Original post at 73wire.com Via YouTube–Alan Dershowitz crossed party lines and endorsed Republican Joel Pollak: rebuking the Obama agenda and fellow Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky in Illinois of all places.:  I have to admit, this is impressive from Dershowitz as he clearly recognizes the dire straits this country is in and he makes it known.:  If […]

 

“Eat Shit and Die, ‘Blue Commie Texan’”

I can’t recommend Melanie Phillips’ new book enough: The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth, and Power. Those of us on the side of right are endlessly smacking down the upside-down destroyers of America. Phillips writes that the radical left possesses an “infallible” sense of certainty through which no amount of […]

 

Guantanamo Prison Will Stay Open

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 […]

What Really Happened with the ‘Doc Fix’ and the Current Political Chess Game

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed that she was indeed using our doctors as political leverage by not passing the Senate version of the doc fix–triggering a 21.2% pay reduction in the Medicare fee schedule.:  When Pelosi said she would not vote on the standalone version of the doc fix and blamed the Republicans, I […]

Updates on the David Weigel ‘JournoList’ Scandal – UPDATED!! Weigel Joins MSNBC!

Ann Althouse has been raising some big questions about the secretive JournaList. For example, “The entire Journolist archive needs to be made public.” Now there’s an initiative to raise money and buy the JournoList archives so Althouse can open up that can of worms. Meanwhile, Weigel offered a “weasely” explanation for the affair at Big […]

 

Will the Democrats Apologize for Not Creating a Budget? (VIDEO)

It’s rather shocking that this Democrat Congress — well known by now for their spend-and-borrow tactics — would fail to produce even a budget outline for the coming year. Do the American people not deserve a little direction on where their hard earned taxpayer dollars will be going, and in what vague amounts? The most […]

 

Robert C. Byrd, Longest Serving KKK Leader in U.S. Senate, Dead at 92

Top Note: See also Ed Driscoll’s earlier entry, “Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) Dead at 92.” Thought this was worth cross-posting, in any case. ********** God rest his soul. At the video, former Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, in a 2007 floor speech, decries as barbaric Michael Vick’s dog-fighting operation. Byrd was 92 and the longest […]

 

A Victory For The Second Amendment…For Now

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 […]

 

Obama Has His Priorities Straight at G8/G20 and Ditches Press Pool (again)

Yet another embarrassing moment for the United States as President Obama had this to say as he exited his helicopter: When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the […]

 

Radical Feminist Hate Mail of the Day

It’s not hate mail, actually (but close enough). It’s a STFU Tumblog, “STFUSexists.” And I guess that includes me, and I’m targeted for extra STFU-ing for my neocon-ishness. See, “Another neo-con with a woman problem ? …“: Now, I’m not expecting much from someone with a No-Bama icon who thinks that Melanie Griffith has written […]

 

Just Lower Our Taxes

At Moonbattery, “Meanwhile, Back at the Joe Biden ‘Recovery Summer’ Tour,” and Gateway Pundit, “Eat Up… Joe Biden Gets Gets Custard in Face When Business Owner Tells Him: “Lower Our Taxes”” (via Memeorandum): Joe “Bite-Me” Biden traveled to Wisconsin yesterday to campaign with far left Progressive Russ Feingold (D-WI). Smokin Joe ordered a custard at […]

 


Economists like to kvetch about “barriers to entry.”

So I’ve been keeping vague track of global economic news lately. In particular, like so many others, I’ve been kind of watching — catch as catch can — the Greek economic…thing. Their bond market, in particular, is doing poorly. I know that, because I read this: Greek Bond Risk Jumps to Record on Signs of […]

 

Medicare cuts avoided…world saved…for now.

Phew! President Barack Obama has signed a bill that temporarily spares doctors from a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments. One could also say it “temporarily spares” patients from that 21 percent cut. Doctors will lose business, naturally, if they stop taking Medicare patients because of the low pay, but they’ll still have business. Medicare […]

 


Brewer to Obama: ‘We Will Not Surrender Any Part of Arizona’

Well, this is getting to be an Arizonapalooza weekend! See, “Mexico Represents Single Biggest Drug Trafficking Threat to U.S.,” and “Most Illegal Immigrants Smuggling Drugs, Says Gov. Jan Brewer.” And here’s this awesome clip from Gov. Brewer: Cross-posted from American Power.

 

Most Illegal Immigrants Smuggling Drugs, Says Gov. Jan Brewer

The Arizona Guardian reports that, “Brewer advisor says “missteps” were made on immigration claims” Still, anything Gov. Jan Brewer says will “ignite controversy.” As long as any official speaks bluntly and honestly about the crisis, media types will repudiate those remarks as extremist. At NYT, “Arizona: Governor Ignites Controversy With Remarks on Drug Mules.” (Via […]

 

While the Weigel ‘JournoList’ Scandal Dominated the Blogosphere…

…I mostly took to Twitter! And it’s funny how when you think you have a pretty high-impact post and it gets little love after all. Or maybe it wasn’t that hot to begin with. Folks can check it out, “World Cup Gives Leftists (Another) Chance to Root Against America.” (I’ll be rooting for USA tomorrow, […]

 

Top 20 Hottest Conservative Women In The New Media Hate Mail

Needless to say our traffic increased exponentially after John posted his Top 20 List of Hottest Conservative Women in New Media. With the traffic came a wonderful barrage of hate mail, emphasis on the word hate. So we decided to share some of the more colorful and “tolerant” messages from our lovely liberal fanboys (or […]

 

Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Hey, Hey, Hey, Good-Bye Dave Weigel

One of the more irritating things about mainstream media outlets is that they love to hire liberals, but then, for “balance,” they like to hire a matching “conservative,” too, but not just any conservative. No, they want to hire a supposed “conservative” who tells liberals whatever they want to hear about conservatives. Because the Left […]

 

A Note To Chris Matthews: Why Rush Limbaugh Is a Success

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 […]

 

Greenpeace Fights for Last Blue Fin Tuna

I never trust the estimates of impending fish population collapse, considering how little respect for truth environmentalists so eminently demonstrate. Still, this article’s pretty interesting. At NYT, “Tuna’s End“: THERE ARE TWO reasons that a mere fish should have inspired such a high-strung confrontation reminiscent of Greenpeace’s early days as a defender of whales. The […]

 

Census Workers Sensing Danger?

I in no way condone acts of violence or threats of violence toward Census workers, or anyone else, but this article over the weekend really got to me. An unexpected result for some census takers: the wrath of irate Americans Since they began making follow-up house calls in early May, census takers have encountered vitriol, […]

 

Governor Jan Brewer Letter to President Barack Obama on Border Security

I’ve posted this viddy before, but considering the ongoing debate, it’s even more hilarious. Check KOLD News 13 Phoenix, “Brewer to Obama: Let’s See Specifics on Border Plan“: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is telling President Barack Obama that she’s anxious for details on how his administration’s plans to tighten border security will apply to Arizona. […]

 

My Take on the David Weigel ‘JournoList’ Scandal

I think I’ll just provide the link to my entry on this story, “What’s Up With David Weigel? Now We Know.” Right Wing News is a pretty big place, well-established. Don’t know if some of my co-bloggers here are friends with David Weigel, etc. It’s nothing over the top, but until I know otherwise … […]
