The full story is at the New York Times, “4 Arrested in Phone Tampering at Landrieu Office.” And Michelle Malkin expresses the surprise on the conservative right, “Ugh: ACORN-Buster Busted at Sen. Landrieu’s Office in Alleged Bugging Plot; Affidavit Link Added“: The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that James O’Keefe, half of the ACORN-busting duo that […]
I don’t care much for football unless my son is playing. I usually go to Superbowl parties to eat and chat. But this year I’m looking forward to a certain commercial that will run during the game. No, not the funny ones, although I like them too. Focus on the Family is running a controversial […]
Marion Berry, Democratic Representative from Arkansas, has decided to retire from Congress voluntarily instead of chancing an involuntary retirement via the ballot box. Berry is considered a “blue dog” Democrat and is from a nominally conservative state whose voters have made it clear they don’t support the policies or agenda of this Congress or this […]
In Brazil, socialists have been taking advantage of the World Social Forum as an opportunity to denounce economic development and demand that poverty be imposed on everyone. Complained union thug Arthur da Silva Santos: There are just a few hundred companies today that hold all the cards for the global economy. The goal for the […]
Here‘s how the great Ronaldus Maximus summed up Big Government’s view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Thanks to the relentless growth of the bureaucratic cancer that is choking the life out of our country, ever more of the economy […]
Once Scott Brown took away the Democrat super majority in the Senate by becoming the Republican’s 41st vote based in large part on the fact that Massachusetts voters were unhappy with Obamacare, one would think that President Obama and the Democrat Party would learn a vital lesson. A look at a dozen or so stories […]
After yelling “Bush, Cheney, Palin, Tea Parties” as loud as they could in Massachusetts and not getting anywhere, the Democrats have a new tactic: they’re going to try to kill the Tea Party support for Republicans. How, pray tell, you may be wondering are they going to do that? By lowering spending and the growth […]
No one can put this together in such a concise manner than Victor Davis Hanson. Here he remembers how mesmerized America was with Obama right after the election last year: ” And now? On every issue – more bailouts, more stimuli, more deficits, higher taxes, statist health care, cap and trade, diplomatic apologetics, the shunning […]
Stalin once said, “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this – who will count the votes, and how.” A similar principle can be applied to global warming. It doesn’t matter whether the planet is actually warming to people like Al Gore. What […]
Yes, he said it: “I’d rather be a really good one term president, than a mediocre two term president.” Uh huh. Those are our only two choices? How about a mediocre one term president, ‘cuz that’s the way it seems to be going. Check out the video. You can tell he’s pained when he says […]
I love this week. I love that fact that so many folks come to town and we celebrate life. The pro life movement is that one interest group involved in public policy with nothing to gain financially – they simply do it because it’s the right thing to do, because it’s the truth. It shows […]
So, apparently, Obama is also going to throw out that he will freeze some small portion of federal spending during Wednesday’s SOTU, as directed by Secretary Teleprompter President Obama will call for a three-year freeze in spending on many domestic programs, and for increases no greater than inflation after that, an initiative intended to signal […]

This will be a good year for not just Republican gains, but for conservative gains. Consider Marco Rubio in Florida: Marco Rubio, who began last year as a total unknown, has pulled ahead of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate Republican primary for the first time, in a new Quinnipiac poll released today. […]
One of the biggest problems we have in this country is that so few Americans understand how our government works in the real world. Since that’s the case, most people simply aren’t capable of making an informed judgment about whether politicians can deliver on a promise. With that in mind, it seems like a good […]
I wonder if this is causing any concern among those folks tasked with keeping an eye on Islam, Muslims, and terrorism? Somerset County investigators seized a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher and hundreds of rounds of ammunition today from the Branchburg motel room of a Virginia man, who also had maps of a […]
As noted earlier, it’s only a matter of time until our insatiably greedy socialist rulers seize our retirement accounts. Another ominous warning: Washington is in a desperate search for more revenue and a solution to the future financing of the trillions in national debt obligations currently held by foreign central banks and investors. Economists, politicians […]
In this video I talk briefly about my piece at the Daily Caller regarding a fake science report.
Now why would the UN’s wannabe global rulers lie to us about glaciers melting? One possible answer: to wrap their arms around massive piles of grant money. The chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of […]
Pollster Frank Luntz is trying to hawk his new poll on gun laws commissioned by the left-wing group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He’s trying to sell the concept that NRA members are just as interested in “common-sense gun policies” as anti-gun nuts and that legislators should take this into account when crafting future anti-gun legislation. […]
Over on Twitter, conservatives managed to get a trending topic going called, “#3wordslibshate.” Here are a few of them that caught my fancy: Manbearpig is dead! — johnhawkinsrwn One term president — LyssCordova Husband and wife — bbirr Guantanamo Still Open — DutchReaganite Animals taste delicious! — johnhawkinsrwn I Pledge Allegiance — lvgolfin President Sarah […]
With some ups and downs, unions have been steadily losing members for quite a while and 2009 is no exception. According to the Labor Dept., private-sector unions lost 834,000 members last year. On Friday, the Labor Department reported private-sector unions lost 834,000 members, bringing membership down to 7.2% of the private-sector work force, from 7.6% […]
Joe Klein illustrates the anger coming from the left. The Democrats are imploding. The voters are frustrated. The horizon doesn’t look better for the libs. Who’s to blame? Not the Democrats. Never them. It’s YOUR fault, says Joe Klein in his post titled Too Dumb To Thrive: It is very difficult to have a democracy […]
Texas Governor Rick Perry hosted a blogger meet-up in Austin, Texas this last weekend. Friday night, twenty of us met up at the gun range with the Governor. He showed fellow bloggers Kathleen McKinley and Robbie Cooper and me how to shoot his laser-guided, tiny Ruger LCP .380. It was a nice, light little gun, […]
Right Wing News polled more than 250 right-of-center bloggers on which candidate they’d support if the 2012 Republican primaries were today.

Liberals around the world are probably sad right now, and wondering what the USA might have done to make Ali such a bad person Ali Hassan al-Majid, a former Iraqi official known as Chemical Ali, has been executed by hanging, a government spokesman has announced. Majid, an enforcer in Saddam Hussein’s regime and his cousin, […]
For those of you who don’t know who Ellie Light is, let’s get you updated. From HotAir: In recent days, a letter defending Obama has appeared in dozens of newspapers throughout the country — all signed by an “Ellie Light.” In the letters, which all use identical language, Ms. Light explains that Obama never promised […]
He feels your pain. And, by “he,” I mean it will all be about Obama pandering, lying, and bribing the middle class as he talks about himself. Because it is all about Obama. You? You’re just a means to an end. I wonder if we need to get a good drinking game going for Tuesday […]
The latest edition of our Silicon Graffiti video blog is coming to you in glorious black & white this week, as a reminder that despite the hip, sleek high tech Internet campaign that Senator Barack Obama ran in 2008, President Obama has governed to date very much like a boring, mid century old fogy…
