I literally cannot believe what I just read. Take a look and see if you can: From Elise Viebeck\’s article at thehill.com: TheWhite House said Wednesday it will not impose travelrestrictions or introduce new airport screenings to preventadditional cases of Ebola from entering the UnitedStates. Spokesman Josh Earnest said that currentanti-Ebola measures, which include...
In several previous blogs, I have pointed out that, by putting off any unilateral amnesty (or whatever he is going to call it) for illegal aliens until after the election, President Obama is going to anger Latino voters who favor such amnesty, and risks the possibility that they, along with pro-amnesty activists, will react by punishing his party at the polls in November. With this in mind...
Here is a factor that bears on the possibility of Republicans taking over the Senate this year, that I haven\’t seen from anyone else. So, me being me, I\’m jumping right in. Currently, the state of West Virginia has two Democrat Senators: One, a highly popular Senator who is retiring, is Jay Rockefeller. The Democrat vying for this seat is Natalie Tennant, and her...

Today\’s quote comes to us from Mr. Raynard Jackson, President & CEO of his own Washington DC-based public relations/government affairs firm. Here, from Mr. Jackson\’s latest article for the New Pittsburgh Courier, is his very interesting comparison between President Obama and former President Bush, on the use of deadly military force: “Accordingto the London...
Julia Pierson is now the former Director of the Secret Service. On paper, she has resigned. My guess (and it\’s only a guess)? She was told she had resigned. Actual resignation unnecessary. ====================================================== NOTE: I mentioned to my wife that this “resignation” probably was like that scene in The Godfather when Michael...
Laurie Garrett, the Pulitzer-prize winning ebola expert, told the dwindling but still existent viewers of Ronan Farrow\’s show on (where else?) MSNBC the steps that must be taken to prevent ebola from spreading in the United States. Here is part of what she had to say about ebola on Melissa Harris-Perry\’s MSNBC show just two months ago (but use the link I\’ve provided...
Greg Orman is the “independent” candidate to unseat Republican Pat Roberts and become Kansas\’s new U. S. Senator. He has just launched a new TV ad, which you can see by clicking here. Part of its dialogue is as follows: “Ifyou listen to Pat Roberts and his Washington buddies, they\’ll tellyou that President Obama and Harry Reid are the reason...
Apropos of nothing political…. ….this picture might even be real. Regardless of whether it is or it isn\’t, I have to admit I laughed when I saw it. As black humor goes, it\’s right up at the top of the food chain: Uh, Jerry…about those Halloween decorations you got that great sale price on…. Ok, back to politics. Where good legislation and...
You can\’t say the bombing of ISIS targets has had no success. It has proven two facts, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to anyone who did not know them already: 1) when you bomb an enemy with no air force you can hit anything you want at any time you want to hit it, but 2) when an enemy has boots on the ground and you don\’t, all the bombing in the world will...
Let\’s start with an easy one: Do you think this information – excerpted from Stephanie Armour\’s article at the Wall Street Journal – is newsworthy? Hundredsof thousands of Americans face a Tuesday deadline to verify theirincome and are at risk of losing or having to pay back their federalhealth-insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Theneed for...
Julia Pierson is the person in charge of a secret service that allowed two different people who had no business anywhere near the White House to get inside – not a few feet beyond the fence, not on the lawn, but IN THE WHITE HOUSE. One of them ran through the green room, among other places, before being stopped. Another actually rode in an elevator with the President. I am no...
As regular readers may recall, about two months ago I blogged about being “unfriended” on facebook by former Major League baseball player, then announcer, now independent movie producer Billy Sample. You would need a pretty good memory to do so, because I never mentioned him again afterwards. Losing a facebook friend is not exactly a seminal experience in my life. The...

Today\’s quote comes to us from Marie Harf, the Obama spokesperson whose most recognizable quality is that she talks to us with a sing-song quality reminiscent of a 10th grader reciting her oral mid-term exam. Here is how she tried to explain away President Obama\’s gross negligence regarding the intelligence information he ignored for all this time, and his lamer-than-lame...
