I missed this tribute to our fallen warriors yesterday.

Need any more evidence that we should defund the U.N.?

Where’s the outcry from the Left? Oh, yeah. They own the media.

Alan Dershowitz@NY Daily News Drop George Zimmerman’s murder charge: New evidence suggests Trayvon Martin’s killer acted in self-defense
ABC News Cops, Witnesses Back Up George Zimmerman’s Version of Trayvon Martin Shooting
So when charges are dropped or Zimmerman is acquitted, what do you think are the odds we’ll hear an apology from the race hustlers, gun grabbers, & their compliant media lapdogs who have made this case a spectacle for exactly the wrong reasons?

I’m not a birther myself, but was he lying then or is he lying now?
John R. Lott@Fox News What Zimmerman, Martin medical reports tell us and the media didn’t
This is looking more and more like a story hyped by race hustlers and a complicit agenda-driven media.
Did you see the national story this weekend about the jogger in Raytown, MO who was gunned down in a random drive-by shooting? No? [Hint: he was white and the killers weren’t.]

When will we drop the pretense that the TSA is keeping us safe? Big Sis tells us they’d have caught this one. Even if I bought that line, here’s a news flash for JaNo: he wasn’t going to board in the U.S.
I’ve always been fascinated by our 16th President. Many good books have explored Lincoln’s towering intellect, deep wisdom, quick wit, and keen ability to work with people who opposed him. In Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever, authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard portray the final days of Lincoln’s life in a gripping narrative that drew me in from the first page. Approaching this seminal event in American history from a variety of viewpoints, they move between concurrent story lines in a seamless way that keeps you turning pages well into the night.
The authors draw from a number of conflicting and controversial sources, so while the finished product garnered quite a bit of criticism—primarily, it appears, from reviewers who dislike O’Reilly to begin with and couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge that the authors detail the controversies at the back of the book—it is eminently readable. You get a feeling for who the players were, where they came from, what motivated them… Compared to other books I’ve read re his assassination, Killing Lincoln comes off not as a doctoral dissertation to slog through, but as a story you just don’t want to put down.
And that’s what the authors were, um, shooting for. Give it a shot. If you’re at all interested in the subject, you’ll enjoy the book.
