The numbers of Hizballah fighters in Syria are significant for a non-state militia force. However, the numbers are not large relative to the impact Hizballah fighters have had in changing the momentum of the fight in the government's favor.

The amount of economic illiteracy in France is simply staggering. If the goal is to get people to read books, logic would dictate the cheaper the price the better. Kindle, Nook, and other eBook readers come to mind.

And the coast is clear. Well, not necessarily but we aren't going to go gently into the night. There are several compelling aspects to this rally.

NY Mayor Bloomberg, and Colorado Democrats, are going to need a hug pretty soon. The recall petition against the State Senator who pushed gun control is a worrisome sign for anti-gun activists.

Warren Buffett, throughout his illustrious career has repeatedly said, “Don’t bet against America.” A wonderful statement, but given some of our erratic history, one needs to ask the question “why not?” The answer is relatively basic: Americans know how to adapt.

Jonathon Moseley, who wrote an article on Benghazi for the American Thinker, spoke with John about a few of the blatant lies that have been thrown forward regarding the death of Ambassador Stevens. John also talked about the “Happiness Index” and why the “recovery” isn’t impacting most Americans.

Stocks have been swift and confident like the hare with a single-minded determination of the tortoise. Yet what happens when the worst traits of both are present at the same time?

The root of the unrest is the growing lack of empowerment for secular interests and people who are less devout Muslims. Turkish youths and city dwellers who support the protests are railing against the actions of a legitimately elected president and parliament.

With many European nations already in the midst of a fiscal crisis caused by excessive government, and with most other industrialized nations heading down the same path thanks to aging populations and poorly designed entitlement programs, this would be a good time for supposed experts to propose ways to rein in the welfare state.

I object to paying $95 per barrel of oil when the economy should be supporting prices closer to $55 per barrel. The $40 difference is mainly attributable to Obama and his nutty professors, like Dr. Stephen Chu, who thinks $5.00 a gallon gasoline would be a swell idea.

While the President's FY2014 budget proposal is anywhere from $100 billion to $300 billion less than what President Obama has previously proposed for the U.S. government to spend in any of his first-term budgets, it still runs a minimum of $475 billion above the President's historically non-credible forecasts for the federal government's revenue collections.

For those people that view the U.S. stock market as an entity totally devoid of a relationship with economic reality, then I suppose “correction” is indeed the appropriate word. Whether it’s a 5% or 10% correction, it always affords the unsuspecting investor an opportunity to join the party, which is more than likely what they’ve been missing.

Yep. . . That was actually said by a left wing pundit. Needless to say, Ransom has a different opinion. Also, John Andrews – Leader of the Western Conservative Summit – spoke about the annual conservative conference in the Rocky Mountains this summer.

Once politicians create a pile of free money, people will figure out ways of getting their hands on that money. That’s true for all programs. But because of the amounts of money involved, Medicare is a far bigger problem than other programs

How far down the redistribution of wealth path have we traveled? And, how near is the day of reckoning? Yet for all of the fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, and financial Armageddon deadline negotiations that come and go, there seems zero willingness to address the elephant in the room.

Israeli analysts accused Asad of lying about the delivery of S-300 missiles. Unnamed US officials said there was no evidence of a recent missile delivery.
If they show up, some intelligence services are going to be embarrassed.

The Elysee Palace sold off a tenth of its wine collection in a Presidential garage sale. Selling presidential wine in a nation that loves its wine might chip away at awful approval ratings, but it speaks more to the stupidity of goals that include squeezing the inequality gap by bringing the top lower, taxing rich people and businesses, and demonizing success.
