THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

  Now we know their problem. They’re blinded by all the “snow”, obviously. UPDATE:  Make that thirty-five pounds of cocaine, in hollowed-out text books, found in bags in the UN mail room.

Incredibly, more than three months after at least one American combat soldier died unnecessarily and two months after the issue was first raised on the Net, wounded American troops in Afghanistan still are waiting longer than necessary for Medevac helicopters to arrive. Because the Medevacs wear red crosses and, therefore, under Army policy cannot carry defensive [...]

Or so says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, because, despite the war drums getting louder and louder…. “What can Iran do with a nuclear weapon?” he asked rhetorically. “For example, will they hit Israel? How many Palestinians will die? And you think if Iran hits [...]

We’re about to find out just how far the vacationer-in-chief will take his Leftist, pro-Muslim politics, now that urban, supposedly-sophisticated Egyptians have voted in the radical Islamists. As Spengler puts it, Egypt is becoming a banana republic without the bananas. One that, indeed, cannot even feed itself. And it would be, as he adds here, [...]

Nice to see there’s yet another computer virus/worm/trojan attacking Iran’s nuclear bomb-making computers. Duqu, which was acknowledged just a day after a blast at an Iranian missile site killed 17 and wounded many more, apparently is an offspring of Stuxnet, which earlier delayed things: “Duqu appeared to be designed to gather data to make it [...]

A bit of Veterans Day insight, just one day late. Sorry about that: I would not especially care to see the return of the Draft, which caught me just days after my college graduation in 1967 and sent me to war in 1969-70 and home again to job discrimination and psychological abuse. The draft was [...]

The imagined population bomb of the past quarter-century explodes, peopling the planet with far more mouths than it can feed and increasing carbon footprints until they plaster every available surface, the resulting global warming raising sea levels, burning up crops, etc. That’s the Green fantasy, which pols like because it allows them to tax and [...]

Messy? You bet. Otherwise, however, we have as Lee Smith wrote last week in Tablet, become Iran’s ally in its drive to create a nuclear weapon. And Obamalot’s recent decision to withdraw our troops from Iraq, only adds to the problem. “It was misguided to turn American soldiers into potential hostages to Iranian terror. It’s [...]

Charming creature, this Occupy Wall Street protestor, author of the above anti-Semitic remark, who is actually doing her protest thing in Los Angeles. Where she works for, ahem, the local school district. Figures. Meanwhile, in NYC, which is always reliably malcontent, their most famous black anti-Semite and demagogue is encouraging mob violence to get what [...]

The death of an American soldier due to our Medevac policy: “Specialist Chazray Clark was dying due to politics, and the Army and Air Force pilots are very angry about this.  Chazray’s is not the only such case…It is important to be absolutely clear–this is not about the Dustoff pilots and crews, who are incredibly [...]
