When I first saw Steve Poizner campaign in January he spoke after Chuck DeVore and, with little interest, some folks starting wandering away. This pic’s from the Irvine tax day tea party in April. More at the Los Angeles Times, “GOP Candidates Put Personal Touch on Final Pitches.” Also, at Inland Empire News, “Polls Give […]

It doesn’t seem that hard to both honor the dead and cherish our exceptionalism, but of course it’s President Reagan: “Remarks at a United States-France Ceremony Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, D-day June 6, 1984.” I admire how the video editor made sure to include Reagan’s approach the podium. No arrogance or […]

It happened about 3 or 4 times. Each time I mentioned that I’d driven out from California for yesterday’s “Phoenix Rising” event, I got a hugely enthusiastic thank you. Folks really appreciated that I’d taken the time to rally with them in support of SB 1070. That’s Tony Katz at the viddy, by the way. […]

Another one of those violent, hateful Tea Party Events the left hates:

With Memorial Day weekend signifying a semi-defeat of the Obama Administration as they admitted offering a position to Democrat Senatorial candidate Joe Sestak in exchange for dropping out of his race against Democrat Golden Boy Arlen Specter, before the event could even attempt to reach the news archives a related admission was raised.:  Former House […]

The Miranda Rights and what they entail has been a topic of both legal and political debate.:  However, recently there has been a development in the aspect of when the right to speak is waived.:  In the recent Supreme Court decision involving the criminal case of convicted murderer Van Chester Thompkins’ questioning, the Court determined […]

I’m getting on the road for today’s “Phoenix Rising” rally in Phoenix. Check here for information: “Phoenix Rising Rally at Arizona State Capitol.” I should have a full photo-report tomorrow morning and will update here. Also, at LAT (FWIW): Tina McClendon was finally surrounded by her own people. The 39-year-old postal worker stood in a […]

I just voted here. Below is a screenshot following my vote. If you can’t see it, this is after close to half a million votes. Yet the administration treats Arizona worse than overseas enemies. Makes sense. Cross posted at All American Blogger.

He’s a nice guy, but GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner advocated far left-wing positions on a range of issues in his 2004 campaign for California Assembly. The document is here: “2004 Poizner for Assembly Policy Positions.” The Los Angeles Times obtained the report. See, “Document shows Poizner reversed course on public services for illegal immigrants,” […]

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 […]

After starting to settle into the idea that the issue regarding their offer to Democratic Candidate Joe Sestak was starting to see the road to the archives and out of the current events sections of newspapers and news programs, The White House awoke to another hit. Current Colorado Democratic Candidate Andrew Romanoff, it has been […]

She’s diplomatic at the clip below, but it’s pretty clear that the president’s not too thrilled about dealing with border security at this point. He’s literally overwhelmed with the Gulf crisis, which, combined with his cluelessness, is hammering the administration. Anyway, the buzz says he left her hanging. See Fox News, “Arizona Governor Gets Few […]

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 […]

Via Drudge headlines, former President George W. Bush states that he would use waterboarding again if he had to. : The old adage “hindsight is always 20/20” comes to mind, doesn’t it.:  Except Bush would NOT change his decision and that is real leadership. “Yeah, we water-boarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said of the terrorist who […]

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!

I’m sure conservatives saw Maeve Reston’s piece on Monday, “DeVore, Fiorina actively court ‘tea party’ vote.” She’s not so much the tea partier, so the main point, really, is that Fiorina’s well-financed for her television ad campaign with one week to go. Pumped up by her own fortune, the cash surge’ll only pad the huge […]

A recent USA Today article discussed how there is a great disconnect between American families and military families on the holiday which should result in immense thankfulness to our nation’s soldiers.:  As it summarizes the issue with Paul Rieckhoff of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America stating “The average American family…goes to a barbecue […]

I put on my political scientist’s hat the other night when writing about Israel’s commando raid on the Gaza “humanitarian peace” flotilla. The most shocking thing to me is not that Israel troops were attacked by the Palestinian thugs on board, but that military commanders sent Israeli troops into harm’s way with paintball guns. Yo, […]

John reported earlier that generic ballot tests look potentially devastating for Democrats in November.:  Here’s more to fuel: that impression.:  Rasmussen Reports has consistently released congressional generic surveys showing Republicans leading by a significant margin.:  But, Rasmussen’s numbers have also been called into question because they routinely show Republicans faring much better than other polling firms […]

I stood with Arizona, but my fellow patriots missed their home-state senator. See, “Stand with Arizona — Where was John McCain?“: You can’t make this up: Cross-posted from American Power.

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 […]

This is really distasteful, almost sickening actually. Local NBC12 coverage of the Phoenix reconquista march on Saturday. Watch the full video at Newsbusters. Especially loathsome is the comments toward the end of the clip, where reporter Rachel Stockman indicates that the reconquistas were “concerned” that some SB 1070 supporters “were going to show up here […]

Well, here comes this morning’s Los Angeles Times to confirm — once again — the main point I raised in my coverage of this weekend’s reconquista protest in Phoenix. See, the Times‘ poll, “Californians Split on Arizona’s Illegal Immigration Crackdown“: California voters are closely divided over the crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona, with sharp […]

Frank Rich has never seen an act by President Obama of which he didn’t approve or, if approval wasn’t really credibly possible, anything for which he couldn’t find an excuse. The oil spill is no exception: Whatever Obama’s failings, he is infinitely more competent at coping with catastrophe than his predecessor. President Bush’s top disaster […]

And won’t that then lead to waiting lists, or even patients unable to find a doctor? Unable to get the medical care they need? I thought government-run health care was the solution! The Senate adjourned Thursday evening without voting to prevent a 21.3 percent cut to the payments doctors receive under Medicare. The payment is […]

Why is Steve Benen so worried about an Obama impeachment? What does he think Obama has done? He writes: It’s tempting to think of impeachment as a far-fetched, silly idea, barring actual impeachable offenses. But the more I think about it, the more I remember this is the House Republican caucus we’re dealing with. They’re […]

Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin received a whole lot of criticism this week for the terrible crime she committed of being-spied-on. My d’jever-notice-moment comes from reading the late, but now lengthy, history of Palin criticism. Ever notice that with ninety-nine percent of it, if you take out all the occurrences of “Sarah Palin” and […]
