When I was a kid, I got hurt a lot. Not as much as my brother did, but I swear to you it seemed that my knees were always scabbed and I always had scrapes and bruises everywhere. My brother was even worse. It’s a miracle we both escaped with no broken bones. I always […]

Mr. Hope-Changeyness himself shows us just how unlike a regular politician he is. See, these aren’t flip-flops. This is just pandering you can believe in! Like, duh! Of course, the name John Kerry is floating around in my head right about now. Obama was just for this stuff before he was against it… before he […]

We’re seeing the third largest bank failure in United States history today with the seizure of IndyMac by federal regulators (emphasis added): IndyMac Bank, a prolific mortgage specialist that helped fuel the housing boom, was seized Friday by federal regulators, in the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history. IndyMac is the biggest mortgage lender to […]

Here’s some Monday afternoon inspiration for you. Ivan Castro joined the Army, and was a Ranger before completing Special Forces training. He earned his officer’s commission and joined the 82nd Airborne Division as platoon leader. In September of 2006, in Youssifiyah, Iraq, he was struck by mortar fire and shrapnel, breaking his arm and shoulder, […]

Ah, San Francisco: the perfect little microcosm of liberalism in action. If you want to know what America would look like if liberals took over, then all you need to do is look to San Francisco, the place Nancy Pelosi calls home. The newest example is the free ride service for illegal Honduran crack dealers, […]

I was reading a post today at Moonbattery about Amnesty International that included this picture: It also linked to this story from CNS News about yet another ridiculous Gitmo protest: Amnesty International USA brought a life-sized replica of a Guantanamo Bay prison cell to Washington on Wednesday. But amenities provided to prisoners — bedding, toiletries, […]

Obama has a history of being ardently against guns. For example, look at this questionnaire he filled out showing us his anti-gun agenda from the Politico: Of course, now that the DC handgun ban has been overturned, Obama’s singing a different tune. He wants us to believe that he just loves the Second Amendment, and […]

Over two hundred years ago, a group of patriots wrote a Declaration of Independence to assert their freedom from an oppressive tyrant. Our wonderful country was born. General George Washington would become our first President at 67, followed by 42 men elected by the people to lead the last, best hope for mankind. But that […]

Some real empowerment for your Saturday: The training program designed to strengthen Iraqi Security Forces and employ women in the fight against terrorist activity has expanded in Al Anbar province as several new recruits graduated and became the Sisters of Ameriyah-Ferris here on June 5. Previous graduates of the Sisters of Fallujah program work at […]

It’s the Army’s 233rd birthday. Blackfive brings us the birthday message from Kenneth Preston, the Sergeant Major of the Army: Here’s a nice tribute video that made me tear up a little throughout: To those currently serving, or who have served: thank you. Let’s all remember today the patriots who, starting 233 years ago, loved […]

After being forty-five minutes late, Hillary made the speech we all knew she was going to make. She officially suspended her campaign and threw her support behind Barack Obama. Hillary Rodham Clinton ended her historic campaign for the presidency on Saturday and told supporters to unite behind rival Barack Obama, closing out a race that […]

From Hannity’s America: Disturbing to say the least. Hat Tip: Hot Air

This video is great in that it shows that two people who disagree do not have to be hateful to each other or make personal attacks to prove their point. Washington could take some tips from Ellen. John McCain appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, where she asked him about gay marriage. Kudos to John for […]

After this, I cannot WAIT until McCain gets to actually debate Obama in front of a live audience. Obama’s gonna get schooled, son! First, Obama tried to make McCain look like he didn’t care about veterans. Bad move number one. Here’s Obama’s statement: “I respect Sen. John McCain’s service to our country,” Obama said on […]

Everyone knows about John McCain’s brave and honorable military service in Vietnam. A lot of people know that he comes from a long line of military officers. According to Senator Harkin, (D-IA), this is a bad thing. Not just bad, but potentially dangerous: Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s family background as the son and grandson […]

