Maffei (D-NY) Flip-Flops On Senate Legislation
16. March 2010
Where does Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY) stand on the Senate version of government-run health care? Depends on the day. On March 8, 2010, Maffei told his constituents that he opposed the legislation, which would gut Medicare, places bureaucrats between patients and doctors, and provides federal funding for abortion.

American Forces Not Flying Flag in Haiti
16. March 2010
It’s not that flying the flag has been explicitly opposed by the Haitian government or anything. In fact, many other countries with troops on the ground are flying their countries’ flags. France, Britain, and even Croatia are showing their colors. But the United States, which has committed more troops than any other single country? No [...]

The New York Daily News, generally a left-wing publication, is joining today with fellow left-wing publication The Seattle Times in calling for Democrats in the White House and Congress to abandon their current push for government-run health care.

16. March 2010
Give Russians this: They certainly know how to dig faster when they’re already in a hole. The country went the polls in regional elections on Monday, and completed results showed gains for opposing parties. The results weakened the ruling United Russia party’s position.

New Pelosi Strategy: Pass ObamaCare Without Voting
16. March 2010
She’s backing the quite obviously unconstitutional “Slaughter Solution“, which would pass legislation without the House of Representatives actually voting for or against it. Yes, the Speaker of the House is now actually seeking to do away with that pesky voting process. After laying the groundwork for a decisive vote this week on the Senate’s health-care [...]
Stupid: US Envoy Cancels Israel Trip
16. March 2010
The Obama Administration continues its assault on the State of Israel this morning as George Mitchell, special envoy to the Middle East, announced his trip to the country would be “delayed”.
