ISIS is Islamic in the worst way possible
2/16/2015 10:01:15 AM  Jazz Shaw
18 Comments
The most confusing thing about ISIS, at least for me, has been the question of what exactly it is that they want and why they do the things they do. It seems completely self-defeating at times. It’s easy to define al Qaeda as evil and unite people

The topic of WMD in Iraq has been a hot potato for more than two decades, ever since the end of the first Gulf War and the procession of 17 UN Security Council resolutions demanding that Saddam Hussein verifiably destroy them. Hussein ignored those

First it was Jordan, and now Egypt and Libya. Following yesterday’s breaking news about the beheadings on the beach in Libya, Egypt moved forward in less than a day to launch airstrikes on ISIS targets. Egypt hit back Monday with airstrikes aimed

FAA issues initial drone rules and they don't look good

So what are we going to do about the drones? No… not the ones flying over ISIS and AQ encampments and blowing up the terrorists. Those are doing fine, thank you. But how about the ones that smart, wealthy kids are flying over your swimming pool?

Ukraine ceasefire "largely holding" so far… except where it's not

You may recall that when the upcoming ceasefire was announced between Ukraine and Russia last week I was somewhat skeptical to say the least. The motives for Putin in this international drama seemed fairly clear and the lack of an honest negotiating

The horror show into which the Middle East has transformed over the last four years continues — and expands. ISIS released a videotape today showing not one beheading of a hostage, but the simultaneous beheadings of 21 Christian hostages. The

Since we haven’t revisited this subject in a while, it’s time to see what the folks on the Marketplace Fairness Act front have been up to. This is a proposal which may or may not make it to a vote at this point, but if it does, Arizona is one

107 Comments
In the wake of the September 11th attacks, it soon became clichéd — even hackneyed — to declare one's refusal to be cowed by terrorism. "If you don't go out and buy a Big Mac today, the terrorists have won," the joke went. It was funny
