Obama Threatens to Close Key Air Force Base to Coerce Healthcare Vote

Chicago politics now guides our national security. From The Weekly Standard’s blog: Twenty Republican senators have requested that the Senate Armed Services Committee launch an investigation into reports that the Obama White House threatened to close Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force base unless Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson fell into line on health care. Those reports first […]

Why Is The Governator In Copenhagen When His State’s Economy Is In The Crapper? And, “Saracuda Tougher Than Schwarzenegger”

Politics Daily’s Matt Lewis baits the lefties at MSNBC: Should President Obama be over in Copenhagen? If his goal is an empty, symbolic gesture, yes. If he cares about America, no. It doesn’t serve America’s interests to negotiate with 3rd world thugs and pretend that giving these regimes money will make the climate better. The […]

Russians Say CRU Manipulated Data

Now why would the CRU do that? Certainly, it couldn’t have anything to do with money, power, and prestige, right?ClimateGate just got worse for the alarmists, no matter how much they want to ignore the issue or throw things like the 4 year olds liberals tend to emulate, via The Telegraph Climategate just got much, […]

China Buys Energy in Our Backyard

It is always comforting to hear that our legislators prevent us from developing our own natural resources to protect the environment. Yet, they don’t realize that China doesn’t have to follow the same rules that our government sets for American citizens. Consequently, China is developing oil where Americans can’t. Wonderful! Here is a great post […]

Climategate: So The Raw Data WAS Manipulated

Latest charge: The CRU cooked data from Russia, specifically and especially Siberia.Absolutely shocking: They specifically state that lack of measurement is not the cause. If they claim the full set of Russian data does NOT support global warming, imagine how different the bright red dot over Russia would look. Again the accusation is completely believable, […]

Fumbling Gitmo

I think perhaps the promise to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba – a supposed symbol of American shame – and the subsequent inability to do so is symbolic of how inept, to this point, this administration has been. President Obama, while a candidate, had a guaranteed applause line each time he promised to […]

The Obamacare War: The Left Continues To Turn On The Bill

The honest truth is that Obamacare, at its heart, is not really about healthcare. To the contrary, it’s about giving more power to the government and by extension, the Left. If this health care bill breaks the budget, leads to millions of Americans dying prematurely because of rationing, and drives costs up, liberals are fine […]

Tiger and Obama

Well, you knew the comparison was bound to happen. Tiger and Pres. Obama. But who would have guessed it would come from a liberal at the Huffington Post titled “Two Black Role Models Done In By Hubris“? In the past few weeks, the two most famous and arguably most successful black men in America have […]

Tiger Woods Comes Down To Earth

Salacious. The topic has produced obscene interest. Different theories are put forth: Yes, Americans like to see achievers fail. Yes, people are petty, small and voyeuristic. Yes, it’s a relief for some people to focus on the travails of others rather than their own miserable existence. I think Tiger counted on Americans being just this […]

President Barack Obama Is In Charge

The downside of being large and in charge is the in charge part. Well, the downside of being large and in charge when things go ill, is the in charge part. Otherwise, being in charge is totally fun. When it comes to health care, things bode ill. It’s getting less fun to be in charge. […]

Rep. Brian Billbray: Rep. Gutierrez is Creating the Next Wave of Illegal Immigration

Representative Luis Gutierrez (D, IL) will introduce another stab at “comprehensive immigration reform” this month and it’s been given another one of those Orwellian names that you know means the opposite of what it says in the title. Gutierrez is calling this mess the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, […]

Cops Insist on Getting Paid for Dressing Themselves

Here is another reason why unions need to be destroyed… Do you think your boss should pay you for getting dressed in the morning or for taking off your day’s clothes to climb into your snuggly Pjs each night? No reasonable, sane person would. But unions are neither reasonable, sane, nor apparently interested in what’s […]

Midwife Describes Chaos of Britain’s Socialized Medicine

Britain’s socialized medical system once again demonstrates what we will find when we go over Chairman Zero’s “precipice” into government-run healthcare. Verena Burns, a midwife who recently escaped from the National Health Service into private practice, tells tales of horror: Welcome to the modern NHS maternity ward. A world of shoddy practice, poor hygiene standards […]

Yet Another Untruth From Al Gore: Increased Tree Mortality

The international liberal elite had better figure out a way to shut up Al Gore if they are going to use the global warming hoax to impose worldwide socialism. The Goracle does rally the left’s brain-dead base, but the rest of us are well aware that nothing this figure of fun bellows is true. Among […]

Illinois Deserves Better Than This

President Obama’s decision to relocate Guantanamo Bay’s inmates to my home state of Illinois is a misguided decision that will ultimately be regretted. Proponents of the decision have failed to prove how this move will make America safer. Let’s be clear: the Administration is not closing Guantanamo, they are simply moving Guantanamo to Illinois. The […]

Latest AGW Scare: 20% Of All Species Could Perish

Yet another in a long line of face palm pronouncements from the Climate Alarmist camp Up to a fifth of all species of animals and plants risk extinction even if the world manages to limit global warming to levels widely viewed as safe, the head of the Convention on Biological Diversity said. Ahmed Djoghlaf also […]

Fail Tag: Hillary Discusses The Reality Of Obama’s Iran Policy

Let’s watch As Jim Hoft points out, Hillary stated that the Obama admin has stood by the Iranian protesters. Jim points out otherwise. Furthermore, has anyone heard word one from the President regarding the protests going on since the […]

Christan Marashio runs a popular dating advice blog called “……And THAT’S Why You’re Single.” After reading her blog, I’ve found her writing to be superb and her advice to be generally spot-on. So, I managed to run down Christan for an interview. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation: …What misconceptions do you […]

An Inconvenient Mess

Copenhagen has settled into what can only be characterized as an embarrassment for those who had hoped to see a historic treaty limiting greenhouse gases signed. World leaders – with Gordon Brown arriving tonight in the vanguard – are facing the humiliating prospect of having little of substance to sign on Friday, when they are […]

Bo-Tax: Why This Is A Problem

Deep in the bowels of the health care monstrosity being rammed down our throats, there is a provision that will add a 5% tax on a “cosmetic surgery and medical procedures.”:  The $849 cost of this bill, which Democrats in Congress have done such a brilliant job of ignoring thus far, has to be paid […]

Today’s Code Red Rally

Today, Americans showed up in force again at Upper Senate Park for the Code Red Senate Rally. Similar to Michele Bachmann’s House Call last month, today was a day for constituents to show up and speak to their Senators on their own turf. I just left the rally, and as I write this, Laura Ingraham […]

Gitmo To Chicago

For your consideration: Alexander Statement on Proposal to Relocate Gitmo Detainees to American Soil WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today issued the following statement on the administration’s proposal to move detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States: “Congress made it very clear to the administration that […]

Would Chicago Gun Rights Case Destroy Federalism?

For the Family Research Council, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski warned in a Washington Times op ed that a case on gun rights that will soon come before the Supreme Court could “trigger the unhinging of American culture.” Not only do I think the pair went too far in their claim, I also think they […]
