Did you know that a suspected Somali terrorist was sneaked into a U.S. criminal court in New York City over the July 4th holiday? Most people don’t. While we were all distracted by celebrating our Independence Day President Obama was sneaking foreign terrorists into our civil court system instead of taking him to Guantanamo. A […]
Funny how this news was lost in the shuffle Friday, and I had to go to a British newspaper to find out Republicans claimed to have struck a blow for freedom on Friday when the House of Representatives voted to strip all funding from government programmes promoting energy-saving lightbulbs. The measure, brought as an amendment […]
Obama’s still treating the Dalai Lama rather shabbily The White House announced late Friday that President Obama will meet with the Dalai Lama at the White House on Saturday, finally putting an end to mounting speculation about whether the Tibetan religious leader would get an invite to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “This meeting underscores the President’s […]
Two economists summarize their: important recent research. Our empirical research: on the history of financial crises and the relationship between growth and public liabilities supports the view that current debt trajectories are a risk to long-term growth and stability, with many advanced economies already reaching or exceeding the important marker of 90 percent of GDP. . . […]
One of the (many) common questions reporters ask that I’ve never understood is one addressed to people who’ve lived a very long time: “What’s the secret to living a long life?” Even as a semi-serious, kinda fun question, it makes absolutely no sense. How is a person supposed to know? Even if a better form […]
Hi, kids! Here’s the latest episode of Down the Rabbit Hole With Duchess Rebecca with special guest Walt Lehmann of D.D.E.P.. Remember, some of the content here is a bit racy. Video streaming by Ustream
In a small step in the right direction, the House of Representatives passed a provision to defund the 2012 Energy and Water Appropriations Act, denying the government the funds to enforce the new lightbulb standards that would have levied a defacto ban on incandescent bulbs. Of course, the problem is that this is a temporary, […]
I hope you enjoyed the fireworks on the Fourth, because if the EPA has its way, it could be the last chance you’ll have: The Environmental Protection Agency is at it again — this time eyeing smog standards so stringent it could actually force cities to choose between July 4th fireworks and hugely expensive new […]
Canada offers a preview of the linguistic lunacy we will soon be in for in the USA. Luckily for us, it’s easier to find people who speak Spanish than French. The Federal Court of Canada on Wednesday ordered Air Canada to pay $12,000 to Ottawa French-language rights crusader Michel Thibodeau in part because when he […]
Vilayat-e Faqih!: : Aside from solid solidarity on breaking the world’s record for public executions in a years time,: unsolid solidarity signals are blasting out of Gay Free Persia’s hot gossip, sweet deets and judicious jank ’bout divy’ing divisions at the highest levels of Preacher Command are off the hook! See, the battle over the Persian Version […]
News has emerged that a Michigan public school illegally used its automatic phone calling system to call the homes of every student to urge parents to join the recall effort against Republican Governor Rick Snyder last month. To imagine that they can illegally use public school facilities for a partisan, left-wing political effort, this is […]
It may or may not be as big and bad, but, we’ll see if ATF and the DOJ stonewall Congress on it Several lawmakers are questioning the Obama administration about whether the controversial “Fast and Furious” gunrunning probe may have had a cousin in Florida that resulted in guns being trafficked to Central America. Rep. […]
Unlike Queen Nancy’s statement that “we’ll have to pass the bill to see what is in it,” we actually knew this little tidbit was in the bill prior to passage, and critics pretty much proclaimed that it would have a negative effect. And, guess what? It has Lawmakers in the House and Senate introduced bipartisan […]
Rich Lowry at The Corner talks about the Democratic coupling of 1.5 trillion in cuts with Mitch McConnell’s surrender on the debt limit. Interestingly, the McConnell proposal seems to be getting better with Democratic input, although it’s all still very murky. I think this goes to show that Democrats want to be able to say […]
Let’s face it: We’ve all thought about surviving in a zombie Apocalypse. Would we go to the mall or a military base? Would they be slow zombies or fast zombies? What would we do with our pets? There are a lot of questions, but not many answers…except in one area. Thanks to the fine folks […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Why Does Barack Obama Want To Cut Off Social Security Checks?
Illegal immigration is terrible for the country and terrible for Hispanic Americans, but blood is thicker than water, my friend, blood is thicker than water. Polling released today from Latino Decisions and impreMedia shows that Latino voters prioritize immigration, and do so because they view the issue through a personal lens. The findings hold important […]
Haven’t liberals been saying that there’s a Social Security “trust fund” that’s good until 2037? Sure, they have! Why, back in Feb of this year, Jacob Lew, the director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, was
At the bottom of each post, you’ll see something like this. This enables you to vote on each post. You can vote it down, you can vote it up — and that’s a good thing because it lets me know what you like and what you don’t like. If I see posts that are getting […]
What is cut, cap, and balance? 1. Cut – We must make discretionary and mandatory spending reductions that would cut the deficit in half next year. 2. Cap – We need statutory, enforceable caps to align federal spending with average revenues at 18% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with automatic spending reductions if the caps […]
Is there any policy reason why Obama won’t agree to a short-term deal or is this really as horribly cynical as it looks – that he simply refuses to do anything that might complicate his reelection campaign, even if that means a default by the United States? — AllahPundit So a dollar used to purchase […]
The Obama Regime has already declared war on Arizona, Texas, and South Carolina. The latest red state to find itself in the federal crosshairs is Louisiana, which the Department of Social Justice is suing on vague charges of not doing enough to encourage welfare recipients to vote. A federal lawsuit accusing two state agencies of […]
William F. Buckley famously said that he would “rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” Here’s why: [A] pair of Harvard scholars writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association advocate stripping away the custody […]
Rodina Mat’ Zovyot! As a really girthy nation/state (ain’t none bigger bay bee!) Commonwealth Russia spans like a bunch of the earth’s surface. And she hangs in a rough hood – hooked up border wise with semi rival new clear powers like Ppls Republic of China and crazy Dear Leader’s NoKo As hostess with the […]
Imagine the gall of Gordon L. Wray Jr. to die without first getting Obama’s permission! I mean, it takes a real yutz to die before The One waves his royal hand in forbearance, ya know? So, to punish the dead, Obama sent his National Labor Relations Board goosetepping to threaten the man… the, the dead […]
On Sept. 18th and 19th in Washington DC, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is having open meetings for public comment on its proposal to slash the amount of time that it takes for prospective unionization of employees to occur. If you are at all interested in preventing this wild powergrab by Obama’s union-sold NLRB, […]
Illinois Republican Representative Joe Walsh takes it hard to President Obama. Mr. Walsh says that Obama is lying and he wonders if the president even has any clue about how the country works. Walsh asks, “Have you no shame sir?” … It’s about time someone in Washington talks straight about this budget mess. Joe Walsh […]
Because their economy is going so great that they are now trying to put the brakes on their overheated economy Reporting from Beijing– While the Obama administration struggles to jump-start the stalled U.S. recovery, policymakers in Beijing have an opposite but equally formidable task: putting the brakes on China’s speeding economy without triggering a slump. […]
I’m so glad they can take on this issue, after being dragged in kicking and screaming to the Jeremiah Wright controversy after Sean Hannity revealed it a year prior. Of course, all the writers at The Atlantic gave Obama a free pass after sitting for 20 years in the pews listening to an anti-American and […]
Isn’t it great to be on the same side as Al-Qaeda in Libya, fighting for…something or another — it’s hard to say what exactly. The general excuse was supposed to be that we were helping to protect “civilians.” Course, if the “civilians” happen to be small children, our rebel allies are apparently conscripting them and […]
