Today in Washington – August 3, 2004
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | August 3rd at 10:40 AM |
Anti gun activist Elena Kagan’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court hits the Senate floor today. Ironically, this is the same day that the Washington Post reports that a federal judge in Virginia refused to dismiss a challenge to ObamaCare’s mandates. This case is going to the U.S. Supreme Court, yet many Senators are not willing to put up a real fight before this left wing extremist is | Read More »
Today in Washington – July 27, 2010
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | July 27th at 11:30 AM |
President Obama wants to reduce criticism of his unpopular government. It is to be expected, because the American people have little confidence in the Obama Administration and the federal government. Even left wing Think Tank, the Center for American Progress (CAP), has released data that “more than a quarter of the public says they have little or no confidence in government.” This report is evidence that, even the left | Read More »
Fact: Kagan is Anti-Second Amendment
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | July 1st at 02:00 AM |
President Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court is hostile to the 2nd Amendment. That is a fact. Clear and convincing evidence in the public domain proves that fact. If you hear the left argue that Elena Kagan is not hostile to the 2nd Amendment, know that those claims are proven incorrect by Kagan’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee and her lifetime of anti-gun activism.

Today in Washington – June 30, 2010
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | June 30th at 11:00 AM |
Clearly, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court Elena Kagan does not believe in a limited federal government. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) asked her whether the federal government has the power to tell Americans that they have to eat “three vegetables and three fruits every day.” Kagan declined to use that question as an opportunity to state that the federal government has limited powers and used the question as | Read More »
Today in Washington – June 18, 2010

Not much going on today in Washington after a big day of grilling for the low key CEO of BP Tony Hayward yesterday in the House. Just like the Celtics defense melted down in the 4th quarter collapse last night against the LA Lakers in game 7 of the NBA finals, final passage of the Tax Extenders bill melted down in the Senate and consideration of | Read More »
This Week in Washington – May 24, 2010
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | May 24th at 11:00 AM |
This week is the last week of work for the House and Senate before the Memorial Day recess and these are the times when taxpayers should keep a close eye on elites on Capitol Hill. Keep an eye on all of the expensive ideas up for a vote, because this week could prove very expensive for the American people if Congress passes every “must pass” | Read More »
Guns and The Fairness Doctrine
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | February 26th at 06:09 PM |
Kudos to Senators John Ensign (R-NV), John Thune (R-SD), Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) for using the bill to provide a vote in the House of Representatives to the District of Columbia to force votes today on expanding gun rights and trashing the idea of the federal government regulating the radio airwaves. These senators used an unconstitutional bill to essentially treat the District of | Read More »
Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Holder – Only Two Conservatives Said No
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | January 28th at 12:48 PM |
The Senate Judiciary Committee hours ago voted 17-2 to approve the nomination of Eric Holder to be the next Attorney General. A floor vote on his nomination is expected for next week. The only two Conservative stalwarts voted no: John Cornyn (R-TX); and Tom Coburn (R-OK). Eric Holder, former Deputy Attorney General for President Bill Clinton, has taken actions that disqualify him from Senate consent to be the next Attorney General of | Read More »
Senate Republicans Throw Another Conservative Under the Bus – Jim DeMint
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | January 27th at 12:57 PM |
The Politico reported last week that “GOP Pressures Bunning to Quit” and named two “GOP sources” as authority for a story full of false accusations and rumors. These sources implied that Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) had not made clear his intentions to run for another term and had not raised enough money to win the 2010 Kentucky Senate race. In a story linked on Bluegrass | Read More »