They just endorsed Barack Obama, leaving a lot of Hillary supporters and NARAL supporters furious. They’re already feeling the backlash: With the clock running down on a long-fought primary, NARAL Pro-Choice America leaders sent state affiliates reeling this week by endorsing Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. It was seen as a gratuitous slap in the […]

But, you know, remembering different cities in fifty-seven states is a tough job. So we shouldn’t judge him too harshly for forgetting what city he’s in. The Democratic frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama of another state, Illinois, had an enthusiastic double-barreled stump introduction from two local luminaries, former Sens. Tom Daschle and George McGovern, who was […]

Is anyone surprised? From the Wall Street Journal: Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign. It’s an unusual stance for a presidential candidate. […]

Un-freakin-believable. Here’s the Head Huffpo herself being a REAL class act on the Colbert Report: I don’t know where she gets that McCain is some ulta-right wing conservative now all of a sudden, because honey, he’s not. It’s interesting, though, that Arianna Huffington, of all people, would criticize someone for switching sides. Isn’t she, like, […]

Last month, I wrote about a group of unhinged peace thugs who attacked an Iraq war veteran, his wife, and his fourteen-year-old son, the Swartout family. The video of the attack is now released. Brace yourself. It’s not easy viewing. The attack happens near the end, and you’ll see four of the peace thugs jump […]

My post yesterday about how men need to man up ruffled a lot of feathers — as I knew it would. But it wasn’t the whiny liberals complaining this time around. Here, at Wizbang, and on Melissa’s blog, the same theme was repeated over and over again: what are women doing to deserve real men? […]

A flashback to when baseball and patriotism were still synonymous: Ed at Hot Air writes: I’ve written about this before at Captain’s Quarters, but the context bears repeating. In 1976, a sense of ennui had gripped the nation. In a year-long bicentennial celebration, many wondered if the economic stagnation that had lasted all decade meant […]

So when will Ramos and Compean be released? Here’s the story: The Mexican national who was the star witness in a controversial prosecution that resulted in the sentencing of two Border Patrol agents to more than a decade in prison pleaded guilty to multiple drug charges in federal court Thursday. On Feb. 17, 2005, Osvaldo […]

I guess John Kerry didn’t like people pointing out that he’s been a waste of space in Congress for the last nine years. He released a list of legislative accomplishments… none of which can actually be attributed to him. Heh. Watch: Here’s the list of Kerry’s so-called accomplishments. A lot of commenters said that they […]

Then watch this video. I work way too much to be able to have seen all of the welcome festivities for the Pope, which sucks in and of itself, but I’m especially sore to have missed this. Rosetta at The Hostages says, If you don’t get goose bumps in the last minute you need to […]

Academia shows how tolerant it is of opposing viewpoints (read: NOT LIBERAL) yet again, this time at Colorado College. For liberals, when you spout idiotic drivel that falls in line with liberal orthodoxy, it’s OK. Anyone offended is supposed to just smile and take it. Lip service is given to “diversity” and “tolerance”, but those […]

Well, whaddya know. Apparently, accusing his fellow Vietnam war vets of raping, murdering, electrocuting, dismembering, torturing, mutilating, etc., innocent civilians was all because he just cared so gosh darn much. He wanted to bring about a policy change, darn it, and smearing his fellow soldiers was the best way to do it. It’s just too […]

I didn’t write about Absolut Vodka’s idiotic reconquista ad — Michelle covered that topic thoroughly — but needless to say, like most Americans I thought it was Absolut Bullshit. Many Mexicans already feel like the United States is their land which we owe to them anyways — as much as liberals like to deny that […]

Feminists like to talk a lot about how women are exactly equal to men, and should be equal to them in every profession, even the “manly” ones. Well, AG Clifton from Twelve Pounds of Fury has a perspective on what that’s really like that’s pretty refreshing: The LAPD is in the process of training its […]

Oliver Stone is making a new movie… about President Bush! Woohoo! Director Oliver Stone has set James Cromwell to play George Herbert Walker Bush and Ellen Burstyn to play former first lady Barbara Bush in “W,” a drama about the formative years of their son, President George W. Bush. Josh Brolin is playing the title […]
