Pelosi Thwarting Transparency Measures, Won’t Allow Public to See Healthcare Bill
On September 25, we reported on the Walden Discharge Petition that Representative Joe Wilson informed us about in a conference telephone call. Wilson told us of a resolution that would force all bills that come before the House for a vote to be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before the members can vote […]

Michele Bachmann Dismisses MSNBC
As the corrupt liberal establishment that produced Comrade Obama continues to fail our country, it will give way to alternatives that are more responsive to our needs. An example is journalism, where upstart Fox News continues to smoke the duckspeaking propagandists that comprise its entrenched competition. Unless prevented by totalitarian means, political representation will follow […]

NAACP Registers Inmates to Vote
ACORN isn’t the only militant moonbat outfit that uses felons to advance Democrat chances at the polls. The NAACP is registering voters at prisons in Maine, one of just two states that allow all inmates to vote while behind bars, in what is apparently the nation’s first such statewide drive. … Though prison inmates tend […]

Chaos At The Daily Kos Over Afghanistan
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous tipped me off to a fascinating thread over at the Daily Kos that echoes the utter confusion of the Left on Afghanistan. You see, despite all the caterwauling about foreign policy that we heard from the Left during the Bush years, it’s still ultimately little more than a […]

I Detest These Republican Mailers
One of my pet peeves during the 2008 campaign season was the deceptive mailers I received from Republican politicians. That’s not because I received a lot of them. That just goes with the territory if you give even small amounts of money to pols. After all, the more times they ask for money, as a […]

The CIA Should Be Combating Terrorists, Not Spying On Sea Lions
I’ve mentioned before that the CIA has opened a Center On Climate Change and National Security. Surprisingly, some people have a problem with this There’s been a lot said lately about the national-security implications of climate change, in the form of water shortages, mass migration, and unstable governments. But in the view of at least […]

The Obama Justice Department’s Secret Blogging Team… Is it Illegal?
Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, has apparently hired a cadre of left-wing, Democrat campaign bloggers to troll through the Internet looking for news stories and blog posts that denigrate the Obama agenda. After such websites are found it is the job of these secret lefty bloggers to leave comments that come to the support of […]

Obama Decides That He Cannot Decide When It Comes To Deciding What To Decide About Afghanistan
Somebody cue up one of those Brett Favre Sears commercials. But, he did rule out cutting and running from Afghanistan. Which wasn’t actually the current topic of discussion President Obama told Congressional leaders on Tuesday that he would not substantially reduce American forces in Afghanistan or shift the mission to just hunting terrorists there, but […]

The New Right Wing News RSS Feed
I’m not going to bore you with all the technical details, but long story short, RWN’s old RSS feed stopped working when the back end was switched from Movable Type to Word Press. Now theoretically, I should have been able to fix the RSS feed without any of the subscribers having to do anything. However, […]

Senator Jim DeMint Says Again: Health Care Is President Obama’s Waterloo
Well, Senator DeMint’s interview was interesting. But I also had the opportunity to talk to Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal about the U.S. unemployment numbers and the debt-ceiling. It was scintillating, I promise. Also, Hugh Hewitt and I had a quick chat about the state of the conservative movement. I hope you’ll listen. […]

Phantom Jobs Support Fake Recovery?
John Crudele alerts us to a GIGO (garbage-in-garbage-out) statistic the Labor Department uses and has used for a long time that provides erroneous data. Bad as it is in normal times, it is even worse in bad economic times: In 11 of the 12 months, the government adds massive numbers of jobs — sometimes more […]

In Defense Of David Letterman — Sort Of
I’m not a fan of David Letterman, don’t like his politics, and haven’t watched his show in years. Moreover, after his rape joke at the expense of Sarah Palin’s daughter, I can’t say that I was displeased to hear that he was involved in an intern sex and adultery scandal. There seems to be one […]

What Is Being Disrespected by Holocaust Denial
When people deny that there was a Holocaust, it is extraordinarily disrespectful. That’s because the evidence is absolutely irrefutable and when people say it didn’t happen, they are cruelly denying those that were murdered the simple dignity of having their true story told. What you are about to read is from the sworn affidavit of […]

CA Elections: Whitman’s Spotty Voting Record: Not Exactly as it Seemed?
Much has been made about Meg Whitman’s spotty voting record by many, including me. When the Sacramento Bee’s Andrew McIntosh first reported that records for Whitman’s voter registration going back a decade or so were nearly non-existent it seemed that the anti-Whitman camp(s) out there had quite an issue to hang their hats upon. It […]

Obama’s Socialist Doctors Photo Op: Fail
The teleprompter presidency again degenerated into farce yesterday when it staged a spectacle intended to create the impression that doctors welcome absorption into Comrade Obama’s socialist blob: In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama. A […]

Moonbat Vocabulary Term: Eco-Xenophobia
Since it wouldn’t be fair to the animals for only humans to enjoy the many privileges that come with being oppressed by racism, ecoweenies in formerly Great Britain have extended the coveted status to parakeets. This week Natural England officially deemed the ring-necked parakeet as a pest, making it possible to shoot the birds without […]

5 Things That Republicans In D.C. Need To Understand
Last weekend at the Defending the American Dream Summit, I had the opportunity to talk behind-the-scenes with some Republican staffers. During our back-and-forth exchanges, here are some of the things I told them that I thought their bosses should understand: 1) It’s going to take time to re-establish trust: During the Bush years a lot […]

Two Years in Prison for Importing Orchids, Paperwork Errors
The Washington Times has a troubling article on the over criminalization of America. For example, they tell the story of a couple of retirees who had their house torn apart by gun wielding members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The agents who spent half a day ransacking Mrs. Norris’ longtime home in Spring, […]

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Demonizing Private Insurance Companies
Over the past few months, we have heard and read about Democrat leaders doing their typical “hey, let’s insult, demean, damage, and demonize yet another private entity” in regards to the health insurance industry. They tell us that the private health insurance companies should be more like the selfless government run Medicare. Yeah, about that […]

And Now Senator Schumer is Lying about Job Loss
You know, our job loses are bad enough without President Obama and now Senator Chuck Schumer lying about it all and making it sound even worse than it is. But this particular lie is a very particular lie, one that is aimed to make the presidency of George W. Bush the bad guy. Job loses […]

Rove Backs Rubio In Florida
Well, there’s an interesting development. Former Bush political adviser Karl Rove “has signaled his preference” in Florida’s U.S. Senate race “with his wallet.” Rove confirmed to NBC News “that he has contributed a $1000 to Rubio’s campaign, the donation will be made public when Rubio files his next FEC report (due Oct. 15).” “This comes […]

The Defending The American Dream Summit Picture Drop (17 pics)
Last week-end, I was at the Defending The American Dream Summit in DC. That little shindig was thrown by the folks at Americans for Prosperity and it was heavily attended — around 2000 people were at the event, which isn’t too shabby for a political hootenanny. I drove to the conference, which turned out to […]

Obama’s Insufferable Arrogance Caused Olympic Fail
The Chicago Sun Times has gathered more unhinged voices of the left claiming that W can be blamed even for Chairman Zero not bringing home the Olympic bacon on behalf of his slumlord cronies in the Windy City. Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago’s Olympic bid dying in the […]
