If You Were A Democrat In Congress, What Would Your First Domestic Priority Be?

Health care reform? Cap-and-trade? Or, perhaps, economic recovery and jobs? On Thursday, Obama’s economic adviser Christina Romer told Congress the administration agrees with other analysts that the economy will grow in the third quarter, and beyond. Even so, she said, “unemployment is likely to remain at its severely elevated level,” and noted expectations that few […]

 

Welcome To Political Hell, Democrats: Republicans Trusted More On Every Top Issue

Holy switcherolli, Batman. Barack Obama has flipped the political world upside down for the Democrats.

Here are the key numbers from […]

 

Communist Truther Van Jones’ Green Graft Legacy Lives On

Remember Van Jones, the self-described communist and “rowdy black nationalist” who admitted to having been “radicalized in jail”? Comrade Obamao set him up as Green Jobs Czar and gave him a staggering $60 billion of our money to create green jobs, leaving even Newsreek to wonder where the money went when no one could even […]

 

House Speaker Lacks Democrat Votes for ‘Public Option’

Despite assurances to the contrary, Politico.com is reporting that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D, Calif.) does not have the votes to include the so-called public option in the House version of Obamacare making it more likely that a “trigger” will be included instead. Politico also reports that Obama himself announced support for the […]

 

Senate Defeats Dem Leader Reid’s ‘Doc Fix’ Plan

Roll Call is reporting that the $250 billion extension to the Medicare physician payment program was defeated in the Senate today. Reid couldn’t even get a simple majority losing in a 47 to 53 vote. Naturally Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev) blames the Republicans. Reid complained that the loss was a result of “activities […]

 


The Tabloid Trash Beat: Rielle Hunter Vs. Elizabeth Edwards

Normally, the National Enquirer is not the most reliable publication in the world. However, they have been all over the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story to such an extent that they obviously have an inside source. So, when I saw a story like this on the front of the Enquirer, it was a gimmie that I […]

 

Democrats Still Against Transparency in Congress

According to McClatchy news, in the Democrat’s 2006 campaign book, in the “integrity” section, the Democratic leadership vowed that legislation would be posted online for 24 hours before consideration of the final versions of any bill. That promise coupled with their president’s claims that he’d post all bills online for five whole days — that’s […]

 

For 39%, Government Option Support Depends On Details

I guess they will not support it, since there really are no details While the majority of Americans appear to have made up their minds on healthcare reform, 39% say their support for a final healthcare bill will depend on how the details still being worked out in Congress are resolved. The finding comes from […]

 

Illinois Rep. Biggert Introduces Defund ACORN Bill

U.S. Representative Judy Biggert (R, Hinsdale, IL) introduced legislation last week intended to prevent misuse of federal housing counseling funds. “It’s abundantly clear that ACORN and its affiliates cannot be trusted as a federally certified entity,” said Biggert, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. “Given the group’s clear links to illegal and […]

 

Administration Aggrandizes President, Demonizes Others

Look, it’s entirely fair to criticize the Bush Administration for not adapting our military strategy to meet changing circumstances in Afghanistan, but it’s unbecoming for the incumbent Administration to act as if they’re the first ones to ask critical questions while the previous one did not: One of President Obama’s top advisers said Sunday the […]

 

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed. The problem raised in the headline, “Healthcare bills lack protections against treatment denials, experts say,” isn’t the only problem the story touches […]

 

ACORN Destroying Republican Voter Registration Forms

Not long ago, Pam Geller told the story of an ACORN office in Florida that had destroyed all the Republican voter registration forms it had gotten during a 2008 voter registration drive. Geller had a first-hand account of this crime from one Fathiyyah Muhammad, an Obama voter that is a registered Republican. She is also […]

 

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region. President […]

 

The Neverending Campaign Ramps Up A Notch

Childlike Democrats: Call my name! Obama, please! Save us! Obama: All right, I’ll do it. I’ll save you. I will do what I dream! Bastian: FUNDRAISING! Even though the midterm elections are still a year away, President Barack Obama and the White House have started to unleash the fundraising force of the administration for candidates […]

 

Even SEIU Says ACORN is Toxic

In an amusing case of the pot calling the kettle, Anna Burger, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), told Representative Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) that the SEIU had dumped ACORN during a Sept. 30 hearing conducted by the House Financial Services Committee. Apparently Mrs. Burger felt that ACORN was too toxic for […]

 

Meg Whitman’s Extreme Pro-Abortion Views

A few weeks ago Jon Fleischman of FlashReport.org was fortunate enough to snag an interview with gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. But the results of one segment of the meeting left him admittedly non-plussed, or as he termed it “unnerved.” Fleischman was aghast to learn of just how extreme Meg Whitman’s views on abortion really are. […]

 

Obama’s Newest Racemongering Judge: California’s Edward Chen

President Obama has gone out of his way to “diversify” the federal bench with his spate of nominations of various minorities chief of which was his successful seating of the “wise Latina,’ Sonia Sotomayor, on the Supreme Court. Obama’s nominees* for 10 district court openings include four African-Americans, three Asian-Americans, one Latino and four women. […]

 

What Does It Cost To Eat With Barry?

