Michelle Malkin rightly expressed outrage over the ridiculous dress standards of the federal air marshals. More than a year later, it does seem that someone was listening: The armed undercover officers who protect U.S. airlines against attack no longer have to fear being overdressed. They’ve been told they can ditch their suits for outfits that [...]
Who knew… that creating a bidding war for leadership of the UN-led peacekeeping force in Lebanon would cause France and Italy to offer more troops?

One example is today, in which a WRAL-TV news article about the George Allen “macaca” controversy includes a headline (Bush Helping [...]
UPDATE: Video shows news crew alive, and asking for release. American reporter Steve Centanni, 60, of the San Francisco area, and Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand were grabbed from their TV van not far from the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City on Aug. 14. In the video, the men sat on the [...]
In a study to be published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, NASA-backed scientists today revealed the first direct proof of the so-called “dark matter” in the universe. Dark matter is a consequence of the observations of the universe and its rate of expansion. “Normal” matter, that makes us the visible universe only accounts for a small [...]
Another outrageous propaganda trick by Iranian backed Hezbollah is exposed by Andrew Bolt of the Herald-Sun in Australia. Hezbollah publishes a photo, claiming to be the destruction of an Israeli warship by rocket attack.
