So, these two self-absorbed, narcissistic “in crowd” people hook up, get married and together, they have a smugly satisfying good run. People looking from the outside thought, honey, I don’t think he’s what he’s advertising. But you know what they say about love…. And then, shock! He’s a creep. Everyone else saw it, well, those […]
This does not surprise me at all. From Pew research: More than half (55%) of all adults in the labor force say that since the Great Recession began 30 months ago, they have suffered a spell of unemployment, a cut in pay, a reduction in hours or have become involuntary part-time workers, according to a […]
I knew science was political. And I knew political types like to monkey with science. But this action by Elena Kagan should disqualify her from the Supreme Court. In addition, the ACOG should be abandoned by science-minded doctors. Here’s the story: It seems that the most important statement in the famous position paper of the […]
I caught this little bit of Obama propaganda through ye olde Twitter, via Doug Mataconis at Outside The Beltway. Headline from Marc: Agitprop Alert: The Jones Act And The Oil Spill (ps: those who are serving a far, far left agenda should probably not be throwing around words like “agitprop“). Here is his central point […]
Well, it’s about time.: : With a hurricane forming in the Gulf, oil washing up along the shorelines along the Gulf states, and major damage already done to the coast and industries, Obama finally has accepted foreign help: The United States is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil […]
Last week the Chicago Tribune published an editorial detailing the biggest reason why unions as they have operated in the U.S. for decades are an illegitimate venture. The Trib published a plea to new Chicago teachers union chief Karen Lewis not to protect the bad teachers under her charge and to help the younger teachers […]
Now this: card from Americans for Tax Reform is fun : work, You may have noticed that President Obama has broken his central campaign promise — a “firm pledge” that Americans making less than $250,000 would not see “any form of tax increase.” He first broke this pledge sixteen days into his presidency when he signed […]
I made this.: It was originally titled, “10 Reasons to Vote for Democrats This November.” Then Joe Biden went for frozen custard. Enjoy:
At least we’ve learned our lesson, and the Fanny/Freddy debacle that caused the economy to collapse in 2008 has been put behind us… Say, what’s that jutting up out of the ocean just ahead? For American taxpayers, now on the hook for some $145 billion in housing losses connected to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac […]
Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed that she was indeed using our doctors as political leverage by not passing the Senate version of the doc fix–triggering a 21.2% pay reduction in the Medicare fee schedule.: When Pelosi said she would not vote on the standalone version of the doc fix and blamed the Republicans, I […]
By now we all know that Comrade Obama is in very tight with the unions — so tight that he discarded the rule of law to favor the UAW at the expense of secured creditors when he seized control of Chrysler. If he is able to ram Card Check through Congress, unions will have an […]
Zev Chafets is the author of Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One. Chafets wrote the book with Limbaugh’s cooperation and it gave him a fascinating window into Limbaugh’s world. So, as someone who has been a Rush fan since college, I was really looking forward to talking to Chafets. What follows is a slightly edited […]
Marc Theissen has an excellent piece today about Afghanistan and President Obama’s deadlines: The deadline is more than a tactical error; it is a strategic miscalculation that undermines almost every element of our efforts in Afghanistan. A withdrawal date undermines the very premise of a counterinsurgency strategy — that by protecting the population, you can […]
Many on the left cannot stand that Sarah Palin has strong opinions, and is expressing them across this country. It amazes me what they will do to stop free speech when they don’t agree with it. You may have heard about Palin speaking at California University for a fundraiser for their 50 yrs anniversary. Palin […]
UPDATE:: The Hill reports that Scott Brown (R-MA) will vote against the bill due to the $19 billion of fees (taxes): on financial: firms. The Hill is reporting: some interesting developments regarding the financial market takeover regulation reform bill: Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) said Monday he would vote against advancing Wall Street overhaul legislation. The move raises pressure […]
