The fast and furious story gained momentum in Washington after it has emerged that Attorney General Eric Holder failed to turn over to congressional investigators evidence that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms released Manuel Acosta — a kingpin in the illegal weapons trade of the drug cartels — from custody in return for […]
As I listened to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan describe his latest budget plan in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute this week, I couldn’t help thinking how different things will be in Britain when Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne steps out of No. 11 Downing St. with a battered red briefcase […]
From the Washington Post, of all places. Excerpt: Judging from the coverage of: Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign over the last few weeks, you might think that the former Pennsylvania Senator’s numbers would be cratering among women. But you would be wrong. Way wrong. In a: new Washington Post-ABC poll, Santorum’s numbers among Republican and Republican-leaning women have […]
They’re literally fighting for Obama’s mantle, which seems to violate the “new tone”. Very violent rhetoric. Not quite as violent as Joe Biden telling me that “We’ve all got a dog in this fight.” I thought dog fighting was barbaric, violent, and illegal. So, if anyone gets caught dog fighting, blame Joe. Anyway (Politico) While […]
This is a hoot (Fox News) Not the Volt, per se, but its mechanically identical European cousin with an equally cute electric-inspired name, the Opel Ampera. The car will be taking part in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally, which kicks off on Thursday, March 22. But…. …don’t expect to see it tearing up the twisty […]
— “For thirty years, beginning with the invention of a privacy right in the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the Left has been waging a systematic assault on the constitutional foundation of the nation. One element of that assault is the transformation of the founding contract into a ‘living constitution’ that can be re-invented […]
Obama has mismanaged the war in Afghanistan at every turn. Whether that’s because he’s naturally incompetent or because he’s deliberately trying to foul things up so badly that we have no other choice but to leave is hard to say. Whatever the case may be, we’re getting to the point where it’s hard to see […]
Killing Osama Bin Laden is one thing that was done right in the sinkhole of misery and failure that is Barack Obama’s presidency. But the Obama Administration, being the Obama Administration, doesn’t even know how to handle that. Vice President Joseph Biden on Monday night upped the ante around the already quite-dramatic assassination of Osama […]
At this point, barring a miracle, neither Newt Gingrich nor Rick Santorum can gather enough delegates to win before the convention. All they can do is try to deny Mitt a victory and hope for a brokered convention. People should hope that they get their wish. Mitt won Illinois convincingly, 47% to Santorum’s 35%. However, […]
It’s not unreasonable to ask how valuable the variously labeled liberal, Democratic or progressive agenda has been to black Americans and whether blacks should proceed in political lock step with this agenda. According to an American Community Survey, by the U.S. Census Bureau, the top 10 poorest cities with populations more than 250,000 are Detroit, […]
Pond scum stinks. And so do the Obama administration’s enormous, taxpayer-funded “investments” in politically connected biofuel companies. While the president embarks on a green rehabilitation tour this week to quell growing public outrage about big green boondoggles, the White House continues to cultivate a cozy algae racket. Obama’s promotion of algae as a fuel source […]
President Obama says he want to make society more fair. Advocates of big government believe fairness means taking from rich people and giving to others: poor people; or people who do things politicians approve of, like making “green” energy equipment (Solyndra); or old people (even rich ones) through Social Security and Medicare. The idea that […]
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are increasingly moving to strip America of vital defense capabilities through a web of international treaties and agreements. Already, Clinton is negotiating a code of conduct in outer space that would effectively ban our capacity to destroy satellites and put interceptor missiles in space. Last week, […]
As you may have heard, Senate Democrats haven’t bothered to present a budget in more than 1,000 days and counting — which, unlike many pundits, I don’t find particularly upsetting, considering we’ve been free of a new Democratic budget for 1,000-plus days and counting. This week, though, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., offered up the House’s […]
A few nights back, Mark Levin made a powerful point on his radio show: Fox News boss Roger Ailes is a well-known and infamous name in media circles, like some sort of cable-news Voldemort or Darth Vader. Meanwhile, MSNBC boss — quick, can you name him? — Phil Griffin is unknown and not the least […]
The bleating about broken government and partisanship continues. “Why can’t those boobs in Washington agree on anything?” We’re constantly told that the way to fix the country is to dethrone the left and right and empower the middle. Americans Elect, No Labels, the Gangs of Six and Fourteen, conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans: Handing things […]
When I got married, I was a slim 6’2″, but I’ve gained a lot of weight. My wife gained about 20 pounds but recently lost that and more. I’ve been as high as 265, but I’m now at 238 and losing about a pound a week, which isn’t fast enough for my wife. When I […]
All of us have undoubtedly made the statement “I don’t feel like it” a number of times. This expression in this particular instance has nothing to do with whether or not we are having a coronary or a migraine; it has to do with something that we need to do and should do but don’t […]
After being bombarded with news of Third World problems for so long, I figured it was time to give a bit of equal time to First World suffering. Every so often I reach a boiling point with modern Western culture and feel the need to rant — so I’m going to bleed it out through […]
Hosannas. Obama has finally cut some federal spending. But noting which agency he shut down is sort of emblematic of his whole welfare/big government-pushing presidency. On Friday, the Department of Commerce announced that it would be shutting down all five regional offices of the Minority Business Development Agency, an agency that was created by Richard […]
If you want an example of why Democrats are truly a party of criminals, you have but to look to Chicago for your examples and not just because Chicago has one of the highest rates of Democrat pols being convicted of crimes. This particular election, Chicago Democrats are actually urging voters to vote for a […]
As the Republican presidential primary drags on, 27 debates later, with no candidate yet obtaining 50% of the delegates, speculation is increasing that the nominee may end up being selected in a brokered convention. If none of the candidates win a minimum of 1,144 delegates in the primaries and caucuses, then the Republican convention becomes […]

Congresswoman Adams has made news around the country for going after : Attorney General Eric Holder for his possible involvement and/or knowledge of : the failed ‘Fast and Furious’ firearms deal that resulted in the death of a […]
“McCarthyism” means pointing out positions taken by liberals that are unpopular with the American people. As former President Bush said, “Liberals do not like me talking about liberals.” The reason they sob about the dark night of fascism under McCarthy is to prevent Americans from ever noticing that liberals consistently attack their own country.” — […]
Is there anything that Obama takes the blame for? We know he likes to take credit for everything that happens. He took credit for ending the Iraq mission after sticking with Bush’s timeline. Credit for the oil drilling that was approved by the Bush administration. And anything good in the economy, Obama takes credit, and […]
“When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.” — George W. Bush, 9/13/01 “We are not at war with the Afghani people, and we are not at war with Islam, which most Americans […]
There’s no other way to characterize this story (Miami Herald) The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI will investigate the killing of Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch volunteer, the department announced late Monday. The announcement coincided with a statement from Florida Gov. Rick Scott asking the Florida […]
Out of all of the big name conservatives I’ve met or had dealings with, only one of them has ever struck me as truly obnoxious, which I think tells you something useful — and perhaps a little counter-intuitive — about what it takes to get ahead on the right. On the other hand, there seems […]
