I saw this last night on "Special Report" with Bret Baier on Fox News. It features ABC's White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, but ABC didn't find it newsworthy enough to broadcast. The White House has taken the position that Jordan should not do a deal with ISIS where they trade a convicted bomber participated in […]
Once upon a time, in journalism schools across the country, lip service was paid to the notion that it was a reporter's job to report the news without fear or favor and to hold those in power accountable for their actions. They're not even trying anymore. If you watched the Big 3 networks morning and […]
So, Tuesday's election was an ass-whupping of historic proportions. Of the "in-play" seats in the U.S. Senate, only New Hampshire's Jeanne Shaheen appears to have survived. In Virginia, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie came within a whisker of ousting Sen. John Warner in a race that appeared on absolutely no one's radar. In […]
Late last week a funny thing happened. The Denver Post, which had twice endorsed Barack Obama for the presidency came out and urged a vote for GOP candidate Cory Gardner in the Colorado Senate Race. This is the journalistic equivalent of the legal doctrine of an admission against interest. It carries more weight than a National Review or Weekly […]
Today's idiot is Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat of Texas, proof positive that intelligence, humility and a sense of shame are unnecessary (and possibly detrimental) to a career in the House of Representatives. Yes, that's Ms. Lee claiming that the Democrats never tried to impeach President Bush. Does she think memories in Washington, D.C. are […]
Last week someone I follow on Twitter posted a link to this bit of dreck from the young liberal "thinker" Jonathan Chait over at New York magazine. The story is entitled "How Mitch McConnell Hacked American Democracy." I'm guessing that this is a bad thing. The main gist of the piece appears to be that Senate Minority […]
Eleanor Clift is a regular talking head on the "McLaughlin Group" and can be counted on to parrot the left-wing talking points of the day. However, not even I would've guessed that she'd be willing to say this. “I’d like to point out that Ambassador Stevens was not ‘murdered,’” Clift said, using air quotes, “but […]
Last week, Fox News talking head and columnist Kirsten Powers wrote a column for USA Today that accused legislators in Kansas of creating a new system of "Jim Crow" laws with their efforts to protect religious believers from being forced to violate their consciences by providing services to gay nuptials. Four days later, she published another piece, […]
Back at the height of Catastrophic Anthropogenic (human-caused) Global Warming alarmism, our betters in Sacramento passed Assembly Bill 32 which created a carbon marketplace (a concept championed by the likes of Enron) that oil producers and power plant operators would have to participate in by buying credits to offset their carbon dioxide output. After several […]
I posted a link to this article by Chris Conover at Forbes' Apothecary blog at my "night job" website the other day. If this graphic turns out to be true, then expect Obamacare to go down in flames, taking a lot of Democrats with it. These numbers, if accurate, are devastating. The "losers" category is 55.3 percent […]
