ISIS

We had a guest heavy program today, but I did squeeze in a monologue about terrorism.

A sure fire way to deal with terrorism is to kill terrorists.  All this claptrap about it breeding more is a spurious argument.  It’s like saying Germany inspired the French Resistance through brutality.  What Resistance?  The numbers of Frenchmen and women violently opposed to the occupation were small...

Call me a paleoconservative or paleocon for short.  What does that mean?  During the middle of the last century there was a U.S. Senator from Ohio known as Robert Taft.  He was also known as Mr. Republican.  Taft and his fellow conservatives were a reaction to New Deal spending and the imperial ambitions that followed World War Two...

When do we lock her up and throw away the key?  A friend of mine is a retired undercover federal narcotics agent and suggested today there is now plenty of evidence for a conviction of Hillary Clinton.  We had reaction to the ongoing Clinton scandal on Top Story...

The DNC is at war with Bernie and John Kerry is at war with refrigerators.  Both were discussed today on Top Story with Bill Colley.  It appears the media darlings are doing their best to paper over the latest scandal presided over by Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz...

Are all Muslim men rapists? Of course not. Are some Muslim men rapists? Yes, and it doesn’t make me a bigot when I tell others there are serious issues blending Islamic culture with our Western ways. Lefty starts shouting when you mention this because he believes if he can make more noise no one will ever consider the reality...

Call me a Russophile.  Even when I was younger and recognized the failures of the Soviet Union I had no animosity against the people of its largest component (Republic was a bit of a stretch).  As a boy I was thrilled when visiting hockey teams toured North America or played in the Olympics...

Some claim the Friday terrorist attack in Paris was actually staged by government security forces.  It’s called a “false-flag attack”.  The name comes from the days of high-seas pirating when often to confuse another ship prior to attack a pirate or privateer would fly the flag of another navy...

Where are the local refugees from Syria?  Sometime last month the place I now call home in Idaho was scheduled to have another 300 new citizens join me in the westward migration.  I suppose they arrived quietly and without fanfare and for good reason...

A leftist blogger this week accused me of being an ultra-nationalist.  Does he mean American patriot?  He’s ticked off because I made reference to “pathology” when talking about Islamic terrorism.  Is he suggesting something noble about knifing Israeli schoolchildren, blowing up marathon routes and burning people in cages...

I don’t consider myself a conspiracy theorist.  Alex Jones isn’t appointment radio, although.  When I sometimes listen to Jones I’m impressed by the narrative and the passion behind his voice.  It’s entertaining if nothing else and I also have suspicions about large institutions...

America’s establishment media wants you to believe police in this country are out of control.  There are days I wonder if the lefties have made life even more miserable for law enforcement than it already is.  First, I’d put money down in arguing the percentage of bad cops in the country is probably smaller today than it was 40 years ago...

Lost in the wrestling match over an American flag at a Georgia college is the response of administrators.  By now you’re familiar with the story of Air Force veteran Michelle Manhart’s arrest at Valdosta State University.  Last week she approached some students trampling an American flag and seized it for proper disposal...

Reports are rampant that President Obama will sign an executive order as soon as this week that will allow up to 5 million undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation. Signing such an order would have explosive political consequence. Kelly Klaas and Jill Skeem on Top Story, 8 to 10 a...

Idaho Governor Butch Otter will be on Top Story today with Kelly Klaas and Benito Baeza at 9 o'clock. Randy Stapilus will have the Idaho Political Update at 8:40. Some towns are dropping "Columbus Day" in favor of "Indigenous People's Day ... Read More ...

Anton Nolen, the Islamic extremist in Moore, Oklahoma, beheaded one woman and stabbed another multiple times in the warehouse where he was fired from his job.  Evidence shows he is a Muslim sympathizer of ISIS, yet they hesitate to call his actions "terrorism...

Joshua Palmer with the City of Twin Falls will update us this morning at 8:30 on the water line break at Orchard and South Washington.  The break prompted a "boil water" order from the city. Steve Millington with the Twin Falls Republicans will join us at 8:40 today ... Read More ...

A Washington man, a civilian, is in prison after being discovered by a military operation looking for illegal activity on the internet by military personnel.  The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just through his conviction out claiming a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 barring the military from law enforcement over civilians...

President Obama announced this week that he will send 3000 American troops to areas where ebola is running rampant to help control it.  Are you OK with that? Karl Klienkopf is running for re-election on the CSI Board of Directors.  He will join us at 8:40 this morning ... Read More ...

U.S. Citizens who fight for ISIS, who claim asylum in North Korea...should they still enjoy U.S. citizenship rights? Political Analyst Randy Stapilus says this Idaho campaign cycle is an interesting one, to say the least. State Treasurer candidate Deb Silver says why you should vote for her ... Read More ...
