Teheran raids Iraq in attack on Kurds. This is not good news. However, the fact that it has been sent down the memory hole by the MSM is telling. Iran wants to draw the US into a shooting war to give them cover to start lobbing missiles at Israel. Additionally, Michael Totten is reporting that Iran has taken front line positions in southern Lebannon. They positioned themselves there to lob rockets at Israel. So, when the crazed Iranian president says he wants to destroy Israel and being the apocalyptic war that will bring the world to an end, he's not kidding. He really is batshit crazy. Iraq is going to have to sort this out. The Kurds are very capable fighters but they don't have the armor that the Iranians have let alone the air capabilities. This is going to get worse before it gets better.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
