It’s that time of year. Most Americans are putting their final touches on their decorations, getting their final presents, and getting ready to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Well, not everybody: Nina Totenberg actually apologizes for saying she was at a Christmas party. As Ace says, Totenberg would never say “I was — forgive the expression — at a gay wedding”; remember, Totenberg’s outfit, | Read More »
According to the St. Petersburg Times, state economists estimate that Rick Scott’s first budget as Florida’s governor will contain a $3.5 billion deficit. But that is immaterial to the authors of this unnamed editorial in the Orlando Sentinel. They chastised the incoming governor for indicating he might possibly (and should) kill the high-speed rail line liberals want built in Florida. The editorial claims Scott, a | Read More »
The joke governor-elect of California, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, called his gubernatorial opponent Meg Whitman a whore in their recent election. The National Organization of UGLY Whores Women sided with “Moonbeam”. Well, NOW, Feminazis who couldn’t get jobs at Hooters, is suing Hooters in California. They aren’t suing for the usual reason, that Hooters exploits women by forcing them to wear scanty outfits. No. Get this; | Read More »
For awhile now, the city of Chicago, under the thumb of Mayor Richard M. “Shortshanks”* Daley, has had established a minority set-aside program to award city contracts to businesses owned by people that liberal statists call minorities. Being Chicago, this program was illegally manipulated by Democrats to defraud the city of $100 million in contracts (see the last paragraph of this piece; H/T: JWF). The | Read More »
Senate Republicans, especially Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who did a great job on Harry Reid’s power grabbing Omnibus farce, stood firm and forced Reid to blink; Reid pulled his bill and will vote to pass a continuing resolution to allow the whole federal government to operate through March, by which time Republicans will have the majority in the House. And the House finally voted | Read More »
The quotation marks around the word “mom” are deliberate for a variety of reasons. JammieWearingFool has the goods on Monet Parham, a California activist and state employee passing herself off as a “concerned mother” who is suing McDonalds with the help of the Marxist front group Communists for Pseudo Science to Line Our Own Pockets Center for Science in the Public Interest. The suit states | Read More »
The George Soros-funded fecal matter known as “Media Matters” has another “scandal” showing how they want people to believe that Fox News does not do the news, “FOXLEAKS: Fox boss ordered staff to cast doubt on climate science“. Naturally, Media Matters had to introduce a lie in order to “prove” their point [emphasis mine]: [Fox News Washington managing editor Bill] Sammon’s orders for Fox journalists | Read More »
This is what it’s like to work with statist politicians like Barack Obama and Harry Reid, those who adhere to the Darth Vader approach to deal making. Did Republicans learn anything? I know Democrats didn’t, but they don’t care. So first we get this really bad tax deal (which will probably pass the House; even Paul Ryan says we have to “suck it up”), now | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. This is what a real judicial ruling looks like, one based on the U.S. Constitution, compared to other “rulings” based on the talking points of the Democratic Party. Judge Henry Hudson of the Eastern District of Virginia, appointed by President George W. Bush, overturned the Obamacare mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance | Read More »
It was 69 years ago today that the Empire of Japan launched what President Franklin Roosevelt called that “unprovoked and dastardly attack” upon the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to bring the country militarily into World War II. FDR had it right; it was dastardly, and by all accounts, unprovoked. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t unexpected; after all, the U.S. and Japan had been | Read More »
Reading a liberal like Dana Milbank requires a strong constitution and a strong stomach. And speaking of constitution, the U.S. Constitution is something Milbank knows very little about, as is on display here in a piece titled “A strange way to honor the founding fathers.”
Attorney General Eric Holder, someone with not a whole lot to do apparently, went to Zurich, Switzerland to lend a hand to get the World Cup to the U.S. in 2022, a la his boss’s attempt to get the 2016 Olympics to Chicago on a whirlwind trip to Copenhagen. As with his boss, Holder failed; Qatar got it. Like I said, it is apparent our | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. As was the case with Thomas More Law Center v. Obama (TMLC), a Clinton-appointed Democratic political official masquerading as a federal judge issued a political statement of Democratic talking points masquerading as a judicial ruling. I don’t want to delve too much into the weeds of this “ruling” since Liberty University, et al. | Read More »
I want to stay away for current politics for now. I’ve always been somewhat of an Anglophile and very interested in English history. In a way, it makes sense; much of what made the United States, the institutions, representative government, language, etc., came directly from its being part of Great Britain prior to the American Revolution. Interestingly, America has yet to elect a woman as | Read More »
I know I’m thankful for many things. First, I’m thankful to God for allowing me to be born to two really great parents in the most wondrous and free country ever in the history of the world. I’m thankful to my parents themselves, along with the rest of my family. And I’m thankful to those past Americans who not only forged this nation, but sacrificed | Read More »
Richard Cohen, who normally has a column in the Washington Post, has a column in Investors Business Daily. He whines that in her book, Sarah Palin is taking him back to a time when he saw the word “colored” in front of a rooming house in D.C. back in 1952. See, Palin dared to take Michelle Obama to task when the current First Lady said | Read More »
The great Mark Steyn filled in for Rush Limbaugh today and he made a great point about TSA screening past and present. Steyn said U.S. airport security measures are geared to profiling, but profiling objects, not people. Ever since 9/11, we’ve been forced to remove our shoes, belts, other metal objects, coats, lighters (on my last trip, both my wife and I got our lighters | Read More »
In what has turned out to have been a farce of a trial, a trial meant to prove a political point and having nothing to do with justice, terrorist Ahmed Ghailani was convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit murder, and could receive 20 years to life. The jury found the verminous terrorist not guilty of the remainder of the 280 charges, including all | Read More »
The federal government plans on intruding more into the lives of all Americans. First, Congress is looking to pass an expansive food safety law. The FDA would be given the authority to impose additional standards, including new registration and documentation of safety plans by food producers to be given to the federal government, along with the authority to order recalls. The effect could very well | Read More »
Newsweek has a piece entitled “Can Laws Fix the Obesity Crisis?” It starts out by identifying a couple of places where government is imposing itself in order to force the people to eat healthy. The piece also points out that there haven’t been any good studies to determine if these laws are effective. But the key comes in near the end of the article when | Read More »
