They best be careful, otherwise they could receive a threatening nasty-gram from Kathleen Sebelius, a subpoena to appear on Capital Hill, or be part of an Obama campaign trail whine, or even the subject of a weekly address blameathon: McDonald’s May Drop Health Plan McDonald’s Corp. has warned federal regulators that it could drop its […]
Even as supporters claim they won’t need subsidies, it is more likely that L.A. is about to plunge itself forever into debt with a new stadium, the Staples Center. A look at just about any other convention center, or stadium in the country easily shows that these projects seldom pay for themselves as builders insist […]
It was just under two weeks ago, when Sean Duffy – candidate for Congress in The Best-Looking Congressional Race…Ever – released his latest ad featuring himself, chopping a log in half with the same skill and gusto we hope he’ll take to the federal budget. At the time, I suggested a script for his next […]
Nothing like a tough re-election to bring Democrats around on taxes. Ed Morrissey writes: Forty-seven Democrats have publicly demanded that Pelosi acquiesce to an across-the-board extension of existing tax rates on capital gains and dividends. Plus: House Democrats on Wednesday barely won a 210-209 vote to adjourn the House without extending the Bush tax cuts. […]
Democrat Gary McDowell is running to replace Bart Stupak (D, MI) in Michigan’s First District and while he may be hoping he might get the votes of seniors coming to the end of their time here on this mortal coil, he sure seems reticent to give them the medical care they’ll need to be around […]
Public Policy Polling has released a poll of voters in President Obama’s home state of Illinois. shockingly it shows that Obama has a 49% disapproval rating in Illinois. The Illinois poll we’ll release this week won’t do much to change the conventional wisdom on either the Senate or Gubernatorial race in the state but it […]
The boom just keeps coming down on Obama allies. Radical “peace activist” Hatem Abudayyeh of the Arab American Action Network has had his Chicago home raided by the FBI in a terror sweep. Chicago activist Thomas Burke said he was served a grand jury subpoena that requested records of any payments to Abudayyeh or his […]
Obama’s pal Andy Stern isn’t the only commie from the SEIU in trouble with the grownups — not that we would know this from the liberal establishment media. There’s also Joseph Iosbaker, Chief Steward for SEIU’s Local 73 in Chicago: Over the weekend the FBI announced that it was investigating Joseph Iosbaker for possible connections […]
Pres. Obama sat down with Rolling Stone Magazine . Here are some interesting excerpts followed by my observations: How do you feel about the fact that day after day, there’s this really destructive attack on whatever you propose? Does that bother you? Has it shocked you? I don’t think it’s a shock. I had served […]
: : : : : : : : : : : When the Pledge to America was first announced, it immediately met backlash from the other side of the aisle. President Obama began a tour dedicated specifically to breaking down the plan’s items one by one.: While to many political strategists, this response may be seen as politics as usual, there are many holes in […]
Peggy Noonan getting it: I see two central reasons for the tea party’s rise. The first is the yardstick, and the second is the clock. First, the yardstick. Imagine that over at the 36-inch end you’ve got pure liberal thinking–more and larger government programs, a bigger government that costs more in the many ways that […]
The Constitution of the United States of America. Journalist Mary Dejevsky wrote about it, but she sure hasn’t the first clue about what it does, what it means, or why American politics seem to have gone awry. She did get some things correct in her article in Britain’s Independent newspaper but over all she proved […]
Obviously, Max Baucus is rather upset with the money pouring in to elections from both sides…..wait, what? The Senate’s chief tax writer has called for a federal investigation into advocacy groups that have become increasingly popular vehicles for outside donations. These groups, known as 501(c)4s after the section of the tax code that defines them, […]
Matthew Vadum, ever vigilant on the evils perpetrated by ACORN, reminds us that the criminal community organizer has not had its federal funding cut off permanently. The temporary cut off is soon to expire and Vadum reports that there doesn’t seem to be anyone in Congress taking up a reinstatement of the ban. In his […]
Just when you need more insanity from the United Nation, they are ready and available to provide it Israel’s blockade of a Gaza-bound flotilla last May would have been illegal, even if Osama bin Laden himself had been on the ship full of pro-Palestinian activists, a member of a U.N.-appointed fact-finding mission told the Human […]
