Despite their statements to the press and on their website attempting to distance the group from the five suspected terrorists who were members of Occupy Cleveland, their presence in court on Monday sent a different message. Members of the Occupy Cleveland community showed up in force today to support the “Cleveland 5″ for their first day in court. According to Scene (a local hipster publication): “By | Read More »

Although Occupy Cleveland has a nice little statement on its website attempting to distance the group from the terror suspects who were active members of the group,  directly below the statement is a video hailing the actions of suspected would-be bomber and Cleveland Occupy leader Brandon Baxter for his March 5th arrest. From the Occupy Cleveland site: “On the morning of March 5th, Occupy Cleveland, in conjunction | Read More »

Cleveland Magazine has just posted an interview from the tents at Public Square in Cleveland with the shell-shocked reaction of the remaining Occupiers on receiving news that their comrades had been arrested for plotting to blow up an area bridge. As I posted earlier today, the men have a clear link to the Occupy Cleveland movement and this article confirms that all five men were | Read More »

  Meet Cleveland Occupier Brandon Baxter.  A few weeks ago he was one of the few remaining protesters manning the shabby Occupation tent on Cleveland’s Public Square. Today he was arrested for plotting to blow up a major bridge in the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. Anthony Hayne is another member of Occupy Cleveland. He was highlighted in an October, 2011 story in the Lakewood | Read More »

UPDATE:  When I originally wrote this diary, I was under the impression that there were nine, and only nine, senators holding up this bill. It has since been brought to my attention that the nine listed below are the senators who are most likely to influence the decision to bring the bill to a floor vote. It’s important that all Ohio senators hear from their | Read More »

Sen. Marco Rubio might be rethinking his endorsement of Mitt Romney about now. Yesterday, Rubio posted a couple items to his Facebook page, which had nothing whatsoever to do with Romney. The first was a video explaining the importance of repealing Obamacare. It was posted around 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. At first the comments were about Obamacare and the thread was a veritable Rubio love-fest: Barbara | Read More »

Today I watched a few episodes of Doomsday Preppers and Doomsdays Bunkers and realized we haven’t been giving President Obama enough credit. He and his cronies and co-conspirators have created an entire industry based upon people’s fears that our country is heading toward either an impending total financial collapse, #OWS-style anarchy resulting in a collapse of the social order, or a terrorist attack.  In a recent survey | Read More »

I thought when March 6th passed we would be done with the relentless robocalls. Romney has become Public Enemy Number One around here for disrupting breakfast, lunch, dinner, and American Idol with his nasty calls. Unfortunately, someone else has picked up where his attacks left off – The Women of the 99%. Of course, we all know 99% is code for “liberals who want stuff | Read More »

In a way, you have to feel sorry for Mitt Romney. His record is nothing to brag about. He was the Founding Father of Obamacare, his fiscal record in MA is a mixed bag, and he’s flip flopped on nearly every issue that conservatives hold near and dear. In some ways, he’s become the GOP’s affirmative action candidate. Everyone knows he’s not at the top | Read More »

The Mandate   As a follow-up to Erick’s post about Romney’s advice to Obama that we need an individual mandate, I wanted to point out that Romney was calling for a nationwide mandate as far back as 2006. On 4/12/2006 Mitt Romney told Neil Cavuto that an individual mandate was the Republican Way: “It’s Republican way of reforming the market. Because having 30 million people | Read More »
