“Bigger Than Watergate” »

So say Obama officials about the “Fast and Furious” program, according to Sharyl Attkisson (h/t to Helenk for this article). This story is moving fast now, with Holder being issued a subpoena by Congressional investigators finally (again, thanks, Helenk!). But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What Ms. Attkisson said in a recent [...]

“If You Love Me…” *Open Thread* »

You know about what I am talking – Obama’s exhortation to a bunch of college kids to tell Congress to pass his bill because they love him. Probably the worst reason on the face of the planet to pass legislation using a bill that the president insists be signed in its entirety, without studying the [...]

The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

“Waste Not, Want Not” »

The old Ben Franklin adage, is apparently one with which our government is unfamiliar. Just within the past few days, three major wasteful decisions have come to light. The first is in the State Department. This wasn’t just a wasteful decision, but an unethical, immoral, and I have to hope, illegal one. Within the State [...]

Want To Opt Out Of Obamacare? Try Nancy Pelosi’s District **OPEN THREAD** UPDATED »

Update below the fold. I am sure this will be a shock to you, but fully 20% of Obamacare waivers are in Nancy Pelosi’s district. (Okay, I cannot restrain myself – how much does it look like Obama is telling Nancy, “don’t you worry, sweetie, I will always love you” or something along those lines? [...]

Want To Know Who Really Ordered The Mission Against Bin Laden? It Wasn’t Obama… »

“The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a [...]

Is Nancy Pelosi For Real? »

Nancy Pelosi has come out with another whopper. Honestly, I just do not understand how this woman can be so clueless, but well, she is. She is now claiming that “there is a war on women,” discussing primarily issues related to choice. And of course, this “war” is perpetrated by the Republicans. Really, Rep. Pelosi? [...]

Guess Who’s Been Wanting To Overthrow Gadhafi For Years? »

* Bumped Up * Did you guess the Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you would have been right. Yes, CNN had this report, Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes A Prize. Oh, great. Well that’s just jake. And this is no joke. It is far, far from funny. It has been a plan long in the [...]

News That Sounds Like It’s From “The Onion,” But Isn’t »

There have been a few items in the News recently that really do sound like they are straight from The Onion, but are, in fact, true. Chalk it up to the “truth is stranger than fiction” meme. Hopefully, this will provide a bit of a respite from our undeclared war on Libya, which cost us [...]

Shining A Bright Light On TSA’s Assault On Our Rights »

Sharon Cissna is an Alaskan State Representative(D), and one of my new heroes. Now why, you may ask, is she a hero? Because Rep. Cissna refuses to submit to a TSA pat-down. As a survivor of breast cancer, with a false breast as a result of a mastectomy, she has refused to submit to another [...]

Obama Lectures Egypt On “Free And Fair Elections”?? (& Open Thread) »

Is he for real? It isn’t enough that he is insisting upon the overthrow of Egypt’s leader, but oh-my-gosh, where does HE come off lecturing ANYONE about how they should “listen to their people” (Um, hello? Obamacare?), and what kinds of elections they should have. Don’t take my word for it – here’s the man [...]

Looters And Vandals Break Into The Museum Of Egyptian Antiquities In Cairo »

As the riots continue to rage in Cairo, and other parts of Egypt, one of their targets was the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (aka, Cairo National Museum):

“Touch Me? Sue YOU, Touch Me” (+ Open Thread) »

That is the revised philosophy of “Screw me? Screw You, Screw Me” since the institution of Government Sanctioned sexual assaults by TSA agents. At least as far as former Governor, Jesse Ventura is concerned. Yes, recently the former governor of Minnesota suffered the indignity others of us have had to endure, and his response is [...]

They Lied To Us, And Now We Are Footing Their Legal Bills »

Who would that be, exactly? Oh, you are going to love this. We, you and I, American taxpayers, are footing the LEGAL bills for the Fannie Mae/Freddie mac executives who drove our economy into the ground for fraud suits filed against them starting 10 years ago. Who would that be, exactly? Oh, you know, people [...]

They Got Just What They Wanted »

NOTE: The Trolls are getting just what they want, too, when we respond to them. No matter how we try and reason with them, or provide facts to their lies and rumors, they will continue to incite, agitate, hurl insults, provide false information, and name-call, all in the name of hijacking these threads. With Obama [...]
