Just 41,000 Private Sector Jobs Added in May
At first glance, a drop in unemployment to 9.7% and the “creation” of 431,000 during the month of May looks like excellent economic news. You’d expect the markets to rally in response and the president to immediately take credit for pulling us out of recession. So then why is the Dow Jones down more than [...]
Surprise: Documents Show Kagan To Be Liberal Ideologue
3. June 2010
I know, I know; you’re shocked that Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee is a zealous doctrinaire liberal. Lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land and essentially guaranteed confirmation, folks. On abortion, Kagan wrote a memo in a case involving a prisoner who wanted the state to pay for her to have the procedure. [...]
The Jihad Flotilla Music Video: We Con The World
3. June 2010
Best parody I’ve seen in quite some time, and yet the message is important. The jihadists in the Gaza flotilla set out with the intention of provoking the Israelis into a public relations crisis. When the Israelis didn’t respond in violence, the activists decided to beat and even shoot the IDF commandos, armed with only [...]
Report: WH Pressuring Israel to End Blockade
3. June 2010
We touched on this yesterday, but there’s more information this afternoon. The move is absolutely idiotic. For starters, the blockade is effective and necessary for the security of Israel, which is surrounded by nations seeking its unconditional destruction. These countries aren’t driven by hatred for the blockade but by the very existence of Jews in [...]
Catholic Bishop Stabbed to Death in Peace-Loving Turkey
3. June 2010
Granted, you can’t blame all acts of violence on the country as an entirety, but there’s actually a history of violent attacks against non-Muslims in Turkey. You know, the same Turkey that’s busy funding jihad flotillas while condemning Israel for responding to attempts by the flotillas to break its security blockade. (CNN) — A Catholic [...]
Obama Admin Reverses Course, Goes After Israel
2. June 2010
As the Republican Jewish Coalition says, the Biden interlude was nice while it lasted. Now the “we’re standing with Israel” line seems to have changed to “we’re joining nations like Turkey in condemning Israel”. But another American official said this evening that the U.S. is in fact pushing on two fronts. The Obama Administration is, [...]
Romanoff Confirms: White House Offered Three Jobs
2. June 2010
Supposedly details are supposed to follow on Politico. But for now, Romanoff (background here if needed) has confirmed that the White House came forward with three(!) job offers in September 2009, intending to lure him out of the Democratic primary. Update: Oh my. Romanoff totally dimes out WH aid Messina as the Godfather of the [...]
Recommended Reading: “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One”
2. June 2010
Whether you love him or hate him, no one can deny the impact Rush Limbaugh has had on modern American politics. With tens of millions of regular listeners, El Rushbo (as he’s known to admirers) is a man capable of getting the president of the United States to respond directly to his criticism. That’s power. [...]
Breaking: White House Talked Jobs With Romanoff, Too
2. June 2010
The culture of corruption continues. The Associated Press reports that the White House talked about giving yet another Democratic primary challenger a federal job in exchange for dropping his bid to oust an incumbent fellow party member. This time the dangling of a job offer was sent to Colorado, addressed to former Colorado House Speaker [...]
Biden Launches Defense of Israeli Actions
2. June 2010
It’s refreshing to see someone in the Obama Administration actually defend Israel after spending the last year+ insulting and bucking the Jewish state and its government. Whether the defense is being launched because of actual convictions of the administration or because not defending Israel would be politically suicidal isn’t clear. Either way, it’s a defense. [...]
