I hope New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is into continuing education. Because, just yesterday, he got a lesson in political sandbagging from his next-door neighbor, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. -On Friday, Governors Christie and Cuomo issued a joint statement that all doctors/other health care professionals who treated ebola patients in West Africa, and anyone else who...
Yesterday I logged logged about a remarkable comment Hillary Clinton made while campaigning in Massachusetts for a Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley. At that time, Ms. Clinton informed her cheering audience “Don\’t let anybody, don\’t let anybody, tell you that, uh, y\’know, it\’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.” Yes, you read that...
Try and find a Governor who is more hated by public sector unions than Scott Walker. I dare you. Remember those out-of-control “protests” against him – which were, in reality, a succession of mini-riots the police (also public sector union members) seemed to be pretty much ok with? Remember the ugly, sick rhetoric? Remember the recall election –...
I try not to blog too often about the gaffes, and lies, of Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS). It\’s too easy. Bit this one I can\’t let go. Earlier this week, while being interviewed by (Democrat-friendly) Mark Halperin of Bloomberg News and Morning Joe, DWS made the astonishing claim that President Obama was out there campaigning for Democrats in “competitive...
Sharyl Attkisson was, for some 20 years, an investigative reporter at CBS. But Ms. Attkisson was a problem to the CBS people…because, as a professional journalist, she was committed to reporting what her investigations uncovered rather than adjusting those stories to please the partisans who run the show there. So, over a relatively short period of time, Ms. Attkisson was...
Apropos of nothing political… The best pizza restaurant in Monmouth County, if you\’re asking me, is Luigi\’s in Lincroft. (Luigi\’s Famous Pizza, to be exact). The food is delicious – especially the pizza. The portions are very large, the prices are very moderate, and the wait staff is excellent. What more could you want? Just thought I\’d...
Here are the first three paragraphs of a terribly sad story about the Michael Brown/Darren Wilson investigation, written by the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch\’s Jessica Bock: TheFerguson-Florissant and Clayton school districts sent letters toparents this week with reminders of emergency procedures shouldclasses be canceled, delayed or dismissed early. Schoolstypically send reminders...
New York City Police Chief Bill Bratton, talking about the attack on four police officers by a hatchet-wielding “man” whose facebook page was loaded with radical Islamic material: “There\’s nothing we know at this time that would indicate that [Islamic terrorism] is the case. That\’s what the investigation will attempt to determine.” New York City Police...
Remember the Fast & Furious scandal? It is understandable if the memory grows hazy, given that Fast & Furious is one of so many scandals and failures of this impossibly incompetent, inept, dishonest administration which have been buried by most mainstream media, that it is hard to keep them top-of-mind. But I hope you remember it today. Because years-old information...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Hillary Clinton – who is in a lifelong competition with John Kerry to see who can spend the most time in elective and appointive office without the fewest accomplishments (they\’re still in a tie). Speaking at an enthusiastic rally for Martha Coakley – a Democrat who, having lost her senate race to Republican Scott Brown four years...
We all know that Republicans are where all those rich guys are. You know, the Koch Brothers and all those others that Democrats endlessly invoke when describing the terrible funding disadvantage they are laboring under. Or do we? Excerpted from Fred Barnes\’ highly illuminating article at weeklystandard.com: The Democratic edge inspending, especially in key Senate races...
This will be an easy blog to write…because all I\’m doing is pulling two paragraphs from an article. First the paragraphs, then the source: How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that theywere registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Ourbest guess, based upon...
You\’re not going to believe this. In an effort to attract women – and by women, I mean young, unmarried and/or Black women, because married White women mostly vote Republican – the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has called upon…. …wait. Tell you what. First let me show you her pitch, then I\’ll tell you who it...
I am reasonably certain you are aware that there was a fight earlier this month involving members of Sarah Palin\’s family. The initial reports – and, even now, some accounts – make it seem as though the Palins were fighting each other. In fact that was not so. Based on Bristol Palin\’s (exceedingly profane) contemporaneous description of...
Yesterday, in Jamaica, Queens, a “man ” named zale thompson ran at four cops with a hatchet. He managed to critically injure one of them with a blow to the head and slice a second cop\’s arm, before he was shot dead. thompson\’s facebook page had a passage from the Koran,. a picture of an armed jihadist, and called for violent revolution in the United...
