Ninety-three American cities reported unemployment rates higher than 10% during the month of April, data released by the Labor Department on Wednesday shows. That’s approximately 13 times higher than the number of cities that claimed the same in April 2008. You’ll recall that the national unemployment rate is 8.9% and rising. Additionally, just 117 cities [...]

Apparently it’s not just Hugo Chavez who can see where Barack Obama and his minions in Congress are bringing this country. Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, links his country’s future with its socialized health care to President Barack Obama’s public health care program. Many conservative groups have pointed to Canada’s universal [...]

Behold, a South American socialist dictator marveling at how far-left our American president has become. Apparently even Fidel and Hugo can’t believe how quick our dissent into socialism is coming along. During one of Chavez’s customary lectures on the “curse” of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM’s bankruptcy [...]

Sotomayer Gave Almost Identical “Wise Latina” Answer in 1994, Too

Almost identical. Why would that be relevant? Because the White House spin — one that Sotomayer herself has picked up on — has been that the Supreme Court nominee merely misspoke in 2001. Apparently she merely misspoke while giving a nearly-identical answer 7 years earlier, too. Here’s what she said in the 1994 speech: “Justice [...]

So little time, so much fail. Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam. And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of [...]

Gillibrand to Truthers: I’d Support a New 9/11 Investigation

Even if she’s unaware that they’re internet 9/11 Truthers, shouldn’t she have walked the other way when they began to talk about explosives in World Trade Center rubble? She wants votes so badly that she’ll try to appease, as Allahpundit calls them, modern-day Holocaust deniers? As a New York Senator? Pathetic. To his credit, President [...]

Biden: Some Stimulus Money Being Wasted, People Being Scammed

2. June 2009

0 Comments

The thing about Biden isn’t that he’s stupid. It’s that he personally lacks any political sense. He doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut for his own political benefit. It’s not intentional honesty as some apologists wish to claim; he’s not making a conscious effort at transparency. No, he’d keep quiet if he knew [...]
