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. Government spending encourages people to rely on handouts rather than individual initiative, and the higher taxes to finance the handouts […]

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 […]

Over at the liberal Carpet Bagger Report, they point out, correctly, how meaningless the polls for 2008 contenders are at this stage. To make their point, they posted a Jan 2003 Fox News poll: Joe Lieberman……29% Dick Gephardt……15% John Kerry………..13% John Edwards…….8% Al Sharpton……….5% Howard Dean……..2% Lieberman? Gephardt? Dean at 2%? Kerry in the middle […]

“During its deployment, Cooke’s handful of snipers (the exact number is under wraps) with those 120 kills have accounted for about a fifth of the total known kills of the 1/506th. Meanwhile enemy snipers, though generally the most skilled of the enemy fighters and armed primarily with good 7.62 millimeter Soviet Dragunov sniper rifles, have […]

From the comments section: “Even all the conservative blogs have pretty much judged Iraq lost. The only man who can keep that from being so is Bush: let’s hope he remains dogged to the end.” — CoolCzech I don’t think Iraq is lost at all. Personally, I think we need to: 1) Keep training Iraqi […]

Estimates on the number of illegal immigrants in the US generally range between 12-20 million. Are all of those illegal Hispanics? No, but the overwhelming majority of them are. Now, in the last election, only 30 percent of Hispanics voted for the GOP. Of course, legal Hispanics as a whole would be more assimilated and […]

The fact that a story like this is out there tells you that Bush isn’t being violent or aggressive enough to scare our enemies: “The Sunday Times reported that Syria is expected to demand American help in securing the return of the Golan Heights from Israel as the price of cooperation over Iraq. Ayman Abdel […]

The incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charles Rangel, is pushing a draft again: “Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year.

In my morning-after election analysis, I noted that it would be very difficult for the Republicans to take the House back in 2008 but that the Senate was well within grasp if the GOP got their act together. I wrote that without actually breaking down the races, though. Chris Cillizza has and it does not […]

John Fund looks at the efforts by proponents of affirmative action to try to block the amendment banning the use of discrimination by race, sex, or color in government contracts or school admissions.
