The New York Times reports: On his first full day off, though, Mr. Kerry awoke determined to hit the slopes of Mount Baldy. The image-conscious candidate and his aides prevailed upon reporters and photographers to let him have a first run down the mountain solo, except for two agents and Marvin Nicholson, his omnipresent right-hand man. His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were

According to the New York Post: Sen. John Kerry, acting more like a lordly man of leisure than presidential timber as he casually snowboards near his wife's stunning $5 million Idaho hideaway. The Massachusetts Democrat sought respite from the relentless pounding being delivered this week by Team Bush as he began a five-day break at the magnificent spread in Ketchum.

A Nation at War By Timothy Perry March 19, 2004 America was attacked a little over two and a half years ago. Never before was such an attack perpetrated on this great nation. With a resiliency that makes this country unique, we have bounced back from despair and have regained our daily composure. While the fear and anxiety has left our consciousness, one fact still remains. We are still a

According to CNN: Pakistani forces have surrounded what may be a "high-value" al Qaeda target in Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan, President Pervez Musharraf told CNN. "We feel that there may be a high-value target," Musharraf told CNN. "I can't say who." The Associated Press and Reuters reported that officials believe the surrounded figure is Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri

Columnist and lightning rod Ann Coulter makes a great point in her latest column. She writes: The New York Times called the Spanish election "an exercise in healthy democracy." And an ATM withdrawal with a gun to your head is a "routine banking transaction." Instead of vowing to fight the people who killed their fellow citizens, the Spanish decided to vote with al-Qaida on the war. A murdering

People upset with the French over the war can take solace in the fact that there is at least one Frenchmen willing to help.

The Bush administration is showing that it is serious about this election. Entering into the political season running is important for any candidate. With the early indication that the heavy hitters will be out and defending the administration, it looks like they are not afraid to scrap with the Kerry campaign.

The Wall Street Journal reports: The $100 billion Iraqi Oil for Food program was by far the largest relief operation in the history of the United Nations. By extension, it's rapidly becoming the U.N.'s largest-ever scandal. After months of stonewalling, Secretary General Kofi Annan conceded Tuesday that the program was worthy of an internal investigation. It's a step forward, but it's not

Andrew Sullivan hits a home run with his fisking of the events in Spain. In regards to the critics, he responds: How on earth did President Bush "squander" the alleged sympathy of many in Western Europe after September 11? All he did was to respond, at first in Afghanistan, a war opposed by many in the Guardian's pages, and thereafter in Iraq. For both wars, he secured bipartisan support in the

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists.

For those out there who claim that there is no bias in the way the media reports, here is a report for you. This site posted the results of a NY Times/CBS poll showing that the president had a lead over Kerry.

Then there is this report from Lisa Meyers at MSNBC, where she writes: NBC News has obtained, exclusively, extraordinary secret video, shot by the U.S. government. It illustrates an enormous opportunity the Clinton administration had to kill or capture bin Laden. Critics call it a missed opportunity. In the fall of 2000, in Afghanistan, unmanned, unarmed spy planes called Predators flew over

According to this Associated Press report: Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean said Tuesday that President Bush's decision to send troops to Iraq appears to have contributed to the bombing deaths of 201 in Spain. "That was what they said in the tape," Dean said. "They made that connection, I'm simply repeating it." It is very troubling to me that the Democrats wish to play this

Mark Steyn has written a great piece on the events in Spain and what they mean. Highlights: At the end of last week, American friends kept saying to me: "3/11 is Europe's 9/11. They get it now." I expressed scepticism. And I very much doubt whether March 11 will be a day that will live in infamy. Rather, March 14 seems likely to be the date bequeathed to posterity, in the way we remember those

Economist Thomas Sowell makes a great point on outsourcing: Back during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when unemployment in the United States hit a high of 25 percent, one of the many foolish things the government did was create international trade restrictions designed to save American jobs. Other countries around the world created similar restrictions to save their own workers' jobs. Net

"If he can't list names, then perhaps he should find something else to talk about." Powell

Columnist Mark Steyn nails it today when he writes: Sen. Kerry thinks the Bush administration are ''crooked'' and ''lying.'' The Bush ''lie'' boils down to this: The president believes there's a war on. The Dems think 9/11 is like the 1998 ice storm or a Florida hurricane -- just one of those things. And they think Bush is ''lying'' by insisting on playing it as a war. As it happens, the only

The Associated Press reports: Spain's interior minister Saturday announced the arrest of five suspects in the Madrid bombings, including three Moroccans. The five were arrested in connection with a cell phone inside an explosives-packed gym bag found on one of the bombed commuter trains. The suspects "could be related to Moroccan extremist groups," the minister said. "But we should not rule

In his usual fashion Charles Krauthammer takes on the French. Highlights: In an article in The Wall Street Journal, Jean-Marie Colombani, who wrote the famous Sept. 12, 2001, Le Monde editorial titled "We are all Americans,'' gives us the usual more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger lament about America's sins: We loved you on Sept. 11.

Sherrie Gossett of WorldNetDaily reports today that there is a past to the Susan Lindauer story. How this woman was able to keep working for many campaigns is beyond me. Her latest boss was Democratic contender Carol Moseley Braun. Apparently the Democrats do not talk to former employers to find out if the new hire is a nutcase or not.

New York's Howard Stern is promising to quit if President Bush signs a new indeceny law into effect.

According to John Kerry, foreign leaders appear anxious to deal with him and hope that he wins the election in November. However, when asked who these foreign leaders were, Kerry declined to comment.

Groucho Marx is credited with the quote, but I could see it applying to John Kerry as well: "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others." Kerry says that the attack squad is on him for running ads showing that he has changed his position on several issues. The question with Kerry will always remain what his core beliefs are and will he stick with them. We will have to see.

