Feds Stop Sand Berms In LA »

Yes, you read that right. The Department of the Interior under Ken Salazar has stopped the creation of sand berms to protect Louisiana.

Now Mexico Is Suing Arizona? »

Okay, I am just shaking my head in disbelief at this, but it is, in fact, true. Yes, now Mexico is suing Arizona for having the audacity to try and protect its borders from illegal aliens. Oh, that’s not how they phrase it – they just don’t want their citizens to be asked for any [...]

For What The Hell Is Obama WAITING?? »

Okay, not to harp on this subject or anything, but the Gulf Oil Spill continues to be horribly mismanaged by Obama.

While We Are Distracted… »

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]

“The Ties That Bind…” »

You know, for an Administration that campaigned on “Transparency,” there sure seems to be a whole lot of opaqueness when it comes to Obama and those who pushed him to prominence. Take, for example, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He has some mighty interesting Connections, as this article highlights, The Ties That Bind. Remember [...]

A Solution To The Oil Spill? »

The oil spill continues to spread, wreaking havoc on marine life and human livelihood and enterprise. I can barely stomach seeing the photos of the birds soaked in oil. And after a quick trip to the beach 10 minutes away from my house, the thought of the oil making its way to my neck of [...]
