New NASA Data Undermines Global Warming Claims
Newly-released data from NASA undermines arguments made by alarmists about the speed at which Earth is warming, it has been revealed. James Taylor, reporting for Forbes: NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, [...]
House Republican Hits Back at McCain
28. July 2011
Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Ill) last night responded to Senator John McCain’s (R-AZ) attack on conservatives for daring to stand firm on fiscal conservatism. Walsh called McCain’s attack — which involved calling conservatives “hobbits” — “bizarro” and “insulting”. Walsh also noted that McCain has been in Washington since 1983 and helped preside over the creation of [...]
McCain Defends Attack on Conservatives
28. July 2011
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is defending his juvenile attack on conservatives, telling Sean Hannity that his remarks were meant to slam conservatives for opposing the latest Republican sell-out plan. Hannity came out swinging against McCain, who has been tempered in his criticism of Barack Obama and yet managed to insult conservatives by calling them “hobbits” [...]
Sharron Angle Slams McCain on Debt Deal
28. July 2011
I’m no Sharron Angle fan, but the guy deserves it just for comparing conservatives to “hobbits” for opposing weak-ass debt deals. He also lectured Republican on political strategy. Lectures on political strategy from the guy who refused to use Jeremiah Wright against Barack Obama in 2008. That’s just what we need. A few Tweets from [...]
Schumer: Boehner’s Plan “On Life Support”
28. July 2011
During a press conference on Capitol Hill yesterday, top ranking Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York offered this assessment of Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) debt ceiling plan: The speaker’s plan is on life support, and it’s time for him to pull the plug. We need to move on to other plans that actually have [...]
Wu Exhibited Erratic Behavior Throughout Last Year
28. July 2011
I wouldn’t be covering this except for the fact that Congressman David Wu (D-OR) hasn’t actually resigned as of yet and could still change his mind. It turns out the Oregon Democrat exhibited erratic behavior beyond unwanted sexual advances and dressing like a tiger. Even his political allies were concerned. A top donor who had [...]
Fine: Pass the Boehner Resolution
28. July 2011
With the U.S. Senate promising to block John Boehner’s weak-ass plan, I’ve come to grudgingly semi-support the House passing the legislation. We can’t risk taking the blame for a downgrade, and we have to demonstrate that it’s Democrats who are being obstructionists — not us. But that having been said, I’m not going to pretend [...]
Video: The Worst Call in Baseball History?
27. July 2011
Quite possibly. The runner was out by a mile. And yet the umpire, apparently too tired to continue the 19-inning game, called him safe at home plate. That was the run needed for the Braves to win and the game ended. How crappy of a call was this? Allahpundit notes sports commentators are wondering if [...]
Boehner Plan Lacks House Votes, Won’t Pass Senate
27. July 2011
First, the House: Rich Lowry of National Review is hearing that John Boehner’s weak-ass debt plan currently lacks the votes to pass. While Boehner’s cronies are reportedly more optimistic than yesterday, the vote wouldn’t go his way as of now. More important, though, is the Senate Let’s say myself and my fellow conservatives gave up [...]
Senate Democrats Vow to Block Debt Ceiling Deal
27. July 2011
All 53 Senate Democrats have signed a letter to pledging to block the House’s debt ceiling plan, which would raise the ceiling to prevent default while also cutting small parts of the federal budget. With all Democrats in the chamber pledging to vote against the plan, failure is guaranteed. Sixty votes are needed to clear [...]
