With yesterday’s Fed decision and press conference, Chairman: Ben Bernanke finally and decisively laid his cards on the table. And confirming what I have been saying for many years, all he was holding was more of the same snake: oil and bluster.: Going further than he has ever gone before, he made it: clear that he will be permanently […]
An incendiary video about the prophet Muhammad, “Innocence of Muslims,” was blamed for the mob attacks on our embassies in Libya and Egypt (and later, Yemen). In Libya, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered. The video stirred some passion here in America as well. Over at MSNBC a riot of consensus broke […]
Why are Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the White House obsessed with apologizing for an amateur video that no-one had heard of, seen or cared about?: Why are they so obsessed with singing the praises of “a great religion” who’s leaders are the world’s leading proponent for mob violence and mass murder? In light […]
Just before the crowd in Cairo, Egypt erupted in violence against the U.S. embassy there, CNN’s cameras were in the capital interviewing protesters who said that the main purpose for their protest was to have Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman (known as the ‘Blind Sheik’) released from a U.S. prison. Yet as soon as the riots began, […]
If anyone thinks this is about a film that came out months ago, they’re sadly deluded (Reuters) Sudanese demonstrators broke into the German embassy in Khartoum on Friday, raising an Islamic flag and setting the building on fire in a protest against a film that demeaned the Prophet Mohammad, witnesses said. Police had earlier fired […]
Of the four or five regular magazines and newspapers read on Capitol Hill every day, Politico is probably the least policy-focused, and the one that places the most value on entertainment and drama. However, sometimes that reporting focuses on the biggest drama in Washington — elections — and a new article on Politico’s website outlines […]
It’s never a good thing when a Democrat loses the editorial board of a major liberal leaning paper GM’s vaunted Volt is on the road to nowhere fast The Energy Department study assumed that General Motors would produce 120,000 plug-in hybrid Volts in 2012. GM never came close to that and recently suspended Volt production […]
According to the UK Independent (isn’t it amazing how we have to learn info like this from the foreign media?) there were warnings about an attack on the US embassy in Libya According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the […]
I have a new dog. His name is Jackson. In a grand stroke of bipartisanship, I named him after my favorite Democrat of all-time: Andrew Jackson — who not coincidentally, also happened to be a great general and one of the most cantankerous bad asses ever to stride the planet. Fortunately, Jackson is absolutely nothing […]
11 year later in the war on terror, Obama has turned ‘let’s roll’ into let’s apologize. — Erick Erickson We know less about Senator Obama than about any prospective president in American history. His uplifting rhetoric is empty, as Hillary Clinton helplessly protests. His career bears no trace of his own character, not an article […]
After George W. Bush defeated Al Gore at the ballot box and in a rare show of fortitude for a Republican, didn’t stand by haplessly wringing his hands when Gore tried to lawyer his way into the White House, liberals were outraged. Sure, Gore had never been ahead at any point, but OBVIOUSLY voter fraud […]
Wazzup, President Obama? You’ve got room on your schedule to schmooze hip-hop radio DJs, debate Nicki Minaj’s rap lyrics, hobnob with big donor celebs Jay-Z and Beyonce, and hang with Hollywood gossip TV anchors. _ We see your passion on the golf course, basketball court and beach. We see you late night on Letterman and […]
When the Evil Empire was up and running, Americans used to have a good laugh at Pravda. How in the world could the Soviet people believe the tripe coming from those hacks? Well, the: mainstream media in this country has become every bit as corrupt as Pravda: and the reporters can’t even claim that they’re controlled by […]
There are a lot of great arguments against Obamacare, but the best one is simply looking at what happens in other nations where the government has taken over health care. Do we really want: this: happening in the United States? Thousands of elderly people are having to put up with deteriorating sight because they are denied cataract […]
Embassy security? Obama has $40,000 a plate fund raisers to attend. You can’t expect Obama to care about something like that. Unfortunately, when the guy in charge doesn’t care and the people in his administration are so naive that they think everyone loves us because Barack Obama is President, things slip through the cracks. Well, […]
Who would have thought that God and Jerusalem would become controversial issues at this year’s Democratic National Convention? Previous Democratic Party platforms had mentioned God and referred to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After both were initially missing from this year’s platform, someone apparently realized that this was likely to raise questions about Democrats […]
The liberal media gave the ceaselessly political President Obama a pass for campaigning instead of performing his presidential duties when they were most needed, while they castigated Mitt Romney for being political when he was the only one of the two acting presidential. To be sure, Obama is a political candidate for re-election to the […]
The post-convention bounce that led to jubilation in the mainstream media has exhausted itself, and Romney is coming back strongly. Having shown Obama as much as four points ahead of Romney in the immediate aftermath of the conventions, Rasmussen now has the president down to a one point margin: Obama: 46 Romney: 45. Instead, the […]
“Forward” is a perfectly appropriate slogan for progressives. Progress suggests forward or upward motion. That’s why revolutionaries and radicals as well as liberal incrementalists have always embraced some derivation of the forward trope. So ingrained are these directional concepts in our political language, we often forget they are mere geographic metaphors applied — and often […]
The health care debate is a great example of why Americans hate politics. Both Republicans and Democrats pursue their plans with ideological zeal and reckless disregard for the truth in hopes of winning 51 percent of the vote. Voters hold their nose and choose but would rather have their leaders search for consensus. That would […]
Barrack Obama and members of the institutionalized “progressive” left smear machine, otherwise known as the mainstream media, launched a series of seemingly coordinated attacks on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.: The White House and the press uncannily echoed each other while criticizing Romney for speaking in opposition to the Cairo Embassy’s apology to Islamists for […]
Huffington Post contributor Sharmine Narwani took the occasion of the murder of our ambassador to Libya to launch into an anti-American diatribe that culminated in her asking why she is supposed to care about Ambassador Chris Stevens’ death or that of the other two killed with him. Sharmine Narwani, who is also a correspondent for […]
Those deeply entrenched in politics and individuals passionate about candidates and causes often claim that an election is of profound importance and that the results will have a great impact on our nation. These oftentimes turn out to be unintended exaggerations. However, this election is indeed one of those. We stand at a wide fork […]
The recession officially ended in July 2009. A few years later, the US has had 43 months of 8%+ unemployment, real wages and savings are down, GDP resembles a 2nd world nation, people are abandoning the jobs market in record numbers, personal debt is high, and the US debt is now over $16 trillion. People […]
Reverend William Owens from the Coalition Of African American Pastors has been in the news for criticizing Barack Obama and for the CAAP’s 100,000 Signatures for Marriage petition. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of interviewing the reverend. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Not only has Barack Obama endorsed […]
I surmise we’re suppose to have some sort of sympathy for Obama or something (Washington Post) President Obama went through with a campaign appearance in Las Vegas on Wednesday evening and, after laboring to quiet an exuberant crowd, began his speech with a somber tribute to the four Americans killed Tuesday in Libya. Obama, visibly […]
Our embassy in Yemen has been stormed by a group of primitives who are supposedly offended by a YouTube video that roughly 11 people on the planet had probably seen before 9/11. So when do we apologize because their tiny, backwards brains couldn’t handle a contrary opinion without exploding into violence? Chanting “death to America,” […]
I kept waiting for the Romney campaign or Crossroads to use this footage in an ad and put some money behind it. Since they didn’t, I thought it was time that someone did.
Ross Douthat asks that question, more specifically about the Romney campaign, andanswers it “no.” Since Bush left office, conservatives have been willing to acknowledge his failures as a fiscal conservative and to promise more responsibility on deficits and debt. This has been a necessary and important shift, responsible both for the energy of the Tea […]
