A Damning Exposé of Obama, ACORN, and the New York Times »

I saw this segment the other night on O’Reilly but, per usual, Fox failed to post the video. (Lately, many of Fox’s best videos are not getting posted at their site. It’s disappointing.) Anyway, RockTheFacts kindly sent me the video he took care to post:

BELOW, you have to check out an astounding article [...]

Does The Name Anita Moncrief Ring A Bell? »

It should, if the media had done their job, that is. Well, the Wall Street Journal did a while back, and I did a piece back in November on her. Her name should be familiar because she was a whistleblower on ACORN. And, she was having conversations with the New York Times [...]

Oh, THIS Should Bring About Change »

NOT!!! This is rich - so, rich. Check out this headline (h/t to Will:Bowers): DNC’s Kaine Picks Panel To Reform Democrats’ Entire Nominating Process.

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries - what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes - I am talking, of course, about her decision to [...]

Possible Voter Fraud? »

Or should I say, MORE possible voter fraud? My local paper had this article recently: Is double voting a problem? No one’s sure, but officials might try to find out..

Winter Solstice »

The winter holidays are here. It is the time of year when we experience the darkest night of the year, the Winter Solstice. It is this time of year that brings darkness, and that also brings hope. It is the hope that is signified by the evergreen and the holly. Life is happening deep within [...]

Chicago Politics »

I saw this headline in my local paper, “Illinois Corruption: Deep Roots, Tough to Weed Out” an AP piece by Sharon Cohen. In this piece, she details the long, long history of corruption in Chicago, and Illinois, politics. Also in this lengthy article, the only mention of Obama, the man who chose to [...]

House Of Cards **OPEN THREAD** »

That is what Obama has been building. Like this (can be watched with the sound off. I have never heard this song before):

Cheaters Never Prosper? **UPDATED** »

Uh, yeah, apparently they do. Obama is a major case in point. He only got to where he is now by cheating on a massive level, with the DNC both sanctioning and colluding in the cheating. A major avenue in which the cheating occurred was done so with the help of a [...]
