Detroit judge does Obama a favor

Washington Times:

A judge Thursday dashed embattled Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's brief hope of attending the Democratic National Convention by barring him from leaving Michigan, just hours after another judge had lifted his travel restrictions.

Even if Mr. Kilpatrick, a Democratic superdelegate, is allowed to attend the Denver event, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama would consider his visit a "distraction," his campaign said.

But the Obama campaign stopped short of saying the mayor shouldn't go.

...

Mr. Kilpatrick said in a statement released Thursday afternoon that he was "focused on running the city" and didn't want to distract from Mr. Obama receiving the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

But Mr. Kilpatrick also declined to say whether he would appeal his travel restrictions so he could attend the convention.

...

Perhaps Kilpatrick can get together with John Edwards and discuss affairs management and distraction management issues during the convention that they both will apparently not attend. Kilpatrick may also want to communicate with Edwards on text messaging with one's adulterous partner. They should not be too disappointed at not attending. Bill Clinton will be there to represent adulterous Americans.

Those Democrats sure know how to party.

The myth of 'voter suppression'

 DailyWire: Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Dhillon Law Group Inc., blasted Democrats’ claims of race-based voter suppression while pointing out the real threat to U.S. election integrity: the federalization of election law. Dhillon and her law firm are representing The Daily Wire in its legal challenge against the Biden administration’s order mandating that large employers either vaccinate or mask and COVID-19 test all their employees. The Supreme Court stayed the order on January 13 in a major blow to the government. Roughly two weeks later, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration withdrew the rule to reassess its implementation. Dhillon is set to appear on “The Ben Shapiro: Sunday Special” episode airing Sunday, January 30. During the episode, Dhillon and host Ben Shapiro cover topics from the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stay President Joe Biden’s vaccine order for large employers and conservatives’ reluctance to engage in “lawfare” with Democrats.

A global war on insurgency Roxanna Tiron: The anti-insurgency tactics the U.S. military is learning in Iraq could be applied globally, which would turn the war on terrorism into a “war on insurgency,” said Lt. Gen. William Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and war fighting support. “My position is that this is a global insurgency,” said Boykin during a forum on special operations and low intensity conflict. In Iraq and other trouble spots, the United States has to come to grips with the nature of the enemy, he explained. “It is a web of networks that come together in a coalition of convenience. There are links to drug trafficking, money laundering and the like,” he said. An insurgency is a political-military activity, in which the political aspects are much more ...

Kerry's false premise on UN resolution

Gregg Roman: ... Although administration officials have been reluctant to explain the precise reasoning behind their last-minute series of attacks on Israel, as near as I can tell it rests on three assumptions. The first, as Kerry outlined in his speech, is that a freeze on Israeli settlement growth makes it easier for Palestinian negotiators to make painful compromises at the negotiating table. It supposedly does this by easing Palestinian suspicions that Israel either won't make major territorial concessions at the negotiating table, or won't implement these concessions once made. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put this assumption to the test in November 2009 when he imposed a 10-month moratorium on new housing construction (East Jerusalem excepted) at the urging of the Obama administration. What happened? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas refused to return to talks until the very end of the moratorium and remained every bit as intransigent as ...
