It did not do Kay Bailey Hutchison any good in Texas, but she made the most of Dick Cheney endorsing her. In Utah, Bob Bennett has lined up Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Dick Cheney — calling in every imaginable favor to show he is the preferred candidate of the Republican Party. In other years that might help Bob Bennett, but as Utah Republicans go | Read More »
In a perfect axis of all powerful conservatism, John Bolton writes the profile of Human Events’ Conservative of the Year. The winner is Vice President Cheney. In Washingtonian “inside the Beltway” terms, the most amazing aspect of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s new clout is that he is achieving it the old-fashioned way: talking about public policy. He is not running for President or any | Read More »
Rowan Scarborough has the top story at Human Events today. The CIA’s harsh interrogation techniques saved countless American lives by forcing al Qaeda chieftains to disclose a string of sophisticated terror plots to infiltrate the United States with cold-blooded killers. That fact is established in two documents released Monday by the Justice Department, hours after they released the CIA Inspector General report which Attorney General | Read More »
I’m on record that this story is a distraction designed to take the heat off Nancy Pelosi lying about and smearing the CIA. It is also a distraction for conservatives who tend to focus on national security issues instead of things like socialized healthcare. Nonetheless, while Democrats are screaming that evil Dick Cheney did not tell them about a CIA program, the former Director of | Read More »
There is a game of distractions being played in Washington, D.C. right now. It is both intentional and designed to minimize conservative strengths. We must not play the game as the left would have us play it. Here is how the game is played. The President pushes cap and trade to the Senate while also advancing socialized healthcare. As those balls advance, the Attorney General | Read More »
The year is 2003. Tom Ridge is chatting, explaining what’s going on with Homeland Security, having a seemingly good time. His good natured counterpart in the conversation lets Ridge run with the conversation. The other party in the conversation is Rush Limbaugh. Ridge had called into Rush’s show. Over the past twenty years Rush has been on the air, people like Powell, Ridge, and others | Read More »
Dick Cheney has given a lashing to both Colin Powell and Barack Obama. Put me in the Cheney-Limbaugh camp. Heck, put me in the Cheney-Limbaugh 2012 camp. If not a Presidential ticket, at least they should be the listened voices on the right — the ones whose advice guides the direction our candidates go. Yes, the left may laugh at that and encourage it, but | Read More »
Let me say this without reservation, despite the left-wing assault when I twittered it: I do not doubt that more Americans will die at the hands of terrorists under the watch of Barack Obama than under the watch of George W. Bush. Back on January 8th, I wrote General Michael Hayden and John O. Brennan are career guys. They are not partisans. I could not | Read More »
In the living room (that’s me to the right of Charles Krauthammer):
Editor’s Note: You can find this in its original form at Human Events. Since Eisenhower there have been five Republican administrations. Dick Cheney has been inside four of the five. In the fifth, he has played a profound, globe changing role. At lunch yesterday, Cheney had been asked early on about his image, a topic impacted by the war. He joked that it would be | Read More »
During lunch I was a bit surprised that the subject of the bailouts had not come up. As lunch was winding down, I asked the Vice President his thoughts. He’d been quoted in the past, whether accurately or not, that deficits do not matter. I wanted to know if he thought they did. I never got a direct answer on that, but what he said | Read More »
So they hadn’t made a mistake. They intended me to be there. Wow. Now I have to be honest with you guys. I’m just me. I don’t view myself as anything special. I’m just a guy with a laptop who has strong opinions on various subjects. And they wanted me there surrounded by the Vice President, his chief of staff, Liz Cheney, Paul Gigot, Kate | Read More »
