You gotta love how political writers, who see themselves as completely unbiased as Politico writers do, miss the obvious. Taake Mark Penn’s observation on the devastating Obama poll numbers: By far, the most alarming numbers this poll presents for President Barack Obama are the reelection figures; against a generic Republican candidate, he loses by 5 […]

You may or may not have noticed that I was gone this last week. Good grief, you miss one week with this administration, and you miss one more week of our rights being eroded. Now, let’s review all I missed. Well, it looks like Mel Gibson and Bristol Palin have lost their minds. I guess […]

There seems to be quite a few lies being spread about the new standards adopted recently by the Texas State Board of Education. They are addressed here, especially the lies regarding Hispanics. The Hispanics are well represented and honored. If you care about the truth. You need to watch this video:

A few weeks ago I reported on the Texas GOP convention, so I thought it would be interesting to look back at the history of these conventions. On this day in 1854, the Republicans held it’s first state convention. How did this first GOP convention come about? A groundswell of reaction to the pro slavery […]

This is something you might have missed last week, but it is vitially important in understanding this administration’s disconnect with radical Islam. The Fort Hood shooter, the Christmas Day bomber, the Times Square attacker. On May 13, the following exchange occurred at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee: Rep. Lamar Smith (R.,Texas): Do you […]

Coming as no surprise to conservatives, it doesn’t look likely that Pres. Obama will close Gitmo: WASHINGTON — Stymied by political opposition and focused on competing priorities, the Obama administration has sidelined efforts to close the Guantánamo prison, making it unlikely that President Obama will fulfill his promise to close it before his term ends […]

Many on the left cannot stand that Sarah Palin has strong opinions, and is expressing them across this country. It amazes me what they will do to stop free speech when they don’t agree with it. You may have heard about Palin speaking at California University for a fundraiser for their 50 yrs anniversary. Palin […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the Constitution’s “right to keep and bear arms” applies nationwide as a restraint on the ability of the federal, state and local governments to substantially limit its reach. Just as in as with the Washington, DC Heller case in 2008, the ruling was 5-4. The voting […]

Since Chris Matthews of Hardball on MSNBC no longer has that tingle up his leg for Pres. Obama, he has to find something else to tingle about. He is now counting the days until a Republican will come on his show and denounce Rush Limbaugh. No takers yet. I doubt Chris Matthews will ever see […]

In a move that was sure to devastate the coastal region even more, the Obama administration issued a six month moratorium on deepwater drilling. This would be like having a plane crash, and putting a six month moratorium on flying. Luckily for us, a judge in Lousiania has overturned this decision. The Obama administration is […]

Update on the unused boom in Maine. You might remember my post on the excuse for not using the boom was that it didn’t pass their initial quality control test. As I suspected, not only did the Maine boom meet quality standards, it’s actually superior to it’s competition. {Ian] Durham was recently hired by Packgen […]

I think Pres. Obama’s speech last night is best summed up by my 13 year old (who truly has a heart of gold). He said, “I feel sorry for Obama.” I asked why. He said, “Because he can’t seem to do anything right.” That’s not only the feeling for this speech, but it seems to […]

Get this. BP (British Petroleum) has bought search terms related to the gulf oil spill on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. So if you are googling “Gulf oil disaster” or “oil spill,” you will get an ad at the top of the results that directs you to a BP site that provides information on BP’s clean […]

There is an update to the story about the miles of boom that the feds failed to use to protect our coast after the oil spill. Jake Tapper of ABC news (one of the few journalists out there with true journalistic integrity), followed up on the story. First he actually asked Coast Guard Adm. Thad […]

Remember when Gov. Jindal begged for more boom on May 2nd to protect the coast a week after the oil spill? Seems this guy was ready. But as usual, red tape screws up everything. I think we need an answer to the question, why didn’t we use this boom? John Lapoint of Packgen in Auburn, […]

This looks fantastic. “The Lottery.” Truth will win. via Examiner.com: An upsetting new documentary explores the indignities that inner-city blacks and Latinos must endure to get even a distant chance at quality education for their children in a perversely corrupt system as teachers’ unions rape, pillage and plunder failing public schools for Democrat power. It’s […]

If only Bush had listened to rightwing pundits the way Obama listens to leftwing pundits. Then maybe he wouldn’t have spent our money like a drunken Democrat, or tried so hard to compromise with Democrats who had no interest in compromise. First the pundits assail Obama for not coming to the region being hit the […]

If you are a political blog reader, you couldn’t have missed veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas’ remarks about Jews and Israel. A rabbi video taped Helen saying that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and ‘ go home” to Germany and Poland. On Friday Helen apologized for her remarks. She didn’t show […]

Every once in a while you find a Democrat pundit that is willing to turn away from the talking points, and be honest about their own party. Kirsten Powers does that here. When the White House finally had to confirm that they had indeed tried to get Andrew Romanoff out of the Colorado primary with […]

Pres. Obama’s liberal vision for our country is something that will never square with conservatives and their beliefs. But beyond political differences, Obama had a chance to change Washington, and the corrupt way things have been done. On the campaign trail Obama promised us over and over that change was coming, and there would be […]

Listen to Smart Girl Nation! As me and my co-hosts Teri Christoph, and Molly Teichman take on the oil spill, Sestak, Tipper & Al Gore and more!

What a wicked we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” When the White House sent out a carefully worded memo on Friday of a holiday weekend regarding their job offered to Sestak for not running against Specter, they had hoped that that would be that. But so many things don’t add up, not the […]

Let’s talk about the one aspect of this oil spill that no one but Charles Krauthammer has talked about. Why do we drill in the ultra deep of the ocean where no precedent exist for the blow out that happened in the Gulf of Mexico? Why? One word. Environmentalists. This is what is referred to […]

Whenever an administration wants to bury a story, they put it out on a Friday. They hope it will be old news by Monday when people start to pay attention again. The administation got lucky on the Sestak report. It’s also a holiday weekend. It’s no wonder they want it buried: The White House asked […]

In any crisis you can be sure that the opposition party will be critical of the President. But you know the President has a bigger problem when those in his own party start criticizing him: Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said Thursday that President Barack Obama will pay a political price for his lack of visibility […]

The White House has suddenly decided to send 1,200 National Guards to our southwest border. This might seem like welcome news. After all, the border needs all the help it can get. McCain insists it’s not nearly enough. But both of them are wrong. As Charles Krauthammer pointed out on Tuesday night’s Fox News, this […]

Here is an update to the story about the 500 SEIU union thugs who descended upon the personal home of a Bank of America executive, scaring his teenage son, who was alone inside. Nina Easton wonders why they would target Greg Baer, a life long Democrat who worked for the Clinton Treasury Department, and his […]

I haven’t blogged on the oil spill. It looked like BP made some stupid mistakes and they are paying for it. But unfortunately other’s who make a living on the coast are paying the price as well. It seemed to me that everyone, especially the media, was doing everything possible to not bring Obama into […]

So much to be disgusted about today. Let’s start with Texas. The WaPo has an article written by Michael Birnbaum about the “controversial” cirriculum adopted by the Texas Board of Education. Since the article didn’t link to the text they referred to, Ann Althouse decided that she would research it. Turns out there was a […]
