Well, I knew it would break sooner or later because the incestuous coziness of politicians to industry, and today is the day for the second domino to fall (the first domino was Senator Chris Dodd (D)): Feinstein sought $25 billion for agency that awarded contract to spouse On the day the new Congress convened this [...]

Lot’s of folks recall that CNN reporter who went all drama queen on the TV when covering the tea parties. A reader (EL Rider) who was there updates us on what happened: I was in the crowd shown in the Roesgen CNN video at the Chicago Tea Party, I was photographing the event. The crowd [...]

  How dumb does Team Obama think Americans are? First, in  a year where the Obama administration is planning on spending nearly $2,000,000,000,000, they come out and propose  a measly $100,000 in budget cuts so as to appear to be concerned about out of control government spending (who says the tea parties haven’t rattled the Dems?): [...]

As the proud father of a Marine this breaking news is extremely disturbing: A North Carolina-based US Marine was arrested at Logan Airport yesterday after federal transportation screeners discovered an undeclared semiautomatic weapon, ammunition, and bomb-making materials in his checked baggage, authorities said. … TSA screeners in Terminal B at Logan called State Police at [...]

Major Update: Seems the CQ Story is falling apart as the NY Times denies ever talking to Harman regarding the NSA-FISA story. Where there is one error, there are probably others.  - end update Drama Queen Update Below Well, before the drama queens on the left go ape over supposed spying on Americans and Democrats [...]

The Telegraph (UK) has discovered two songs recorded by the incredible Susan Boyle about 10 years ago and distributed to just a few friends. For those who want to hear her wonderful talent without the audience noise this is a real treat. Enjoy!

This has the best example of why there are no jobs coming out of DC for average America. It seems a liberal Democrat Congressman by the name Jack Murtha has been wasting our hard earned tax money on an airport with his name on it: The John Murtha airport sits on a windy mountain two hours east [...]

  I wish the conservative fanatics had not gone mad belittling the science of genetics and evolution for a lot of reasons. First off, ignorance is just not a plan, let a lone a national policy. 2nd, if you want to make the case for sanctity of life in the matters of Embryonic Stem Cell [...]

Humanity has been slapped upside its collective head with a hefty dose of humble pie and respect for the average person. We all know Hollywood (and its cousins across this globe) packages talent that combines creativity or awe inspiring gifts with something highly marketable. The ability to make money is the key, which is why [...]

Bumped To Top For The Weekend There has been a slow moving train wreck in progress for months now, where the American people’s anger and frustration is on a collision course with Democrat policies enacted under President Obama. It is definitely not the poor picked on conservatives carping about government oppression from DHS – but [...]

One reason I became permanently fed up with the conservative remnants  of the movement started by Reagan is the fact that they have totally lost the context of the hurt spreading across this country. It was not simply the fact that the right went berserk on DHS in the exact same way the left went berserk on [...]

  One of our most inquisitive readers posed a great question the other day, which I think everyone in this nation should be concerned about. Reader Crosspatch noticed that our economy is not reacting as it should to the influx of all this tax payer money – and rightfully wonders where, then, is it going? [...]

I am proud to host some of the smartest readers here at the Strata-Sphere. They constantly remind this humble centrist American that this country is best run from the  bottom up, and no one voice should override the collective will of the people. One such reader (trust me, most who comment here are in this [...]

Well, as an ex-conservative I can see I jumped the sinking ship just in time. A key issue with the DHS report (my initial posts here and here) is that it was clearly aimed at potentially violent groups. At the time the DHS report broke and the right went mad, I noted mainstream conservatism is [...]

A CNN Reporter (who probably is getting a reprimand) claimed the Tea Parties were anti-government (should be against unbridled government spending and high taxes) and anti-CNN! What in the world does CNN have to do with this? Supposedly, in this warped little mind, these protests across the nation are anti-CNN since Fox News was reporting [...]
