As a lawyer for ACORN, Obama exploited the Community Reinvestment Act to inflict race-based extortion on the mortgage industry, helping to bring about the collapse of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which led in turn to our current economic crisis. Now the same racket is setting it sights directly on Wall Street: In what is […]

Remember Samantha Power, the ultra-left screwball who publicly equated waterboarding guys like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed with genocide? She was considered a key Obama advisor, but got tossed off the campaign team for being conspicuously nuts. Now — with the election safely over — she’s back: Power is listed on Obama’s transition Web site […]

Tomorrow, Saxby Chambliss has his run-off election with Jim Martin and given that it’s a close race and holding on to his seat is incredibly important, he could have just about any Republican he wants on the campaign trail for him today. He could have John McCain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Bush, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, […]

“At least two senior Indian officials have now resigned over their failure to thwart the horrific attacks in Mumbai last week, as further evidence emerged Monday of the possible links to Pakistan of the gunmen who went on a 60-hour rampage in India’s financial capital. How many people resigned over 9/11? Over the immigration disaster? […]

Want to be unemployed? Join a union! Toyota, BMW, Kia and others now make 54% of the cars Americans buy. The internationals also employ some 113,000 Americans, compared with 239,000 at U.S.-owned carmakers . . . To put it concisely, the transplants operate under conditions imposed by the free market. Detroit lives on Fantasy Island. […]

There are a lot of valid complaints about conservative messaging on illegal immigration. Unfortunately, those of us who are in favor of securing the border and against amnesty can come across, falsely, as being hostile to Hispanic Americans. With that in mind, here are points that may deserve to get a little more attention when […]

Hey all, this isn’t a huge post. I’m just linking you through to Hugh Hewitt who has the whole thing, but I thought this was worthwhile enough to pass along. Having been through a couple Hurricanes, now, here is what I’ve discovered: The thing that is most needed is communication. The thing that goes out […]

Score 1 for the good guys, That is just the point. Fueled by technology and a powerful victims’ rights movement, “victim impact videos” are becoming staples in criminal trials nationwide. The increasingly sophisticated multimedia presentations depict victims from cradle to grave, often with soft music in the background, tugging on the heartstrings of jurors. Defense […]

This post could be obscenely long, there are so many potential problems in the health care field. I’m going to try to make this brief and concise. There are about to be many more old people than people to care for them. Gen X is about half the size of the Boomers. The Boomers are […]

As a student of human nature, I was absolutely FASCINATED by this story, Lois Feldman of Carroll, Iowa was enjoying a one sided college football game (55-0) between her beloved Iowa Hawkeyes and the Minnesota Gophers last weekend when she suddenly opted to engage in a quickie sex romp with a stranger in the Minneapolis […]

Via Dr. Helen comes the latest trend in feminizing men: Mantyhose — no, seriously! My first thought after looking at these guys was Silence of the Lambs. Ya know, Buffalo Bill: “It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again!” Dr. Helen had a different take on it, “Are they […]

Michael Eden: Do unto Obama as liberals did unto Bush Blackfive: One of the coolest signs you’ve ever seen and naturally, it was on the door of a wounded […]

That, of course, means some immediate propaganda work repackaging by the Obama team after all the shots they threw her way during the primaries: “What exactly is this foreign policy experience?” Obama said mockingly of the New York senator. “Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no.” No, she was dodging […]

Or, is that taking the Christ out of Christmas? Threat of ACLU lawsuit means no cross in Pontchatula The huge cross near Ponchatoula’s downtown locomotive won’t be covered with blazing white bulbs for this year’s Christmas Lights Festival. Instead, a second bar has been added to display banners advertising citywide events. The cross was highly […]

Some self-designated “doctor of journalism” decided to take on Mark Steyn, who opens up a can of forensic whupass on the aforesaid professor: Not for the first time you realise that, for the lazy white liberal, driving around with a “CELEBRATE DIVERSITY” sticker absolves one from having to take the slightest interest in other cultures. […]

One of the things I appreciate the most about Dennis Prager is his unofficial motto, “I prefer clarity over agreement.” To me, that says it all. All too often, we’re deluded into thinking whoever’s nearby and for some reason refuses to go-with-the-flow, that person must have fastened his identity to the role of loose-cannon. He […]

Apparently he wasn’t kidding when he said he thought it was his “job” to help the Obama adminstration succeed: HARRISBURG, Pa. – A Pennsylvania Democratic party leader says MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews may be considering a run for U.S. Senate in 2010. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports Matthews met with state party leaders this past […]

I hope they get some sort of cute uniform, too. Something low cut and sexy. For the women. Maybe they can all wear lettuce bikini’s, like the PETA wackos. But the real fear driving climate alarmists wild is that a more rational approach to the fundamentalist religion of global warming may be in the ascendancy […]

Instapundit links to John Thompson, who writes: The Mumbai attacks represent a scenario that few Western police and security forces have dared envision. Fewer still have prepared for it. The basic strategy: use a large number of attackers to overwhelm a target city’s ability to respond, and then suddenly switch focus to high value targets […]

It has to do with the need for

Today’s news brings a foolishly short-sighted question: Mumbai’s Trauma: How Quickly Will Recovery Come? How quickly? The blood of hundreds of dead and wounded hasn’t even been cleaned up yet! What kind of “recovery” can Mumbai possibly have while the butchers who planned this vile attack remain free to launch additional attacks on innocent civilians […]

The wayward son of an extended family, upon request, offers his post-Thanksgiving thoughts on what the 2008 elections mean within an increasingly polarized nation. My household is a dual-income one, now, which means two sets of job responsibilities. So the political loudmouth could not make the trek “home” for the festivities. It would appear, from […]

Rabbi Simcha Weinstein, one of my writing clients, is part of the same Chabad community in Brooklyn, where Gavriel Holtzberg grew up. He told me yesterday via email that they are “rocked” by the murder of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29 and his wife Rivkah, 28 in India. More here. They are asking for donations to […]

Oh, this sounds like a splendid idea: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed to help start a nuclear energy program in Venezuela and said Moscow is willing to participate in a socialist trade bloc in Latin America led by President Hugo Chavez. Medvedev used his visit to Venezuela–the first by a Russian president–to extend Moscow’s reach […]

You sometimes get the horn. Hint for the Taliban. If the ratio isn’t better than 8:1, you may want to consider retreat as first option: In the city of Shewan, approximately 250 insurgents ambushed 30 Marines and paid a heavy price for it. Shewan has historically been a safe haven for insurgents, who used to […]

Three bodies found on the 2nd floor of the Nariman House. The terrorists killed the hostages before moving on to the next floor. They killed two more hostages on the 4th floor. Third floor is the only floor remaining, commandos are there. It is just a matter of time.(hat tip Randall) Joshua wrote me, "how […]

Here’s the perfect gift for the moonbat on your list: an abortion. Planned Parenthood, which in past years has promoted a “Choice on Earth” abortion campaign during the Christmas season, has a new outreach, offering Christmas gift certificates to be used for abortions. Abortion gift cards are particularly appropriate during the Christmas season, in light […]

Despite its sneering contempt for those who respect the sanctity of human life, even Slate is a little concerned that Obama’s pro-abortion fanaticism could lead to the closure of one third of American hospitals: If the Freedom of Choice Act passes Congress … Obama has promised to sign it the second it hits his desk. […]

K. Ryan James (who is in fact a bit of a big deal): So for Barry, when did it all become about Barry? Now note that I somehow missed the moment when Barack became “Barry.” I picked this up on right wing blogs all too late to get in on the fun and, as regulars […]
