Know what this latest pork ridden Senate Bill is for President Bush? It’s an opportunity: “A must-pass Senate bill funding the war in Iraq and hurricane aid for the Gulf Coast faces a vote Thursday, but a veto threat imperils many provisions added by lawmakers. The bill is now about $14 billion more than President […]

Today, I was in on a blogger teleconference with Ken Cohen, Vice President of Public Affairs at ExxonMobil. I actually had to move on at the one hour mark, but Cohen was still going, which is kind of unusual. But maybe that’s because Cohen has probably never been on the line with a group of […]

The data showing that Americans prefer a tough approach to illegal immigration just keeps on coming. Just take a look at this Zogby survey (yeah, I know it’s Zogby and you have to take his polls with a grain of salt, but still….) which actually allows Americans to choose between the Senate and the House […]

Now this is a fun concept: “…(S)everal other celebrities got zinged in a recent poll that asked participants to pick “celebrities we’d least like to fly with.” Model, actress and sex tape star Paris Hilton took “top” honors from 26 percent of people who responded to the survey… …Sitting in second place with 23 percent: […]

People often say that the blogosphere is “self-correcting” and that’s true — for the right side. On the other hand, the left side of the blogosphere is a fountain of misinformation. The left gets it wrong over and over and over again, day in and day out, and as long as the story reflects badly […]

Here’s a rare bird: an online poll that Republicans in Washington would be wise to heed. It’s from Polipundit, a mainstream conservative website that draws exactly the sort of people who normally vote for a straight Republican ticket, donate to campaigns, put up yard signs, talk up Bush to their neighbors, and do all the […]

If you want to see how far around the bend the left-wing blogosphere is, just take a look at this post over at Seeing the Forest — the sinister cover-up of Steven Colbert’s stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Now, before we get started, you’re probably thinking, “Did he just use the […]

— Europe’s attempts to negotiate with Iran have failed utterly and completely. Iran’s foreign minister has said that “Russia and China had officially informed Tehran they would not support sanctions or military action.” That means effective action via the UN is out. So, isn’t it fair to say that we have exhausted all diplomatic options […]

Yesterday, the much heralded “day without an (illegal) immigrant” rallies occurred and about the only purpose it served was to remind people why we don’t want a bunch of uninvited illegals, rallying in the streets, yelling slogans in Spanish, waving foreign flags, assaulting the police, and demanding the right to break the law with impunity. […]

I’m scheduled to be on the Tammy Bruce show today at 2:30 PM EST for 10-20 minutes and I’m scheduled to talk about Andrea Clark and illegal immigration. You can listen to it for free, here. *** Update #1 ***: Tammy and I talked about Iran and illegal immigration for 10 minutes and, as always, […]

You know your massive illegal immigration protests are starting to backfire when even Teddy Kennedy is willing to say publicly that “the Star Spangled Banner ought to be sung in English. Period.” — Charles Johnson

What would a day without illegal aliens really be like? Let’s try to imagine it. …Hospital emergency rooms across the southwest would have about 20-percent fewer patients, and there would be 183,000 fewer people in Colorado without health insurance. OBGYN wards in Denver would have 24-percent fewer deliveries and Los Angeles’s maternity-ward deliveries would drop […]

From a letter sent out today to Julie Myers, head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Dear Ms. Myers, As you are aware, pro-illegal immigration rallies are taking place throughout the United States today. Those organizing the rallies have encouraged illegal aliens to refrain from going to work as a sign of protest. Too often, […]

Rasmussen polling put out these eye catching numbers on Thursday: The survey also asked respondents how they would vote if “a third party candidate ran in 2008 and promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority.” With that option, support fell sharply for both major […]

Once again, time is running out for Andrea Clark. Starting at 12:01 AM, tomorrow, St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital has made it clear that they may pull Andrea Clark’s life support at any time after giving her family a “reasonable” notice. This is despite the fact that the family and Andrea herself do not agree with […]

There has been a lot of talk about the White House Correspondents’ dinner. Bush did a little skit with a White House impersonator which got rave reviews and Steven Colbert did a comedy routine that apparently hit a little too close to home for W.. A lot of people on the right are arguing that […]

— The economy is still rolling: “The report out this morning shows that the U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual pace of 4.8 percent between January and March.” Too bad that high gas prices and the liberal bias of the MSM are keeping Bush from getting the credit he deserves. His perfectly timed […]

I’ve just spoken with Andrea’s sisters, Melanie Childers and Lanore Dixon, today, as well as Andrea’s lawyer, Jerri Ward. Unfortunately, St. Luke’s has reneged on the deal.
