    Do you remember this controversial John McCain presidential campaign television spot targeted against then-Senator Barack Obama in the middle of the heated 2008 election? Here’s the script: Announcer: He’s the biggest celebrity in the world. But, is he ready to lead? With gas prices soaring, Barack Obama says no to offshore drilling.

    Photo Caption Contest: Tear-anny at the White House Press Conference?

    On Monday May 6th the following question was posted on The Blaze, linked to Buzzfeed’s report from Reuters: Did Obama Cry While Answering Benghazi Questions During Press Conference?

    A Historic News Week In Washington From An Eye Witness Perspective — Past, Present and Future

    Last week my husband and I were back in our hometown of Washington D.C. where we both had business and events to attend. Normally I do not write about my personal travel adventures but this trip had a rather unique “historical time capsule” element that makes it worth recounting. My husband, a retired State Department Foreign Service officer is now an executive with an international | Read More »

    Hillary Watch 2016: What Difference Does It Make? None, My Dear…None At All

      A few days before the May 8th Benghazi whistleblower hearings I heard several liberals spinning Democrat talking points on cable news saying that these House hearings were really about Republicans trying to build roadblocks to Hillary Clinton’s yet to be announced White House run in 2016. Of course I was appalled (but not surprised) that Democrats were trying to link Republicans attempting to learn the truth about an | Read More »

    Why Obama and the Liberal Media Need To Take a Good Look at the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist List

    This week the FBI announced an addition to its Most Wanted Terrorist List, a female by the name of Joanne Chesimard. Upon hearing this news I thought it was a good time to check out the list. (You never know what you will find because these days you might even spot that “quiet” neighbor or pot-smoking classmate.) After reading the list I strongly encourage President Obama to do the | Read More »

    The Performance President vs. The Press Conference President

    If an alien landed in Washington today and asked me to describe our leader, all I would have to do is show him video footage of two events just days apart. First would be video of our leader performing at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) on Saturday evening. There, the alien would watch as President Obama delivered a series of hilarious jokes with masterful | Read More »

    Two Supreme Ironies Of The Boston Terror Attacks

    Last Tuesday, April 16th, in response to a piece I had written here on RedState on the day of the Boston attack, Politico reporter Dylan Byers tweeted the following: A right-wing blogger gambles on speculation: “Why It Is Obvious That The Boston Marathon Attack Is Islamic Terrorism” http://bit.ly/ZmGwpG Even though my “gamble” paid off, I will not be collecting any winnings.  However, two developments connected to the Boston attack — one involving | Read More »

    The Most Despicable Headline About the Boston Marathon Bombing From Left-Leaning Media

    Now along comes the influential, left leaning, Salon.com with this “most read” piece by David Sirota. The headline and subhead are enough to make me first recoil in horror and then weep for our nation. See if you do not have the same reaction. LET’S HOPE THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBER IS A WHITE AMERICAN There is a double standard: White terrorists are dealt with as lone wolves, Islamists | Read More »

    Why It Is Obvious That The Boston Marathon Attack Is Islamic Terrorism

When I was in high school it was also a day to head into Boston to watch the Boston Marathon (and when my friends and I tried to look and act mature enough to get into bars that lined | Read More »

    Will Obama Be Partying at White House During North Korea’s Missile Launch?

Does this iconic Superman intro also describe the state of Hillary’s non-campaign campaign for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2016?  Perhaps, but with so much news the media is slobbering to report that barf bags, “tucked into the seat pocket in front of you,” may be needed to help RedState readers get through it all.

    How Obama’s Possible Third Term Was Thwarted By the 1948 Republican ‘Do Nothing’ Congress

    In my self-appointed role as “undercover reporter” at least three times a week I receive emails from Organizing for Action (OFA). This is President Obama’s new never-ending and powerful campaign organization, which up until recently was known as Organizing for America. After reading their emails, I give thanks for the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. Why? Because if not for bold action that was taken | Read More »

    Our New National Anthem?

    This “Obamaville” parody video sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville” accurately reflects our current State of the Union better than Obama’s speech filled with half-truths and exaggerations. Should the GOP have just aired this video as their official response? There is plenty of water! (Although none to drink.) Re-posted from PJ Media

    A Strong Social Movement to Elect the First Female President Spells Trouble for the GOP in 2016

    There were two great national social movements of the 20th century, Civil Rights and the Women’s Movement. (Also known as the Feminist Movement, Women’s Liberation and Women’s Lib.) As these movements gained momentum they contributed to the social upheaval that helped define the decade of the 1960s.
