Please read: A personal appeal to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. You mad, bro? With that business out of the way, back to Tech at Night. I for one am glad that Jon Kyl and Sheldon Whitehouse are having trouble coming up with a compromise. The Lieberman-Collins bill favored by Harry Reid and Barack Obama is terrible and just an awful, huge power grab. We’re better | Read More »
Darrell Issa’s House Energy and Commerce is going to have a special hearing with all five members of the FCC, including newly confirmed members Jessica Rosenworcel and Ajit Pai. The FCC is expected to be questioned about issues ranging from wired phone competition to spectrum. I hope Mitt Romney’s people are listening, because the hearing should also highlight regulatory reforms needed across the executive branch | Read More »
Eric Cantor (R-VA) decided to pull out of talks with Joe Biden on what to do about the debt. He placed the problem in President Obama’s and Speaker’s Boehner’s laps saying there were issues relating to taxes that only they could resolve. Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ), a man well known on Capitol Hill to negotiate defeat from the jaws of victory, decided he would pull | Read More »
Members of the Tea Party and the conservative movement need to be prepared for some serious disappointment if news reports are correct. News reports have emerged indicating that that “dollar for dollar” cuts to spending promised as part of a grand bargain to increase the debt ceiling may be pro-rated over 10, 20 or even 25 years. It is easy for politicians to promise future | Read More »
The AP doesn’t really explain the significance of the fact that the GOP is sending just House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl to the President’s much-ballyhooed deficit reduction panel, so let me do it. When the President set up this thing in the first place, he told the four party leaders in Congress – Speaker Boehner (R) and Minority Leader | Read More »
Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) is throwing in the towel and retiring from the Senate. Much speculation will be had over the next few weeks about who to endorse and who to support. Let me be up front and just say I endorse Jeff Flake for the United States Senate. Now . . . now we just need to get him to run. Details. Just a | Read More »
Late last week, Congress passed a Continuing Resolution funding the government until December 18th. Congress has two big items left on the agenda — tax cuts and an appropriations bill funding the federal government into next year. Liberals would like to take up other issues, yet taxes and spending are the only two issues that Congress has to get done before they finally end this Lame Duck | Read More »
Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) is the Republican key for the Obama Administration to pass New START Treaty this year. 67 Senators are needed to pass any treaty, therefore the support of Republicans is necessary to pass START. Republicans may want to stall passage of the treaty into the next Congress, because the New START Treaty may harm national security. The Obama Administration may have signed a side agreement | Read More »
Who’s telling the truth, Jon Kyl or Barack Obama? Following up on Jon Kyl’s remarks, which I broke here at RedState this weekend, (that President Obama told him in a private, one-on-one meeting, in the Oval Office, that he would not secure the border because if he were to do so then “you all” would have no reason to support “comprehensive immigration reform”) and what | Read More »
Hat tip. Link back. Trackback. These are internet terms, as well as courtesies. Another way to put it might be: attribution. Sourcing. Or how about “credit where due”? I’m a blogger. Many of you are bloggers too, and you know the same thing I do. When you repost something from another site, you attribute it. This is true of almost anything you do online. On | Read More »
Last week was America’s introduction to liberal Elena Kagan. The vetting of President Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, will continue this week and we shall see how the least experienced nominee in our collective lifetimes fares in her second week of consideration by the American people. Conservatives assailed Kagan over the weekend for breaking the law in banning the military from recruiting | Read More »
Before hearings even start on Elena Kagan, Jon Kyl is declaring surrender. The number two Republican in the Senate says the GOP will not filibuster Kagan. Why give up the card early? Why signal to the base that there will be no fight? The Senate GOP can say there will be a fight, but if they are giving up their ultimate weapon early, a lot | Read More »
