Spending Everything While Building Nothing

Mark Steyn on the utter failure of big government, Obama-style: If you’re saying, “Whoa, that sounds expensive,” well, our government is more expensive than any government in history — and we have nothing to show for it. Imagine if Obama’s 2009 stimulus had been spent burying every electric pole on the Eastern Seaboard. Instead, just […]

Democrat in LA Dist. Attny Race Gets Porn Star Endorsement

Well, what could be better than getting the endorsement of a porn star if you are running for District Attorney? Nothing says “law enforcement” like getting the slut industry behind you like Democrat Los Angeles DA candidate Jackie Lacey has! I wrote about Lacey last week when I found out she had abused her position […]

Non-Union Electric Crew Turned Away From Sandy Recovery

Wasn’t just yesterday that Obama gave a speech in which he said that “Americans are coming together” during the Sandy cleanup during a stump speech? How’s that working out? (via American Perspective) (WAFF) The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews from Huntsville Utilities learned they’ll be doing work in Long […]

LOVE A VICTORY

Back in January of 2012, I interviewed Mia Love. Here’s: how it begins. Ever heard of Mia Love? If you haven’t yet, no worries, because you will. She’s a rising conservative star in Utah. She’s the daughter of Haitian immigrants, was the first black mayor in Utah, and would be the first black woman ever to […]

4 Reasons To Believe That Mitt Will Win The Election Next Week

In 2008, most knowledgeable observers on both sides of the aisle thought that Barack Obama was going to win the election against John McCain handily. In fact, out of the: 15 big name pollsters, bloggers, and columnists who called the election beforehand with some specificity, 14 called it for Obama and 13 predicted he’d win in […]

Poser of the United States: The Photo-Op Presidency

The official Obama 2012 campaign slogan is “Forward.” The operational motto of the Obama administration is “Cheese.” As in “say cheese.” From hollow Greek columns to strategically released Situation Room candids, the Paparazzi President has put self-serving optics above all else. What did we get after four long years of expertly staged Kabuki-theater-meets-Potemkin-village productions? Sixteen […]

Storm saves Obama from himself

If President Obama had the time for some introspection on the campaign trail, he might take offense at all the media speculation (and in many cases wishful thinking gussied up as speculation) that his response to Hurricane Sandy will give him the edge going into Election Day. In effect, people are saying: “Obama is doing […]

The Flow Of The Blow: Obama Is On Defense Down The Stretch

In 2008, John McCain was desperately playing defense in states like Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Indiana. Just the fact that he had to commit resources into those states told you that he was in trouble. Well, this year Barack Obama is the one trying to fend off Mitt Romney in blue states like Pennsylvania, […]

I’m Even More Confident That Mitt Will Win

I want to give you an updated list of reasons I believe that Mitt Romney will win the election Tuesday. So much information, so much confusion, so much uncertainty. But I don’t think it’s so complex as it seems. In 2008, a perfect storm developed for Barack Obama: an economic crisis, which was effectively, though […]

Romney Rising

In Ohio, voting machines are changing a vote cast for Mitt Romney to Barack Obama. Maybe that is what the “progressive” Democratic Party needs to combat lower voter turnout for the Democratic ticket. For “progressive” Democrats and their much heralded ground game, which in early voting has not been as effective as advertised, perhaps their […]

This Week In Quotes: 10/23 – 10/30

“When you (Obama) act like that, when you blame other people and when you use profane language, and when you act like you’re a 10-year-old, sometimes as in the debates, I don’t think that independent voters and undecided voters are really moved by that. — Jeb Bush (Joseph Lowery), who gave the benediction at the […]

Think, People

If you are a gun owner, a believer in the Second Amendment, you really, really need to start thinking. Item: Obama telegraphed his support for an “assault weapon” ban in the debates – never mind that assault weapons are already illegal. What he wants to ban are semi-automatic rifles that look something like a real […]

Obama’s War on Energy is about Control

When one thinks of energy, the thoughts about economic growth rarely come into play. : In fact, most take it for granted. : It charges our iPhones, laptops, and Kindles, but it also is the lifeblood that keeps our economy growing. : It’s also the critical element that keeps our health services running. : It allows us to channel […]

Poor Nicholas Kristoff Channels The Goracle

Well, was anyone expecting much more from a NY Times columnist? Will Climate Get Some Respect Now? Yeah, I respect the hell out of what the natural processes of the Earth can do, and have been doing for billions of years. But, if Nicholas is so concerned, he should get the big shots at the […]

Study Suggests That Immigrants Soaked Up 2/3rds Of The Jobs Gains

Surprise! (Washington Times) Two-thirds of those who have found employment under President Obama are immigrants, both legal and illegal, according to an analysis that suggests immigration has soaked up a large portion of what little job growth there has been over the past three years. The Center for Immigration Studies is releasing the study Thursday […]

On Nate Silver….

I wasn’t planning to write about Nate Silver, but I keep reading articles about him and being asked about him. As this election has started to wind down, it’s strange how much significance his opinion seems to have taken on. I say it’s strange because Nate Silver is certainly a smart guy who did a […]

Does New Jersey Really Want to Re-Elect “Jersey Shore” Sen. Menendez?

It’s easy to imagine how embarrassing a show like: Jersey Shore: must be: to the average resident of New Jersey. There are undoubtedly tens of millions: of Americans whose image of the state has been formed by a reality TV show: that portrays people who live in Jersey as trashy, herpes-infested skanks and: braindead layabouts who don’t have anything on their […]

The Key To The Election: Gallup/Rasmussen or The Other Pollsters?

This election actually comes down to one key question: Who’s right about the partisan breakdown of the election? Is it: Gallup and Rasmussen: that say it leans toward the GOP? Two pollsters, Gallup and Rasmussen Reports, are projecting Republican voters to have a slight advantage on November 6 over Democratic voters. When they add likely voters leaning […]

Romney Derangement Syndrome Seems Pretty Close To An Actual Illness

If Mitt Romney wins, the only thing better than watching MSNBC on election night may bereading stories like this one.. David Plouffe, one of President Obama’s top campaign strategists, has a word for supporters he feels are needlessly fretful: bed wetters. “Oh, I think I’m worse than that,” Kay Edelman said. For the past several […]

Romney Is What The Country Needs Now

The single most important issue in this election is ending the national nightmare of Obamacare. If Obamacare is not stopped, it will permanently change the political culture of this country. There will be no going back. America will become a less productive, less wealthy nation. What wealth remains will have to be plowed into Obamacare […]

Why The New York Times Poll is Wrong

Whether deliberately or not, The New York Times/CBS/Quinnipiac Poll is wrong! It shows President Obama carrying Ohio, Florida and Virginia. In reality, Mitt Romney is leading in all three states and will carry them all. Here’s the deal. The Times is weighting the raw survey data to reflect the ratio of Democrats to Republicans who […]

The uncool president

In 2008, Barack “No Drama” Obama was the coolest presidential candidate America had ever seen — young, hip, Ivy League, mellifluous and black, with a melodic and exotic name. Rock stars vied to perform at his massive rallies, where Obama often began his hope-and-change sermons by reminding the teary-eyed audience what to do in case […]

The Department of Bad Ideas

You know what could really help the economy? A huge new bureaucratic department in Washington, that’s what. President Barack Obama, a man who recently asserted that the “free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world’s ever known,” intimated that once he secures a second term in office, he would appoint a Secretary […]

The 2012 choice

This election will tell us what kind of America we believe in. Is it the one our Founders bequeathed to their posterity of limited government, or is it the one re-made in the image of liberal paternalistic government? The choice, as President Obama has said, could not be clearer. Is our country a giant ATM, […]
