Fail: Obama Admin Now Even Failing at Chicago Style Politics

As further proof that whatever President Obama touches turns into a huge failure, even the administration’s recent attempts at Chicago style politics have failed miserably. They are so inept, partially due to unmitigated gall, that even the one thing in which the administration is well-versed, the Chicago Way, turns into another strike against them. You […]

Why are some Lefties so worried about an Obama impeachment?

Why is Steve Benen so worried about an Obama impeachment? What does he think Obama has done? He writes: It’s tempting to think of impeachment as a far-fetched, silly idea, barring actual impeachable offenses. But the more I think about it, the more I remember this is the House Republican caucus we’re dealing with. They’re […]

Memorial Day Post: The Warriors Among Us

Several years ago, as part of a 9/11 commemoration, I wrote the following words in connection with a post I did about Lt. Brian Ahearn, one of the New York fire fighters who perished on that day: My son, who is seven, is obsessed with superheroes. His current favorite is Superman. After all, when you’re […]

D’JEver Notice? LVII

Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin received a whole lot of criticism this week for the terrible crime she committed of being-spied-on. My d’jever-notice-moment comes from reading the late, but now lengthy, history of Palin criticism. Ever notice that with ninety-nine percent of it, if you take out all the occurrences of “Sarah Palin” and […]

Michigan To License Journalists?

This is the face of tyranny. A Michigan State Senator has introduced an Orwellian bill that would provide for the licensing of journalists. There is no doubt that this thing is aimed squarely at delegitimizing the New Media, silencing bloggers, and creating a protected class of state approved “journalists.” State Senator Bruce Patterson is the […]

IRS Asked to Review Unions’ Political Donations

The Washington Times is reporting that the Landmark Legal Foundation is requesting that the Internal Revenue Service review all the millions being spent by Big Labor on Democrat political campaigns during the 2010 midterm elections. As we discussed earlier this week, Big Labor is spending at least $100 million on the upcoming elections — actually […]

Rand Paul Takes On the 14th Amendment!

For a guy who says he’s an unequivocal backer of equal protection of the laws, you’d think Rand Paul might be a bit more, let’s say, careful in avoiding another big fight on civil rights issues. The 14th Amendment is the Holy Grail of the U.S. civil rights regime, and within a week of suggesting […]

Teacher of the Year Is Child Molester

According to the town’s slogan, Everybody’s Somebody in Snellville, Georgia. But Keenon Aampay Hall is not somebody you’d want teaching your kids: The Teacher of the Year at Shiloh High School has resigned after admitting to having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, according to records obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Keenon Aampay Hall, […]

PBS Host: Most Terrorists Are Christians

PBS, the primary bastion of coercively financed liberal elitism, has officially jumped the shark. We’ve come to expect evil lies from these condescending left-wing snobs, but nothing this preposterous, not even from Tavis Smiley. Here he is interviewing Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who unlike Smiley has some clue what she’s talking about when it comes to […]

Some Things Should Go Without Saying: Sack Tapping Is Stupid

Is our country getting dumber? Stories like these make me think so: Alright kids, we need to talk. Please take my advice: Stop watching stupid things on YouTube and then trying them at home. The latest (completely idiotic and disturbing) YouTube trend known as “sack tapping,” caused 14-year-old David Gibbons of Crosby, Minnesota more than […]

Amnesty Or Doing Nothing: Why Are Those Our Only Options?

Over at the WAPO, they’ve done an incredibly dishonest editorial about immigration that unfortunately mirrors so much of the debate, EVEN DRACONIAN measures like the one adopted in Arizona are not going to make 11 million immigrants already illegally here in this country magically disappear, let alone address this country’s dysfunctional immigration system. Neither is […]

Barack Obama’s Own Personal Oily Katrina

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. — P.J. O’Rourke Liberals believe that the government should be deeply involved in EVERYTHING. It’s in […]

70th Anniversary of Dunkirk Evacuation

Theo Spark has a brief news clip, but see Jules Crittenden, “Miracle of Deliverance“: Under heavy attack by the Luftwaffe, an estimated 5,000 were killed in the evacuation and more than 200 vessels, one in four, were lost. Total allied casualties in the battle of Dunkirk, an estimated 30,000 killed or wounded and 34,000 missing […]

An Interview With Mike Pence

Mike Pence has long been one of the fiscally conservative heroes of the House. He’s also worked his way up into a leadership position;:  he’s the Chairman of the House Republican Conference. So, when I had an opportunity to do an interview with him to promote the GOP’s America Speaking Out website, I jumped on […]

New Jersey Teachers Threw Away Decades of Goodwill

The New Jersey Star-Ledger has a wonderful little editorial excoriating New Jersey’s teachers for having destroyed their own reputation with the public because of their petulant behavior towards Governor Chris Christie’s attempts to balance New Jersey’s over spent budget. Take a gander at this… Once the patient darlings who nurtured our kids, teachers now look […]

Shocker: College Grads Not Ready For Workplace

This is what the ever increasing amount of leftist/progressive indoctrination in schools, particularly public schools, has wrought for the X generation A few weeks before graduation, dozens of York College undergrads, in shorts and flip flops, packed a campus auditorium. They’ve come to see Laura Wand, the director of marketing for Johnson Controls, one of […]

Pres. Obama’s Press Conference On The Oil Spill

In any crisis you can be sure that the opposition party will be critical of the President. But you know the President has a bigger problem when those in his own party start criticizing him: Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said Thursday that President Barack Obama will pay a political price for his lack of visibility […]

This Week In Quotes: May 21 — May 27

Every murderous totalitarian government of the 20th century began with some insulated group of faux-intellectuals congratulating each other on how smart they are, and fantasizing about how, if they could just install a dictatorship-for-a-day, they could right all the wrongs in the world. It is the ultimate fantasy of the narcissist. And we’ve got whole […]

‘But Make No Mistake …” — Obama Defends Handling of Oil Spill

That “but make no mistake” is the giveaway for President Obama’s damage control mode. The New York Times has a report, “Obama Defends Handling of Oil Spill.” Also, at Politico, “Obama: Critics ‘don’t know the facts’.” (Via Memeorandum.) The big question is whether this is Obama’s Katrina, and there’s no contest. Unlike 2005, the response […]
