President Obama and his administration have been living a delusion when it comes to the economy and the federal deficit. Interestingly enough, we have new deficit numbers from the White House which showed the CBO was much more accurate than the White House rosy estimates. The graph below illustrates the difference between the CBO and White House: […]

Just a reminder on the historic event coming today which I posted on previously. Today is the day NASA launches the last servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, a challenging upgrade mission to allow Hubble to operate for another 4-5 years. And it won’t be trivial: Nasa is set to dispatch seven astronauts on […]

Update: It’s even worse than the bottom line numbers indicate. Apparently, even with such small amounts going to actual projects and being spent, the Department of Transportation can’t keep track of the money: Counties suffering the most from job losses stand to receive the least help from President Barack Obama’s plan to spend billions of […]

I am no longer a ‘conservative’ because the term has been poisoned and run through the muck by the far right. ‘True conservatives’ scream at diverse opinions with anger, unable to fathom why anyone would think differently (even in modest terms). To them Stalin, Soros and John McCain/George Bush are basically cut from the same […]

Nancy Pelosi is not stupid. She is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, fourth in line to lead this nation. But lately, she either wants America to think she is a few shades away from the Hollywood classical dumb blonde, or she thinks Americans are too slow to figure out she knew and condoned […]

It is common for newbie administrations to come into town with grand ideas of how they can control and change America. It usually only takes a few bruising encounters with reality to adjust their thinking. But Imperial Obama administration has no credible opposition and fawning and compliant news media (what is left of it). So […]

Update: Ed Morrissey notes (H/T reader Darth Aggie) that the only reason the April numbers were not the 6th month of 600,000+ job losses is because 72,000 low paying, temporary census jobs hid the true toll of the lack of any federal stimulus. These few gains were offset by adjustments for previous months were more […]

Nancy Pelosi likes to pretend she is a stalwart, anti-war liberal. But the truth is she lies to the left in order to retain power and shove money into her personal coffers: Case in point: water-boarding known terrorists: Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September […]

Addendum: I hope DJ doesn’t mind me adding my two cents to this, but we have in these quotes she resurrected the potential to rebuild the conservative movement in a manner palatable for a broad coalition. These words of wisdom should be the litmus test of our policy proposals. We cannot run to the pure […]

I know the fringes left and right don’t like me to remind them of how irrelevant they are rapidly becoming, but the big news out of PA is a left of center moderate (Specter) may go head to head with a right of center moderate (Ridge) for Senator Specter’s seat. The battle for the centrists begins […]
