What to do about Iran’s second nuclear plant?

The revelation of another uranium enrichment facility by Iran should not shock anyone. The question to be asked to world leaders is, What will we do about it, especially when Britain, France, and the U.S. have known about it for years. But why did Iran choose to reveal this plant to the IAEA now? Iran [...]

Government health care: Deliver the baby elsewhere, please

In the U.K., thousands of babies are delivered outside of maternity wards thanks to the management of National Health Services. Mothers have had to deliver their babies in a car, in a hallway, in the bathroom, or in their office, because the hospitals are out of beds. This is a first world country we are [...]

Releasing Lockerbie bomber: stupidity, not compassion

Well done, Scotland. You have utterly failed to show the world humanism and compassion; instead, you’ve shamed your people and demonstrated to the world of your foolishness and stupidity. By setting free Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi for him to return to his homeland, Libya, because of his terminal cancer, you sent home an unrepentant [...]

British Iraq War vet pulls out own teeth thanks to U.K. health care

I cannot believe this is how war veterans are treated across the pond: A former soldier pulled his own teeth out with a pair of pliers because he could not find a dentist to take on NHS patients. Iraq War veteran Ian Boynton could not afford to go private for treatment so instead took the [...]

Island paradises are the new Gitmo

An obscure Pacific island nation, Palau, and popular tourist destination, Bermuda, are now receiving former Gitmo detainees. Residents of Palau aren’t too happy about it, and neither is Downing Street as Britain provides for Bermuda’s defense and foreign affairs and wasn’t consulted about the detainee transfer. Why would Palau and Bermuda accept unwanted terror suspects [...]

U.K. government meltdown

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is having a very rough term. First, President Obama didn’t give him the well-deserved attention when he came to visit (and received DVDs as gifts which can’t be played in Britain). Then an investigation by the Telegraph revealed how members of parliament and cabinet officials exploited allowances to fund their lifestyles. [...]

U.K. Home Office Secretary expensed husband’s X-rated movies?!

British P.M. Gordon Brown and his party is in the middle of an embarrassing storm prepared to shake up the government. Apparently many of them have been expensing all sorts of goods and services, most of them unrelated to their work. What caught my eye is Home Office Secretary Jacqui Smith’s expense: two X-rated movies [...]

Britain doesn’t appreciate freedom of speech

The U.K. Home Office has released names of individuals who are barred from entering the country because of their ideas and words. If you preach hate, are anti-gay, or host a conservative talk show, then you can cancel your vacation to Britain. Michael Savage is apparently on the list. I wonder if the Pope will [...]

Al Gore afraid of a good global warming debate?

I mean “climate change” rather. After all, Colorado just saw a few feet of snow in April. What “warming”? Is Al Gore afraid of some good debate about his most passionate subject matter? He sure put up a good fight in 2000 about the presidential election, but he’s scared of arguing against Lord Christopher Monckton [...]

Obama’s sensitive diplomacy is idiotic

President Obama is afraid that accepting a sincere invitation from French President Nicolas Sarkozy to visit Normandy would offend the Germans and British. According to the Telegraph: “During this trip, we wanted to maintain a balance between the British, German and France”. A White House spokesman in London declined to comment. Last month, White House [...]

Go Merkel, go!

British P.M. Gordon Brown plans to present a “Global New Deal” to G20 leaders, suggesting a $2 trillion stimulus to end the recession. He and President Obama can definitely be buddies, and maybe the Global New Deal ought to include efforts to remove the DVD region codes so that Brown can view those gifted movies [...]

Latest Obama foreign policy gaffe

British P.M. Gordon Brown shouldn’t feel so bad receiving DVDs from President Obama which, by the way, don’t play in the U.K. thanks to anti-piracy measures. He should be glad he’s not in French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s shoes. What describes President Obama better? Rookie president of the year? The political virgin? Barack “On no!” Obama? [...]

Obama gifts DVDs to British PM Brown

Okay, no matter how you spin this, it’s totally embarrassing for Americans. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown gives the President a very, very thoughtful gift: During his historic trip to Washington, Gordon Brown gave Barack Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet – once called HMS [...]

Pray for India

Indian commandos finally ended the terrorist siege in Mumbai. The grim reality now is counting the dead and assessing the damages. According to the sole captured terrorist, the plan was to kill 5,000. So far the death toll is around 300. This is truly India’s 9/11… The terrorists targeted whites, especially those who were Americans or [...]
