Most Americans would really like to not be unemployed right now, but none more than Gulf drillers, who, following months upon months of bureaucracy are still sitting, twiddling their thumbs, not drilling anything, while the Obama Administration’s panel of experts decides whether their industry is safe enough. But just in case you were wondering whether […]

Mullah crazypants wants to hold a pro-sharia rally in front of the White House.

Just for fun: When Republicans win legal elections and then advance legislation by following all appropriate laws and rules, that’s tyranny. When Democrats subvert the system by ignoring a legal obligation to appear on the Senate floor and mobs take over the State Capitol in an attempt to intimidate the Legislature, that’s democracy. Got it. […]

Couple crowd shots: Thanks to the lady who was standing on the concrete railing for that second one. On Thursday, a group called American Majority decided to counter-protest the mega-union-protests taking place daily in and around Wisconsin’s state capitol.

Pro-life activists exposed systemic abuses at Planned Parenthood. The media was outraged. In Planned Parenthood offices all over America, activists pretending to be a pimp and an underage girl taped employees giving them advice on obtaining illegal abortions so they could get back into the sex trade as quickly as possible without running afoul of […]

Mr. Herman Cain is ready to be President. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at CPAC, and I was very impressed. Like Gov. Chris Christie, Mr. Cain is blunt and honest. This is what I think is crucial right now. We need a leader that is willing to tell us the truth, not just […]

In all the years that I have been blogging, this might be the most important post I write. That is how strongly I feel about this. I think all of you who read me know my concern over the plight of the black family. With 70% of black babies born into unwed homes, and with […]

In case you have been living under a rock, Chris Christie is the Republican Governor of New Jersey who is known for his blunt honesty. He had confronted the teacher union bosses in New Jersey, and he turned things around in a state that was in a fiscal crisis. He says the things most politician […]

If you are not familiar with the Texas Senate race, Kay Bailey Hutchinson is giving up her Senate seat in 2012. Michael Williams, our Railroad Commissioner is running for that seat.

I am rather famously not a fan of Debbie Schlussel, so you may want to take this with a grain of salt, but she seems to be thrilled about the sexual assault on Lara Logan that occurred in Egypt. You’re probably thinking, ‘No way, Hawkins! You’re just saying this because you don’t like her!” Okay, […]

Ed Morrisey of HotAir interviews Richard Dreyfus, who I got to talk to later. If you have ever wondered what my lovely co-hosts on SmartGirl Nation Radio looks like, here they are. They are as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside. Teri Christophe and Molly Teichman. Me and Tammy Bruce. I […]

I have heard Herman Cain speak on mulitple occasions now, and every time it gets better. :  One thing he has repeated, however, is the idea that when liberals try to answer a question, they are guilty of S.I.N. Tim Gray explains what Cain means: “S” stands for “Shifting the blame.” When a conservative points […]

CPAC is kind of like Christmas for conservatives without the presents. We all get together with our friends. We eat, drink, and care about our country. Together. This is my third CPAC, and every time I come back more committed to the conservative cause. Every time I come back with more love for my country. […]

I’ve got a huge roundup (with video): “Now it turns out the Muslim Brotherhood debate is becoming one of the bigger stories to emerge from CPAC.” But this really just about sums things up, “Video: ACU’s Suhail Khan declares that there is no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States“: More at Memeorandum as well.

At Marathon Pundit, “Allen West closes out CPAC, calls for “The dawn of a New America.” And previously, a photo opportunity with Congressman West. A very nice man, and a privilege to meet him.

Joshua Goldberg’s sudden death, at age 43, has really saddened me. I feel as if I’ve lost a friend — not a best friend, because we weren’t that close, but a friend nevertheless. What’s funny, though, is that I never actually met Joshua. I never talked to him on the phone. I never even saw […]

It’s not just that Wisconsin stands atop the football world, or that Wisconsin is quickly ascending to the top of the political world. It’s that Wisconsin’s CEO has what’s commonly known as “a pair:” Walker budget plan would limit state unions to negotiating only on salaries Madison – Gov. Scott Walker wants to help fix […]

I know, I know, you’re shocked by the Forbes report via the BBC A new survey of the “most miserable cities” in the US suggests that five of the 10 worst are in California. The BBC’s Peter Bowes considers whether life in the Golden State has really got that bad. For many people, life should […]

I’m hardly a fan of Ron Paul, but no doubt he’s a top CPAC newsmaker. The Hill has a report, “Ron Paul slams Patriot Act, backers drown out jeers at conference.” And the big theme at USA Today, “Ron Paul: U.S. ‘propped up’ Mubarak in Egypt.” (Via Memeorandum.) In any case, listen to it. The […]

Been a big day! Here’s the lovely Ann Coulter: And check here for a sharper picture and full report of the day’s events: “Ann Coulter at CPAC.”

All the TV news sources are reporting that VP Omar Suleiman has stated that Mubarak has stepped down. No print stories yet, have to run to work. If you find any, post them in the comments. Interestingly, if this is the case, it means Mubarak’s handpicked successor, along with the military, will be in charge. […]

I’ll be doing a full blog post on GOProud (the conservative gay organization) when I get back, but I just wanted to let you know what went on yesterday. First of all, Donald Trump smacked down the Ron Paul supporters. You probably saw the clip on the news. Trump was speaking and someone yelled out,”Elect […]
