CNS News has been asking a simple question to anyone in Congress they can get a minute with to ask. It’s simple. “Federally, if you look at it from a federal standpoint, what area, specifically of the Constitution, would give Congress the power to mandate an individual to have health insurance?” When they asked Nancy […]
Ken Marrero over at Blue Collar Muse reminds us that there are a few Democrats that could possibly be persuaded to vote against House Speaker Pelosi’s healthcare bill. Word has it that Pelosi is going to try and strong-arm her bill to a floor vote this Saturday, so if you want to stop this bill, […]
Plus, Ron Reagan couples “tea baggers” with Murderer Nidal Hasan. In 2008 The George Washington University Homeland Security Institute (HSPI) initiated a transition task force to help craft homeland security policies during Obama’s transition period. In May of 2009 HSPI finished its report titled, “Thinking Anew-Security Priorities for the Next Administration.” One of the members […]
One of the jobs of the “Whip” position in Congress is to count votes so that the leadership has an understanding of what sort of support their legislative efforts have. These Whip counts are often made public knowledge (but not always) and The Hill has reported the latest counting of House Democrats and where they […]
From Ralph Peters’ latest column: On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting “Allahu Akbar!” committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam. What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at […]
While the mainstream is obsessing over the idea of a Republican civil war, they’re largely ignoring the fact that there’s a fight that is every bit as ugly, if not uglier, shaping up on the Left: A few days ago, the left-wing activist group MoveOn.org began sending out emails seeking contributions to fund primary challenges […]
This is unsurprising: You don’t create jobs by making the bureaucracy bigger. You pull resources from the private sector making job creation impossible. President Obama is making all this worse by creating complete instability. No one knows what he is going to do next. So, businesses hoard cash. Business continue hiring freezes even as business […]
How does a man weened on politically correct thought, race grievance, and collective versus individual responsibility deal with this: American born Muslim man Soldier Psychiatrist Murderer Terrorist Here was the President’s response: President Obama gave a shout out before his statements about the rampage at Ft. Hood. Does that seem dissonant to you? Bookworm calls […]
Yesterday the Moonbat Messiah turned stomachs with his inappropriate demeanor when he gave a jaunty “shout-out” to “Congressional Medal of Honor winner” Joe Medicine Crow before belatedly getting around to delivering his obligatory words of regret over Religion of Peacenik Nidal Malik Hasan’s horrific killing spree. However, NewsBusters informs us that Joe Medicine Crow, said […]
If there’s one thing sanctimonious moonbats will never run short of, it’s pernicious unintended consequences. From Israel: The Environmental Protection Ministry confirmed to The Jerusalem Post this week that it has launched an independent study of exposure to electromagnetic radiation from hybrid car batteries. There have been concerns raised both here and abroad that the […]
Regardless of who is right or who is wrong, it seems to me when victories by one faction over the other are scored in a society’s significant political events, the assault that lead to the victory more often than not has been spearheaded by the battering ram known as the question-mark. We may debate why […]
There’s not much that union supporters and I can agree upon. But here is one incident where I can wholeheartedly support the aggrieved members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who have found themselves victims of their own union. The SEIU wanted to renegotiate a contract with officials of Sonoma County, California for its […]
The Fish Wrap Of Record is still spinning away at why Corzine lost New Jersey, one of the Bluest of Blue states, trying to blame it on Corzine’s short-comings and it having nothing to do with Obama, despite Barry’s numerous visits to the state, but, inadverdently makes an interesting point: Unlucky and Aloof, Corzine Fell […]
Obama and The Donkeys is perhaps the worst band ever. Never have so many been so tone deaf. Lead singer Nancy Pelosi is pushing them over the edge, refusing to listen to her audience from poll after poll stating that they do not like her 1,900+ piece. Nor does she listen to any of the […]
“We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan.” — Hillary Clinton Maybe the greatest thing about human beings is if you show us the most desolate, horrible place on Earth, at least one of us will scratch his chin and say, “I bet land […]
I have been missing from the site for several days and I’d like to explain why. I attended the State Policy Network 17th Annual conference in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Here is what I found: Some final thoughts on the State Policy Network‘s 17th Annual Conference. It was invigorating to be able to share a […]
I have some seriously mixed emotions right now. Today was amazing. I was blown away by the shift in the GOP Representatives. There were so many who were FINALLY getting it. It was like they realized we weren’t going away, and they’d better get on board. It’s about time. I have been busting my tail […]
* I’m going to update this semi-regularly for the next couple of hours. At the moment, information is surprisingly not-so-surprisingly sketchy. Often times, you get conflicting information about what happened in the immediate aftermath of an event like this. So far, I’ve heard, there are two key pieces of data that I’m hearing conflicting data […]
* “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” — Elie Wiesel * “Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.” — Tony Robbins * “I know you’re a feminist and I think that’s adorable, but this is grown-up time and I’m the man.” — Family […]
Are you morally opposed to abortion? Do you think it’s the greatest evil in American history? Do you believe it’s absolutely, incontrovertibly incompatible with your religious views? That’s too bad, because under Obamacare, you’ll be personally funding abortions: From House Republican Leader, John Boehner: Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to […]
Stressing official preference for pandering to political correctness rather than controlling crime, police in Oxford, England are puttering around in electric ecojokes. The $33,000 Mitsubishi iMievs are guaranteed unhurtful to polar bears (since electricity is generated from pixie dust) and can go 100 miles on a charge — but only with the lights off. Consequently, […]
Sometimes it seems liberal Euroweenies are deliberately testing to see just how much totalitarian moonbattery they can ram down people’s throats before encountering significant resistance. In the latest outrage against liberty and national sovereignty, bureaucrats of the European Court of Human Rights have ruled that Italians cannot have crucifixes on the walls of their classrooms. […]
If belief in man caused global warming is a religion, it is a really silly one. I suspect that if Monty Python were still doing skits, they would have a tough time attempting to make a joke out of the global warming more than the Disciples Of Gore already do Large wardrobes of seldom-used clothes […]
That’s the word from Mark Tapscott at the Washington Examiner: Gas prices here in the U.S. are creeping back up towards the $3-per-gallon mark even as news breaks today that China’s state-owned energy firm just closed a deal to buy interests in four development leases on the American Outer Continental Shelf (OTS) in the Gulf […]
David Almacy now of Edleman Public Relations as Senior Vice President for Digital Affairs and formerly White House Internet and E Communications Office Director of Media Affairs for President Bush, spoke with me about the White House’s claim that the website the Obama team received was archaic and out-of-date. This simply was not true. As […]
Quite frankly, one of the last people in the Republican Party who should be discussing the direction of the Republican Party is old Mr. Amnesty himself The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive […]
What follows is an interview done, via email, with Congressman Steve King. Will the healthcare bill winding its way though Congress fund abortion? Absolutely. H.R. 3962 includes the Capps Amendment, adopted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which authorizes direct taxpayer funding for abortions under the public plan. It will be left to the […]