In the wake of the new Supreme Court decision on the 2nd Amendment, we have this illuminating story from Ohio and if this isn’t the perfect example of why American gun owners fear detailed firearm owners registration records in the hands of government officials there isn’t one to be had. Ohio’s State Democrat Party recently […]
It’s time once again for some more left-wing hand wringing over the supposed rise of “white militias” in the era of Obama. This time it is the blather of Metro Columnist Courtland Milloy claiming that white-based hate groups have increased substantially because we have a black president. Milloy also rails about the “racial double standard” […]
Once again, Los Federales are nickle and diming the security of our nation. Bush was disappointing, and Obama has continued this alarming trend The Texas and Arizona governors criticized the Obama administration’s border security plans Monday, saying not enough National Guard troops are being deployed to their states. “What we heard wasn’t anything what we […]
The oil spill in the Gulf AKA Obamatrina has been a disaster for everyone involved. Millions of ordinary people who did nothing wrong are taking a huge economic hit, it’s a genuine environmental disaster, BP may end up going bankrupt over the whole disaster, and Obama’s incompetence has been so galling that even Democratic apparatchik’s […]
It seems that that at least one person took exception to a certain billboard A billboard that was put up by an atheist group that purposely omitted references to God has been defaced — and had the words ‘under God’ added. The billboards were put up in Charlotte and across North Carolina the week of […]
Originally posted at David Horowitz’s NewsReal __ Mark Morford’s San Francisco Chronicle column is what a leftist’s diary might look like — if that leftist was a horny 14-year-old with a man-sized crush on Obama and a predilection for verbally abusing conservative women. Hmm. Scratch that. Morford’s column is exactly what a leftist’s diary would […]
It sure seems like President Obama despises Republican states. The industry remains dormant in the Gulf. Like the dry fields of California, acres and acres of livelihood being destroyed by Democrat mismanagement, so to the Gulf states see their fields dying and they’re lives destroyed. From CNN: The offshore drilling ban imposed after the BP […]
Ann Althouse has been raising some big questions about the secretive JournaList. For example, “The entire Journolist archive needs to be made public.” Now there’s an initiative to raise money and buy the JournoList archives so Althouse can open up that can of worms. Meanwhile, Weigel offered a “weasely” explanation for the affair at Big […]
I was actually surprised about the holding in the recent Supreme Court decision. After the previous 2nd Amendment case, I thought for sure that the 2nd Amendment would protect an individual right to bear arms. But, I didn’t think it would apply to the States as well. Well, it turns out today is a great […]
It’s rather shocking that this Democrat Congress — well known by now for their spend-and-borrow tactics — would fail to produce even a budget outline for the coming year. Do the American people not deserve a little direction on where their hard earned taxpayer dollars will be going, and in what vague amounts? The most […]
In case you need another reason to take anything you read on Wikipedia with a grain of salt: Chat room posts show a clear effort by pedophiles to use Wikipedia, which can be accessed unfiltered in public schools across the country, to further their agenda. Message board posts often include links to specific Wikipedia articles […]
Top Note: See also Ed Driscoll’s earlier entry, “Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) Dead at 92.” Thought this was worth cross-posting, in any case. ********** God rest his soul. At the video, former Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, in a 2007 floor speech, decries as barbaric Michael Vick’s dog-fighting operation. Byrd was 92 and the longest […]
Arizona’s Congressional District 7 is run as a fiefdom by Raul (formerly Ralph) Grijalva, a militant moonbat who has actually called on the rest of the country to boycott his own state for attempting to enforce federal immigration law with SB1070. Grijalva presides over an extensive political machine, which with the help of Tucson’s wacky […]
At long last the 2nd Amendment has been considered a personal right per the Supreme Court of the United States. In McDonald v the City of Chicago the Supreme Court has ruled in a 5 to 4 decision that Chicago’s gun banning laws are not in keeping with the right to self-defense as enshrined in […]
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the Constitution’s “right to keep and bear arms” applies nationwide as a restraint on the ability of the federal, state and local governments to substantially limit its reach. Just as in as with the Washington, DC Heller case in 2008, the ruling was 5-4. The voting […]
