Let’s see. Corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder gave the New Black Panther Party thugs a pass. And he gave pay-for-play corruptocrat Bill Richardson a pass. Who’s the lucky winner today? Democrat Rep. Alan “Cheat River” Mollohan of West Virginia. You may recall that he was forced to step down from the House Ethics Committee four [...]

From the land of Barack and Michelle and Rahm and Valerie and David and David and Arne and Ray and Desiree, here’s the latest corruption scandal rocking the Windy City. They did it for the children, no doubt: The credit cards of 89 Chicago Board of Education employees have been yanked in the midst of [...]

The Siddiqui circus.

The ballyhooed budget spending freeze that will be a feature of the State of the Union address tomorrow doesn’t cover behemoth entitlement programs. It doesn’t cover a second stimulus. It is limited to an electorally-timed three-year period. The White House is already promising that favored left-wing programs in education and the environment would get a [...]

One down. Fiftysomething to go. An apology from Gannett Wisconsin Media for getting duped by Astroturf Ellie: A woman named Ellie Light (if that is her real name) recently duped dozens of newspapers around the country, including some here in Wisconsin, into printing her letter praising President Barack Obama as if she were a local [...]

“Ethno-mathematics.”

Hard for me to suppress a snort. But here it is: John McCain — who supported the $700 billion TARP bailout, the $25 billion auto bailout, a $300 billion mortgage bailout, and the first $85 billion AIG bailout – has grandiosely announced that he will oppose Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s second term: “Our country [...]

Astroturf Master/Senior White House adviser David Axlerod’s twin, David Plouffe, is officially being called an “outside adviser” It’s not clear who is paying his salary. But based on the Obama propaganda flowing into my e-mail box in his name over the last few weeks, I think we can properly call him the Spam Czar: Organizing [...]

Graphic via Libertymanics/Zazzle No corruption-scented no-bid contracts…except for Barack Obama’s own cronies, that is. James Rosen at FNC has the scoop: The Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a prominent Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids, Fox News has learned. Despite [...]

Hollywood and political celebrities are such lemmings. AIDS ribbons. Foreign baby adoptions. Livestrong bracelets. Now, every fame-seeker and left-wing panderer wants his/her mouth duct-taped to show solidarity with the gay marriage movement. The latest slave to fashion? Cindy McCain, following in the oh-so-edgy-for-Tinseltown footsteps of her daughter, MEghan: Who’s silencing these Prop. 8 opponents? They’re [...]

Sorry, Dad.

They call themselves the “Nebraskans Advisory Group” — a small band of citizens angry (yes, ANGRY!) about Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson’s ridiculous Demcare cop-out/sell-out/attempted shameless do-over. Group founder Susan Smith e-mails that a dozen members stood out in the snow for their first “Rat Rally” last weekend. A few choice photos: The protesters have plenty [...]

Who is Ellie Light? I predict you’ll start seeing the question as a popular bumper sticker soon (a la “Who is John Galt?”…and voila, someone has already made a t-shirt!). It’s a handy rhetorical rejoinder the next time the White House or your nutroots neighbors and co-workers try to tar the Tea Party or any [...]

Busy with family. Talk amongst yourselves. Bonus fun fact: This week’s NYT political best seller list is still topped by conservatives/libertarians: POLI-BOOKS BEST SELLER LIST Based on sales for weeks ending Dec. 26 through Jan. 16, 2010 1. Going Rogue, by Sarah Palin. (Harper/HarperCollins, $28.99.) A memoir by the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate. [...]

As if California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina’s massive bailout-supporting economic advice for John McCain wasn’t bad enough (reminder from yesterday’s column: “In California, McCain’s PAC supports former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – a celebrity name with deep pockets of her own, massive media exposure, and a checkered business record. Fiorina served as the economic [...]

Let’s do the time warp again.

Progressives in California have a bright idea: Bankrupt the basket-case state even further with single-payer health care: A key legislative committee in California revived a bill Thursday to create a government-run health care system in the nation’s most populous state, two days after Massachusetts elected a senator who opposes the president’s national health care plan. [...]

The question isn’t why Sarah Palin is helping John McCain. The question is: What are you doing to stop him from cementing his Big Government Republican legacy? *** Conservatives: Beware of McCain Regression Syndrome by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 Pay attention: In the afterglow of the Massachusetts Miracle, there are flickers of peril [...]

Last gasp.

Lady ga-ga.

What is it with the Left’s obsession over conservative women and swimsuits?

Blue-on-blue.

The latest aftershock from the Massachusetts earthquake: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just announced she doesn’t have the votes for the House to pass the Senate’s version of the health care bill. For now. More to come… Via The Hill: The House lacks the votes to pass the Senate’s healthcare bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said [...]

Many of you may remember a scathing documentary by Citizens United about Hillary Clinton from 2007. I blogged about it at the time here. The film became the center of a huge legal battle over the free-speech-stifling McCain-Feingold campaign finance scheme. Parts of the law were struck down by the Supreme Court when the Wisconsin [...]

Scroll for updates… GOP Sen.-elect Scott Brown of the People’s Seat of Massachusetts heads to D.C. today. He mentioned wanting to play basketball with Barack Obama and has mentioned looking forward to meeting with John McCain. He will also meet with Harry Reid. Here is my hope: I hope that he will reach out as [...]

I told you the other day about Marc Thiessen’s must-read book, Courting Disaster, on how the Left and Obama are sabotaging all the effective intelligence-gathering programs that the Bush administration created to prevent jihadi attacks after 9/11. Thiessen is taking the fight directly to the liberal lion’s den, and called out Christiane Amanpour on CNN [...]

Scroll for updates… He already admitted he had lied repeatedly about his affair with Rielle Hunter. Then in August 2008, after admitting he had become “increasingly egocentric and narcissistic,” he told the press he “will have nothing more to say.” Then came “Game Change” revelations published in the New York this month by journalists who [...]

Yep, that was the spin out of White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ mouth this afternoon. Just a few short days ago, President Obama was up in Massachusetts mocking Brown’s truck and casting him as a fat-cat crony of Wall Street. Today? Gibbs asserted with a straight face that the same kind of “anger” that [...]

After engaging in mind-boggling acts of non-stop generational theft over the past year and blowing through the debt ceiling during the Christmas holiday, the White House and Democrat majority have unveiled a phony plan to “solve” the red-ink disaster they helped create by kicking the can to a toothless panel. GOP Sen. Judd Gregg calls [...]

I want this to happen, don’t you? Don’t worry about the support of the NRSC or Beltway Republicans. The money will come, Rep. Pence — from grass-roots conservatives across the country who have appreciated your stalwart, unwavering, unapologetic, explicit, and proven commitment to the Constitution and conservative principles. Go for it: In the wake of [...]
