the ability of [...]

My column today spotlights Yemen’s dangerous catch-and-release program for terrorists — and ours. But before you read it, please inform yourselves of this sad passing: American sailor/U.S.S. Cole bombing survivor Johan Gokool died in Florida yesterday. He lost a leg in the attack and suffered severe PTSD. Gokool was 31. R.I.P. and never forget. In [...]

Five days after the Christmas Day bomber tried to blow up NWA Flight 253 over Detroit, President Obama is still on vacation in Hawaii. He has delivered two hasty, tie-less statements on homeland security from a makeshift podium in Honolulu whose underwhelming sum impact has been the equivalent of voting “present” (Obama’s career m.o.) By [...]

Scroll for updates… President Obama is scheduled to make a public statement this afternoon on the Christmas Day jihadi attack at around 3pm Eastern. Sure bet: He won’t use the word “jihad.” Via AP: The White House says President Barack Obama is preparing to make his first public statement on the Christmas Day terrorist attack [...]

Jihadists never rest. And their m.o. has always been: Try, try again. Hello: The Associated Press has learned that a second Nigerian man has been taken into custody aboard a jetliner in Detroit after locking himself in the airliner’s bathroom. A law enforcement official tells the AP that the incident took place aboard the same [...]

Obama’s biggest joker.

The Independent of London has a piece up today on the wealthy, pampered lifestyle of would-be Christmas Day bomber Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab. The Nigerian elite enginnering student studied at one of Britain’s leading universities, “lived a gilded life” and “stayed in a £2m flat.” The Independent says Abdulmatallab’s privileged status is “surprising” — “a very [...]

He was supposed to be near death…four months ago. Yesterday, he “disappeared” from his home and hospital, via the Times of London: Mystery surrounded the Lockerbie bomber last night after he could not be reached at his home or in hospital. Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and [...]

There are no (non-profane) words for this, via CBS2 Chicago (h/t Andy McCarthy): The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants the grant withdrawn. The money would be divided between two foundations run by the family of Libyan [...]

How Obama cronyism threatens rail security by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2009 New Delhi. Mumbai. Chechnya. Madrid. London. The question isn’t whether America will suffer a jihadi attack on our passenger rail lines, but when. So, why has President Obama neutered the nation’s most highly-trained post-9/11 counterterrorism rail security team? All signs point to [...]

It started long before September 11. It started long before W. Never forget: Memorial stone at Lockerbie, Scotland Arlington National Cemetery The Lockerbie Cairn, through its 270 blocks of red Scottish sandstone, memorializes the 270 lives lost in the terrorist attack on the United States when Pan Am flight 103 was bombed Dec. 21, 1988, [...]

LAX bomb plotter Ahmed Ressam reneged on his deal with the feds and continues to play games with prosecutors. They requested that a federal judge double his sentence for terrorism-related convictions. The judge (more on him in a moment) refused: Ahmed Ressam was resentenced this morning to 22 years in federal prison for conspiring to [...]

Remember the Cole.

As cold Earth-wanderers never knew.
Plus: British terrorists target the Queen.

Friday, Gordon Chang wrote in the New York Sun that terrorist attacks on the Olympics were almost inevitable. This morning, it looks like he has a point. ___________________ {Post by See-Dubya}

Treachery. Plus extra bonus treachery from British citizens.

Justice Denied.
