It’s hard to feel sorry for the Democrats. They have an absolute lock on the White House, the House, and the Senate. That means that they can pass any legislation they want and the Republicans can’t do a thing to stop them. Moreover, they’ve convinced themselves that they’re the future and the GOP is the […]
I think we can firmly place this in the category of “good news for a Monday” The climate-change bill that has been moving slowly through the Senate will face a stark political reality when it emerges for committee debate on Tuesday: With Democrats deeply divided on the issue, unless some Republican lawmakers risk the backlash […]
Apparently the election of Barack Hussein Obama — who personifies appeasement of Islamic terrorists — wasn’t the final insult to the dead of September 11. On Saturday came one more: A small fire at the temporary home for the remains of thousands of World Trade Center victims was likely arson committed after a break-in on […]
Halloween wasn’t all candy and fun for everyone. For certain homosexual militants, it was an opportunity to vent hatred at anyone who opposes their depraved agenda. Remember the gays who hanged Sarah Palin in effigy last Halloween? They’ve escalated their war on decency with this: The pornographic effigy represents marriage advocate Maggie Gallagher. Americans for […]

In Human Events today, I talk about the effort by conservatives to back Doug Hoffman over the liberal backed by the GOP establishment. And I wonder if this isn’t the beginning of something more important — a fight not only within the GOP but AGAINST the GOP and its current leadership. There is precedent for […]
Regardless of any issues with the Afghanistan election, Karzai is the winner Afghan election officials canceled a presidential runoff and proclaimed the reelection of President Hamid Karzai on Monday, a day after Karzai’s top challenger declared he would not take part in a second round of voting scheduled for Saturday because of a persistent risk […]
I must be a paradox: I’m a free-market capitalist and I love the iPhone. From Weissthaupt at Townhall: Essentially the iPhone is safe from the Droid because most iPhone users are liberals. They are people who WANT a Mommy and Daddy watching over them. iPhone developers must navigate a Byzantine approval process that is so […]
I‘m not kidding. So says none other than the New York Times: A Week Mapping Radioactive Rabbit Feces With Detectors Mounted On A Helicopter Flying 50 Feet Over The Desert Scrub. … $300,000 In Federal Stimulus Money.” … “A government contractor at Hanford, in south-central Washington State, just spent a week mapping radioactive rabbit feces […]
This teleconference about the NY-23 race was a bit of a jumble. It featured a Rep from the Doug Hoffman campaign, Dede Scozzafava’s former spokesman, and a couple of bloggers all talking and answering questions. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference (Two quotes from the teleconference are listed. Both are in […]
My husband attended a professional multi-day seminar at an Ivy League university.: One of the classes he attended touched directly upon the work he does day in and day out.: The teacher for this seminar is a professor at the Ivy League institution.: As one of the premier “experts” in his field, he is an […]
Old joke: At a very fancy ball, a man has been talking to a woman for a while, and they’re getting along well. Eventually he asks her, “Would you sleep with me for $1 million?” She bats her eyes at him: “Oh, you romantic man!” She then suggests that they rendezvous in a quiet hotel […]
Feeling stupid yet, GOP leadership? So now the GOP leadership gets to walk around with two black eyes, the first delivered by Hoffman and conservative activists, the second by their chosen candidate.: All this on top of the fact that they threw away over $1 million on Scozzafava’s campaign.: At this stage, even if Hoffman […]
And read how the LA Times spins it as “not a tax increase”: Reporting from Los Angeles and Sacramento – Starting Sunday, cash-strapped California will dig deeper into the pocketbooks of wage earners — holding back 10% more than it already does in state income taxes just as the biggest shopping season of the year […]
After using 2009 as The Year We Exploded The Deficit, Democrats are getting a bit uneasy over their election prospects. First they had their Porkulus, then the Omnibus, the $3.5 trillion 2010 budget, and the coming massive health system overhaul and global warming tom-foolery. But, hey, they did manage to cut several defense initiatives (just […]
As we at SayNoToACORN.com are fighting to help inform you about what you can do to impress upon our local and federal officials to distance themselves from ACORN, the other side — those that support the actions of ACORN — are also organizing. This fact proves that we cannot just sit idly by and hope […]
Those old Halloween costumes really stunk, eh?
National Right to Work President Mark Mix is calling on Newt Gingrich to rescind his endorsement of Dede Scozzafava, the liberal candidate chosen by New York’s GOP powermen for the special election for the 23rd District Congressional seat. The reason? Scozzafava is a supporter of the Employee Free Choice Act and Newt has said he […]
Just up is a piece I wrote for Pajamas Media–before the news of today and had to update it–about identity politics in the Republican Party. Here’s part of it: Maybe it will take another generation for the novelty of women in power to wear off so that women can be looked at for the content […]
The GOP establishment’s definitely getting a shake-up! This calls for some be-bopping: Okay, from CNN, “Gingrich Endorses Hoffman“: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who came under fire from some conservatives for endorsing Dede Scozzafava in next week’s special Congressional election in New York, is now backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Gingrich made the announcement […]
There are many kinds of courage. We hear most about the bravery of battle, when the adrenaline is pumping and soldiers are fighting just to stay alive. But we rarely hear about the incredible courage and strength needed to sit up for the first time despite searing pain, to stand, to take those few wobbly […]
From Jamie Kirchick, “The Fork in J Street: Will the New Israel Lobby Disavow Its Extreme Left Flank?” After the introduction, Kirchick writes: In the weeks leading up to its conference, J Street was wracked by a series of controversies. The group had to cancel a poetry session after it was exposed that one of […]
With Scozzafava’s “suspension” of her candidacy, GOP elites in Washington may have dodged a bullet. But we can’t forget that they are the ones who put conservatives into this position in the first place.: The MSM wants to blame “angry” right wingers for the fight.: In fact, it was just the opposite. : What happened […]
It’s… transparency like you’ve never seen! The White House blog gushes: We previously announced that the White House in December of this year would — for the first time in history — begin posting all White House visitor records under the terms of our new voluntary disclosure policy. As part of that initiative, we also […]
As I always say, if you want the truth from the NY Times, check the Saturday edition. The editors all slip out for an early Martini, leaving time for those who believe in journalism to write and post their stories. Witness The best symbol of the $787 billion federal stimulus program turns out not to […]
I blogged about this last week, and it turns out Ann Althouse and Andrea Harris agree, so… Shut up about breast cancer awareness. We are so ‘frickin aware I’m gonna vomit. People are always “raising awareness” about things everybody knows about. It is the activism of cowards. Especially women, who are so desperate for safety […]
