The disapproval for President Obama’s actions and decisions continues to grow, seemingly on a daily basis. The newest Rasmussen Reports poll shows a clear disconnect between the American voters and Obama and the liberal elites. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from [...]
As most have probably read, Rush Limbaugh was taken to a Hawaii hospital with chest pains earlier today. All of today’s conservatives owe a debt of gratitude to Rush. While we might not always agree 100% with his positions, and we might not always agree with the way he presents them, we have to agree [...]
Should President Obama still be on vacation following an attempted terrorist attack on the US? That’s the question a lot of Americans are asking. The President has alluded to being ‘tired’ in recent interviews, and his friends and advisers have talked about the same. Stating that he is sleeping less than President Bush (it always [...]
President Obama stood in front of the cameras again today, this time in full-blown damage control mode. He was trying to clean up the mess made by his press secretary, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and the reaction to his own seeming ‘disinterest’ of the ‘alleged’ attempt by a terrorist to blow up a US [...]
Thanks as always to Ed Morrissey of Hot Air for bringing issues like this to the forefront. While Massachusettes is a traditionally Democratic state, the special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s spot is huge. If somehow a Republican could win, then the Democrats would no longer have a filibuster-proof majority (both independents typically vote with [...]
By now, most people are familiar with the various ‘favors’ that Harry Reid built into his managers amendment ‘compromise agreement’. Nebraska, Vermont, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Florida and other states all got sweetheart deals in exchange for votes. Now it would seem that a Senator, probably with ties to large construction companies or construction worker’s unions, had [...]
Apparently someone forgot to copy Al Qaeda on the White House memo declaring that the war on terror was over. The Al Qaeda trained terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet on Christmas day, has told agents questioning him that “he was one of many bombers being groomed by [...]
We all remember the events that led up to the now famous beer summit this summer. While fully admitting that he didn’t have all the facts, President Obama lashed out at the Cambridge police department in defense of his old friend, Professor Henry Gates: “Now, I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing [...]
This is just hitting the wires. The AP is reporting that Obama left his golf outing abruptly for ‘personal matter’ and that an ambulance sped to first family’s vacation residence. More to follow… Update: What is being reported is that the child of one of Obama’s friends was hurt (bumped head) while taking a surfing [...]
On Christmas, a Nigerian man attempted to blow up a Delta/Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Shortly before landing, a man first went to the bathroom, then returned to his seat and covered himself with a blanket. Shortly after that, other passengers heard a pop and saw smoke. The passengers and crew then subdued [...]
Yet another former supporter of Obamacare is now criticizing it. York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had been referred to by the White House as a pro-healthcare reform advocate. Now, Bloomberg is raising concerns about the bill and the process. Bloomberg, like many Mayors and Governors around the country, has major concerns about what Harry Reid’s [...]
In another example of ‘they are so biased, they can’t see their bias’, Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page lashed out at those involved in the Tea Party movement by calling them teabaggers and saying they deserved the name. As Page knows, ‘teabagger’ is a derogatory, sexually explicit term that MSNBC has promoted as the term [...]
Reports continue to come out indicating that Iran is closer than many thought to having working nuclear weapons. Ed Morrissey of Hot Air reports: “As if dozens of jihadis wearing suicide underwear wasn’t enough of a problem for the US and the world, the Israelis remind us today of an even bigger threat about to [...]
It’s a daunting challenge. The Republicans would need to gain 40 seats in the house to achieve a one seat majority. Both the Republicans and Democrats have about a dozen members that have announced that they will be retiring. Most of the Republicans are in traditionally Republican districts and considered safe, while the Democratic seats [...]
It seems that cap and trade legislation is crucial to the survival of the planet — just not in an election year. Democrats in congress are speaking out and sending a message to President Obama and Harry Reid that attempting to pass cap and trade legislation in an election year wouldn’t be smart. It leads [...]
A sight we are seeing more and more is the far left lashing out at President Obama. Earlier in the month we reported on how the Huffington Post was referring to the demoralized Democratic base and how President Obama was “destroying a political base.” Multiple polls have shown the President is losing the middle and [...]
If there was any doubt, President Obama’s first year in office has proven that there is a big difference between the man and his campaign promises. Fiscal responsibility, earmark reform, health care debate televised on C-SPAN, reaching across the aisle, etc., etc., etc. The list of broken promises is long and growing. As we’ve documented [...]
A topic I have been talking about is the so called Blue Dog, or conservative, Democrats. These are Democrats that come out of districts and states that typically vote Republican for president, and where the voter’s values are typically aligned with the Republican Party. In many of these areas, voting Democrat is an old tradition, [...]
This is a topic we will likely be reading about for some time to come. The question is whether or not the federal government has the right to force all Americans to buy health insurance and penalize them if they choose not to do so. As is often the case, the argument in favor of [...]
In a curious move, Obama has signed an executive order granting Interpol agents immunity from US laws. This means that Interpol agents won’t have the same constraints and limitations, requirements to follow federal laws, that FBI agents and police officers in the US operate under. This essentially gives Interpol agents, who are foreign police officers [...]
