Video: Obama Promised Eight Times to Broadcast Negotiations
Back from when he was promising Hope’N’Change, promising to bring a new era of transparency and populism to Washington. Basically, back when he was saying anything to get elected — including repeatedly making promises he never intended to keep. The video shows him talking bullshit about taking input from the American public, making sure everyone [...]
Wow: Chris Dodd to Announce Retirement
6. January 2010
Make that three major Democratic retirements in the past 24 hours. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Governor Bill Ritter (D-CO), and now Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT). The ship is sinking and the rats are jumping. I’d say this makes him more likely to vote for socialized health care now, but he was on board with the [...]
AP: CO Governor Bill Ritter To Retire
5. January 2010
As several political journalists and commentators are saying on Twitter, Democratic politicians are dropping like flies. Within the last few hours alone we’ve had a governor and senator announce retirement. The governor? Colorado’s Bill Ritter, who was up for re-election this fall. Apparently he wasn’t looking forward to delivering a concession speech on election night. [...]
Breaking: Dorgan Won’t Seek Re-election
5. January 2010
This is huge. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Republicans are likely to pick up his seat come November. The anti-incumbent fervor in the country was already strong and Dorgan was in danger, but the benefit that comes with being a multi-term senator may’ve saved him. Now Democrats will have to put forth a newbie with no incumbency [...]
Pelosi Now Taking Shots at Obama
5. January 2010
Rush Limbaugh criticizes a Republican politician and the left-wing, er mainstream, media cries “civil war!”. The highest ranking Democrat in Congress takes shots at the Democratic president of the United States and there’s almost ubiquitous silence. “All is well! Nothing to see here! Everybody’s happy!” Referring to one of Obama’s campaign pledges, a reporter asked [...]
Michael Yon Arrested by Border Guards in Seattle
5. January 2010
No word on exactly who put him in handcuffs, but Yon writes that port authority later came and “rescued me from the border bullies”. Why was he being arrested in the first place? Because he peacefully, by the admission of the arresting officers, refused to give up information on his personal income. Apparently he didn’t [...]
In Praise of the Undiebomber’s Father
5. January 2010
I think Jay Nordlinger is taking the right path by praising Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the father of the attempted Christmas day airline bomber (or undiebomber). This is a man who not only came to the realization that his own son had become a radical, but decided to report him to American authorities. We could have [...]
Nigeria: New TSA Procedures Are Discriminatory
4. January 2010
Somehow, I’m okay discriminating against countries spawning jihadists by the dozen. “It is unfair to include Nigeria on the US list for tighter screening because Nigerians do not have terrorist tendencies,” Akunyili told journalists. “It is unfair to discriminate against over 150 million people because of the behaviour of one person,” said the minister… “Abdulmutallab’s [...]
Mayo Clinic Facility: No More Medicare Patients
4. January 2010
A glimpse into the future. In the name of insuring millions of illegal aliens and the few who actually do need help, we’re going to deny access to health care for America’s senior citizens. We’re going to harm our own seniors to pass government-run health care. The source is also important. Barack Obama himself held [...]
Taxpayer-Funded NPR Insults Just About Every Non-Liberal
4. January 2010
Concerned about massive expansions of the federal government that would come through Congressional healthcare reform legislation? Don’t want bureaucrats coming between you and your doctor? Oppose the elimination of the private sector through the implementation of a government-run system? Well, congratulations. The notoriously left-wing NPR just spent your tax dollars to insult you through animated [...]
