I’m not a conspiracy theory person, but I just read on Breitbart that there were 13 million FEWER votes than 4 years ago. In fact, McCain got more votes in 2008 than Obama in 2012! Does that make sense to anyone? I understand the lower votes for Obama, but to me — there should have been 13 million more votes…..for Romney! If there were in | Read More »
Donald Trump made a big deal about releasing his Birth Certificate today. However, the MSM is making a big deal about how it’s not really his actual long form birth certificate. To which I say …….EXACTLY! Was this action by The Donald as intentionally brilliant as I think it is?…… Consider this an open thread
You can’t leave action to others. If you want results, you need to get off your rear end and get in the fight. Today, I did that. I called my new Republican Texas State Representative, Barbara Nash, to urge her not to vote for Joe Straus as Speaker. I never expected to actually talk to her so I wasn’t surprised when I got voice mail. | Read More »
After reading Drew Ryun’s post today on Joe Straus, I went to the Lake Fork Tea Party link for more info. I saw that my newly elected Representative. Barbara Nash’s name was on the list so I called it. Turned out, it was her personal cell phone. She didn’t answer so I left a message. The message I left was to apprise her of my | Read More »
Politico reports this morning that a deal is imminent for the Republicans to agree to approve of 34 of 38 of President Obama’s pending judicial nominations excepting only Goodwin Liu, Edward Chen, Louis Butler, and John McConnell. I guess that means that the Republicans are caving on the appointment of Robert Chatigny. Redstate readers should be very familiar with Judge Chatigny due to numerous postings | Read More »
Fox News and Politico Reportthis evening that Fred Upton has won selection as the new Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Congressman Upton was energetically opposed for this post by RedState, Freedom Works, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck among many others in the conservative community. Fred Upton has the strong support of Speaker-to-be Boehner for this post. This is the first significant break by | Read More »
I moved from Orange County, California to Oklahoma in 2003 and I’m never going back. Jobs were fleeing California back in 2003 due to the incompetentness of Gray Davis and I saw the handwriting on the wall. Already evident back then was the coming growth in taxes, spending, energy costs and the corresponding loss in manufacturing jobs to the the tax and regulatory burden. Also | Read More »
Open thread… Just got back from voting…..and the polling place was NOT crowded. This does not give me the warm fuzzies. I hope this is an aberration (I’m in Texas). But if we don’t vote today, we will NOT close the deal. We must win and we must win big or the message will not be received. We suspect – fear – know that voter | Read More »
What could go wrong? Matt Lauer revealed on Leno tonight that he has an advance copy of George W. Bush’s new book in advance of an interview scheduled for November 8. Even though Lauer was required to sign a secrecy agreement, this is NBC after all. Wonder how many other news people have advance copies of his book because of scheduled interviews for the week | Read More »
In 2008 I signed up with Obama’s website and still get the OFA emails (about 3/day now). Today’s email claims that early voting in Ohio and Iowa has seen a higher Democrat turnout than Republican. Anyone have any news on this? Or is just spin? Sure would be good to know if the RNC or the state Republican Parties had a good turnout operation going.
There is growing anger directed at Lindsey Graham for the increasing number of betrayels of the Conservative cause. However, I believe his actions are carefully orchestrated to court his growing “support base” — the media. Senator Grahamnesty is following in the footsteps of his friend and colleague in the Senate — John McCain. He is, I believe, most definitely planning a run for the Presidency. | Read More »
I have written several times over the last several months on my growing dissatisfaction with Joe Scarborough. I believe as he’s settled into the Upper West Side of NYC he seems more concerned with being popular with his liberal friends and followers than consistently and aggressively presenting the conservative position on the consistent leftward slant of this administration. I will not re-cap the numerous examples | Read More »
I should know better, but every day I find myself shaking my head in disbelief at serious issues of corruption and malfeasance regarding the Obama administration that the MSM simply ignores. Let’s take the Blago trial as an example. This week it was revealed that Valerie Jarrett really, really wanted to be U.S. Senator and wanted the appointment from Blagojevich. President-Elect Obama called an SEIU | Read More »
Republicans have been enjoying a good laugh at how SC Democrats could be so stupid as to give an unknown, non-campaigning candidate 60% of the vote and the Democratic nomination for senator in South Carolina. However, we may want to look deeper as to why this may have happened. Call me a cynic, but we already know that special interest groups aligned with Democrats have | Read More »
(For some reason, my orignal post on this didn’t post, so I’ll try again.) Ever notice how many times Obama asserts: “I am the President of the United States“? At first, this was just an annoying speech pattern to me. Now, however, it is starting to make me wonder if it doesn’t have some deeper psychological significance. A few dates that I’ve found (not necessarily in chronological | Read More »
It seems that the Obama administration is coordinating one aspect of the Gulf Oil Spill response in an efficient manner — that of limiting press access to areas hit hardest by the oil spill. This from the Huffington Post (of all places): The chief of the Coast Guard’s public affairs programs branch said access had been hampered by a cumbersome approval process that stretched all | Read More »
Ever notice how many times Obama asserts that he is the President of the United States? What was at first to me just an annoying speech pattern, is now starting to make me wonder if it doesn’t have some deeper psychological significance. A few dates that I’ve found (not necessarily in chronological order): May27, 2010 press conference, ” I am the President and the buck stops with | Read More »
Joe Friday for President – 2012: “You really believe that. don’t you?”
The other day I voiced my concerns about how the Democrats were going to distort Rand Paul’s views and try to use his statements to demonize the Tea Party and all Republicans. Most of you have already seen the evidence of that happening. They’ve rolled out their Civil rights icons like Jim Clyburn and a long procession of successive condemnations from Democrat leaders. Back in | Read More »
Per Fox News, Janet Napolitano may not process and deport illegal immigrants from Arizona: “ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel,” Napolitano said. “It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport persons delivered to it by any government agents, even its own.” This is outrageous. It is time for this incompetent | Read More »
I wrote a bit ago about how I think Rand Paul just self-destructed. But let’s get ready for the next page in the Democrat playbook. Every single Republican will be asked if they agree with Rand Paul’s position. Clever politics. “Senator Coburn, do you agree with Rand Paul’s opposition to the Civil Rights Act”. Get ready. Thursday will be a long day for every Republican | Read More »
I just watched Rand Paul on Rachel Maddow, I’m sorry to say that he has a firm grasp on the 3rd rail of Racial Politics and doesn’t seem to want to let go. This will be a HUGE issue in MSM over the next few days. While he says a lot of great things about abhorring discrimination and his support for anti-discriminatory laws for public | Read More »
Law and Order has been on TV now for 20 years and will probably be back for its 21st year next season if only to set the record for longest running series on TV (beating out Gunsmoke). It’s ratings, however, have been tanking and like heads of other media firms, executives at NBC totally don’t get it. When Law & Order first appeared on the | Read More »
While most MSM pundits and politicians have no idea what the Tea Party movement and rising conservative activism is all about, it’s refreshing to see that some seem to be getting it. I feel especially encouraged by the job that John Boehner has been doing this year. Most of his statements regarding the bloated, government power grabs have been right on point. Today Politico has | Read More »
President Obama has so mis-managed U.S. Foreign policy that a major conflict in the Middle East is all but inevitable. His actions toward Iran have been nothing but verbal bluster and posturing for the U.S. MSM. In reality, his concrete actions toward Iran amount to nothing more than an obsequious bow. From a silent voice to Iran becoming a member of the UN’s Women’s Rights | Read More »
