MSNBC Host: Yeah, Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme
It’s Chris Matthews, one of Rick Perry’s biggest critics and supporters of FDR’s New Deal policies. And he’s correct. As Matthews notes, Social Security was established at a time when someone who was 65 was lucky to live to that age and certainly couldn’t be expected to work. That’s no longer the case. Now being [...]
Many Afghans Completely Ignorant About 9/11 Attacks
9. September 2011
The Wall Street Journal reports: KABUL—The Sept. 11 attacks that triggered the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan also uprooted 16-year-old Abdul Ghattar from his village in war-torn Helmand province, bringing him to a desolate refugee camp on the edge of Kabul. Yet Mr. Ghattar stared blankly when asked whether he knew about al Qaeda’s strike on [...]
Jack Welch: Obama’s Speech Ignores Reality
8. September 2011
Jack Welch, renowned businessman and former chairman and CEO of General Electric, took to Twitter to review Barack Obama’s latest “jobs” speech. His conclusion? It ignores reality. President’s speech ignores barriers to innovative startups. Regulations and tax reforms must be attacked now. (Note: I cleaned it up for the Twitter-to-Blog transition. Content remains the same.)
Jackie Kennedy on MLK: “That Man’s Terrible”
8. September 2011
The thoughts of liberal heroes behind closed doors. “I just can’t see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man’s terrible,” Mrs. Kennedy said, as part of an oral history series of interviews released this month. Why did she think that? Apparently (I stress apparently) FBI surveillance revealed King tried to [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters yesterday that there are no credible threats against the United States in the run-up to the 9/11 anniversary. “We don’t have any credible, specific allegations of activity or threats of any kind of activity on September 11,” Holder told reporters. “We are being vigilant with regard to what is [...]
It’s Come to This: Obama Touts Support of Liberal, Soros-Funded Think Tank
8. September 2011
One of the 38 taxpayer-funded emails sent by the White House to reporters this evening, touting almost exclusively Democratic support for Obama’s unfunded $450 billion “jobs” bill. It’s the Center for American Progress (CPA), producers of the ThinkProgress blog. You know, the far-left, Soros-funded think tank that only disagrees with Obama when he’s not far-left [...]
Obama Demands Congress Pass Bill White House Admits Doesn’t Exist
8. September 2011
This evening, Barack Obama repeatedly and strongly demanded Congress pass his unfunded $450 billion “jobs” bill right away and without hesitation. His spinners repeated as much tonight following the speech. Okay, so let’s pass it right away. What’s that? The bill doesn’t yet exist? Oh, okay then. Yeah, see, Obama adviser Valerie Jarret says the [...]
DCCC Panicking in Weiner’s Old District
8. September 2011
The DCCC is preparing to spend $500,000 in the deep blue (at least by national standards) district, which was previously held by now-disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner (D). But get this, the ad they were planning to run had to be pulled. Why? Because it involved a jet (supposed to be the Republican corporate jet) flying [...]
JFK Feared a Lyndon Johnson Presidency
8. September 2011
Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy recorded oral history interviews in 1964 in which she revealed her husband feared a Lyndon Johnson presidency, ABC News reports. President John F. Kennedy was so “worried for the country” about the prospect that Vice President Lyndon Johnson might succeed him as president that he’d begun having private conversations about [...]
AP Analysis: Obama’s Dreaming, Not Serious
8. September 2011
When a liberal president has lost the Associated Press… WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions. It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if [...]
