For the past couple of weeks, Fox News White House reporter Major Garrett has been trying to get flack Robert Gibbs to confirm or deny Rep. Joe Sestak’s claim that he was offered a job (allegedly Secretary of the Navy) in return for dropping out of his primary challenge against incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter. Such […]
Fox News’ Bret Baier today did the best interview of President Obama any journalist has done since he first began running for president when he was in college. Unlike the sycophants in the rest of the mainstream media, Baier repeatedly returned to questions that Obama failed to answer the first time as he went off […]
President Obama made the following statement at his 7,384th health care reform address yesterday in Strongsville, Ohio. How many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now? Raise your hands. All right. Well, a lot of those folks, your employer it’s estimated would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent [sic], which […]
Economist Walter E. Williams has a succinct piece on the nature of fundamental human rights. Guess what? Health care and Internet access aren’t among them. True rights, such as those in our Constitution, or those considered to be natural or human rights, exist simultaneously among people. That means exercise of a right by one person […]
Today was not a good day for President Obama and the Democrats. The Republicans didn’t look like a bunch of know-nothing, childish, just-say-no obstructionists with no ideas of their own. Should the president and his allies go forward with pushing this disaster via reconciliation, the blowback will be immense. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin made […]
A gaffe, according to editor and columnist Michael Kinsley, is when a politician accidentally tells the truth. President Barack Obama made one yesterday when he did a Q&A with the House Republican conference – one no one seemed to notice. THE PRESIDENT: Tom [Price, R-Ga.], look, I have to say that on the -- let's […]
Last month, I mentioned the case of Rom Houben who was believed to be in a persistent vegetative state for decades, but was in fact conscious for much of the time. One commenter noted that Houben was using “facilitated communication,” i.e. a therapist was helping Houben use a keyboard to communicate, and Houben's consciousness may […]
This is downright scary. A car crash victim has spoken of the horror he endured for 23 years after he was misdiagnosed as being in a coma when he was conscious the whole time. Rom Houben, trapped in his paralysed body after a car crash, described his real-life nightmare as he screamed to doctors that […]
After spending 15 years in the newspaper business, I can assure you that I’m familiar with obscene profits. Back in the days before Craigslist came along to decimate their lucrative classified ad sales, newspapers commonly turned 30-40 percent profit margins – and my meager paychecks were proof of that. So, when Democrats demonize the health […]
The Obama Justice Dept. announced yesterday that they would refuse to enforce federal drug laws as it relates to marijuana in states where they have passed laws allowing for the “medical” use of the drug. Federal drug agents won't pursue pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers in states that allow medical marijuana, under new legal […]