A surprising stance from the New York Times on the campaign: We sympathize with the Democrats' desire to level the playing field. But they do not have to subvert the law to do it. Indeed, Mr. Kerry has already announced his intention to raise as much as $80 million in smaller contributions that are legal. Mr. Kerry appears confident that the Democrats can raise money without making end runs

Kerry-McCain 2004 sounds to me as likely as Bush-Giuliani. Not going to happen. Doing this would alienate the angry Democratic voter and would be seen as caving in to the Republicans to get support.

While Kerry is battling away with Dennis Kucinich for the Democratic nomination, President Bush has officially captured the nomination after winning every single primary.

The Wall Street Journal today has an op-ed piece written by Debra Burlingame, the sister of a pilot killed in the September 11th attack on America. She has written a piece regarding the politicizing of the attack. Highlights of her submission: It is one thing for individual family members to invoke the memory of all 3,000 victims as they take to the microphone or podium to show respect for our

John Kerry's website is laced with profanity according to internet reporter Matt Drudge. In a clip over the weekend, Drudge points out the items. Is Mr. Kerry, who is attempting to appear presidential, really going to allow such a childish display to represent his campaign? Or is this something we should all get used to and be ready for the White House site to show the same level of decorum

Economist Larry Kudlow explains another perspective to the jobs situation: But what matters is the vast 94.4 percent of the working population who are laboring and prospering. Prospering. Family net worth, according to latest Federal Reserve release, has soared to a record high of $44.4 trillion, driven mainly by rising stock market and home prices.

Interesting column from Greg Kaza of NationalReviewOnline. According to Kaza: At first glance, weakness in employment growth appears to be President Bush's economic Achilles Heel. Other indicators are performing well. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq stock averages rose in 2003 after three straight annual declines. Real GDP (inflation-adjusted gross domestic product) has expanded nine consecutive

This year more than ever the special interest groups will be purchasing airtime to run ads against the presidential candidates. Since John Kerry has such a small war chest at this time, he has to rely more on these groups to run these ads. However, according to WorldNetDaily today, they report: The non-profit, tax-exempt organization representing the families of September 11 victims who are

British Prime Minister Tony Blair's WSJ article is a good read and would recommend that you do so. One striking comment was: The truth is, as was abundantly plain in the motion before the House of Commons on 18 March, we went to war to enforce compliance with U.N. resolutions. Had we believed Iraq was an imminent direct threat to Britain, we would have taken action in September 2002; we would

Strange report in FrontPage Magazine regarding John Kerry's days in Vietnam. Highlights: “[T]he fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations,Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me — 30 years ago when he was still CNO —that during his own command of U.S. naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass,by killing so

In a new review by FactCheck.org they report: The latest TV ad from the Moveon.org Voter Fund says "George Bush wants to eliminate overtime pay for 8 million workers," referring to new overtime rules that the Department of Labor has proposed. The 8-million figure (hotly denied by the Bush administration, of course) comes from a study by the labor-funded Economic Policy Institute. The ad

As the New York Times is reporting, Senator Ted Kennedy has launched an attack at the president regarding Iraq. The Times reports: Senator Edward M.

President Bush could have a real problem this November with members of his own party regarding the issue of spending. This topic has caused problems not only with the president's detractors, but also with his core backers. Fiscal conservatives have gone mad trying to figure out why the Republicans would be so fiscally irresponsible. Even worse is the Bush Administrations lack of leadership on

There has been a big uproar over the use of a few images of 9/11 in the new ads for President Bush. The WSJ editors note: September 11, 2001, marked the worst foreign attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor--the bloodiest ever on the American mainland. It's certainly been the defining event of George W. Bush's Presidency. But according to Democrats and their media echo chamber, it now

CNN reports today that the hunt for bin Laden is intensifying. According to their report: U.S. forces searching for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden along the mountainous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan will soon implement high-tech surveillance tactics in the region, enabling them to monitor the area 24 hours a day, seven days a week, CNN has learned.

Thomas Sowell makes a few good points in a recent column published this week. According to Sowell: The problem with the "gay marriage" issue is that the more fundamental issue is not gay marriage. The real issue is who should decide such issues -- that is, what kind of country and what kind of government do we have or want to have? The time is long overdue to start impeaching judges who think

Another quote, this time from my piece "The Great Pretender". In his remarks at Georgetown University on 1/23/03, Kerry stated, “We need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous, dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. He miscalculated an

John Kerry made this charge against President Bush in a debate: “He’s cut the VA (Veterans Administration) budget and not kept faith with veterans across this country. And one of the first definitions of patriotism is keeping faith with those who wore the uniform of our country.” However, as this website points out, Kerry's charge appears to be dishonest: In Bush’s first three years funding for

Both parties now have their candidates set for the upcoming election. In one corner, we have the incumbent President George W. Bush. In the other corner, we have the challenger John "I am not George Bush" Kerry. As polling data suggests, Kerry did not win primaries on issue, but by who he is not. This election has a few quite interesting dynamics. Everyone is buzzing about who can energize

A few clips: According to the Washington Post, claims by the likely Democratic presidential nominee that he can pay for new spending and reduce the deficit don't currently add up. In 2005 to 2008, Kerry's proposed spending exceeds the revenue his tax plan would generate by at least $165 billion. In the Democratic

A report from the Associated Press shows that in 1992 the Supreme Court almost overturned Roe v. Wade.

Mort Kondrake makes an observation about the race that has just begun. According to Mort: It's conventional wisdom now that this may be one of the nastiest presidential campaigns ever. But those keeping score should observe that, right now, the muddy epithets thrown at President Bush outweigh those thrown at Democrats by tons. That's not the way things are being reported, though.
