Service Chiefs Oppose DADT Repeal Compromise
Turns out not everyone supports repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the near future. According to testimonials acquired by Think Progress, service chiefs have told Congress they oppose the compromise repeal being proposed. Among the opponents: Admiral Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations General James T. Conway, Commandant of the Marine Corps General Norton A. [...]
Joe “God Love Ya” Biden Making Blumenthal Jokes Now
26. May 2010
I assume the gaffe-master is making jokes because he’s confident that Blumenthal will win in Connecticut despite lying about his military service, but who knows. This is Joe Biden we’re talking about. He’s known to ask wheelchair-bound men to stand up and make racist jokes on camera. Political genius he is not. Vice President Joe [...]
Revealed: Joe Sestak’s Anti-Israeli History
26. May 2010
Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) is running for United States Senate from Pennsylvania. In fact, he recently defeated Senator Arlen Specter for the Democratic nomination. But what do we know of Sestak’s stance on Israel? Apparently very little. Until now. In 2007, Joe Sestak hosted a fundraiser for the anti-Israeli group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). [...]
National Debt Passes $13 Trillion Mark
26. May 2010
Here’s an historic occasion we could have done without: The total US national debt has surpassed $13 trillion, meaning each citizen owes $42,027 just to pay down the federal government’s debt. Or, if you only count taxpayers, that’s $117,985 per person. Other Craptastic Figures: Our national debt-to-GDP ratio is 90.3% and counting. We owe $1.9 [...]
Ex-Detroit Mayor (D) Gets Five Years In Prison
26. May 2010
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (D) is headed back to prison after violating his probation — a probation which stemmed from a conviction on a charge of lying under oath. The judge determined that Kilpatrick learned nothing from his original time in prison. The former mayor’s rehabilitation “clearly … has failed,” Wayne County Circuit Court [...]
Aww: Mexico Doesn’t Want National Guard Enforcing Immigration Law
26. May 2010
You can’t imagine how little I care about the opinion of the Mexican government on immigration at this point. This is the government that refuses to do anything about millions of its citizens pouring into our country illegally. In fact, the government actively helps its citizens sneak into the United States. The same government sends [...]
Thad McCotter Backs $165 Billion Union Bailout Bill
26. May 2010
I’ve long admired Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI). He’s smart, witty, has a fighting spirit, and is generally a true conservative. But Congressman McCotter has apparently decided to place politics above principle on the issue of bailing out union pension funds. If you need a primer on the bailout proposal, go here. Basically Congress is considering [...]
Of Course: Obama to Deploy National Guard to Border
25. May 2010
Does this make Barack Obama part of the Neo-Nazi cabal? I mean, Arizona only wants to make sure criminal suspects are in the country legally. Reichsfuhrer Obama wants to turn the poor undocumented migrants away at the border through the use of military power. Someone call the ACLU! The Obama administration plans to announce Tuesday [...]
Private Pay Shrinks, Government Handouts Soar
25. May 2010
Drudge calls this a redistribution victory for Obama, and I’d have to agree. This is the ultimate goal of modern liberalism: Shrinking the private sector and its benefits while increasing dependency on the welfare state. And before you know it, we’re Europe. Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in [...]
Dude: Carla Bruni Talking Sex In Different Languages
25. May 2010
The First Lady of France wasn’t so much talking sex as providing sex-related phrases in different languages. On a program called EuroTrash. Across from a gay guy in a tight, hot pink suit. In short, it’s traffic gold. This was obviously recorded some time ago, before she was married to Sarkozy. The French government is [...]
