100 Days To Repeal And Replace
The clock is ticking. One hundred days and counting until the largest shakeup in American political history. The Democrats are in full meltdown mode. Their party is collapsing under its own weight, as it becomes increasingly clear that Republicans, if they play their cards right, have an opportunity to take back not only the House, as has been widely predicted, but the Senate as well. How did we get to this point? Eighteen months ago, the party of tax and spend was all aglow, basking in the glory of knowing that not only did they control both houses of ...
An Alternate Universe
Vice President Joe Biden, appearing on "This Week", said Democrats are going to shock everybody with how well they do in the November elections. Paraphrasing Mark Twain, Biden said that reports of the 'demise' of the Democrats are "premature". Biden must be living in an alternate universe. Polls indicate congressional job approval is at an all-time low. The passage of the health care bill despite overwhelming opposition to it has angered many Americans. Failure to control the borders while attempting to shove amnesty down the throats of the American people in the guise of comprehensive ...
Obama May Not Care About A Second Term
Ed Schultz, the lib talker radio and television host, recently postulated that Barack Obama may not really desire to be president. Schultz said it may just not be his "gig". In an interview with ABC News, Obama had told Diane Sawyer that he'd rather be a really good one term president, than a mediocre two term president. Instead, what we're dealing with is a man who would be happy to serve only one term, provided that he can push his radical agenda on the American people. Three examples stand out as to what Obama is trying ...
Obama Is Holding America Hostage
It is now evident as we approach day 70 of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that this is a disaster of monumental proportions. Clearly BP is responsible for the explosion that killed eleven workers and spewed countless gallons of crude which have damaged the environment, hurt wildlife and threatened the lives and livelihood of those in the region. But who is responsible for the aftermath? Who is charged with leadership in seeing to it that this crisis is addressed, that the citizens of the affected states receive the help that they need, and ...

From Unlikely Voter: I’ve seen a few Republicans express serious doubts about Carly Fiorina after the latest California Senate poll from Public Policy Polling, but I think close inspection of that poll should give one pause before putting too much weight on its results.

Clearly, the Democrats think they have something here tying together the Republican Party and the Tea Party. However, it seems to me that this political miscalculation is exactly why Congress’ approval rating is at 11%. What the Democratic Leadership doesn’t seem to understand is that the Tea Party isn’t a political party; it’s a set of ideas shared by the overwhelming majority of Americans.

It looked like we had dodged a bullet. With an election looming, Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) decided that a provision requiring a minimum of 15 percent renewable-energy generation nationwide by 2020 was too controversial to include in the so-called energy bill he introduced this week. Sen.

Before my spirited exchange with my esteemed friend Amity Shlaes about the New Deal reaches the point of diminishing returns, it should be possible to agree on some points that may be applicable to current economic questions.I think we agree that Obamanomics has not succeeded, beyond a tentative stabilization, easily shaken by lack of public confidence in the regime and the absence of any serious deficit-reduction plan. We seem also to agree that unfocused fiscal profligacy on the scale of the $... - A Crisis Gone to Waste -- By: Jonah Goldberg30 July 2010, 4:00 am
Well, that was fast. Just a few weeks ago, the Gulf oil spill was a turning point for America. It was precisely the providential prodding Americans needed to wean ourselves from the diabolic goo that runs our cars, heats our homes, and forms the plastic that makes the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip possible. While President Obama seemed to dither, the anointed consciences of American life combusted with frustration and rage. New York Times columnist Frank Rich fretted that if the spill continue... - Ignoring the Law -- By: Heather Mac Donald30 July 2010, 4:00 am
The Obama administration’s hilarious commerce-clause argument against Arizona’s immigration law was too much even for U.S. District Judge Susan “Rubber Stamp” Bolton. The Justice Department had maintained that the Arizona statute’s ban on smuggling illegal aliens while committing another crime -- a provision targeting drug dealers -- violates the Constitution’s assignment of the regulation of interstate commerce to the federal government.

Want to see what Obamacare really looks like?

The letter cites the [...]... - France Needs Strategic Approach to Its War with Al-Qaeda29 July 2010, 11:00 pm
France’s declaration of war on al-Qaeda is merely a public statement of fact: France takes counterterrorism seriously.
