Victory: US Combat Mission In Iraq Ends
A couple of things. First of all, we won. The insurgents were beaten back, democracy was established, and the future is brighter than ever before for the Iraq people. It was a long, hard slog and there were times when the outcome was questionable. But in the end, we triumphed. Second, we owe a debt [...]
Former DNC Chief Howard Dean: Move The Mosque
18. August 2010
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean believes the Ground Zero mosque should be moved. Rejecting the far-left’s argument that opposing the mosque means attacking the First Amendment, Dean called for the Cordoba House to be moved elsewhere during an appearance on WABC. I’ve included a rough transcript below: Dean: I gotta believe that there [...]

Financial prospects for Main Street just keep getting worse. CNBC reports that bankruptcy filings rose by nine percent during the second quarter of 2010 — the highest quarterly level in a half-decade.

18. August 2010
There’s no reprieve in the area of public approval for Barack Obama today. According to the latest Gallup tracking poll, just 41% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president. A whopping 52% of the public disapprove of his job performance.
Federal Judge: No Freedom For Conyers During Appeal
18. August 2010
Disgraced Detroit City Council member Monica Conyers, the wife of Representative John Conyers (D-Mich), must report to prison on September 10 to begin serving her three-year sentence for corruption. A federal judge has ruled that Conyers, who accepted bribes in exchange for major city contracts, will not be allowed to remain free while her case [...]
Frank: Obama Was “Dumb” To Predict Unemployment Below 8%
18. August 2010
Interesting, considering that many on the left now want to insist that Barack Obama never actually promised that unemployment would remain below 8% thanks to the stimulus legislation. One supposedly non-partisan fact-checking website even covered for Obama by ignoring quote after quote in order to attack George Will for bringing up the promise. And now [...]
Amid Controversy, Dr. Laura Calls It Quits
18. August 2010
I’ve never been a fan of Laura Schlessinger, or Dr. Laura as she’s known, but I’ve never particularly disliked her. She has just kind of been there, a name I’d hear on occasion in connection with social commentary. Anyway, the longtime radio host apparently used the n-word repeatedly last week and, obviously, stirred up controversy. [...]
Pelosi: Let’s Investigate Ground Zero Mosque…Opponents
18. August 2010
In case you didn’t know why being connected to Nancy Pelosi is toxic this year, here’s your answer. Madame Speaker is so outside the mainstream of America that simply being mentioned in the same sentence, unless it’s a discussion on how you stood up against her policies, can help destroy your career in Anytown, USA. [...]
GZ mosque team: Hey, sorry for insulting Jews…and the Amish…and decent people everywhere
17. August 2010
Apparently the last spokesman let the mask slip a little too much by openly mocking non-Muslims. So a “new team” is being introduced to better sell the victory monument, er, cultural center to the general public. Update: We are in the process of introducing a new team and are issuing apologies for any prior tweets [...]
Gillibrand: I Support The Ground Zero Mosque
17. August 2010
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) won’t allow the feelings of 9/11 victim families or the interests of her constituents to get in the way of appearing to be politically correct. The junior New York senator has announced her support for the 13-story mosque to be constructed at Ground Zero. Rochester, N.Y. – Senator Kirsten Gillibrand made [...]
