Re-posted from PJ Media When I first moved to Old Town Alexandria, Virginia in 1980 there was a sign on a small office building that said National Headquarters for Veterans of World War I. Driving by that building always left me wondering when this distinguished organization would cease to exist. Sure enough one day the sign was gone, replaced by a shiny new plaque for a law firm. After | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media Today’s news, that according to e-mails, U.S. officials knew the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 killing four Americans, including our Ambassador, was a terrorist attack within two hours. Obviously, this means CIA Director General David Petraeus immediately knew most, if not all of the details. So why did General Petraeus stay quiet when the president | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media Last week a Washington D.C. Republican consultant happily told my husband that Romney yard signs had overtaken Obama signs in what is usually his very Democrat leaning, upscale neighborhood in Fairfax County, Virginia. Situated close to our nation’s capitol, Fairfax County is a fierce battleground within a must-win battleground state for both Obama and Romney. After the consultant reported this positive | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media Our nation has always prided itself on an orderly transition of presidential power. Nothing showcases that orderly transition more than the president and the president-elect together riding in a limo up to Capitol Hill for the inauguration ceremony. This limo ride is especially noteworthy if the president-elect has just defeated the president. You have to go all the way back to | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media Yesterday, while at my mother’s nursing home in Florida, one of the managers called me into her office. She told me she did not have my mother’s absentee ballot, but the Board of Elections was sending the ballot, and it would arrive in time for voting next week. While telling me this, the manager is holding a stack of absentee ballots | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media Remember all those exaggerated Soviet Union grain harvest forecasts that were supposed to prove how well the Russian communist system of collective farming worked for the people? Well today in the USA after the news that the unemployment rate dropped in September to 7.8% down from 8.1% in August, our new national motto should be, “We are all communists now.” Jack Welsh, the | Read More »
A friend who is a long time Republican activist, just told me how watching the presidential election play out on the cable networks is making her so anxious that she is now only watching The Food Network. Has my friend discovered the “secret sauce” that will keep Republicans from going insane in the waning days of the 2012 election? Possibly, because I know my anxiety | Read More »
This fact may come as a shock to those who still have tingles up and down their legs from Bill Clinton’s DNC speech last evening, but someone has to show some bravery by breaking this news to Democrats and mainstream media pundits. In fact, facts themselves are inconvenient and rare at the DNC this week. Facts like the 8.3% unemployment rate, or the $16 trillion | Read More »
My ultra-liberal sister lives in Paul Ryan’s Congressional district in Wisconsin, so naturally I was curious to hear her take on the newly minted Romney-Ryan team. As expected, I got an earful of Democratic talking points. However, what she said should not be downplayed because you will hear these anti-Ryan arguments ad nauseum from now until November. Here are her direct quotes and Romney supporters | Read More »
Recently I had a discussion with an old friend who is an ardent George W. Bush hater and, as a result, will be voting for President Obama again, no matter what. We were discussing the economy and I happened to mention that the average unemployment rate was much lower during Bush’s two terms despite the September 11, 2001 attacks. However, at that moment, I was not | Read More »
