Another “neeeeever mind” from President Obama, via Mike Gonzalez at Heritage: Less than 24 hours after Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner questioned the veracity of President Obama’s persistent claim that, under his health care proposals, “if you like your insurance package you can keep it”, the White House has begun to walk the President’s claim [...]

Har:

Up.

President Obama has invited celebrities to the White House to join him “in his mission to encourage mentorship and fatherhood ahead of the Father’s Day holiday on Sunday.” Do I smell a Special Master of Paternal Compensation coming on? *** If you are looking for last-minute Father’s Day ideas, try this one: The Ultimate Man’s [...]

The Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered 100 minutes of blame the Jews/Death to the U.S. bile mixed with a veiled threat to the hundreds of thousands of protesters who’ve taken to the streets the last week to oppose voter fraud and fight for freedom from the mullah-cracy: In his first public response to [...]

I blogged about Michelle Obama’s role in creating a patient-dumping scheme for the University of Chicago Medical Center back in March. With her husband and the Democrats unleashing health care horror story anecdotes to gin up public fear and build support for the beleaguered Obamacare plan, my syndicated column today revisits the kind of “reform” [...]

What could be more stomach-turning than a radical animal rights group that has a snit fit over a swatted fly paying homage to a mass-murdering Marxist guerilla? Yep. PETA has teamed up with Che Guevara’s granddaughter to pimp the “vegetarian revolution.” Not going to post the photo of their new ad campaign. Click here if [...]

Whistleblower Anita MonCrief has been sued by Project Vote/ACORN to shut her up. Read her latest reporting at the Hot Air Green Room and on her blog while you can. As long as you tolerate your [...]

This is how they roll: Hat tip: Newsalert

ABC News says it welcomes “thoughtful” and “diverse” voices on its White House health care special. Why not include ABC 20/20 anchor John Stossel? I have confirmed that he has not been asked to be a part of the programming. Why not? When it comes to thoughtful and diverse perspectives on freedom, government, and the [...]

Ross Kaminsky, a recent convert to Twitter, has a nice overview for newcomers on the medium and its role in the Iranian uprising. Excerpt: The impact of Twitter on events in Iran has been noticed by our usually dictator-compliant State Department, which risked insulting the ayatollahs by contacting Twitter to request they postpone a scheduled [...]

Photoshop: Reader Rachael in Ky With delay comes opportunity…opportunity to continue making your voices heard. The Senate Finance Committee postpones mark-up on Obamacare until after the July 4 recess: The Senate Finance Committee is delaying its first public drafting session on major health care legislation until after the July Fourth recess, a lengthy setback but [...]

I weighed in on the Ensign affair early this morning. Just in: Ensign will resign his GOP leadership post as head of the Republican Policy Committee. Only one word to add to what I’ve already said: Good.

“The poise! The cupping!”

Just wanted to take a pause from politics and policy and world affairs to let you all know that 5-year-old Hannah Garman has died. Hannah was diagnosed with a rare, incurable brain tumor in October 2008. Hannah’s mother died of cancer three years ago. Many of you joined last December in sending prayers and well [...]

(Via DoublePlusUndead) Details via JPost: Members of Iran’s national soccer team wore green arm and wrist bands Wednesday during their World Cup qualifying match against South Korea.

Tim Graham at Newsbusters reminds us that ABC (The All Barack Channel) wasn’t the first left-wing TV network to host a government infomercial pushing government-run healthcare. NBC became Nothing But Clinton in 1994 — commercial-free and subsidized by the far Left Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to boot. Flashback July 1994: NBC raised a lot of [...]

Ugh. What a wretched dog. GOP Sen. John Ensign of Nevada cheated on his beautiful wife — the mother of his three children — with a campaign aide who was married to one of his Senate staffers. He rode his high horse as a guardian of marriage and Promise Keepers. And then he only admitted [...]

Information providers and their conduits, like people, just want to be free. No matter. Outmaneuvered by dissidents on Twitter, Facebook, and blogs, Iran has declared war on the Internet. It’s a war the Luddite mullahs will lose: Iran’s most powerful military force is warning online media of a crackdown over their coverage of the country’s [...]

Waste. Fraud. Abuse. SHHHHHH!

Down the drain.

You know how the White House/CBO are now telling us that Obamacare will cost $1 trillion over 10 years? Try $4 trillion over 10 years. And probably higher. Philip Klein at The American Spectator un-fuzzifies the math. They just keep pulling numbers out of their hat…and other places.

Slush fund.

They just keep pulling ‘em out of their hats…and other places.

ABC News should be required to register as a federal lobbyist. On June 24, Drudge reports, the network will broadcast from inside the White House to air a propaganda special for Obamacare. Opposing voices will reportedly be excluded. ABC News says “thoughtful” and “diverse” points of view will be allowed. In other words: Shills of [...]

Photo via #iranelection twitterer maydar Michael Ledeen weighs in: What’s going to happen?, you ask. Nobody knows, even the major actors. The regime has the guns, and the opposition has the numbers. The question is whether the numbers can be successfully organized into a disciplined force that demands the downfall of the regime. Yes, I [...]

Yes, they can!

Wrecovery.gov! It’s a good thing the White House can’t fire GOP Sen. Tom Coburn the way it fires inspectors general for blowing the whistle on waste. He’s doing the job no one else in the administration is allowed to do — telling us the truth about porkulus fraud and abuse. While Bozo the VP Joe [...]

Bad joke.
