Remember back in the old days, when we had an inquisitive media filled with “reporters” who would do whatever it took to get the real facts of a story, especially if they thought powerful officials might be lying to the American people? We\’ll probably get such an environment back, if a Republican becomes President in 2016. But ever since Barack Obama was elected...
We now have a poll – so far (with more to come I\’m sure) – which asks people who is to blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal. The result? 33% blame Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, 28% blame the local VA hospitals and 17% blame President Obama (23% express no opinion). Obviously this is not good for the Obama administration. And, for President...
James E. Causey is an editorial writer, columnist and blogger for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. And he is a man who, as I (and I hope you) do, anguishes over the senseless violence committed by thugs with guns – almost always illegally obtained guns. I don\’t usually post entire columns here, but this one is worth putting up. So, with apologies to Mr. Causey and the...
This is the easiest blog of the day. Because all I have to do is give you this link to Scott Whitlock\’s blog at newsbusters.org concerning the coverage network news has given the VA scandal versus the amount of coverage it gave to the possibility (never shown to be true) that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had some personal involvement in closing a couple of lanes on the George...
I can\’t say that Mark Cuban, internet gazillionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is my favorite guy. But I do admire the guts it took for him to say what he did about Donald Sterling…..because he is taking holy hell for it, even though, in my opinion, he is getting it right. Excerpted from Lisa Maria Garza\’s article for Reuters: OutspokenDallas Mavericks owner...
President Obama told us that ObamaCare would result in the average family saving $2,500 per year on insurance premiums. Anyone who still believes this lie is probably too far gone to reach, even with hard data. But for the rest of us, we have this, as excerpted from Elise Viebeckâ¨and Pierre de Dreuzy\’s article at thehill.com: Statesare nailing down dates to release 2015 premium...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Eliot Engel (D-NY) – the mail-it-in leftward liberal drone who occupies a completely safe congressional seat in New York\’s north Bronx and south Westchester (in 2012, it gave President Obama a 74% – 26% win over Mitt Romney). Here is what Mr. Engel has to say about the select committee on Benghazi and how it might affect Hillary...
The lead editorial in today\’s New York Times is about the enormous – and still growing – Veterans Affairs scandal. To the Times\’ credit, most of what is written makes plenty of sense. It is only when blame is to be assigned that the Times goes into ideological idiocy mode – a mode the Times editorial board is all too familiar with. Two passages...
Democrats – wisely, in my judgment – have decided not to boycott the select committee on Benghazi and are sending a full complement of five members. Even more wisely, they have decided against Alan Grayson being one of them. Every time this man opens his mouth he makes himself and his party look bad. The five members will be -Elijah Cummings – Maryland, who will be the...
Sometimes I just can\’t resist. The super-hard left web site, crooksandliars.com, has a post today by “heather”, one of its regular contributors, which attacks the “Fox and Friends” people for showing footage of Alan Grayson\’s famous “The Republican health plan is that you should die quickly” routine on the floor of the house, and noted –...
Maybe it was a bad reaction to the wax he was caught, on live TV, pulling from his ear and eating (click here for the video – preferably not with undigested food in your belly), but Joe Garcia, a U.S. Congressperson, has informed his supporters, in so many words, that “communism works” – and then angrily claimed it was absurd to think he believes...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Jeff Zucker, former head of MSNBC who now heads CNN – a station which is sinking faster than the Titanic did when it hit the iceberg. This is what he said to New York Times reporter Bill Carter on Monday night, about the impending Benghazi select committee hearings: “We\’renot going to be shamed into it by others who have political...
When will mainstream media start reporting what an absolute, complete, unadulterated flop Michelle Obama\’s crusade to force children to eat the kinds of food she deems acceptable has been? Michelle Malkin has certainly noticed. And her latest column, which discusses how completely this force-feeding has failed, is devastating. I urge you to use the above link and read every...
Suppose I told you that Bill and Hillary Clinton avidly supported a Democrat vying for a congressional nomination for a strongly Democratic district in the northeast – and that the candidate\’s tie to the Clintons was unique: her son is married to the Clintons\’ daughter, Chelsea. That would be a lock-nomination, right? Uh….no. Margorie Margolies (formerly...
This is going to look like some clumsily put-together satire. But, so help me, it is not. This is real, Excerpted from Jessica Chasmar\’s article at washingtontimes.com: Ina letter sent to parents, Principal Alexis Meyer and AssistantPrincipal Dan Seger of Archie R. Cole Junior High School in EastGreenwich (Rhode Island) claim that “members of the school...
