JONAH GOLDBERG EXPLAINS “THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY”

National Review\’s Jonah Goldberg has written an excellent commentary, titled “The Empty Threat of Future Judgment”, which talks about just how feckless Barack Obama\’s foreign policy actions have been; just how laughable they are to the rest of the world. You can read it all by using the above link – and I hope you do.  But let me give you a taste below...

BYE BYE BILLIKENS

My (sort of) beloved Saint Louis Billikens are out of the NCAA basketball tournament. They had the misfortune of drawing last year\’s champions, Louisville, in the second round.  And, to their credit, kept up with them well into the second half, actually taking the lead by two points with about 14 minutes to go. But then Louisville did them in.  Final score:  Louisville 66...

THE ILLINOIS TAX HIKE: SUBTRACTION BY ADDITION?

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people\’s money.”:  Margaret Thatcher Illinois is a fiscal mess.  It owes almost 6 billion dollars in unpaid debt.  People who do business with the state are waiting for months to get payment.  And its most well-to-do citizens are already taxed to the hilt. So what is the Democrat...

THE UNION-SHOP PRESIDENCY

This blog is for anyone who has not yet figured out that the Obama administration is owned and operated by the big unions (which, given the past five years, would – I hope – be relatively few, but you never know). Excerpted from Patrick Howley\’s article at dailycaller.com: Unionrepresentatives from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)are now...

CELEBRATING VOTER FRAUD

Suppose, just suppose, that a political party loudly proclaimed its opposition to a voter ID requirement on the grounds that there was no evidence of voter fraud…..but then overtly celebrated someone who was convicted of perpetrating voter fraud.  Would you have a problem with that party\’s credibility on the issue? Melowese Richardson was convicted of voter fraud – in...

OBAMACARE PENALTY TAX: WHITE HOUSE IGNORANCE – AND MEDIA COMPLICITY (AS USUAL)

“Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not \’getting covered\’… I\’M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX.” What you just read is a tweet, from Matt Drudge, who decided to opt out of ObamaCare and pay the prescribed tax penalty for doing so… …which created a huge firestorm, from the Obama White House and some of its Accomplice Media, none of whom have any idea...

HAS WRECKAGE FROM FLIGHT #370 BEEN FOUND?

For the past several days I have avoided talking about Malaysia flight #370, as one “breaking news” story after another goes bye-bye. But the latest one – which is China (a country I assume has sophisticated equipment for this kind of thing) informing the world that it has found a large item (about 45\’ by 75\’) of indeterminate material, floating in the Indian...

THE WASHINGTON POST\’S PHONY ATTACK ON THE KOCH BROTHERS

What if I told you that a major, very well respected newspaper – say, the Washington Post – published a hit piece on the Koch brothers – thus warming the hearts of Democrats and leftists (often one and the same) everywhere…..but that the story was an easily checkable fraud, written by the wife of a left wing operative, and using as its basis a far-left web site\’s...

GO BILLIKENS GO

Apropos of nothing political. This is the 50th anniversary of my one and only year as a student at Saint Louis University.  And I still find myself rooting for its basketball team (the year I was there we had, if I remember correctly, a 13 – 12 record in b-ball….but we won the NCAA soccer championship!!). Congratulations to the Billikens on their comeback victory over North...

THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE\’S “LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT” AWARD

Yesterday the American Jewish Congress (AJC) bestowed its Lifetime Achievement Award on Hillary Clinton. WHAT achievement?  WHAT has she done in her lifetime, aside from being appointed and elected to a series of positions which she has accomplished nothing in – that and amassing a museum-load of BS awards like this one? Allow me to post, as I have before but apparently need to again...
