I just got off of a teleconference with Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference and Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN), Chairman of the House Republican Conference. The teleconference was about Obama’s budget and what follows are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. Opening statement Mike Pence: We’re working with […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

The bad guys taking total control of the federal government is not good news for local officials who do their jobs with integrity. An example is legendary Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has repeatedly stood up to moonbat slugs like Phoenix Mayor Filmstrip Phil Gordon and former Arizona Governor Janet “Crappy Nappy” Napolitano, enforcing […]

People profoundly hostile to America have taken control of the American government, producing a bizarre foreign policy situation in which friends are treated as enemies and enemies as friends. Obama’s eagerness to shower our money upon Palestinians and appalling rudeness toward Britain are hardly the only examples. Take Cuba and Colombia: The $410 billion Omnibus […]

Forget taking away worker rights, forget silencing opposition, forget all the money that will pour into Democratic coffers, ….yes, for all those reasons the legislation that Democrats are trying to pass are wrong. Card check is dangerous because it’s a way to remove economic competition. If every big company, in every state can be coerced […]

I watched this video yesterday and got sick to my stomach. You can watch the whole thing, too, to get an idea of what is being taught at say, Harvard University. Professor Lani Guinier, at the State of the Black Union jams so many false premises and wrong-headed thinking in 10 minutes that it’s impressive. […]

Between Obama’s “enemies list” and the David Frum’s of the world, who are trying to fill the “I’m a Republican who hates Republicans, please promote me, liberal media” niche, Rush Limbaugh has been under regular attack for the last few weeks. But, let me be clear: the problem with the Republican Party is most certainly […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 1st quarter of 2009. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

If you love quirky Obama kitsch — and I know you do, then today is your lucky day! That’s because the kitschiest Obama kitsch that has ever been kitsched is now available! Introducing, the “Milfs For Barack Obama button Octomom pin Nadya Suleman.” That’s right, folks, it’s three annoying things that are even more annoying […]

They yelled, they screamed, they hopped up and down on one leg and told us how bad this 410 billion dollar spending bill was and how it was “business as usual’ (something they should certainly know about) that increased the spending level 8% and was full of 9,000 earmarks. And they condemned the Democrats and […]

What is going on with the Charles Freeman nomination, and is it an indicator of a overwhelmed administration losing control? Who, exactly, is in charge there? Frankly, approaching 45 days into this administration, the transition process, at least as it pertains to critical nominations, has been an unmitigated disaster. But it is the Freeman nomination […]

Here‘s something we can expect to see a lot of from our Community Organizer in Chief: Obama is attempting to overcome resistance to his Cloward-Piven spending spree by deploying armies of glassy-eyed ACORN types to bang on doors and persuade us peasants that our greedy rulers know best. First Obamunists must pledge support for the […]

Maybe it’s just as well Ronaldus Maximus didn’t live to see what the world is rotting into. Remember how he stood up to the moonbats in Congress to defend El Salvador from communism? The Marxist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) is now poised to take over the country democratically, just as its ideological brethren […]

Here’s an excerpt of my latest Pajamas column titled “Much Ado About Obama and Embryonic Stem Cells”: In a move that shocked no one, President Barack Obama reversed President George W. Bush’s executive order to ban government-funded human embryonic stem cell [ESC] research on new embryonic stem cell strains. This decision has caused many to […]

It seems fairly obvious to me that one of President Barack Obama’s strategies for getting elected and now, presiding, is to overwhelm people with the sheer volume and scope of policy “change.” With huge, monumental pieces of legislation passing at a steady clip, people have little time to understand and digest the content, and to […]

These wacky paintings almost make naked Obama on a unicorn art look dignified (Acquired from here and here.) How do they come up with this stuff?

Although it’s understandable that Obama would be primarily focused on domestic issues, his inattention to foreign affairs is creating an increasingly perilous situation for the US around the world. Just to give you a quick, non-comprehensive rundown… * Kyrgyzstan has sided with Russia over us and is closing a key base we’re using to supply […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 265 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer several questions. 55 bloggers responded. The bloggers were asked to select answers to the following questions (because some bloggers skipped particular questions, gave answers that weren’t listed, or gave answers that were difficult to categorize, there are not 55 responses to […]

During the 2008 presidential campaign, people speculated whether someone like Barack Obama, who has never really run anything or had any major achievements other than winning political office, could handle a three AM crisis call. Well, as it turns out, Obama has been such a bumbling incompetent that he probably couldn’t handle a trip through […]

Patterico does it by producing a 2006 poll: The difference, of course, is instead of 51% of Democrats telling a polling company they wanted Bush to fail, an influential conservative came right out and said it about Obama. The point for the left? You can quite pretending you’re witnessing something never seen before and climb […]

The Obamination Administration has finally figured out what’s wrong with our collapsing economy: energy costs are too low. From the Washington Times: Mr. Emanuel said energy costs are too low anyway. U.S. car companies have relied too long on gas-guzzling autos and failed to invest in alternative energy vehicles, he said, and contended that the […]

In Britainistan, Muslim police officer Javid Iqbal is suing because people laughed at his beard. Have a look: Not laughing at this guy’s beard would be like not sneezing after you snorted a shaker-full of pepper up your nose. The put-upon Religion-of-Peacenik also claims that other officers “pulled faces at each other if told they […]

Here’s how you pull a Three-Brigade Monte: President Obama promised to drawdown Iraqi troops. He was going to pull out a brigade from Iraq. So, he does–he withdraws the troops from Iraq and puts them in Afghanistan. That means there are less troops in Iraq and more in Afghanistan, right? Well, not exactly. Then, the […]

So, last week Drudge puts up a link to a story about two different women teachers having sex with a 13 year old boy student unbeknown to one another. Nice. Why can’t crazy women just be strippers and prostitutes? Now, they’re foisting their antisocial behavior on children. A couple thoughts: 1. Yes, society is degrading. […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… The mortgage “crisis”. The housing “crisis”. First of all, it’s NOT a crisis. it’s a scam! By the liberal mainstream media and the government in order to try and get responsible people, to pay, for irresponsible peoples mistakes. I’m going to solve the problem for you right now. […]

One of the false premises that undergirds much of the Democratic Party’s behavior since Obama got into office is that through brilliant, decisive action, the geniuses up on Capitol Hill can blunt the impact of a recession. Hence, we have crooks like Chris Dodd — the man on Capitol Hill who’s most personally responsible for […]

I was pleased to once again (Previous interviews here and here) talk with Thomas Sowell about his new book, Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One, which I have read twice and would highly recommend. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my conversation with Thomas Sowell. Enjoy! Barack Obama has publicly said that he […]

On Thursday of last week, I wrote a post complaining that The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s 19th Annual Legislative Conference was scheduled to begin today and there were exactly 2 Republican Congressmen and no senators scheduled to attend. Now, how much sense does this make, folks? Everybody knows the GOP is losing Hispanics […]
