Was it going to take years to climb out of the wealth-destruction hole wrought by the bursting of the housing bubble coupled with decades of accumulating national and personal debt? Yes, but after President Barack | Read More »
Beltway conservative elite’s focus on President Barack Obama’s fortunes are misplaced Does Charles Krauthammer think tea partiers would rather wait another two years before taking actions to turn the economy around? Apparently, as he characterizes the deal struck with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) over extension of the Bush tax cuts and unemployment benefits as a “swindle”: Barack Obama won the great tax-cut showdown of | Read More »
Deaf elephants refused to lock the grid If the din of acts of civil American Drive In obedience in January doesn’t penetrate the big ears of Congressional elephants, we will have no choice but to finally resort to conservative MLK-like civil disobedience against the Dumbo in the White House, aka President Barack Hussein Obama, and those Republicans and dog-eared Dems on Capitol Hill that are | Read More »
The 9.8% of Americans that are unemployed and the 90.2% that are either employed or have given up looking, are told that the Great Recession is over. Don’t believe a word of it or find a new word to describe the trouble we are in as a nation. I wrote last year that no matter who was elected President that we, as a people, would | Read More »

Elected Republicans need to recognize this fact; quit repeating MSM beltway-speak mantras that every damning revelation merely “raises more questions”; stop fearing the PC police and declare the obvious import of the facts about ObamaDemLibs. Despite a press dominated by liberals, I never remember President Bush retracting any public statements; accepting | Read More »
Yesterday in Denver, President Barack Obama signed the much ballyhooed 1079-page government-growth-ulus bill that neither he nor Congress had time to read before enacting it into law. As one of their We the People bosses, Gamecock suggests a group reading on the order of the “reading the Bible through in a year” programs or public library book clubs. For instance, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library is | Read More »

Originally published by Mike DeVine, Legal Editor for The Minority Report and inspired by Redstate’s Moe Lane. In his Washington Post column today, President Barack Obama throws down the gauntlet of a major change in strategy to pass the non-Stimulus bill now being debated in the U.S. Senate. The change: He is abandoning the 80-vote consensus strategy for a 60-vote strategy. The key line that | Read More »
Originally published by Mike DeVine, Legal Editor for The Minority Report Even if Congress strips out all the “porkulus” from the non-stimulus bill, remaining provisions would require the hiring of 600,000 new, permanent government employees over the next four years. That would represent a 25-30% increase in the size of the federal civilian workforce that would probably never be reduced. Maybe we need a new | Read More »
