Michele Bachmann’s much discussed “Tea Party Caucus” seems to be a good idea…at first. What it’s supposed to do, as written by Morrissey; Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) got approval from the House to form a Tea Party Caucus, an official and voluntary organization within Congress. The TPC will join other special-interest caucuses like the Congressional Black Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus, and the Progressive Caucus, which | Read More »

Apparently in addition to running for Congress in Florida’s 22nd District, LTC(R) Allen B. West also writes for a motorcycle rag in South Florida called Wheels on the Road. There’s a lot of good stuff there as I browse through their site, including the picture you see here. The magazine price is only $3 a shot, but you can download it for free (.pdf) also. | Read More »

Change is upon our great country, it was promised, and delivered as promised, by the Democrat Party. It’s here, it’s real, and it’s changing our landscape today as effectively as locusts once affected crops; devouring everything and potentially leaving nothing recognizable or usable in its wake. Change; change for the sake of change? Good intentioned but misguided change that means well but doesn’t see the | Read More »

Even in days like these when you think nothing could surprise you, something does. A local California paper this Saturday posted a political cartoon attacking a local candidate for his looks. Was it his skin color? Noooo…. Nick Popaditch is a medically retired United States Marine who served from 1986 until forced to retire in 2005 after wounds received in the Battle for Fallujah. After | Read More »

There’s a lot of gnashing of teeth today over Senator Scott Brown joining the ranks of joining the Democrat Underground of Snowe and Collins in supporting the Left’s “financial overhaul” bill. Snowe even spewed her usual “We Have To Do Something(c)” bs; “While not perfect, the legislation takes necessary steps to implement meaningful regulatory reforms, create strong consumer protections and restore confidence in the American | Read More »

Via NewsBusters with a h/t to Pat Dollard; If former California Gov. Jerry Brown, now once again a candidate for governor of California really wants to be sort of a unifier as he says, he might want to watch how he refers to some of his constituents. On MSNBC’s July 9 “Hardball,” Brown was interviewed by host Chris Matthews and was asked how he could | Read More »

Race hustlers Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are headlining what will be an effort to recapture “the good old days” of the 2008 campaign by the NAACP at their annual convention starting tomorrow in Kansas City.

Lt. Col. Allen West, candidate for Congress (FL-22), gave another of his patented awesome speeches on July 3, where he not only called out the Democrat spy brigades, (who slink and weasel around Gollum-like looking for a GOP candidate to misspeak or otherwise slip up), he also blasted Sheryl Crow for dismissing Tea Party activists as being “uneducated”, “angry”, and “dangerous”. He took on Pete | Read More »

Why are so many people in this country disconnected from this country? They are totally clueless about where we come from as a country… Via Morrissey; Leno nails it at the end, from Grandpa down comes the history of this country. We’ve at some point been dumbed down hard. This is all stuff I was raised with, and I can’t imagine at what point it | Read More »

The NRA in thinking about backing Harry Reid in November over his GOP opponent Sharron Angle is worried more along the lines of who the next Senate Majority Leader will be; “The Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association are always one bad incident away from politicians like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin exploiting their agenda of gun control,” said Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA spokesman. | Read More »

I could type better if I could just scrape my jaw off the keyboard. Via Connie Hair at Human Events; Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that “deemed as passed” a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the “deeming” document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without | Read More »

It shouldn’t have taken beating the NRA over the head to get them to do the right thing on the Kagan nomination, but for some reason it did. Now the NRA comes out and says; NRA Opposes Kagan, Will Score Senators on Confirmation Vote The National Rifle Association announced Thursday it will oppose Senate confirmation of Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court and plans | Read More »

Patterico has a good take on US Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Judicial Committee hearings of both Estrada and Kagan, where she lambastes Estrada for his “lack of judicial experience” but finds that same missing quality “refreshing” when the Supreme Court nominee is a liberal activist. I found additional video of Feinstein becoming agitated during the Sotomayor hearings; seems she’s really gotten sick of hearing | Read More »

Actually, it’s more than just a speech. All indications are this Thursday will be the Summer kickoff to our next political nightmare; trying to stave off yet another Amnesty package. Even now, activists working through OFA are planning on targeting GOP Congress members and “making them pay” if they don’t line up for amnesty.

I noted yesterday that the possibility exists we can stall the draconian CARB rules (AB-32) a couple years to give affected businesses a chance to recover from the sledgehammer blow already dealt them by the nearly submerged economy. There is now an initiative on the November ballot to allow the people opportunity to forestall the damage our one party state has inflicted on us. Not | Read More »

I wrote earlier how California’s AB-32 was killing California jobs. The state Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to cut no slack to businesses suffering because of their ecological idiocy. Well now the people get to speak, because it’ll be on the November ballot [h/t Jaded (again)]; An initiative to suspend California’s draconian climate law has qualified for the November ballot. The people can | Read More »

From WISN News comes this clip of Joe “Big F*n Deal” Biden at Kopp’s Frozen Custard in Greenfield, WI. Biden first offers to pay for whatever he got, but the manager tells him “No charge”, and then mentions that lowering taxes might be a good thing. Biden totally blows the guy off, slurps his free frozen custard, and saunters off; What a jerk. Joe Biden | Read More »

A leftist activist named Elena Herrada (anybody that went to the University of Michigan, she’s your baby!) seems to think there is just no use for Border Patrol.

The United States Constitution makes most things pretty clear, it’s just people looking for loopholes that muck everything up. They redefine certain words or ignore others and then call their way of doing things “Constitutional”, even when to most that way is clearly not.

The City of Los Angeles is fast learning the laws of unintended consequences with regard to their idiotic boycott of Arizona; As expected, the city of Los Angeles showed just how committed it is to its boycott of Arizona. On a 13-0 vote, the LA City Council on Wednesday decided to exempt the city’s red-light camera program from its shunning of all things Arizona. The | Read More »
