“Insufficient tuned-in-ness.”

I’ve been under the weather most of the day. Up late last night with feverish son. Hope you all are feeling better than we are! Talk amongst yourselves.

A Facebook friend told me about Lt. Daniel Cnossen. He is an amazing patriot and I’m asking you to read his story… …here… …and then please do what you can to contribute to help support Lt. Cnossen and his family on the road to recovery. God bless you, Lt. Cnossen. Your service, spirit, and courage [...]

Right on cue…

Something horrible happened to Bill Sparkman, who worked part-time as a Census worker in rural southeastern Kentucky. He was found dead. Tied to a tree. Preliminary tests show he died of asphyxiation. But the “cause of Sparkman’s death is under investigation, and authorities have not ruled out suicide, an accident or homicide, said Kentucky state [...]

The three R’s in the Age of Obama: Rappin’, revolution & radicalism by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2009 When the White House announced plans for the president’s nationwide address to schoolchildren two weeks ago, worried parents were dismissed as “kooks.” We pointed to the subtext of “social justice” activism rampant in American classrooms. It’s [...]

From the Dallas Morning News, an illegal alien from Jordan was arrested in Italy, Texas for plotting to bomb a skyscraper after coming to the U.S. specifically to commit jihad. I’m sure the State Department and DHS will be all over the consular officials and immigration enforcement lapses that led to his entrance into the [...]

“They understand that there is a little bit of Barack Obama in all of us.”

Earlier this week, I noted the “Islam on Capitol Hill” event taking place tomorrow in Washington DC. Well, a group of brave apostates has launched Former Muslims United and they are holding an event today to raise awareness of the ravages of sharia law. The group is pressing the DOJ to protect the rights and [...]

There are no (non-profane) words for this, via CBS2 Chicago (h/t Andy McCarthy): The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants the grant withdrawn. The money would be divided between two foundations run by the family of Libyan [...]

The push for czar accountability — a major theme of Culture of Corruption — continues. In the Senate, GOP Sen. Susan Collins yesterday proposed an amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill that would restrict federal funds of at least 18 appointed Obama czars. There are currently four co-sponsors.

“Give them what they need.”

“I am Barack Obama.”

From my friends at Smart Girl Politics, you’ll love the propaganda quiz that one student brought home from class after watching President Obama’s joint address to Congress on health care. Here’s an excerpt: Check out SGP for the rest of the story. *** Earlier today: The Obama school rap and other Lessons for Revolutionary Change

Two items for you: 1) Tom Blumer reports on how public school officials in Illinois are following up on President Obama’s education speech with their own attempt to indoctrinate them on the “significant messages inherent in his speech” in order to “educate the whole child.” Education, after all, is the motor force of revolution. 2) [...]

The Senate majority’s contempt for the American people rears its ugly head again. The Senate Finance Committee just voted down a GOP amendment requiring that Obamacare legislation be available online 72 hours before the panel votes. Instead, the Democrats offered to make “conceptual language” available. Dems lied, transparency died: Senate Finance Committee Democrats have rejected [...]

“Terror council.”

Who said it? President Obama’s manufacturing czar, Ron Bloom — just one of the Democratic Socialists of America-tied radicals spotlighted in Trevor Loudon’s latest dossier.

“The deciding factor is overtime, not security.”

Where’s everyone else? Via the National Post: Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the United Nations on Wednesday, saying his outbursts about the Holocaust and Israel are “shameful.” Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon will be at the world body to attend the opening of the UN General Assembly’s annual debate, but officials signal [...]

Left high and dry.

AARP members who are still wondering why their leaders in Washington want to sell them out on Obamacare, pay attention. The GOP has uncovered one very lucrative possibility: Kickbacks. Here’s the deal: This week the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced it was investigating Humana for providing “misleading” information regarding the Administration’s proposed cuts [...]

Sightings of his tent in Westchester County NY. A rumor that he’ll be parking at Donald Trump’s estate. We should have never let him set foot on U.S. soil in the first place.

Photoshop: Leo Alberti So, now the White House has issued “new guidelines” in the wake of the “inappropriate” political lobbying call coordinated by the National Endowment for the Arts and exposed by Patrick Courrielche . Translation: Instead of delivering “specific asks” to potential government grant recipients, they’ll stick to non-specific asks on behalf of Hope [...]

The Energy Secretary is going to take away your car keys or something if you keep acting like unruly “teenage kids” and oppose the cap-and-tax agenda.

Make a note of the Hollywood celebrities featured in this health insurance industry-bashing joint production from MoveOn.org and Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, et al.

Last week, I spotlighted Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama’s collaborative efforts to push their mentor, friend, and former employer Chicago mayor Richard Daley’s bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016.
