My all NEW Talk Radio Watch column is now up! Check out FREE audio and webcam highlights from the week in conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and more. Here’s what happened after my deadline: Rush Limbaugh and Bill Clinton are going at it again, over who’s to blame for […]

It was a beautiful day and I had a great time at the Houston Tea Party yesterday. Me and my SmartGirlPolitics buddy, Michelle Lancaster, manned the SGP booth and met lots of wonderful people. Some of the speakers are below. Natalie Arceneaux of The Civil Right, Ted Cruz, and a picture with Kevin Jackson of […]

When Joe Lieberman declared that he was going to run as an:  Independent, I immediately told people he could go that route and win. Here’s what I penned on RWN back on August 10, 2006, the same day that Ned Lamont beat Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary: A Breakdown Of CT. voters according to […]

I miss the swaggering cowboy. He may have been tongue-tied; he may have screwed up with an errant backrub, but the didn’t boy to royalty, he didn’t give embarrassing gifts to allies, he didn’t show the Dalai Lama the back door. He never said to a visiting ally (paraphrased) “I’m gonna go have dinner with […]

It’s Tax Day — you know what means: President Obama is out touting how he’s “saved” you money, which is laughable. It’s been a year of record spending, topped off with the passage of government-run health care. The House Republican Conference debuted this video yesterday, just in time for Tax Day: “Your Taxes, Their Spending”:

What a difference a day makes.:  While the Left: scrambles: to find: soccer schedules for: spring extra-curricular leagues, questions still remain and continue to multiply.: : What we do know is that there was no: Sidwell Friends: soccer: game on Saturday.:  And yes, I know there are other leagues, I’m a mom. So let’s look to other leagues.:  The premier Washington Area Girls Soccer […]

Yesterday, in the New York Times and other media outlets: President Barack Obama secured a promise from President Hu Jintao of China on Monday to join negotiations on a new package of sanctions against Iran, administration officials said, but Hu made no specific commitment to backing measures that the United States considers severe enough to […]

In what is becoming my ongoing series of how racism seems to be defined or mis-used in today’s political landscape, I give you my buddy Zo (whom you have seen here many times). He is best know for his PJTV segments. Here is a taste of what he receives on a daily basis from the […]

Ok, I’ve had it with the left and the media trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. I know it kills you guys that we aren’t racist, but we are not. There hundreds of thousands of us. Are there a few kooks in the mix? Sure. Just as there are in the Democratic party […]

Two years ago I interviewed Sen. John Cornyn at the Capitol. I asked him why we let Democrats control the health care debate (and this was long before the current debate). I said that Republicans should start talking about it right away and take control of the narrative. Cornyn didn’t heed my advice obviously, so […]

Traveling to New Orleans for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference was a fun experience, in many ways because I spent time with some of the folks I interact with online.:  When you are a blogger or work in new media, it’s rare you get to put a face with an email address, Twitter handle or […]

Updated at the bottom: So, let’s talk this one out. The AP reports: About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter’s soccer games in northwest Washington, […]

Love him or hate him, Lieberman has the guts to tell the truth: Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called the administration’s proposal to avoid the term “Islamic extremism” in national security references “absolutely Orwellian and counterproductive.” Lieberman revealed on “Fox News Sunday” that he had sent a letter to the president’s top counterterrorism adviser, […]

I was just thinking of the wisdom of Ike, describing in great detail the freedom/security continuum and all the implications of it, without ever once using the word “continuum.” From there I was reading FrankJ’s proposed Contract With America. I was in the middle of admiring that first point about throwing off a medium-sized building […]

Via Instapundit, a bunch of lefties are making plans to discredit the Tea Parties by pretending to be people they aren’t. This is from CrashTheTeaParty.org: WHO WE ARE: A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons; who constitute the fake […]

So lemme get this straight: President Obama signs several pieces of legislation that push the deficit into historically irresponsible territory; that put the U.S. on a fiscal par with Greece or, worse, California; that threaten our credit rating, and will restrict economic growth for generations to come… …not to mention that these same pieces of […]

How divided this country has become. I have never heard such contempt and sophomoric talk against the American public by their own elected officials in my life. I guess they are learning from Teh One’s great oratory skills and his eloquent use of Alinsky’s tactics. Bart Stupak, who’s true colors are reflected in this video […]

Ed Rollins — former Reagan advisor — thinks maybe so, but I’m not so sure. He writes: Justice John Paul Stevens’ widely anticipated announcement Friday morning of his retirement after 35 years on the court, gives the president and his party another challenge going into the fall elections. Who the president nominates and how ferocious […]

Get off my lawn. A 70 year old Carnation, WA homeowner used his handgun to stop a violent home invader. Police say that the 70 year old man was in his home at about 6 AM when he heard someone lurking outside his home. The homeower reportedly went to the door to investigate, at which […]

Who better to take on the Living Breathing Audacity of Hope, than some guy with a Blog That Nobody Reads who has the audacity to quote himself? Me: Intellectualism has become the readiness, willingness and ability to call dangerous things safe, and safe things dangerous. Me, again: When an education has given you the ability […]

It’s been about three years since I first heard the name Sarah Palin. I remember my Human Events co-worker, John Gizzi, opining on the former Alaska Governor’s long shot chances at the Vice-Presidency in early 2008. She wasn’t even really on the short list.:  Then, I heard she was pregnant and completely ruled her out […]

While the left and the media make a big deal out of a whole lot of nothing with Gov. McDonnell of Virginia and this Confederacy History month issue, maybe we should stop trying to score political points about the past, and focus on the present. Slavery is a stain on our nation’s past. We all […]

Okay, it’s time to update my coverage on the WikiLeaks story. I especially want to emphasize some context that might otherwise get overlooked as developments continue. As I first reported, Julian Assange is a convicted computer hacker and communist activist. His agenda is nothing short of a worldwide delegitimation and destabilization program of the U.S. […]

Bill White’s solutions to education includes targeting homeschoolers. Not a good idea. From Right In Texas: (emphasis mine) White says, “Perry’s claim of 10 percent dropout rate does not include students who continue in school, switch to home schooling, or have no follow up data. These students are not tracked, and the governor does not […]

Michelle’s got a great piece up, “The anti-Stupak Express – and the backlash against Beltway incumbency“: If Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak, who sold his Obamacare vote and his pro-life principles for a cheap piece of paper, thinks voters in Michigan are willing to forgive and forget, he’s sadly mistaken. The Tea Party Express is rolling […]

The following is twitter conversation I had with CNN’s Roland S. Martin. He was upset at Gov. McDonnell’s issuing a proclamation declaring it Confederate History Month in the commonwealth without mentioning slavery. *He had retweeted the Donna Brazile’s tweet that she was outraged that the RNC hadn’t condemned McDonnell. Her tweet said: “RNC Chair should […]

Above the post update: It’s all a joke? Dude just tried to smoke on a plane? 9Wants to Know has learned, the passenger had spent a lot of time in the bathroom and when he came out, an air marshal on the plane smelled smoke and asked the person what he had been doing. The […]

Texas GOP Vote.com reports on disturbing school political propaganda being taught and distributed by Roosevelt High School (NEISD) teacher Barbara Geerdes when she passed out the handout, “Philosophical Differences Between Liberals and Conservatives,” to her AP U.S. Government class. A student in Barbara Geerdes’ AP Government class grew concerned over the teacher’s repeated politicization of […]

David Leonhardt spends about a 1,000 words in the New York Times banging around the edges of what has to be done by government to cut health care costs. Or, as he calls it “In Medicine, the Power of No”. He wonders if we can every really learn to say “no”. And, of course, he’s […]