Last May, Mark Levin — the President of Landmark Legal Foundation — stated that President Barack Obama was the “closest thing to a dictator” this country had ever seen. The list of horribles included his naked attempts to silence critics, his encouragement of voter intimidation, his support of rampant vote fraud, the implicit campaign to […]
I, along with some of RWN’s other bloggers, are going to be at the Smart Girl Summit Wed-Fri. We’ll be back at the same Bat time, same Bat channel on Monday. PS: I know I’ve been doing a lot of these conferences lately, but this should be the last one for a while. Moreover, I […]
See the full report, with photos, at American Power: “David Horowitz at ‘Securing America’s Future’ in Beverly Hills.” An excerpt: While I was impressed with both Cliff May and Mona Charen — and I was thrilled at the chance to see them speak — the night truly belonged to David Horowitz. During the audience question […]
It looks like House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman, (D-Calif) is so desperate to get a Net Neutrality bill out of the House before the recess that he was willing to strip the FCC authority from it this week. For months he Federal Communications Commission has been angling to take power over the Internet […]
Aside from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie taking the fight to the state’s greedy, education-killing teachers union the Gov has also struck a blow against rampant abortion in the Garden State by taking away state funding to abortion mills. Steven Ertelt reports that at least one Planned Parenthood office is closing down and others are […]
This is pretty momentous information. According to two people interviewed by federal agents the FBI and the U.S. Labor Dept. are investigating former Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Andy Stern. The two organized labor officials met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about a six-figure book contract that Stern landed in 2006 and […]
Moonbats want us to reuse grocery bags, so as to save trees from the paper producers who plant them and polar bears from the very concept of plastic. Once again we see that moonbattery is harmful to your health: The CALL7 Investigators tested several reusable bags used by 7NEWS colleagues and another from a woman […]
Let me explain the tasteless, poorly executed drawings above. You see, they are high art: The charcoal drawings by Gil Vicente became a focus of controversy when they went on display at the opening of the Sao Paulo Art Biennial on Saturday. The former US President George W Bush is shown kneeling on the ground […]
Just when you think Democrats could not possibly become more absurd, they surprise you: With each passing day, I’m beginning to realize that the crux of the problem for Obama is a handful of prominent progressive bloggers, among them Glenn Greenwald, John Aravosis, Digby, Marcy Wheeler and Jane Hamsher. That’s from liberal New Media guru […]
Even as liberals claim to be feminists, it’s impossible to miss that the most grotesque misogyny comes from the Left these days. Everything from “hate f*** lists,” to over-the-top sexist insults, to attacks on women’s families have become par for the course when Democrats are involved. If you want to see another all-too-typical example of […]
One might think it would be big news that a Chief Steward for a Local chapter of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is being investigated by the FBI for possible connection to overseas terror networks. Apparently, though, several Chicago news outlets didn’t see a reason to add this little fact to their stories. And […]
Last week the House Republicans issued their update of the 1994 “Contract With America.” They have labeled it the “Pledge To America,” and it was launched to a standing ovation from House Republicans. On Friday I spoke to Representative Peter Roskam (R, Ill.) and asked a few questions about this new effort. Roskam said that […]
If you are as worried as I am about the left’s effort to force ever larger amounts of big government onto our lives, then you should be looking into the issue of Net Neutrality. To that end a few times a week I’ll be posting some links and info about Net Neutrality to help you […]
Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress have gone on the largest spending spree in recorded human history and all the while, Paul Krugman has not just been cheering them on, he’s been shouting “Spend more” at the top of his lungs. Don’t believe me? Then just take a look at these Krugman quotes, It’s […]
Bob Etheridge is holding a BBQ dinner on September 29th, but not in Dunn or Smithfield or Rocky Mount. He’s holding it a block from Capitol Hill. And he’s charging $2,500 for a plate of barbeque. Now let’s guess no one – not even in Washington – is silly enough to pay $2,500 for a […]
