Some news has been circulating in my circles which has just cemented for me how bad it is in DC with the current liberal Democrat control (or lack of therein) of the Federal Government. I have never seen a more confused or incoherent lot in my life. They put on a facade of understanding […]

The controversial Obama nominee to head the National Intelligence Council has withdrawn his name in the light of a lifetime of radical positions and statements. Charles Freeman, the Obama administration’s choice to head the National Intelligence Council, has withdrawn from consideration after facing strong opposition from Senate Republicans. … The withdrawal came hours after Freeman […]

  Words of wisdom from the very liberal Jim Cramer: It’s time to get serious. It’s time to take the issue from the pundits and from the left and right, and put it where it belongs: serious non-ideological debate to put out the real firestorm, the collapse of the economy from Wall Street to Main Street and […]

Everyone likes to talk about tipping points in politics. Well we may have just hit one with the pork ridden Spendulus bill, followed by the pork laden Omnibus bill, followed by the economic down turn in the markets (if the DOW is a tracking poll, public opinion is heading into the tank).  The liberal spend-fest […]

  This is part one of a three part post title “Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, stuck in the middle with you (America)“. The current economic crisis is the result of a brewing political crisis that has been boiling for decades. We are here today thanks to the hyper-partisans, who […]

  This is part one of a three part post title “Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, stuck in the middle with you (America)”. Today we have a delicious story of irony regarding the GOP infighting and how it is reshaping the conservative movement. David Frum, who led the initial charge against Harriet Miers […]

  This is excellent news, and proof Americans can pull together to stop even the liberal democrats in DC from going overboard: The Obama administration has scrapped plans to have the Census Bureau director report directly to the White House, assuaging the concerns of lawmakers. Commerce Secretary nominee Gary Locke met with key senators Wednesday […]

DJ Drummond makes an excellent point today regarding Presidents who have had to deal with inherited recessions: Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama each inherited a recession when they came to office. That’s not unusual, though – Presidents Kennedy, Ford, and Bush also inherited recessions when they arrived at the White House, and in fact Presidents […]

Some amazing videos out on the net comparing the military responses to a visit by the Commander-In-Chief. First, the jarringly tepid response by US Marines this week to Commander-in-Chief Obama (big H/T Gateway Pundit) Now, compare that with this response to President Bush: And this one (from Gateway Pundit Again): The difference in respect is stunning.

Update at the end -  While the Dems do have huge majorities in Congress, Obama and the liberal Dem leaders in Congress can still go too far and be defeated. Right now there may be a chance this could happen, because there  seems to be a mini-revolt brewing in the Democrat ranks over the Omnibus spending bill […]
