Retiring Amnesty Shill: Rubio Doesn’t Have A Shot
It should surprise no one that amnesty shill Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) is endorsing Gov. Charlie Crist to replace him, seeing as Crist is a moderate at best, having strongly pushed for porkulus alongside Barack Obama. But he didn’t have to be such a dick to Marco Rubio, a fellow Republican competing in the Republican [...]
Dirty Harry: Not Enough Voted for Johnsen
13. May 2009
Will Congressional conservatives succeed in blocking far-left Obama nominee Dawn Johnsen from taking the post as head of the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel? So far, Harry Reid says that he simply doesn’t have the votes to confirm her. As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) moves to ease a backlog of executive [...]
AP: Six Names on Obama’s SCOTUS Short-List
13. May 2009
None of them especially appealing, several of them extremely troubling. It’s actually that there are at least six names on the list, including the following: Among those under consideration are California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia [...]
How Much of the Stimulus Has Been Spent?
13. May 2009
Remember when President Obama was writing editorials in the Washington Post about how a failure to pass his stimulus plan would result in a deeper recession from which we’d never recover? Well, despite mounting bad economic news, things appear to have gotten a little less urgent since then. Or, at least that’s how it would [...]
Surprise: April Foreclosure Rate Worst Than Expected
13. May 2009
Analysts figured that March’s numbers were bad enough that April’s couldn’t possibly be worse. Boy were they wrong. Foreclosures in April exceeded even March’s blistering pace with a record 342,000 homes receiving notices of default, auction notices or undergoing bank repossessions, according to a regular industry report. One of every 374 U.S. homes received a [...]
Morons: RNC To Rebrand Dems As Socialists
13. May 2009
Good idea. This way the term “socialism” becomes equated with regular Democratic stances and it loses its taboo with the American public. Shocking that these people are incapable of winning an election. A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it [...]
House Dems Kill PMA Probe…Again
13. May 2009
The most open and ethical Congress in history blocking a probe into the connection between donations from PMA and earmark appropriations to its clients? Seems about right. House Democrats on Tuesday stopped a Republican plan to force a campaign finance inquiry that likely would have investigated several influential Democrats. It was the eighth time since [...]
Obama: On Second Thought, Let’s Not Release Those “Torture” Pics
13. May 2009
As the Obama Administration has been discovering over these past few months, campaign rhetoric and classroom theories are one thing. Actually having to govern is something entirely different. You can find that demonstrated once again today, as the White House now says it will fight the release of photographs allegedly showing “torture”. US President Barack [...]
DiFi: You Know, We Have to Remember the Context in Which Waterboarding Occurred
13. May 2009
In her mad rush to defend the beleaguered Nancy Pelosi, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) reminded people that the context in which waterboarding occurred was a post-9/11 world in which America and its people were panicked. Which, er, is exactly the defense offered by Bush Administration officials for their actions. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, [...]
Soros Fined for Campaign Finance Law Violation
13. May 2009
How much was this repeat offender fined for failing to disclose a $350,000 donation through the Drug Policy Action Network that helped fund a ballot measure? A whopping $8,000. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that California’s campaign finance commission isn’t too interested in punishing the Democratic sugar daddy. Uber wealthy New York [...]
