Here is a prime example of the complications of our government doing nothing on illegal immigration. I want to hear from you, both sides of the issue, regarding this. Pedro Ramirez, Fresno State’s student body president, is an undocumented immigrant serving in the position without pay. Ramirez, 23, attends school on scholarships and pays in-state […]

With her eighteenth birthday one week away, it seems that, more than ever, Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed even when her sexualized new image is causing her popularity and her profits from sales to drop.:  Her new video, “Who Owns My Heart,” features Miley writhing in bed with no pants, with brief flashes of her […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** At Gizmodo: At the heart of the controversy over “body scanners” is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images. A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs […]

New Mexico Governor-elect Susana Martinez has promised to revoke the thousands of drivers’ licenses which have been issued by her state to illegal aliens under Gov. Bill Richardson. Under Richardson illegals did not have to show proof of citizenship to obtain a license. As the link points out, “The policy has made New Mexico a […]

My past post on Affirmative Action and this post at HotAir, got me to thinking about the term “a level playing field.” Sarah Palin has given this piece of advice to the incoming freshman Republicans: Remember that some in the media will love you when you stray from the time-tested truths that built America into […]

Thursday morning, in a post that received much attention and inspired much discussion, I made an observation about the way liberals tend to introduce their audiences to the subject matters they want to discuss. My observation was in the way they, in keeping with the tradition of all collectivist economies and totalitarian regimes, discourage the […]

Conservatives, Republicans, libertarians (both big-L and small-l): please don’t take this the wrong way. Your opinions are important to me. I’d hate to think that you think that I want President Obama (circa 2011) to become anything other than former President Obama (circa 2013). But. For two veteran political operatives to suggest that Obama should […]

Cross-posted from American Power: “Obama ‘Has Largely Lost the Consent of the Governed’.” ***** I don’t take these calls all that seriously, mainly because I don’t believe that Obama’s a cut-and-run president, and while I disagree with him profoundly, that’s a good quality to have. He just needs to find a new tack, perhaps become […]

Originally posted at American Power: “Myanmar Frees Democracy Leader Aung San Suu Kyi (VIDEO).” ***** The main story’s at LAT, “Myanmar Frees Opposition Leader Aung San Suu Kyi.” I’m just blown away by the brazen and bankrupt maneuvering of the military junta, which just held the most carefully scripted elections imaginable, the first elections in […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** And again, that’s ALLEGEDLY gets black postal worker fired. Folks can check it out for themselves, at The Blaze, “Woman Goes on Racist Rant, Allegedly Hits Postman Over Mail Delivery,” and Mediaite, “Postal Worker Claims He Got Fired For Recording Customer’s N-Word Rant.” And at Guyism: There is no wrath […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** R.S. McCain suggests it’s The Weekly Newsbeast. Either way, don’t expect much change from the far-left Obama-worshipping program of Jon Meacham, which hammered the final nails in the Newsweek coffin. See, The Observer, “Newsweek and Daily Beast to Merge, and at NYT, “Newsweek and Daily Beast Have a Deal.” Plus, […]

Some science blogging for a Friday night, and for cat lovers as well, “Biomechanics of Feline Water Uptake.” And here’s the cool video: And previously at American Power: * “Back to the Future with Jerry Brown at the Helm in California.” * “Tory Councillor Gareth Compton Suspended After ‘Stoning’ Tweet to Columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.” * […]

I wondered what your thoughts were now on Affirmative Action. I was a great believer in it in the 70’s and early 80’s. I had grown up with such unfairness towards blacks in hiring and school, that I thought it necessary. Then we passed laws against discrimination, and anyone my age (49) or younger had […]

Plus some additional thoughts: “Veterans Day 2010.” More at American Power.

As you may have heard, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” premieres November 14 at 8pm central. I’m excited to announce that I will be co-blogging the show over at “Tubular, blogging TV” at The Houston Chronicle with Bobby Hankinson. If you enjoy TV shows and haven’t been to Tubular, then you have been missing a lot of […]

Right Wing News polled more than 250 right-of-center bloggers on election 2010 and the aftermath. 70 bloggers responded (This one time, the respondents ARE NOT going to be listed. Expect them to be listed as per usual, on the next poll). What follows are the results. Do keep in mind that because some people skipped […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** At Wired: And at Chronicle of Higher Education: In V for Vendetta, the protagonist V is a revolutionary fighting a fascist British regime in a dystopian future. V broadcasts a video message calling the British public to action on November 5 in honor of Guy Fawkes’s 1605 attempt to blow […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** At CBS News: When Tony Blair released his memoir earlier this year, a facebook page was created calling for critics of the former prime minister to “Subversively move Tony Blair’s memoirs to the crime section in book shops.” At last count, the Facebook group had more than 14,000 members. The […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** I’m bothered, increasingly, by the overwhelming tendency of the major actors and institutions of the political regime to treat those on the far left of the ideological spectrum as “liberals.” Leftists are not liberal. They’re anti-liberal. But one of the great achievements of radical left-wing politics in the second half […]

Somali Pirates may be fearsome foes to unarmed merchant vessels, but they’re no match for any nation with a modern military. If the United States or Britain decided to put an end to Somalian piracy, we could probably do so relatively easily. So, why does this keep happening? Somali pirates are reported to have received […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** What’s with The New Yorker‘s November 15th cover drawing featuring incoming GOP House Speaker John Boehner standing with President Obama in the Oval Office? While Obama is clearly extending his hand in what appears as a reluctant bid for cooperation, Boehner’s hand is gathered in a fist. Is that a […]

It’s a been a strange morning on Twitter. I tweeted this and got back this. That triggered an exchange of tweets around the ‘sphere. Turns out that simply opposing ObamaCare gets you attacked as RAAAAACIST, which is no surprise by any means. Here’s a roundup: * “If You Oppose ObamaCare You’re RAAAAACIST and UNEDUCATED!!” * […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** Out of the blue, I got this on Twitter earlier this morning: I replied here. @SinglePlayer then blocked me, typical for a leftist totalitarian. RELATED: At Doug Ross, “New England Journal of Medicine Inadvertently Hands House GOP the Game Plan for Starving ObamaCare.” If you can’t completely kill it (at […]

Republicans will make a move to repeal ObamaCare, and Obama is going to make some wonderful, awesome speeches about how this is not the right way to go, that we have to keep the law in place because it’s going to make life easier for us any week now. You know, I don’t think I’ve […]

Originally posted at Big Government With the mauling of the Democrats, their ideology, and policies, in addition to: some RINOS in the primaries, let’s hope the new Congress heard Americans loud and clear on Tuesday and the United States government is no longer a punchline, and will return to sound fiscal and free market policies without […]

Cross-posted from American Power. ***** I’ve already posted on Keith Olbermann. I say let the guy rot in the wasteland of forgotten left-wing bloviators. But the suspension debate at MSNBC lingers today with the pathetic Rachel Maddow, the fever-swamp leftist who happens to have a her own show: “On Cable News and Cable Not-News” (via […]
