Military guys have been overwhelmingly against this when I’ve talked to them, but I’ve noted that Israel hasn’t had problems with openly gay guys. What do you think? Should the Feds lift Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Yes No pollcode.com free polls
Here are my notes, not quotes, from a teleconference I just got off of with Senator Tom Coburn. Opening remarks: We just saw two amendments defeated that would have paid for the (emergency war funding). We only lost one Republican on each vote, but still lost. If we want to get out of fiscal trouble, […]
State lawmaker Raul Labrador beat party establishment pick Vaughn Ward to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Representative for Idaho’s 1st District this week. While Ward was supported by the national party, Labrador received the support of Idaho’s largest Tea Party Group, Tea Party Boise. The question that immediately comes to mind is just what […]
Next year, we’re going to be 10 years out from 9/11. We know, without question, that there are terrorists out there who desperately want to come to this country and murder as many people as possible.: We go through ridiculously inconvenient security measures at the airports. We have no-fly lists. We have instituted incredibly controversial […]
Things have come to a pretty pass in the once great state of Michigan when even Republicans are calling for Big Government to exert more direct control over the press. From Jack Lessenberry: State Senator Bruce Patterson got to thinking about the media recently, and noticed something. Hairdressers and auto mechanics are regulated and licensed […]
Let’s see, how could moonbat bureauweenies make the job of police officers even more difficult and deadly, guaranteeing that anyone sensible bails out of the profession at the first opportunity? Here’s an idea: City cops are livid over a legislative proposal that could handcuff the brave officers involved in life-and-death confrontations every day — requiring […]
For decades unions have mishandled their pension funds. These funds have been embezzled into the pockets of union chiefs, they have been wasted on needless expenses, and have been spent away on left-wing political causes not to mention simple mismanagement and bad investing. It has gotten so bad that few union pension funds for the […]
As if Rand Paul wasn’t enough! Now we have plump Indonesian 2 year-old Ardi Rizal creating an international sensation with his pack-a-day cigarette habit! Fearing for the health of the child, the Indonesian government offered to buy the family a car if they’d get the tot to quit. But Ardi’s proud freedom-loving daddy Mohammed responded, […]
Whatever else you want to say about the Democrats during this cycle, you can’t say they haven’t gotten a lot done. Moreover, Barack Obama may be a pathological liar, but he wasn’t lying about the change. That promise, ambiguous though it may be, he kept. Yet, what do we hear? The Democrats seem to want […]
Not so long ago, I was upset with the State of Things and it was Andrew Malcolm the LA Times Blogger, my podcasting co-host and former NYT editor, who disabused me of the notion. Recalling the race riots of the late 60s and the angst around the Vietnam war, he convinced me that we ain’t […]
Yesterday at Right Wing News, I wrote the following about the stalker/journalist who moved in next to Sarah Palin, Here’s a thought: Build a fence taller than the rented house, knock it out in a week, and then hold a press conference in front of it asking why the federal government can’t do the same […]
Well, it’s not like they’d have a hard time getting over. At Fox News, “Feds Issue Terror Watch for the Texas/Mexico Border” (via Memeorandum): Anthony Joseph Tracy, of Virginia, who admitted to having ties to Al Shabaab, is currently being prosecuted for his alleged role in an international ring that illegally brought more than 200 […]
I bet quite a few folks in Arizona are breathing easier after this news Zack de la Rocha has issued a statement on behalf of an organization called the Sound Strike urging music fans and fellow artists to boycott Arizona “to stop SB 1070,” which he labels an “odious” law. Who? Oh, the guy who […]
In the past week, the Obama administration and fellow Democrats have let their true feelings for America known more than ever before. Well, at least more blatantly. They aren’t even bothering to hide it now and have lost all shame. No longer content with merely worshipping at the altar of multiculturalism, they are now going […]
A shockingly unsurprising and completely unexpectedly expected report Just weeks after the failed car bombing of New York’s Times Square, the Department of Homeland Security says “the number and pace of attempted attacks against the United States over the past nine months have surpassed the number of attempts during any other previous one-year period.” That […]
Did Hollywood finally see at a least a sliver of the light? Sure, Sex and the City isn’t really Feminist Hawk-y. They promulgate that whole “sexual empowerment” meme that is actually harmful to women and demeaning to them. As such, they generally fit the liberal Feminist (Femisogynist) role. That’s where this movie gets interesting. They […]
I will be in Arizona this weekend to report on the major anti-illegal immigration protest in Phoenix. Organizers are turning this into a nationwide movement to “bring your racism down,” according to Arizona Daily Sun: Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Labor Organizing Network, said there is a need to focus attention on Arizona. […]
I’m doing the Jaz McKay show at 4:07 PM EST. You can listen here.
One nice thing about having the mainstream media on your side is you can pull stunts like this and most people will never know about it: Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks. The worker, Naomi […]
Had enough massive federal bailouts? Our rulers in Washington haven’t. Next come the outrageously lavish and clearly unsustainable pension plans unions receive: A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. If passed, the bill could put another $165 billion in liabilities on the shoulders of American taxpayers. The bill, […]
On 9/11 : radical Muslims murdered almost 3,000 Americans in the name of Islam. Now, Islam is going to be allowed to profit from those attacks? Manhattan liberals say “yes,” A New York community board has resoundingly backed a controversial plan for an Islamic cultural center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. The non-binding vote […]
To this day, when it comes to Barack Obama, the mainstream press has been almost uniserially uninterested in investigating his background. But, Sarah Palin? She: has a weird stalker/journalist living next to her now,this to add, Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a […]
The White House has suddenly decided to send 1,200 National Guards to our southwest border. This might seem like welcome news. After all, the border needs all the help it can get. McCain insists it’s not nearly enough. But both of them are wrong. As Charles Krauthammer pointed out on Tuesday night’s Fox News, this […]
What is astonishing about the Moody’s credit rating is that America still has Aaa standing at all. From Mary Childs in Bloomberg: The U.S. retains its top rating for now because of a “high degree of economic and institutional strength,” the New York- based ratings company said in a statement today that was little changed […]
As many of you may have heard, Will Folks, who supposedly runs the most popular political blog in South Carolina (I don’t recall ever hearing of it before), has alleged that he had an “inappropriate sexual relationship” with SC Governor candidate Nikki Haley. The circumstances surrounding this allegation have been suspicious — to say the […]
Evidently, President Obama wants to mend fences with Benjamin Netanyahu so he’s invited the Prime Minister to the White House next week. I wonder if he’ll feed him dinner. Hmmm…I wonder if President Obama is feeling friendly because of this: United States President Barack Obama has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews, […]
Unions are meant for one thing and one thing only: to “get” for its members. They have one purpose and that is to take as much from an employer as they can take, to get as much money and benefits as they can get away with. Unions are not interested in assuring quality workmanship, they […]
All I have to say is, this is very disappointing. Oh, and despicable After a raucous hearing, a Manhattan community board backed a proposal on Tuesday evening to build a Muslim community center near the World Trade Center. The 29-to-1 vote, with 10 abstentions, followed a four-hour back-and-forth between those who said the community center […]
The powerful pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List has just announced a $215,000 independent expenditure campaign “highlighting the strong pro-life stance of California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.” The campaign leading up to the June 8 California primary will involve “aggressive online advertising and e-mail campaign, targeted calls to 600,000 registered voters and direct fundraising from […]
This isn’t my normal post, but I’m a sucker for a fascinating concept. From Awaken the Giant Within. Beyond that, I’d toss in the Bible and Ayn Rand’s
