Congratulating himself on the IPO of General Motors, President Barack Obama stated, “American taxpayers are now positioned to recover more than my administration invested in GM, and that’s a good thing.” Obama also said that his administration’s actions “helped save more than 1 million jobs across 50 states.” GM’s IPO did raise about $20 billion […]
I blogged earlier this week about the fact that San Francisco, which is broke, was trying to find $137 million so that the feds would provide it with almost $1 billion dollars in funds to build a 1.7 mile subway tunnel. Federal money, of course, is your money. This is not money belonging to beleaguered […]
My liberal friend and I were talking about having pizza for dinner. I suggested Round Table. My friend was appalled. Liberal Friend: “Round Table is awful.” Me: “I like it.” Liberal Friend: “It’s awful. Just go on Yelp.” Me: “Why should I go on Yelp? That’s helpful if I haven’t been some place and am […]
This kind of stuff cracks me up. Millionaires to Obama: Tax us more! More than 40 of the nation’s millionaires have joined Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength to ask President Obama to discontinue the tax breaks established for them during the Bush administration. “For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our […]
Mona Charen spoke at the Jewish Policy Forum panel in Los Angeles, along with David Horowitz. Michael Medved began the talk with a discussion of electoral politics, and at some point the panelists got to talkin’ about their favorites for the 2012 presidential race. Ms. Charen endorsed Mitchell Daniels (not my favorite, for reasons some […]
Vincent Vernuccio of the Competitive Enterprise Institute appeared on Fox Business Channel’s “Follow the Money” show and talked a little bit about where the dues that union members pay goes. Fox Business only gave a snippet of the video that CEI made so here is the full video.
Many of us view the IRS with a certain amount of suspicion. Being fair-minded people, we know that all societies need some mechanism to collect revenue to pay for basic government services (with the fault lying with Congress if those revenue demands are excessive). We also know that our family and friends may work for […]
That’s right, gone huntin’. As such, I’m not here to comment obsessively on whatever popped up on Memeorandum in the last five minutes, like I’d usually be. Instead, I’m doing what bloggers always do when we really, really want to make sure and post something but won’t be around to do it: I’m cheating. In […]
At WaPo, “Democrats Strategists Ready to Take Page From GOP Playbook in 2012.” Folks can check the link. There was a similar story at LAT yesterday, “Party’s Survival Instinct Kicks In“: Frustrated by what they see as President Obama’s weakness in battling Republicans, leading Democratic donors and tacticians have begun independently plotting their political recovery […]
And for some comparative politics: If you enjoyed When Harry Met Sally…, wait ’till you get a load of this, “Catalan Socialist Party Does R-Rated Nora Ephron Send-Up.” The story’s at BBC and Memeorandum.
My new TALK RADIO WATCH column is up! Enjoy FREE audio and video highlights from the week in conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh’s new “racist” “outrage” NYT reviews every book out right now with the words “Glenn Beck” written somewhere on the cover Laura Ingraham chats with Michael Savage and lots more! Late breaking news: […]
You remember Fred, right? He’s the Republican that pushed through legislation to ban most incandescent light bulbs. Now, though Rep. Fred Upton told E2 Thursday that he would not steer a sweeping energy measure through the panel if he becomes chairman. ??That would be a sharp contrast to current Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who moved […]
The setup U.S. agencies and officials would get new powers to go after foreign websites that sell counterfeit goods and pirated music, movies and books under a bill passed on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill, which supporters hope will set the stage for action next year, targets “rogue websites” in countries such […]
America was told that the mysterious “missile” launch videotaped by a television news crew just off the southern coast of California November 10, was most likely just the contrail of a jet.: The Defense Department and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) have both opined publicly that as such, it did not pose any […]
It’s from the American Values Network, a hard-left progressive faith group: Burns Strider, the group’s founder, was a former aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and was a faith advisor to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. In other words, this is a Democratic ad blitz using the most outlandish fearmongering imaginable. The original “Daisy Girl” […]
I was looking forward to this, from Andrew McCarthy, “A Compromise Verdict, and No Winners” (via RCP): The Ghailani verdict was irrational, but no more so than the decision to try him as a civilian in the first place. ***** A federal jury in Manhattan has returned what is transparently a compromise verdict in the […]
Fox News women are the hottest? Duh. Via JammieWearingFool, “Need Another Reason to Love Megyn Kelly?” Also around the ‘sphere: * The Blaze, “Fox’s Megyn Kelly Makes Revealing GQ Appearance.” * MediaBistro, “Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in GQ: ‘You may have heard that we’re number one’.” ***** Yep, conservative women are the hottest! And amazingly, […]
I’m home for a little bit while dad gets some sleep before a visit in the hospital by the doctor. Wanted to post the great news (which has already been circulating on Twitter for a few of hours now) that Renee Ellmers has officially upset NC-2 Congressman Bob Etheridge (who has served in the US […]
In case there is anyone left who doesn’t understand that the “climate change” crisis (as they have rebranded the debunked global warming hoax) is not about the climate but about massive looting, Ottmar Edenhofer sets the record straight: Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC […]
Life is cheap, where moonbats who believe in abortion are concerned. Should you let your child live, or kill it? You could flip a coin to decide. Or you could leave it up to strangers on an Internet poll, as Pete and Alisha Arnold of Minnesota are doing: “Voting is such an important part of […]
All the latest on the TSA body screening controversy, “Epic Friday Pat-Downapalooza!” And more news throughout the day at American Power.
With the recent midterm election and the resulting GOP tidal wave that is about to inundate Congress, many people have wondered aloud if net neutrality was dead? Well if FCC Chief Julius Genachowski has his way, net neutrality will be implemented by fiat when he has his agency simply change rules without involving congress at […]
Americans for Tax reform have done a study (download .pdf) that shows a very interesting trend. States that are losing population the fastest are predominantly those that force employees to join unions as a condition for employment while those that are growing are mostly states that feature right to work rules. Because congressional representation is […]
So, now we know: the whole plan to place National Guard units at the border until there were enough Border Patrol agents was basically a sham, an attempt to dupe the American People that he was Doing Something The Obama Administration plans to withdraw National Guard troops from the Texas, New Mexico and California borders […]
With all the issues going on regarding the Transportation Security Administration, you just knew someone had to come up with some sort of legislation. And the winner is…..RON PAUL! Mr. Speaker, today I introduce legislation to protect Americans from physical and emotional abuse by federal Transportation Security Administration employees conducting screenings at the nation’s airports. […]
Over at Little Green Footballs, Charles Johnson is showing everyone why he doesn’t do much these days besides apologize for radical Islam and repetitively squawk about conservatives. When he gets out of his tiny comfort zone, here’s Charles Johnson pumping out laughable nonsense like this: General Motors went on the public market today, with one […]
25) Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn’t commit. Their claims of how awful ‘we’ are never seems to encompass themselves in the ‘we.’ Saying America is a racist nation […]
It’s similarly pointless to treat all Americans as if they’re potential terrorists while trying to find and confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon. We can’t search all passengers for explosives because Muslims stick explosives up their anuses. (Talk about jobs Americans just won’t do.) You have to search for the terrorists. Fortunately, […]
Media Matters, a George Soros propaganda organization: masquerading as a media watchdog is exhibiting its hypocrisy again today. In an article called Fox’s “Nazi” rhetoric also comes straight from the top, they took a comment by Fox News head Roger Ailes and used it as a starting point to attack almost every commentator on the […]
