The Iranian people are still in the streets and there are some encouraging signs that the regime could be starting to crack. According to the Cyrus News Agency, Tuesday morning 16 senior members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were arrested. “These commanders have been in contact with members of the Iranian army to join the […]

Seldom do I get to say nice things about Barack Obama, so when he does something right, it’s fantastic to be able to give the man the credit he deserves. Yesterday, Barack Obama pulled off what is easily the greatest achievement of his presidency so far without spending a single taxpayer dollar. In a display […]

There has been a lot of talk in the news of late about white supremacists. Earlier this month, there were articles suggesting that Al-Qaeda wants to ally with white militia groups for attacks inside the United States. Some people might think that to be unlikely, but, for reasons you’ll soon see, I think it should […]

Now, Mousavi is not really for as much openness and reform as people may think, and certainly not on the international front, but, at this point, he may be opening a can of worms that could force major changes in Iran Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has called for a mass rally to protest […]

The Congressional Budget Office came out with their assessment of ObamaCare Tuesday, and, it is not pretty “How are we going to pay for that, Mr. President?” Sen. John McCain has asked. That one question – how the nation really pays for health reform – just got a shocking wake up call. The Congressional Budget […]

It’s not unusual for politicians to inspire strong emotions. After all, there is a reason why people suggest you avoid talking about race, religion, and politics if you want to have a nice dinner conversation. But, there is just something about Sarah Palin that arouses a particularly strong reaction. Liberals attack her children, say grotesquely […]

While I’ve been monitoring the upheaval in Iran, I’ve also been fascinated by the debate (and commentary) over what President Obama should or shouldn’t say about what is going on there. Politico makes the point that the administration doesn’t want to become is part of the story. Consequently the State Department has been studying the […]

Today, the leader of conservatives in the Senate, Jim DeMint, endorsed Marco Rubio over Charlie Crist in the Florida Primary. Crist, as many of you may be aware, is the middle-of-the-roader who has been endorsed by the NRSC, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain. On the other hand, Rubio is the young, charismatic, Hispanic, […]

Many of us have a romantic vision of journalists who dig up information on government corruption. Sadly, that perception has not been the reality over the last decade. Now, as many of you have already read from the Drudge Report, ABC will be giving the Obama administration proxy control over ABC broadcasting. I’m not sure […]

Well, ABC is one of the propaganda arms, anyway. When it comes to Health Care, ABC’s Charlie (look down-my-nose-at-Sarah-Palin) Gibbs and Diane Sawyer will be asking “tough questions” of President Obama, in the White House about the President’s health care plan. Every once in a while I pine for the Fairness Doctrine. Maybe then, the […]

America is up to its neck in debt to the communist Chinese. But apparently that’s no reason for the government not to give them our money for free in the name of the preposterous global warming hoax: U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern said that there was “no question” that China would receive […]

Liberal politics are so upside and backwards, they can make history run in reverse. Desperate to get away from the confiscatory taxes, stagnant economy, and social disintegration that are the unavoidable consequences of liberal rule, Californians are leaving in droves for the dustbowl. Fleeing the Great Depression and a drought unprecedented in American history, a […]

Are we in a new America where the state runs the show and the citizens are bit players or are we still a government of, by and for the people? Judging by economic policy, I’d say we’re all servants of the state now. Here’s a snippet from my latest American Issues Project column where I […]

Hi guys! If you haven’t already listened, the Podcast with Steve Schippert of National Review Online The Tank and Threatswatch.org and John Hawkins, my co-blogger at Right Wing News is now available. It was so good and spot on! We talked about the structure of Iranian government, Islam’s relationship to Democracy and more. Plus, how […]

Living, as a I do, in the Myrtle Beach area, I get to see a lot of dumb t-shirts that are apparently aimed at the crude, drunk, south of 80 IQ teenager demographic, but they don’t quite match up to this shirt on CafePress, Dude, what the hell? Same question, different t-shirt from the same […]

