I suspect these numbers […]

How’s this for fair and balanced: “There is really only one de facto president, and we finally have accepted that — that it’s Obama,” said FOX News contributor Fred Barnes, executive editor of […]

With resignation I watch Barack Obama assemble his leadership team. He won. He gets to do the fun stuff. What is more irksome this time around is that Republicans passed on a winner to pick a guy who had so many clear deficits. I wanted Fred Thompson. This is why: H/T Erick Erickson of Redstate […]

“This domestic troop deployment looks at best to be part of the Bush Administration’s last-minute plans to leave its fascist mark on this country in perpetuity before leaving.