It turns out, quite a bit. After Obama’s quick, 4 hour tour of New Orleans, which angered many residents and supporters for its briefness and for waiting 9 months since he was coronated, as well as angering residents of the other states affected by Katrina, Dear Leader took to the air, spewing massive amounts of […]

 

CNN: ‘Disingenuous Insurance Companies’ or Disingenuous Reporting?

On October 13 CNN’s John Roberts conducted an interview with purported “insurance industry insider” Wendell Potter who claimed that the disingenuous actions of the insurance industry made him “decide to become a critic of the industry.” Mr. Potter is a former head of Public Relations of the CIGNA Corp and Humana, Inc. but he is […]

 

Brave Mom Fights Forced Unionization and Gov. Quinn

We’ve been reporting to you of the outrageous under-the-radar actions of Governor Pat Quinn and his Executive Order 9-15. This EO both handed the private information of Illinois citizens to unions and set up a payoff for his union supporters by automatically unionizing hundreds of Illinois home healthcare workers whether they want to be unionized […]

 

ChickenHawk Arianna Huffington Calls For Biden To Resign

This could get fun Joe Biden met with CENTCOM chief Gen. David Petraeus this morning to talk about Afghanistan — an issue that has pushed the vice president into the spotlight, landing him on the cover of the latest Newsweek. I have an idea for how he can capitalize on all the attention, and do […]

 

So Much For “The Content Of His Character” In Baltimore

If the mayor isn’t black then that’s unacceptable to the Maryland NAACP. You see the present mayor (who is black) is about to be convicted of seven theft-related charges will have to vacate the office. That has put the state NAACP in a low hover. Apparently they don’t want the governor appointing someone that doesn’t […]

 

Healthcare Conference Call With Representatives Shadegg and Rodgers

Today at 4:30PM eastern a blogger conference call was held by Representatives John Shadegg (R, AZ) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R, WA). The subject we spoke about was that of House Republican’s ideas and problems on healthcare reform issues in both the Senate and the House. The following are my notes of the call, any […]

 

ABC News: Global Warming ‘Helps Taliban, al Qaeda’

Increasingly, the Old Media appears to be engaged in satire and here is another story that could serve as an example of it. ABC News has published a purportedly serious story claiming that global warming “helps” the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and terrorists all over the world. For ABC, writer Bill Blakemore makes […]

 

Gas From Shale Oil Would Solve Energy Problems

While we pay $zillions to terror-sympathetic Muslim regimes for oil, we are sitting on all the energy we will need for decades: Advances in technology for extracting gas from shale and methane beds have quickened dramatically, altering the global balance of energy faster than almost anybody expected. Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, said proven natural […]

 

Maine, Tennessee, Massachusetts Universal Healthcare Plans a Bust

Both President Obama and the Democratic Congress have ignored the mess that three states have made of their economy and tax burden by attempting to create a public option and/or universal healthcare. Tennessee has its TennCare program, Maine has tried a “public option” program, and Massachusetts has its RomenyCare system that promises healthcare for all. […]

 

Another of Obama’s Radical Appointees

The Old Media wholly ignored the story, but one of the extremists that Barack Obama appointed as a so-called czar in his government had to step down when the full extent of his un-American radicalism was exposed on the Internet. Obama’s “green czar,” Van Jones, resigned when it was revealed how anti-American his rhetoric was […]

 

Say, Remember When Dems Complained About Protecting The Homeland?

How about this gem from Queen Nancy? We must remain focused on the greatest threat to the security of the United States, the clear and present danger of terrorism. We know what we must do to protect America, but this Administration is failing to meet the challenge. Democrats have a better way to ensure our […]

 

Smosska’s ACORN Smoke Screen

-By Warner Todd Huston This is an update on a story about a company in South Carolina named Smosska that I covered back in July. At this point, it seems beyond question that Smosska is a sham organization that was set up by ACORN in order to hide “community activism” behind a false front in […]
