Via Brad Blakeman; Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert appeared and “testified,” Friday before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration. The comedian appeared as an “expert” witness on the plight of migrant farm workers at the express invitation of the subcommittee’s chairwoman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). His “testimony’ was an embarrassment to himself, his country, the Congress and the entire issue of immigration reform. It amounted to | Read More »

Interviewed on Fox News, Republican candidate for California’s 8th House District John Dennis would like to debate the incumbent Pelosi, but he can’t get a word in edgewise – because she’s afraid to face him in a public debate. Not surprising though, really, as Pelosi’s record is indefensible, and she really doesn’t want to be compared to a better candidate in public. As of this | Read More »

I’m at 35,000 feet on-board an airliner recently departed from Austin, Texas en-route to Orange County Airport, California and there’s a lot of time to kill.

I’ll have to recap | Read More »

So why are we spending all this energy rehashing the primaries? We are, I’m hearing the murmurs from a lot of people in California who are definitely conservative. I’m no fan of Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman, and Poizner wasn’t sending thrills up my leg either, but that’s the breaks when money buys TV and radio ads, and the “Citizen Representative” of today can barely | Read More »

With DOOM in November fast approaching, it’s funny seeing Democrats like Gerry Connolly (D-VA) scramble to appear “Conservative”, similar to the ones who just last year wanted to appear “Pro-Life”. Democratic leaders in Congress still back Obama, but the willingness to raise taxes is waning among the rank and file as the stagnant economy threatens the party’s majority in the House and Senate. “In my | Read More »

It’s not just the economic downturn to blame for the hundreds of homeless people living in RVs for days at a time on the streets or parking lots in Venice Beach; the area has become a magnet for the homeless because the people in the area feel compassion for the “downtrodden” and people who through bad life choices or bad luck found themselves with nothing | Read More »

I first saw this over at Blackfive, and it made me angry enough to spit. “Your son deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there.” Those were the chilling words yelled at Gold Star mother Debbie Lee by Jodie Evans and her Code Pink gang as they were trashing a recruiting station in Berkley, CA a few years ago. | Read More »

We’re headed down the last lap toward the November elections, and covering all the conservative candidates we can find, even supporting “moderately” conservatives ones to stop the patently leftist ones from taking or keeping office.

Sam Farr, called one of the “Most Dangerous Democrats“, has been in office since 1993-a long time. Too long, in fact. His voting record closely matches his affiliation with the American Socialists of America, one of grubbing for more government power, massive spending, with higher taxes to attempt to cover it. A real Nancy’s Boy, in other words. Most recently, Michelle Malkin found him grabbing | Read More »

Obama spokes hole Robert Gibbs has always had something of a tough job I think, anyone whose job it would be to sell the destructive Obama policies would. Anyone but a committed Marxist would.

You’ve no doubt heard the crapola about the guy who want to build a mosque near the WTC site where many of you no doubt spent a hell of a lot of time picking through the rubble trying to find someone alive.
