It doesn’t speak well of the New York Times’ layers upon layers of fact-checkers and editors that this paragraph made it to publication. The demonstrators numbered well into the tens of thousands, though the police declined to estimate the size of the crowd. Many came on their own and were not part of an organization […]

President Obama said it: illegal aliens (or immigrants, or “undocumented” immigrants…or workers…pick your euphemism) will not be covered under his health care plan. Actually, they could be, in several different circumstances. But they won’t be. The president said so. They so won’t be covered under ObamaCare, in fact, the U.S. Senate working to take the […]

This is the only YouTube I could find (at the link),: so apologies about the idiotic “tearful rant” title you’ll see there. Thank God for him, Glenn Beck shows his emotion on his sleeve, and it’s not an act. He makes the case that we as Americans have fallen down on the job in constructing new […]

No, really. The South Carolina Republican who yelled “you lie” at President Obama Wednesday night served 31 in the Army and National Guard. Retired as a Colonel. His four sons all serve, too. That hypocritical bastard. Newsweek’s Adam Weinstein writes: Cut the man some slack. He’s passionate! I know this because he told me, in […]

I admit, Rachel Maddow is infuriating. She basically spouts off netroots lies as fact and assumes she’s got some kind of wisdom from on high. It’s always pretty pathetic, but it’s especially bad to hear her attack Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project with a load of distortions and untruths. Maddow claims 9-12 tea parties are politically […]

:  On the same day that President Obama is poised to deliver a key speech to Congress regarding his healthcare plan, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin wrote an editorial in The Wall Street Journal countering the specifics of his proposal. Governor Palin first addresses Obama’s assurance that health care reform will decrease waste and inefficiency: […]

From the Los Angeles Times, “Obama Is Fast Losing White Voters’ Support”: After a summer of healthcare battles and sliding approval ratings for President Obama, the White House is facing a troubling new trend: The voters losing faith in the president are the ones he had worked hardest to attract. New surveys show steep declines […]

I hadn’t heard about this: The campaign finance reform case being argued Wednesday at the Supreme Court is about the tension in federal elections between free speech and government regulation. Another campaign finance reform vs. free speech case. Last time, the Court ruled in favor of free speech. Five to four. This time…well, I don’t […]

A number of polls have shown declining support for the American military mission to Afghanistan. CBS News recently reported that “Four in 10 now say they want U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan decreased …” And CNN survey last week reported that “Fifty-seven percent of Americans … say they oppose the U.S. war in Afghanistan, with […]

Yesterday, I got together with Aaron Klein, author of the The Late Great State of Israel: How Enemies Within and Without Threaten the Jewish Nation’s Survival, for a short interview. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! Now a lot of Americans really don’t understand the roots of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. […]

Given that I never would have predicted the biggest event of 2008 (namely, the media successfully anointing a socialist neophyte as our new president), the merits of my predictions are probably pretty small. Nevertheless, I can’t resist the chance to get in my two cents (which is about all my predictions are worth). Feel free […]

Ever notice that whirlpool of weirdness that envelopes you whenever you hear everyday left-wing people describing the smartness of left-wing politicians? You’re not imagining it. Picking up where she stopped last time we noticed her, Dr. Melissa Clouthier continues her thoughts about common sense, and what she calls “intellectualism,” which I delight in calling other […]

The description of the event the remarks were made at reads, “Heartland Democratic Presidential Forum 12/07 – forum for thousands of community organizers including Gamaliel and ACORN people.” Here’s the vid: (Hat tip: ST reader Denise) I was watching CNN this morning and they were showing clips of an interview they did with ACORN director […]

If I wrote this, or, say, if someone like Michelle Malkin, John Hawkins, Jonah Goldberg, or Charles Krauthammer did, would you wonder if we had completely lost our minds? Manes Julii Caesaris paucis diebus aderant — “O, most bloody sight!” — cum Ioannes McCainus, mavericus et veteranus captivusque Belli Francoindosinini, et Sara Palina, barracuda borealis, […]

First, watch the video in this blog entry at American Thinker. Then let’s talk. Yes, I agree that Philip Berg sounds like a member of the tinfoil hat brigade. And he’s got a rather questionable history, since he’s a Truther. All in all, not a very reliable source. Nevertheless, as I learned in law school, […]

I just got off the radio with Greta of Kiss My Gumbo, the New Orleans radio show/blog that discusses politics and culture in Louisiana (or, as I call it, “the other L.A.”). Greta’s show on 790 WIST in New Orleans goes live on-air on Saturday mornings, and as a consummate egomaniac I assume she scheduled […]

And you aren’t allowed to use the words “hope” or “change”, or any kind of rhetoric. You’re only allowed to use specific examples of specific policies and specific positions he holds. It’s pretty hard, isn’t it? Throughout this entire election cycle, Barack Obama has maintained a carefully crafted image. He’s said himself that he “serve[s] […]

From my brand new article at PajamasMedia on yesterday’s verdict: The Canadian Islamic Congress issued a statement on Friday evening, putting the best spin possible on the outcome. “We are pleased that the tribunal acknowledged the article in question contained ‘numerous factual, historical, and religious inaccuracies about Islam and Muslims’ and that it attempted ‘to […]

What’s Obama’s latest dodge? Oh yeah, he didn’t know Ayers did all those things. Oh wait, that was the last one. Now it’s “I thought he was rehabilitated”. Well watch this [Not Safe for Work – language in one spot]: You know, I have to wonder what the reaction would be if David Duke had […]

Here’s an interesting little mental exercise to try. First, come up with a list of reasons to oppose Sarah Palin. Not her running mate; just her. Think back on everything you’ve heard. Every rationalization. Every supposed scandal. Every little blessed thing. You’re making an exhaustive list, here. From that, eliminate two things that are only […]

Newsbusters again… Gov. Sarah Palin parachuted into a phone interview on the Laura Ingraham show in the last minutes of the program today at about ten minutes to Noon eastern. She urged citizens (and by extension, the media) to demand answers from Barack Obama and Joe Biden about Bill Ayers, ACORN, and Obama’s record of […]

Newsbusters… A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages. This is just one more example of the lax lending laws put into place by Democrats like Barney Frank that have […]

John Stossel snags the forty-third award for the Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL): Everybody talked about the “freeze” in the credit markets, but why, I wonder, were the cable news programs that repeated the credit-freeze mantra pausing for commercials from companies trying to lend me money? He goes on… Ditech and LendingTree […]

Dr. Melissa Clouthier dares — dares! — to make a distinction between the two. Sarah Palin inspires vitriol for many reasons among the smug knobby-headed class. The latest unguarded moment came courtesy David Brooks who called Sarah Palin a “cancer on the party” to a group of writers from The Atlantic. (As AllahPundit points out, […]

Question: During the veep debates, Melissa spoke of Palin’s offering a handshake first as a sign of dominance or power. I work in a high pressure oilfield job. In what other subtle, professional ways can I show my clients that I am the one in control, and that I own the situation? Move with intention. […]
