Oh, great:

President Barack Obama has refused to meet the Dalai Lama in Washington this week in a move to curry favour with the Chinese.

The decision came after China stepped up a campaign urging nations to shun the Tibetan spiritual leader.

It means Mr Obama will become the first president not to welcome the Nobel peace prize winner to the White House since the Dalai Lama began visiting Washington in 1991.| MORE ›

Conservative comedian Steven Crowder produced a new video for Pajamas TV in which he makes fun of America’s far-left. The main victim this time? Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

Watch Crowder’s video, it’s truly hilarious.

The main problem I have with Michael Moore isn’t that he lies, distorts and deceives. That’s what you’d expect from a professional propagandist after all. No, it’s that many in the mainstream media pretend we should take him serious.

We shouldn’t.

The man’s a joke.| MORE ›

In my latest post for Hot Air’s GreenRoom, I look at a report in British newspapers, claiming that Europe, China, Russia and some oil producing countries are planning to end using the dollar as the currency to buy and sell oil.

The world’s oil producers, as well as China and France, are planning to end using the dollar as the currency to buy and sell oil, British newspapers report.| MORE ›

My latest post for Hot Air is called “Conservatism Is Social, Socialism Is Not.” Read it here.

Whenever conservatives debate economics and social equality with progressives, the latter succeed in portraying the former as cold, greedy and careless. ‘Conservatives just don’t care about the poor,’ leftists say, they only care about protecting corporate interests and making a couple of million themselves while they’re at it.| MORE ›

The Telegraph (UK) reports that the Obama administration is furious at General Stanley McChrystal, commander of NATO forces in Afganistan. Last week, the general gave a “blunt” speech in London, in which he “flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.” McChrystal urged the Obama administration to act quickly before the war in Afganistan was no longer winnable.| MORE ›

A new report says no:

The credibility of the government’s $700 billion financial rescue program was damaged by claims a year ago that all of the initial banks receiving support were healthy, a new report contends.

Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky generally found that the government had acted properly in October 2008 as it scrambled to implement the Troubled Asset Relief Program to avert the collapse of the U.S. financial system.| MORE ›

What? Wasn’t its nuclear project peaceful? Who would’ve thought!

Two years ago, American intelligence agencies published a detailed report [i.e. the 2007 NIE] concluding that Tehran halted its efforts to design a nuclear weapon in 2003. But in recent months, Britain has joined France, Germany and Israel in disputing that conclusion, saying the work has been resumed.| MORE ›

Oh my, it seems that Michael Moore’s heydays as big shot documentary filmmaker are over:

Michael Moore’s purposefully controversial and politically polarizing documentary Capitalism: A Love Story was distributed by Overture Films and wound up in 7th place. It went wide into 962 theaters this weekend after opening on September 23rd in a limited release of 4 theaters.| MORE ›

It’s unbelievable, but  it seems that IAEA-head Mohammed ElBaradei is finally taking the threat Iran poses to the Middle East and the rest of the world serious.

“Iran is the number one threat to the Middle East,” he said.

Oh, excuse me, that’s a typo right there. Hehe, of course he didn’t say the above.

Well, not about Iran, that is:| MORE ›

Film mogul Harvey Weinstein has had enough of all the criticism of Roman Polanski and those who defend him so passionately.

The public, Weinstein believes, should simply shut up and listen to Hollywood. Why? Because the far-left actors’ guild has “moral authority.”

I kid you not:| MORE ›
