Jason Mattera is the guy you better get familiar with quickly if you haven’t already. Famous for ambushing Democratic congressmen and asking them straight forward questions that still make their heads explode, Jason has advanced conservative online guerilla journalism ably. And now he’s my counter-part at our sister publication, Human Events. Jason is going to be helping Tom Winter over at Human Events and largely | Read More »
Pat Sajak — yes that Pat Sajak — has a great response to Frank Rich posted over at Human Events. Welcome to post-racial America, where those who oppose a piece of legislation must defend themselves against the scurrilous charges of a man who seems much better suited to reviewing “Cats”. (He liked it, by the way.) This was a particularly shameful column, and the millions | Read More »
Our own Mark Impomeni has today’s top story at Human Events. Perhaps taking a cue from the hardball Chicago political tactics of President Obama and his cadre of Windy City advisers, state Senate Democrats in New York sent a fundraising letter to local union bosses last week that even Democratic activists described as, “pay-to-play run-amok.” The chairman of the New York Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, | Read More »
Donald Lambro has the top story at Human Events. Anyone who thinks the battle against Obamacare is over does not understand the depth of the opposition to this massive government expansion and the forces of freedom that will be challenging its despotic provisions. President Obama and the Democrats narrowly won a majority for a bill that will explode federal spending and debt, drive consumer medical | Read More »
Our own Brian Darling has the top spot at Human Events today. Conservatives are demanding the repeal of Obamacare. Simply, it’s an intolerable act by government that’s inconsistent with freedom and liberty. Sen. Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) has pledged to work for repeal of ObamaCare and even put out a news release after House passage of the Senate bill demanding immediate repeal. “This bill is unconstitutional | Read More »
Phillip Jennings has the top story at Human Events today. As you prepare for your imminent deployment to Afghanistan, I guess it’s inevitable that I’m thinking of that time forty five years ago that I prepared for my deployment to Vietnam as a young lieutenant of Marines. We’ve talked about the similarities in our respective wars, but there’s a lot more I could say. The | Read More »
Gary Bauer has the top story at Human Events. I’ve spent the last week traveling across Israel as part of a delegation from Christians United for Israel (CUFI). I’ve had individual meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Ehud Barak, President Shimon Peres, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and others. As always, it has been an eye opening experience. Vice President Joe Biden also | Read More »
Our own Brian Darling has the top story at Human Events this morning. President Obama and Democrats in Congress are readying a procedure known as reconciliation to railroad Obamacare through Congress. This abuse of process has been called the Healthcare Nuclear Option, because it’s a way to avoid a filibuster in the Senate. Reconciliation was created in the early ’70s to allow Congress to balance | Read More »
Jed Babbin has today’s top story at Human Events. It seems the Emanuel Death Watch is continuing. White House chiefs of staff come and go, arriving with fanfare and departing — usually — in celebration or silence. Only one exception comes to mind. When Don Regan swapped jobs with Ronald Reagan chief of staff James Baker there began an epic battle with the president’s wife | Read More »
Run Larry Run. Larry Kudlow, Wall Street’s Palladin of American capitalism and free market economics, says he is moved by the public support he’s getting to run for the U.S. Senate aganst New York Democrat Charles Schumer. “I’m very flattered by all the attention and quite frankly surprised at the size of the draft movement which has developed. So it has my attention,” the CNBC | Read More »
Michelle Oddis has the top story at Human Events today. House and Senate Democrats are moving full speed ahead with their healthcare overhaul after last week’s lengthy summit. Yesterday, President Obama said “no matter which approach you favor, I believe the United States Congress owes the American people a final vote on health-care reform,” abstaining from using the word reconciliation but calling for an “up | Read More »
Jed Babbin has the top story today at Human Events. When Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind) announced his retirement, the media revived their drumbeat that our government is broken. As the indispensable Brent Bozell pointed out last week, Democrats and the media only complain of broken government when the liberals can’t get their agenda enacted. The problem isn’t that our government isn’t working: it’s that President | Read More »
Jed Babbin has the top story at Human Events today. Senate Democrat “moderates” probably slept well last night, but no House Blue Dog should have. In the marathon Blair House healthcare “summit,” the Chicago Obama family made it perfectly clear that the Senate Dems are protected “made men” but the House members are expendable in Obama’s pursuit of nationalizing healthcare. The summit convened after a | Read More »
Congressman Ted Poe has today’s top story at Human Events. Today, the administration will put on another show for the American people. The nationalized healthcare naysayers have been summoned to the White House to give their ideas on healthcare reform. Yet, the President announced his newly packaged plan days ago. So what’s the point? Is this a meeting to exchange ideas and move forward in | Read More »
Rowan Scarborough has the top story at Human Events today. The CIA has established a well-functioning spy network in Pakistan, providing tips that have lead to stepped-up drone attacks on suspected militants. Sources tell HUMAN EVENTS that the cadre of Pakistani informants was years in the making. The U.S. had to convince them to trust Americans on one key issue: protecting their identity. There is | Read More »
Jed Babbin has the top story at Human Events today and previews a number of races around the country. I’ve got to take issue with one though. Jed writes: “Retired Navy pilot Mike Lee is challenging Sen. Bob Bennett for the Republican nomination this year. Lee seems like a great guy and some day may be a great candidate. But Bennett’s conservative credentials — though | Read More »
Jed has the top story today at Human Events. As they ponder President Obama’s invitation to the February 25 Blair House “summit” on health care, the GOP leadership can save themselves a lot of time and money. Instead of commissioning expensive polls or seeking advice from their Gucci-shod consultants, they can get all the advice they need in an M&Ms commercial that ran during the | Read More »
Here’s today’s top story at Human Events. The best thing about my job is attending Senate and House Armed Services hearings. The worst thing about my job is attending Senate and House hearings. On the one hand, the rights we have as Americans to freely observe our government in action should be reason enough for us to daily fall prostrate and thank God above we | Read More »
Amen to this. Even before he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama proclaimed he wanted to appoint a Lincolnesque cabinet, a “team of rivals.” Lincoln, as ABC’s Jake Tapper reminded us way back in May 2008, appointed three of his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination to his cabinet, people who disagreed with him and at least one — Edward Stanton, who became Secretary | Read More »
Great post by Donald Lambro today at Human Events. Well worth reading. Consider this an open thread.
