Earlier this week, word came out that Tony Rezko, Obama’s good friend who helped him acquire his Chicago mansion, got another prison sentence handed down. This sentence was for insider trading with his other buddy (and Obama’s), Rod Blagojevich, and his sentence is for 10 1/2 years. Huh. Isn’t this interesting that two men very [...]

It is that time of year again, when we gather with our friends and family to celebrate the harvest, the coming together of peoples from different lands in unity, to acknowledge the gifts of the earth’s abundance, and to give their thanks for these treasures of the earth. Yes, this time of year brings to [...]

Obama is doing what he likes to do best – campaign. But he is doing it under the auspices of the People’s Business. Uh huh. I suppose if one completely ignored the blatantly partisan nature of his campaign, uh, I mean POLICY speeches, like the recent one in New Hampshire, one could buy that. The [...]

Well, this is a mighty interesting story, though I don’t reckon you’ll be seeing it on MSNBC. A former Democratic Representative, Artur Davis, fromo Alabama, admits the real reason the Democrats so oppose Voter ID. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Davis acknowledges the rampant voter fraud being perpetrated by Democratic Party bosses. Now, [...]

Now THERE is a headline I can get behind, from the National Journal. Yes, a variety of sources are reporting today that Democratic pollsters are a bit concerned about Obama’s re-election campaign, and what would happen should he get (NOOOO!) a second term. I gotta tell you, this is a welcome headline indeed. And just [...]

Some mighty interesting stories making the rounds today. As many of us expected, the Supercommittee has failed. But it’s official now. Great. Well done, folks. Way to put party before country. Or, more to the point, way to put a campaign slogan for Obama before the country – it’s all those evil Republicans’ fault.

There are some interesting stories about today. Well, some are downright disconcerting, like the Super Committee being on the verge of a Super Fail. Seriously, people – this is the nation’s well-being at heart. Forget party already, and figure out something on which you all can agree. Good grief. Or like this one: the OWS [...]

Okay, now this is one for the books. I hope you aren’t drinking anything right this minute, for more reasons than one. Why? Because in their infinite wisdom, the European Union has declared – are you ready for this? That WATER does NOT rehydrate you. Yes, you read that right. Water, which makes up approximately [...]

Evidently, PETA has managed to do SO Much on behalf of animals, that they are now targeting the names of towns. I am not making this up, I swear. Yes, PETA, in its infinite wisdom, has requested that Turkey, Texas, change its name to Tofurky, Texas. No, seriously. For real: As Thanksgiving approaches, PETA (People [...]

On Wednesday, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives had to appear before Congress to discuss the recent issue of their wanting to give themselves some big, huge bonuses. Needless to say, the Congresspeople were none too thrilled with these folks, as this LA Times article highlights: The chief executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac [...]

A whole bunch of numbers are coming out today, but one in particular stands out: as you read this, the US Debt will have reached $15 TRILLION for the first time in history. While Obama is hanging out in Hawaii on the links with his prostitute-seeking-and-busted-by-an-undercover-cop friend, complaining about Americans being lazy (the hypocrisy on [...]

I happened to catch Diane Sawyer’s interview with Mark Kelly and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Monday night. What a moving, inspiring, touching story it was, and is, to see this courageous woman, with the support of her loving, retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, coming back from the horrific crime that almost took her life. I [...]

Here are a couple of stories to get you going, both about OWS in New York. The first one is really pretty funny. A former Marine and retired New York City cop had had it with an OWS heckling Congressman Turner during his swearing in ceremony: Kevin Hiltunen, a former NYPD officer, yesterday grabbed an [...]

Doesn’t that just make you jump for joy to know this? Believe it or not, I am not just talking about Solyndra here. Oh, no. It is a far bigger picture than just that one failed company, though there are more energy programs involved. Peter Schweizer has written a new book, Throw Them All Out: [...]
