Hamid Mir is a Pakistani journalist and editor. He is the only journalist to have interviewed Osama Bin Laden after 9-11. I was interested in this because I have written about how Obama has ordered more drone attacks since taking office than George W. Bush did during his entire two terms. In his first year […]

(LifeNews.com) — The Centers for Disease Control has reported that two more women in the United States than previously thought have died from using the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug. The news comes just days after the 10-year anniversary of the FDA’s approval of the abortion drug. The new information comes from a CDC report […]

Pres. Obama sat down with Rolling Stone Magazine . Here are some interesting excerpts followed by my observations: How do you feel about the fact that day after day, there’s this really destructive attack on whatever you propose? Does that bother you? Has it shocked you? I don’t think it’s a shock. I had served […]

Peggy Noonan getting it: I see two central reasons for the tea party’s rise. The first is the yardstick, and the second is the clock. First, the yardstick. Imagine that over at the 36-inch end you’ve got pure liberal thinking–more and larger government programs, a bigger government that costs more in the many ways that […]

It’s a great piece over at World News and World Report . But for obvious reasons, I REALLY like it (emphasis mine). To the extent that it is run by anyone, the Tea Party movement is–like all great social movements–largely run by women. Many of the movement’s most important political figures, like former Alaska Gov. […]

The US Census reported that 49.3% (per 1000) of black women had abortions in 2005. Almost 5%.* The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, would be so proud. *Corrected

What if some political candidates ran that didn’t fit the polished smooth criteria of what we have come to know, and won? What if they were just like us? What if they had family problems? What if they had had trouble paying their bills? What if they did crazy things in high school? Yet they […]

Please go to “Breaking The Bonds Of Tyranny” to donate! Please support all of Kevin’s projects. He is amazing. Go here and look through his projects and click the “support TBS projects” button. I love them all, but the “Forever Family” project is especially touching. Forever Family: We work to find inner city children their […]

To say these are interesting times in politics is a vast understatement. I am loving it. Lots of juicy stuff today. Let’s get to it. It looks like First Lady Michelle Obama doesn’t really like the job: (CBS/AP) French first lady and former model Carla Sarkozy-Bruni is quoted as saying in a new book that […]

Oh Lord, You should have been on twitter tonight when Christine O’Donnell beat long time GOP incumbent Mike Castle in Delaware for the GOP nomination. It was a free for all between Republican establishment types and Tea Party types. I’m not joking. If the twitter feed had been all of us in a room, we […]

Have you noticed how Pres. Obama has made a distinct effort to make John Boehner a household name? There is a reason for that. He wants to undermine him before he becomes Speaker Of The House. This is why Obama’s Press Secretary Gibbs happily tweeted a New York Times propaganda piece on Boehner. The article […]

What a weekend! I always say I will blog when I’m at an event, but then I get too busy. Stick with me on this post. Lots of good stuff and pics at the end! I arrived in D.C. on Thursday for BlogCon 2010. Conferences aren’t usually that interesting, but this one was. We went […]

Of all of Christ’s teachings, this one was the most radical, and the most difficult for all Christians. Love your enemies. Wow. That’s a tough one. Sometimes it’s hard to love your relatives, much less those you don’t like. On the anniversary of 9-11, that teaching is especially hard. How are we supposed to love […]

I am loving this story. Maybe, just maybe, the GOP is finally understanding that in order to really reach out to minorities you don’t just offer similar values and beliefs, but you make sure they understand that they are a part of us as well. GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott on Thursday morning announced that […]

Some days you just want to scream. The Arizona law is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. It mirrors federal law, and the only reason Arizona needs the law is because the federal government refuses to do it’s job. But now the Obama administration is using the law to say to the international community, “Hey, […]

I was taking a “wait and see” approach to Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in D.C. this past Saturday. Happily, it was pretty much what I expected. Beck has become deeply religious in the past decade, after hitting rock bottom in his life as a drug addict many years ago. He knows what it is […]

On June 17th Vice President Biden joined Robert Gibbs at the regular news briefing to talk about the “Summer of Recovery.” He said, “more people are going to be put to work this summer.” He also said private-sector jobs will make up the “vast bulk” of the jobs created by the stimulus act. Now, here […]

Victor Davis Hanson at his finest: Note that the elite, secretly at least, understand that no one should take them all that seriously. A Guantanamo was a Stalag under Bush but now a mere complex dilemma, and not to be shut down under Obama (e.g., one of those released terrorists might show up in Brentwood). […]

No. But apparently 18% of Americans think he is. Only 34% think he is a Christian. 43% say they do not know what Obama’s religion is. Even among just Democrats, only 46% say Obama is a Christian. The MSM is falling over itself trying to lay blame at the usual suspects, Republicans, Fox News, and […]

From Mediate: A predominantly Muslim high school football team in Dearborn, Michigan practices from 11pm to 4am during the daytime-fasting month of Ramadan. Since they practice at night, the players can eat and drink before, during, and after practice. Fordson High’s coaches realized that kids doing two-a-day practices in the August heat without eating or […]

Let’s clear up a few things. I follow the gentleman who is the official twitterer account of Park51 (The Islamic Community Center). According to him a recent Haaretz story that claimed the owners were abandoning the project is untrue. Also, he claims the recent comments by Hamas does represent them, and has no bearing on […]

Yesterday I commented about the permanent black underclass created by the Democrats with their social programs. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. There is no better example of that than the following pictures of an estimated 30,000 people showing up in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday to get a public housing application. Yes, […]

I love it! This is being sponsored by GOProud. They had a booth at CPAC across from Smart Girl Politics, so I got to know the Executive Director, Jimmy LaSalvia. A great guy. There are many who aren’t thrilled with GOProud, but there are many who are. The libertarian wing of our party is thrilled […]

An activist judge in California overturned Prop. 8 (banning gay marriage) yesterday to no one’s surprise. Most everyone actively involved on both sides of this issue, can’t seem to see the forest for the trees. Reasonable people can compromise. But there doesn’t seem to be any reasonable people in charge on this issue. Here’s newsflash […]

The planned Islamic Center near Ground Zero is a disgrace, and a slap in the face to all those who died in the World Trade Centers. For the owners not to see that is also a disgrace. Naturally those at Salon.com see those opposed as participating in “bigotry,” because that is the go to smear […]

As you have probably heard, Chelsea Clinton got married this past weekend. As I suspected, the wedding cost anywhere from $2 million dollars to $5 million dollars. Even at the low end of those numbers, that’s 20 times the cost of Jenna Bush’s wedding, which cost around $100,000. It doesn’t bother me how much Chelsea […]

One thing I love about twitter is that you can find some great blogs that you never would have found otherwise. Yesterday I found Random Alien Musings. I noticed this post on MLK called “Livin’ The Dream.” I thought I would share his thoughts. Kunta Evans has this to say about his black community: The […]

I got really sad yesterday. Really sad. Writing about politics is never really uplifting, but I don’t like false narratives, and I feel compelled to fight against them. Sometimes I get excited, frustrated, disappointed, or furious. But I rarely get sad. But I was sad. This is why. I was 8 years old in Jackson, […]

Let’s hope we all learned the lesson we should have from the Sherrod affair (see post below if you aren’t familiar with it). The lesson is that both sides need to stop with the deeming those that disagree with them as “racist.” The left needs to stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. […]

By now you have probably heard of USDA’s Shirley Sherrod’s video where it appears she is admitting to not helping a white farmer just because he was white. The YouTube clip shows a portion of her March 27 speech at an NAACP banquet. This comes on the heels of the NAACP continuing the false narrative […]
