Adnan Shukrijumah. Does the name ring a bell? It should if you have been a regular reader of this blog since its inception in 2004. In August 2004, I reported on the FBI search for the high-profile fugitive and al Qaeda operative billed as the “next Mohammed Atta.” There’s been a $5 million bounty on […]

Liberals in Ohio have quite a track snooping on private citizens. Democrat state officials abused their access and plundered through Joe the Plumber’s records. And now, the Ohio Democrat Party has been caught trying to illegally obtain info on concealed carry permit holders in the Buckeye State in order to bombard them with anti-gun propaganda. […]

A moment of candor from Democrat Sen. Max Baucus today at the Senate EPW Committee hearing on the Boxer-Menendez oil spill liability amendments. His comments are directed at grandstanding committee chairwoman Sen. Barbara Boxer, sitting next to him. His soliloquy on the Dems’ rush to pass legislation to send a Big Oil-bashing message comes in […]

Gearing up for President Obama’s illegal alien shamnesty speech tomorrow, the open-borders lobby is starting in again with demonstrations across the country. Here’s the far Left L.A. Indymedia crowd crowing about a recent sit-in at GOP Rep. David Dreier’s office: SAN DIMAS, California – About thirty constituents, immigrant rights activists, students, and community members entered […]

The Obama vampires strike again. My latest column focuses on the White House evasion of public disclosure rules through off-site lobbyist meetings at D.C. coffee houses. But first, here are some handy Team Obama transparency-sabotaging reminders for you drawing on Culture of Corruption and the mountain of previous blog posts here that have documented Team […]

The Commonwealth Fund.

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Oh, of course she does, but how quickly even those with the highest formal educations can suddenly act like they were raised by wolves: Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan on Tuesday fought off Republicans who were trying hard to paint her as a liberal activist, saying she’d be a fair, […]

“Who are you going to kill today?”

I’ve gotten several enraged e-mails from rank-and-file SEIU members who have been leaned on by their leaders to campaign against Arizona’s immigration enforcement law. From reader A.: I am a member of SEIU because, as an employee of Los Angeles County I have to be, and today I received an email from their office detailing […]

Daily reaffirmations

First, the good news: The Supreme Court affirmed the Heller decision on the individual right to bear arms and essentially and effectively struck down the city of Chicago’s sweeping gun ban: The Supreme Court ruled for the first time Monday that the Second Amendment provides all Americans a fundamental right to bear arms, a long-sought […]

Here we go again. I’ve long reported on the danger of illegal alien sanctuary city policies embraced by woefully misguided (at best) and criminally reckless public officials seeking to appease the open borders lobby. One of the countless casualties of this deadly pandering was Houston PD officer Rodney Johnson, who shot and killed during a […]

Places, places everyone. Today, the curtain officially opens on the Senate “battle” over Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. “Battle” gets ghost quotes because all the poohbahs on Capitol Hill are already treating her confirmation as a “foregone conclusion.” Beltway Republicans will put up just enough of a fight to placate grass-roots conservative activists on […]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers You may have heard today that West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd has been hospitalized and is described as “seriously ill.” Byrd isn’t up for re-election until 2012, but because the 2010 and 2012 elections will probably carry even more weight than usual as to the ultimate direction of the country, […]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Now that they’re being shunned fairly regularly, at some point, will the majority of the mainstream media ever regret doing Obama’s bidding-by-not-digging and helping carry him into the White House on their shoulders? I didn’t think so: Holed up with seven other global leaders in the woods of Muskoka, Canada, […]

Chilly reception

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Hey, why shouldn’t people who couldn’t even keep the Organizing for America website and Barack Obama’s own Twitter account from being hacked be in charge of Internet security? I seriously doubt that anybody in government would be capable of coming up with a way to shut down Al Gore’s beloved […]

They get the station, you get charged

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Associated Press: Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital Friday after experiencing discomfort, the latest health scare for the 69-year-old Republican leader who has a long history of heart disease. Cheney was expected to remain at George Washington University Hospital over the weekend, said spokesman Peter Long. […]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers When announcing the passage of the Dodd/Frank “financial reform” bill — a fix authored by the same people who helped get the financial system majorly FUBAR in the first place — President Obama really eased my fears when he said this: We’ll put in place the toughest consumer financial protections […]

Just received Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl’s response to geographically-challenged Democrat Milwaukee County Board Supervisor/AZ boycott zealot Peggy West. Heh:

Woo-hoo. Townhall has compiled its list of “100 Americans the Left hates most.” Yours truly came in at #6. Find out who else is on the list here.

Arizona-basher doesn’t know where Arizona is.

My syndicated column today takes aim at open-borders Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. She’s already a familiar character to those of you who read Culture of Corruption (and here’s a reminder of the roll call vote on her Senate confirmation.) *** The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 President […]

Arizona Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords — yes, Democrat — blows the whistle on how the Obama open-borders boycotters are punishing workers in her state. Via Fox News: According to Giffords, the Education Department canceled a convention set for October at a Tucson resort after the Mexican government said it would not send any representatives to […]
