Que Pasa? WASHINGTON – Rep. Tom Tancredo, the leader of the anti-illegal immigration faction in the U.S. House, spent a recent weekend at The Breakers in Palm Beach. Ninety miles to the south, he found a symbol to bolster his belief that unfettered immigration is endangering the United States: Miami, he told a conservative online […]

I’ve been spending a couple hours every afternoon listening to Andrea Shea-King and Mark Vance on Constitutional Public Radio. It’s the familiar conservative talk, but they’ve done one little thing that makes listening to them much more enjoyable than other shows. They have a live chatroom where you can interact with the hosts, ask questions […]

Is to hate, hate, hate him…. Democratic Sen. John Kerry, considering a second bid for the U.S. presidency, finished dead last in a poll released on Monday on the Likeability of 20 top American political figures. Among those placed ahead of Kerry were about a dozen potential 2008 White House rivals, including Democratic Sen. Hillary […]

Well here’s a real shocker… It is something one half of the population has long suspected – and the other half always vocally denied. Women really do talk more than men. In fact, women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day – 13,000 […]

It’s unbelievable what is happening with the events surrounding the 6 muslim passengers being kicked off a plane. Between the race-card players & the crooked anti-american muslim groups and the appeasing democrats, our ability to protect ouselves pro-actively is severly being compromised. Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson-Lee, taking time off from complaining about names of hurricanes […]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water: The contours of this landscape-altering election started taking shape more than a year ago. And by the first week of August, my Cook Political Report team and I began forecasting that if the election were held then, the Republicans would lose the […]

Driving home from the mountains of Virginia this weekend I saw a strange sight; an echo of far off days long forgotten now. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. But still there it was on an ancient blue pickup truck traveling about 55 mph in the lane next to us: taking up a goodly part […]

Let’s take Jesus: 33-years-old, still lives with Mom. But the guy knows a trade, likes children and seems pleasant enough. The hair we can live with. Buddha: Fat. Bald. Sleeps a lot. Again, though, nice personality. Used to be prince, which is a definite plus. Krishna: She brought him home for Thanksgiving her first year […]

Bloggers are compiling quite a bit of evidence that war propagandists in the Middle East have succeeded in infiltrating the international and American media by selling them (both literally and figuratively) stories that are not only fake, but also inaccurate. See the latest from Patterico and Flopping Aces. It is good to see bloggers exposing […]

NBC Today Show host Matt Lauer has declared that there is a Civil War in Iraq: On the Today Show, Matt Lauer said: “For months now the White House has rejected claims that the situation in Iraq has deteriorated into a civil war.

Pam Anderson files for divorce from Kid Rock. The good news? She’s back on the market. The bad news? She was so wrapped up in her personal struggles, that the usually steady PETA P.R. ship

Don’t look know, but President Bush is reaching out to his new friends in the Democrat controlled Senate for a new Immigration bill. One of illegal immigrants best friends, Ted Kennedy, is drafting one as we speak: (CNSNews.com) – President Bush is reaching out to Democrat leaders in Congress in an effort to overhaul immigration […]

Well, to catch you up to speed…Wal-Mart did several things to cozy up to the homosexual activists, (who knows why, since they don’t represent a very large consumer base, and the demands they make are always over-the-top). Anyway, some Wal-Mart employees found out, quit publicly, in protest and a boycott was called. Wal-Mart offered a […]

Oh, come on, you know you want to think about it. And, the media knows you do. Hence, the look-ahead-by-looking-back piece from the AP today on famous moments from N.H. and Iowa primary history– tailor-made for the political junkie who’s sick of pondering the unsuspenseful question of whether the Dems will act a fool or […]

I didn’t even know he was still alive. Well, anyway, his career sure is dead. Now, he’s jumped into Michael Moore-like anti-american, anti-war propaganda “documentaries”: Add the name of Phil Donahue to the list of people who’ve made documentaries about the effects of the Iraq war. The legendary liberal talk-show host and renowned Ralph Nader […]

Are you following this story as close as I am? Ripped right out of a James Bond movie or a Robert Ludlum novel, a former Russian spy died last week from radiation poison. It seems Alexander Litvinenko absorbed polonium210, a rare and highly toxic radioactive material. Days before he died, Litvinenko fingered the Kremlin as […]

Yesterday, I interviewed Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch about his new book, “The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion” (published by Regnery, a HUMAN EVENTS sister company). What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation: Now, Muhammad was around for quite a long time before he claimed to see visions […]

Want to see how to turn bright, young kids who are eager to learn into worthless sacks of undisciplined crap by the time that they’re 18? Well, they’ve got it all figured out in Brooklyn, “One recent day at the Brooklyn Free School, the “schedule” included the following: filming horror movies, chess, debate and making […]

Maybe it’s because I’m getting ready to go on vacation or maybe it’s because I’m just tired, but I’m having one hell of a time coming up with something to write about. So, with that in mind, enjoy or alternately, suffer through, these random thoughts…. — Given that a lot of Republicans are going to […]

— The whole idea of having an Iraqi study group that features a bunch of Democrats, people who never bought into the war in Iraq to begin with (like James Baker), and people who have no business having anything to do with foreign policy (like Sandra Day O’Connor), come up with an Iraqi policy is […]

“Government spending exceeds 50 percent of the GDP in France and Sweden and more than 45 percent in Germany and Italy , compared to U.S. federal, state and local spending of just under 36 percent.

If you want to see what an all-powerful, overbearing socialist government gone mad looks like, then to Tony Blair’s Britain where they’re giving new meaning to the term “nannystate:” “Parents could be forced to go to special classes to learn to sing their children nursery rhymes, a minister said. Those who fail to read stories […]

The New York Times has a fascinating breakdown of exit polling data that goes from 1982 all the way to the present. Here’s how the GOP did this time around with some of the key demographic groups, compared to last mid-terms in 2002 (The first number is the percentage of that group’s vote that the […]

Every so often, I like going over to the very popular liberal blog, The Smirking Chimp to see what the libs are talking about. That’s because liberal pols like Nancy Pelosi, Charles Rangel, and John Murtha have to hide what they think to keep from scaring the general public, but the Smirking Chimp and other […]

Liberals often have a weird way of looking at patriotism. They get extremely huffy if you question their patriotism, but then they often go out of their way to show that they’re not patriotic. Take the American flag. It’s not unusual for conservatives to wear flag pins or display flags because they genuinely love their […]
