Why Governors Matter: Nikki Haley Takes on Barack Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | December 3rd at 05:00 AM |
Nikki Haley is just so awesome. At a White House gathering for the new governors, Governor-Elect Haley confronted Mr. Obama and asked him to repeal Obamacare. Obama refused so Haley said she wanted an opt-out for South Carolina. She made sure the White House knew she was going to fight every step of the way on this. What is more awesome is that she demanded | Read More »
An FCC Net Neutrality sunset is a no-win scenario
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 30th at 01:30 PM |
In my Tech at Night series at RedState we’ve been waiting on the FCC to tell us what they intend to do in December about Net Neutrality. Rumors say that the FCC may come to a compromise on the issue. Instead of declaring war on industry and attempting to take over the Internet under Title II, Chairman Julius Genachowski may try to pass a set | Read More »
Gov. Jindal Calls Obama’s National Security Strategy ‘Dumb’ and ‘Dangerous’
By: Jason Mattera (Diary) | November 30th at 12:00 PM |
Bobby Jindal wasted no time assessing this administration’s approach to fighting terrorism, mocking Obama’s strategy as a “treatise on social justice.” In part two of his exclusive interview with HUMAN EVENTS, the Louisiana Governor argued that Obama’s inability to talk honestly about radical Islam stems from the President’s erroneous perception of why the threat even exists. “We just need to give these poor people more | Read More »
Impotence & Salad
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 29th at 05:00 AM |
Welcome back. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. There are a few stories that came out over the holiday weekend and I think they are best tied together by one word — impotence. Barack Obama increasingly appears to be an impotent President and no amount of viagra funded through Obamacare seems capable of helping the man. First there was North Korea. They have, in | Read More »

Michele Bachmann Is On the Money
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 23rd at 05:00 AM |
Michele Bachmann, for reasons unknown to me, decided to sit down with the BBC. God bless her for evangelizing and bringing the message of freedom even to places like that. But she is being attacked and distorted for what she said in this interview. The interviewer kept asking Congresswoman Bachmann if she stood by a 2008 statement that Barack Obama was anti-American. What she responded | Read More »
Job, Qohelet, and Obama: A Mismatch Made In Heaven
By: Thomas A. Howe, Ph.D. (Diary) | November 21st at 02:50 PM |
It is certainly not uncommon for people to take an interpretation of a biblical passage, or even a biblical book, without either being aware of or simply ignoring the fact that there are other, and usually historically traditional and orthodox, views on those very passages. This is particularly true when considering the more difficult passages and books of the Old Testament. Lay people, such as | Read More »
Tech at Night: Red Alert
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 20th at 05:19 AM |
I know it’s a big day for Net Neutrality when I wake up and my Email Inbox is jammed full with links, so many basically saying the same thing: The FCC is on the move. I’m told it all goes back to a November 15 speech by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, in which he expresses an urgency for the FCC to pass a bunch of | Read More »

Democrats already forgetting the midterms?
By: RedState Insider (Diary) | November 19th at 06:48 PM |
After the election, it seemed like the White House might have gotten the message. Obama said “the overwhelming message that I hear from the voters is that we…want you to work harder to arrive at consensus. We want you to focus completely on jobs and the economy…” White House officials were reported to be “deeply concerned about winning back political independents”. The FCC also seemed | Read More »
Tech at Night: ADA on the Internet, Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 18th at 03:00 AM |
Good evening. I don’t know how I managed to do a Tech at Night on Friday night. Just barely I guess. Because I’ve been sick from Friday night on, though I was mostly alright today. And so we’re back in business. And we’ll start with a note on more Internet control that the Barack Obama administration is mulling. Yes, again, the content of webpages is | Read More »

Regulatory uncertainty killing American business, investment
By: James Richardson (Diary) | November 17th at 03:18 PM |
The same non-profit group who wasted no time in lobbying new members of Congress to slash federal spending — by blanketing Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport with print ads in time for this week’s freshman orientation session — unveiled today a quirky new web spot addressing the nation’s “uncertain” economic environment. The video, which features a bullish “boss lady” who opens beer bottles with her | Read More »

Want to be more like Europe? Well, in one way, we do: The EU has rejected Net Neutrality regulation as unnecessary. The EU’s equivalent of an FCC Chairman | Read More »

Obama caves on tax increases
By: Dan Spencer (Diary) | November 11th at 06:30 AM |
Obama accepts the new political reality and capitulates on his long campaign to sell what may call the largest tax increase in American history. Senior Presidential Advisor David Axelrod tells the Huffington Post President Obama will accept an across-the-board continuation of Bush-era tax cuts. According to Axelrod, “We have to deal with the world as we find it.” Yes, elections have consequences. After making “well | Read More »
Why Does Tim Geithner Still Have A Job?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 10th at 10:00 AM |
One week before the midterm elections in 2006, George W. Bush publicly said he would stand by Donald Rumsfeld. The day after the election, Donald Rumsfeld was out the door. The President, Republicans, and virtually everyone else blamed the war for the GOP midterm disaster. Rumsfeld was the head that rolled. The day after the election. Tim Geithner’s head remains in Washington. Why? The President | Read More »
