Lila Rose has done another undercover video, this time revealing that a Planned Parenthood clinic in Arizona violated state law in failing to report to authorities a sexual relationship between a 15-year-old girl and a 27-year-old man. Rose has previously demonstrated the same contempt for child abuse laws by Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana. At […]
Three of President Barack Obama's high-level nominees have had tax troubles jump up and bite them of late. The first, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was confirmed. As mentioned below, HHS Secretary-designate Tom Daschle withdrew his name from consideration by the Senate today. Nancy Killefer, the woman Obama selected to be his "chief performance officer," and […]
The New York Times editorial board comes out against tax-cheater Tom Daschle. When President Obama nominated former Senator Tom Daschle to be his secretary of health and human services, it seemed to be a good choice. Mr. Daschle, as the co-author of a book on health care reform, knew a lot about one of the […]
Dozens of people are dead in Kentucky because of a severe ice storm that has left people without power and cut off from the outside world. FEMA has been slow to respond and the president hasn't rushed to the area to survey the damage. The media isn't interested in applying the Katrina standard to the […]
President Barack Obama won plaudits from some government watchdog types for his new ethics rules that forbade people who had lobbied the government during the past two jobs from taking posts in his administration. It turns out, Obama's rule isn't much of a "rule." In Obama's first 13 full days in office, he's issued 17 […]
It's been said that a gaffe is accidentally telling the truth. For a real-world example, I give you Brendan Daly. Nearly all of the 11 Democrats who voted against the economic stimulus package Wednesday had an incentive other than the plan’s hefty price tag: Nine of them hold districts carried by John McCain in 2008. […]
To a certain extent I can understand why some GOP senators would be willing to vote for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner even though he was likely a conscious tax-dodger. Geithner is probably the best person to head Treasury that a left-liberal like President Barack Obama could pick as far as most conservatives would be concerned. […]
I had a conversation Saturday with a couple of liberal friends -- not journalists -- and came away with little more than rote recitation of false liberal talking points. Among the arguments made was that the housing crisis that snowballed into a financial crisis which avalanched into a severe recession turning into a depression was […]
The Republican Party yesterday elected it's first black chairman, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. This prompted CNN's Wolf Blitzer to declare: "Take a look at the audience, though -- and I want to show our viewers a picture of the audience. Michael Steele, the first African-American leader of the RNC -- Leslie [Sanches, GOP […]
During the campaign, conservatives bashed then-candidate Barack Obama for this remark: "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. "That's not leadership. That's not going to […]
