I hadn’t heard about this: The campaign finance reform case being argued Wednesday at the Supreme Court is about the tension in federal elections between free speech and government regulation. Another campaign finance reform vs. free speech case. Last time, the Court ruled in favor of free speech. Five to four. This time…well, I don’t […]

President Obama is looking at retirement plan reforms: President Barack Obama announced a series of policy changes Saturday aimed at making it easier for Americans to save money for retirement. Among the changes are expanded access to 401k plans, small tax policy changes and a pledge to let workers convert vacation days into retirement savings. […]

So there’s an avowed Communist; a 9/11 Truther; an “activist” whose worldview is almost entirely instructed by race in the White House. And we’re surprised? Van Jones – the “Green Czar,” President Obama’s “Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.” is – we know, because he told us – a Communist and a 9/11 […]

Patrick Ruffini is a youngish up & coming conservative who longs for the return of "William F. Buckley conservatism" and regrets what he calls the "Joe Plumberization of the GOP." Well, first off, class warfare within the Republican Party dates back to at least the 1950s. Read the instant classic Phyllis Schlafly and Grassroots Conservatism: […]

Despite being called “brownshirts”, “un-American” and a “mob” of “astroturfers”, a Rasmussen poll indicates the public believes the townhall protesters to be a genuine reflection of the concerns of their neighbors: Forty-nine percent (49%) have a favorable opinion of those opposing the health care reforms at town hall meetings. That’s up eight points from 41% […]

Earlier this week, David Hogberg filed an important story at Investors Business Daily: FHA-insured loans have more than tripled from 530,000 in fiscal year 2007 to 1.7 million thus far in 2009. The Government National Mortgage Association, which securitizes FHA loans, has boosted its mortgage-related issuance to $287 billion from $85 billion. Yet during that […]

As mentioned in the earlier post, I was invited to cover the Illinois Conservative Summit sponsored by the United Republican Fund of Illinois. The URF is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and is Illinois’ oldest, independent, conservative GOP organization. The URF’s charge is to advance conservative policies and principles by supporting candidates that will […]

Things just keep getting worse and worse for Twoofer Van Jones U.S. Senator Kit Bond, ranking member of the Green Jobs and the New Economy Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today called for a Congressional oversight hearing probing the fitness of a senior White House official. In a letter to […]

I guess I’m getting noticed by the big Leftists on YouTube again.

If New Jersey politics isn’t bad enough, try getting a feel for one of the most liberal Congressional Disctricts in the state. I was quite surprised when I learned that Rep. Bill Pascrell, Congressman of my very blue hometown, would be holding a town hall meeting on the Democrats’ contentious health care bill, as if […]

An Anti-AIDS Ad Or A Pro-Nazi Ad? This is one of the most unintentionally funny advertisements that I’ve ever seen. It’s supposed to be some sort of anti-Aids “You’re worse than Hitler if you don’t use a condom” thing, but that’s not the message I get out of it: There are HIV/Aids charities protesting this […]

As noted yesterday, top Obama advisor Van Jones — the foul-mouthed, self-avowed communist who has apparently absconded with $60 billion of our money meant to create mythical “green jobs” — is a 9/11 Truther. The Obamination Administration has reacted to this revelation by lying: In a statement issued Thursday evening Jones said of “the petition […]

The moonbats at Roto-Reuters are aghast: Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen has said that the Chevy Volt will fail and that anybody who buys the car is an idiot. Not only that, de Nysschen has lumped proponents of any type of electric car into a category of “intellectual elite who want to show […]

The United Farm Workers union wants to enshrine in law a new way for potential members to vote in representation. For years now, the UFW has tried to push Sacramento to OK a plan to allow potential union members to cast their vote away from their workplace. The union claims that if union representatives can […]

Our president seems to believe himself more King than elected representative. Barack Obama has shown himself to be as despotic as George III through overly harsh taxation and forcing his will on the people. Like George used the Parliament, Obama is using Congress to assert his supremacy in a socialist empire. Now, Obama is inciting […]

This is some pretty good news Osiris Therapeutics Inc, which is developing a drug to treat a rare condition that affects bone marrow transplant patients, is poised to unveil results from a late-stage trial that could pave the way for the first approved drug in that indication and instill investor confidence in the company. GvHD […]

Is there any limit to the nutballs in the Obama administration? We have many tax cheats. We have a Truther. We have race baiters and people who push euthenasia. Plain racists. Climahysterics. Militant envirowackos. And all sorts of other wackos. Now we get Cass Sunstein, President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Office of Information […]
