This is the dramatic moment a TV reporter was shot by a sniper as she reported live from war-torn Georgia. Tamara Urushadze took a bullet to her left arm in the flashpoint town of Gori as Russian forces continued their illegal occupation. Bravely, or foolishly, the 32-year-old brunette continued her report after a few moments as other journalists and aid workers dashed for cover More>>>
The stench of 'Black Theology'

That which many Obama supporters do not even know is what this columnist and a few others have attempted to bring to bring to their awareness (and for which we have been viciously excoriated): the depth of this candidate's aforementioned Marxist roots. One cannot be a "patriotic American" and embrace the foul creed espoused by Cone or anyone else – period. Those who do so and claim that their "religion" is Christianity are simply deluded, or they're engaging in deceit.

As Iraq stabilizes and our role there is reduced, there will continue to be a major debate within the United States as to how we deal with this increasingly dangerous world of new threats as well as old ones. Our military is stretched thin and worn down and it is clear to anyone who takes the time to study the matter that we cannot get by with the expenditure of 4% of our GDP on our military. The threats to our country are going to require a much more dedicated response. To what extent should we fill the role that we have filled pretty much since the end of World War II as the No. 1 friend of democracy and provider of stability in the world? How much in the way of resources are we going to be willing to devote to this endeavor? More>>>

On April 14, 2004, in Iraq near the Syrian border, the corporal used his helmet and his body to smother an exploding Mills Bomb let loose by a raging insurgent whom Dunham and two other Marines tried to subdue. The explosion daz More..ed and wounded Lance Cpl. William Hampton and Pfc. Kelly Miller. The insurgent stood up after the blast and was immediately killed by Marine small-arms fire. After the grenade exploded under Dunham's helmet, he lay face down with a few tiny pieces of shrapnel lodged in his head. The hard, molded mesh that was his Kevlar helmet was now scattered yards around into clods and shredded fabric. Dunham never regained consciousness and died eight days later at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., with his mother and father at his bedside. He was 22 More>>>

European and those of European decent are literally being taxed into extinction. The AP comes out with this nice, fluffy article (below) saying whites will no longer be the majority in ~30 years. Why? What it comes down to is they primarily pay the taxes and minorities primarily reap the benefits and thus can afford to have children. More>>>

The received wisdom is that President Bush has been a foreign policy disaster, and that America is threatened by the rise of Asia. Both claims are wrong—Bush has successfully rolled back jihadism, and the US will benefit from Asian growth. More>>>

Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Wednesday floated the prospect of picking a running mate who supports abortion rights and cited former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge as someone worth considering. “I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party,” McCain said in an interview with The Weekly Standard.

U.S. to deliver 'humanitarian aid' to Georgia

President Bush on Wednesday announced he will send U.S. military forces into the small Caucasus nation of Georgia to deliver "humanitarian aid," a move clearly intended to bolster the Western-leaning nation after an invasion by the Russian army. Mr. Bush, in a statement to reporters at the White House, also announced that he is sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on a trip to France and then to Georgia, on a mission to "rally the free world at the defense of a free Georgia."

Obama's Foreign Donors: The media averts its eyes

I have been researching, documenting and studying thousands upon thousands of Obama's campaign donations for the past month. Egregious abuse was immediately evident and I published the results of my ongoing investigation. Each subsequent post built a more damning case against Obama's illegal contribution activity. The media took little notice...''Palestinian'' brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama's campaign More>>>
'Where You From?'

''Where you from?'' An illegal alien from Mexico, Pedro Espinoza, allegedly asked that of Jamiel Shaw Jr., 17 -- before Espinoza shot and killed him...The common factor in these killings, as with so many others: The alleged killers came to the country illegally. Federal officials estimate that 40,000 of the 170,000 inmates held in Los Angeles County jails each year are illegal immigrants. More>>>
Politico: Kerry vs. Corsi

John Kerry is launching a website, Truth Fights Back, to defend Obama and other Democratic candidates against attacks. The site, paid for by his leadership PAC, goes after the "80 lies" in a new book by Jerome Corsi, whose 2004 attack on Kerry's military record helped sink the Democrat's campaign, but whose Obama book seems likely to remain on the margins this year (actually, it's Number one on the NY Times Best Seller list for nonfiction -Roland)...The site's focus isn't so much on debunking as on "tracking" the attacks, and promises to watch their spread in real time.

NYT's Brooks: Harmony and the Dream

You can create a global continuum with the most individualistic societies — like the United States or Britain — on one end, and the most collectivist societies — like China or Japan — on the other....The individualistic countries tend to put rights and privacy first. People in these societies tend to overvalue their own skills and overestimate their own importance to any group effort. People in collective societies tend to value harmony and duty. They tend to underestimate their own skills and are more self-effacing when describing their contributions to group efforts. Either way, individualistic societies have tended to do better economically...But what happens if collectivist societies snap out of their economic stagnation? What happens if collectivist societies, especially those in Asia, rise economically and come to rival the West? A new sort of global conversation develops...The opening ceremony in Beijing was a statement in that conversation. It was part of China’s assertion that development doesn’t come only through Western, liberal means, but also through Eastern and collective ones. If Asia’s success reopens the debate between individualism and collectivism (which seemed closed after the cold war), then it’s unlikely that the forces of individualism will sweep the field or even gain an edge. The rise of China isn’t only an economic event. It’s a cultural one. The ideal of a harmonious collective may turn out to be as attractive as the ideal of the American Dream.

The Pentagon this week delayed and may kill the Air Force's nascent Cyberspace Command, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press. This comes as Russia used a major computer network attack to begin its assault on Georgia. The service's Cyberspace Command is meant to coordinate computer network defense and, more controversially, offensive attacks on enemy networks. More>>>