The latest polling from Gallup on the ideological make-up of the country and the Republican Party blows Titanic holes in so much of what passes for conventional wisdom inside the Beltway, Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% […]

Nothing like starting your Tuesday with some doom and gloom from Climahysterics, eh? The impact of a changing climate is already being felt across the United States, like shifting migration patterns of butterflies in the West and heavier downpours in the Midwest and East, according to a government study to be released on Tuesday. I […]

Yes, finally, President Obama commented on what is going on in Iran, but, lest you think this was scripted, some sort of announcement as so many Obama shills seeming to be saying, um, no. From the White House blog, we find that he commented on Iran because he was asked a question from someone in […]

Via Hollywood, the mainstream media, and the school systems, the Left has created a number of positive myths about their ideology, none of which stand up to the slightest amount of informed scrutiny. Liberals are pro-women: No, no: liberals are pro-liberal women — as long as they know their place. When Hillary Clinton did the […]

Seriously, if George Bush hadn’t existed, the left would have had to invent him in order to have someone to blame the world’s ills on. CBS has republished a piece by Laura Secor that ran in the New Republic and calls Ahmadenijhad Iran’s “George Bush”. (This on the heels of the Bonnie Erbe piece calling […]

Silvio Berlusconi is in town to meet with President Obama today and discuss the possibility of Italy taking a few Guantanamo detainees, as well as economic recovery, Afghanistan and Iran, according to the AP. What’s not on the agenda, so far as we know, is a discussion of health care. It should be. Berlusconi, whom […]

Despite 54% to 39% support for Mir Hussein Moussavi one week before the elections, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won 63% to 34%. The disparity between pre-election polling and the actual results is clear evidence of voter fraud. Here is more on how you can help.

Not long ago, the Moonbat Messiah was denouncing John McCain for wanting to finance a healthcare plan with cuts to Medicare and Medicaid: But now, everything has Changed. From Sunday’s Washington Compost: President Obama yesterday outlined measures to trim spending on federal health programs for the elderly and the poor by an additional $313 billion […]

The gargantuan mihrab the government has scene fit to construct as a memorial to Flight 93 for some reason requires 1,500 acres of highly valuable, resource-rich land. The people who own it may not want to sell, considering many regard the memorial as a tribute to the hijackers, not the heroes who prevented them from […]

Waiting for their dear leader to express his opinion, the “power to the people” crowd has kept silent. My take: the risk for making Obama look bad, or better yet being on the outs should an opinion differ from the Borg, has kept the Left mum about the Iranian uprising. [Or criticize anyone willing to […]

If you want to get an idea of why this country is dead broke and getting deeper into the hole each day, the mentality behind this program gives you a clue, John Cobb, 59, a former commercial fisherman who is disabled with cirrhosis of the liver and emphysema, lives in a studio apartment in Greensboro, […]

A man works from sun up to sun down. A mother’s work is never done. — Unknown A friend of mine likes to quote that saying when she wants to provoke her husband. Works every time. The saying came to mind again when I read an article about the necessity of smart phones–to stay connected […]

From Time’s “The Page.” Biden tells “Meet the Press” that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact of the stimulus, economy was worse off than anyone thought. Backs away from the estimate that the funds could create or save 3.5 million jobs, instead promises 600,000 by the end of the summer. First off, “everyone” didn’t guess […]

What does the long-ago death of a matinee idol tell us about the likely results of Obamanomics? Glad you asked! Actual science involves the ascertaining and application of facts, with the knowledge that there are more facts in the universe than any person can ever possibly know. The pseudo-religion of Science, by contrast, involves the […]

This is what happens when you take a political hack like Leon Panetta and put him in charge of the CIA, CIA director Leon Panetta says it’s almost as if former vice president Dick Cheney would like to see another attack on the United States to prove he is right in criticizing President Barack Obama […]
