The other day, Attorney General Eric Holder put out an angry letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in defense of the indefensible, charging the Undiebomber as a civilian. He finally admitted that it was his decision to do so, which included Mirandizing the terrorist, allowing the Undiebomber to keep his mouth shut. Which he did until recently. After reading this letter, there are | Read More »
John Kerry, Massachusett’s now-senior Senator (I wonder how long he’s wanted to be referred to that way), has decided that all other problems in the country are to be sidelined so that the United States can pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution: As anger at last month’s Supreme Court decision that gutted decades of campaign finance laws continues to build on Capitol Hill, Senator | Read More »
Over the past year, we’ve heard Teh Won dismiss the notion of American exceptionalism as he went on his World Apology Tour, saying that the populations of every country believes it is exceptional. While this may appear true at some level on the surface, the fact is America, by design, is exceptional, and nowhere is this better displayed than in our people’s ability to homeschool | Read More »
I don’t normally watch speeches given by Teh Won; I don’t find them all that good or inspiring. But I did this time. The speech definitely wasn’t any good or inspiring. I have to wonder after watching it: does this guy even know what job he has? This wasn’t a speech by a President or Commander in Chief; this was a speech a community organizer | Read More »
All I can say is that when Matt Yglesias makes statements such as this, in a whiny post about the filibuster [emphasis mine]: If the framers had deemed it crucial that the Senate operate via supermajority, they could have written that into the constitution. What’s more, it’s not really clear what relevance the framers have here—they wanted an un-elected Senate, they wanted slavery, they wanted | Read More »
Omigod!!! Gee, why hasn’t anyone thought of that before?!? I mean other than all those times the Bush administration wanted to reform these money toilets? All I can say is, “DUH!!!” Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) wants a single agency to replace Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to handle the flushing of the financial system further into the crapper. Of course, this isn’t reform. What Frank | Read More »
Y’all are going to have to work with me on this. I hate the law enforcement approach in battling terrorists, especially Al Qaeda terrorists. I think the idea of Mirandizing terrorists prior to a full interrogation is a huge detriment to the national security of this nation while it’s at war. The fact that some new group that is supposed to interrogate terrorists isn’t yet | Read More »
Awesome video by by conservative singer/musician/songwriter Joe Dan Gorman, “No Rules for Radicals”. Enjoy. Go check out some of his other tunes and videos at JoeDanMedia.com. (Hat tip: Smitty at The Other McCain)
UPDATE: I can’t get the video to work. You can either watch it at the White House website, or view the entire post, including the video, below at my blog. Or just read the transcript that I link to below. Teh Won, someone who claims to be an “expert” on the U.S. Constitution, decided to discuss how wrong the Citizens United v. FEC decision was | Read More »
Cost to tax cheating private federal contractors to pay back owed taxes? $5 billion. Cost of having Teh Won let Tax Cheat Timmie go after these…tax cheats? Priceless. Look, I don’t have a problem with the government going after tax cheats. But come one, Geithner? That’s why he shouldn’t have been nominated to be the Treasury Secretary in the first place. Of course, being a | Read More »
The Obama administration has decided to double-down on its class warfare and populist schtick in the wake of the loss of the Democratic filibuster-proof majority in the Senate with the win of Senator-elect Scott Brown. Teh Won has called on Congress to pass a 10-year tax on banks that received TARP money, even if the money, plus interest, was paid back; the cost to the | Read More »
Following on yesterday’s post where I lay much of the blame for the Undiebomber being prosecuted in civilian court on Attorney General Eric Holder, the DoJ issued a statement justifying the action. Holder’s spokesmouth: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s spokesman Matthew Miller said FBI agents obtained useful intelligence from Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab after he was arrested but before he was charged for allegedly trying to | Read More »
And they are going to get more than one lesson. Look at the arrogance of the The Won, via DRJ at Patterico’s [emphasis mine]: “If there’s one thing that I regret this year is that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of | Read More »
Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair and FBI Director Robert Mueller were on Capitol Hill yesterday before the Senate Homeland Security (Blair) and Judiciary (Mueller) Committees yesterday. What they admitted was absolutely stunning. But that isn’t all. We have the Hasan report from the DoD which has been trashed by everyone who understands we’re in a war. Then, there is another related travesty from our | Read More »
Erroll Southers has decided that after lying to the Senate over actions he did as an FBI agent, explaining that national security matters must take “man-made global warming” just as seriously as Islamist terrorism, and wanting to allow TSA employees to unionize (which would seriously hamper national security), it might be a good idea for him to remove himself as a nominee for the top | Read More »
Well, here we are at the one year anniversary of Barack Obama, “The One We were Supposed To Be Waiting For” (The One), Mr. Hope N. Change (that’s mine), being sworn in as President of the United States. He had a huge majority of his fellow Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He had an agenda. Eventually, he got a super-majority | Read More »
Turns out Scott Brown had a lot of Republican help in his campaign over the last couple of weeks. But to maintain his independence, the NSRC and the RNC kept really quiet about what they were doing. Ed Morrissey: This was a brilliant move by both the NRSC and the RNC. They didn’t fall into a Democratic trap by trumpeting their involvement with Brown, who | Read More »
I hate reading the New York Times’ Paul Krugman and do it as infrequently as possible. But I had a momentary lapse of judgment when I read this column. Here’s Krugman explaining what he thinks didn’t happen during the first year of The One’s Presidency [emphasis mine]: It’s instructive to compare Mr. Obama’s rhetorical stance on the economy with that of Ronald Reagan. It’s often | Read More »
Here are some thoughts I want to present, along with an opportunity for others to chime in. We’ve all seen the pictures of the tragedy going on in Haiti. We also know that Haiti is perhaps the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (although my money on that is actually Cuba; but I digress). All attempts by the U.S. to provide Haitians with the ability | Read More »
I just heard this on Fox News Radio, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) is retiring at the end of this term. He had been elected to his seat 8 times. I remember when there was a battle to replace Tom Delay as House Majority Leader after Delay stepped down due to the unfounded charges filed against him by Texas Democrat. Shadegg, along with Roy Blunt of | Read More »
