**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Nancy Pelosi recently told the Catholic Community Conference that she has a duty to pursue public policies in keeping with the values of Jesus. Pelosi repeatedly referenced “The Word.” She didn’t, however, tell anyone that the word is “crazy,” but this video makes that quite evident: Kind of like watching [...]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers At the end of last month, California Rep. Joe Baca was urging his House colleagues to “wear bracelets proclaiming their opposition to Arizona’s strict new immigration law.” The bracelet he came up with looks like this: Most confused at first was Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, because the anti-Arizona bracelet clashed [...]

“When statistics are not based on strictly accurate calculations, they mislead instead of guide. The mind easily lets itself be taken in by the false appearance of exactitude which statistics retain even in their mistakes, and confidently adopts errors clothed in the forms of mathematical truth.” — Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, volume 1, [...]

Demcare is not a done deal. They haven’t even released the House version to the public yet, but plan to ram it through on Saturday. Those pesky little details aren’t getting in the way of what’s really important, though. Within 30 minutes of each other, two money-grubbing solicitations in President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s names [...]

Scroll for updates… The gender card is the first and last refuge of House Scoundrel Nancy Pelosi. She’s played it since Day One of her reign of error. She wielded it last week when she surrounded herself with kiddie human shields. And it appears she may be plotting it to use it in the Demcare [...]

Cradle to grave.

Yesterday, Glenn Beck asked me how the Massa Mess affects Americans personally. My answer: Massa-gate isn’t just about Massa. It’s about Nancy Pelosi (full transcript): GLENN: Do you think how I ended the show last night is how I started the show. I said, you have to ask yourself these questions and then you have [...]

You know it. I know it. And everyone disgusted with the culture of corruption in Washington needs to make their voices heard on it. The watchdogs are crippled. CYA is the order of the day. The Beltway has changed nothing since the GOP scandals and is still acting blind, deaf, and dumb toward the Democrat [...]

I talked about Democrat Rep. Pete Stark Raving Mad on Hannity last night — giving a quick review of his infamous outburts and indiscretion, which have been long-chronicled on this blog. The water-carriers at Media Matters took the usual manufactured umbrage at any mention of basket case Stark’s unseemly brush with the House Ethics Committee. [...]

The House Speaker who promised the most ethical Congress ever is stalling on action against corruptocrat Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel. And she’s gone even further by minimizing his ethics violations because they haven’t endangered national security. Business as usual: Rep. Charlie Rangel’s admonishment for violating House gift rules “is not good,” but his actions did [...]

Scroll for updates…GOP Rep. Deal resignation makes House magic number 216…. They’re all in — and they’ve convinced themselves that you do not care about the process. They’ve learned nothing from the Tea Party protests, the town hall revolts, or the Massachusetts election. The White House/Democrat message: Screw you! The White House called for a [...]

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 [...]

Guess how many members of Congress — a swamp teeming with tax cheats, conflict of interest-laden wheeler-dealers, and corner-cutters– have been punished by the House ethics committee? Zero, zip, nada: Nearly three years after Congress approved sweeping ethics rules to “drain the swamp,” as incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, no member of Congress [...]

A spokesman for Nancy Pelosi tries to pull the knife she thrust into President Obama’s back yesterday (via NYT): Asked about Obama’s campaign trail promise [on transparency/C-SPAN], Pelosi remarked, without elaboration, ”There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail.” Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Wednesday it was not a slap [...]

It’s official. The Hill reports this morning that the Dems have formally agreed to bypass the formal conference committee process to ram the government health care plan through for Barack Obama: “Aides said the agreement was reached during a Tuesday evening meeting at the White House with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and [...]

“There has never been a more open process.”

The Tea Party movement is going strong from the reddest of red states to the bluest corners of the country. In the Bay Area, limited government activists have held several large protests since the beginning of the year. Over the weekend, they gathered for a “sick-in” in San Francisco to protest the House health care [...]

Well, the results of an actuarial analysis of the Democrats’ government health care takeover bill are finally out — a week after the House rammed the bill through and buried on a Saturday night. Ho-hum. Nothing to see here except another massive act of generational theft: The House-approved healthcare overhaul would raise the costs of [...]

Via Mike Madden, the Democrats’ House health care proposal on the floor outside Nancy Pelosi’s district office. Message: Kill the bill, tear it up and start over:

Queen Nancy Pelosi reportedly ordered Capitol Hill police to block a GOP staffer from attending the Speaker’s public option announcement on Capitol Hill. Transparency, schmansparency: Power to the people! As always, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Photoshop: Ray D. Know your failure, Nancy. And own it: Speaker Nancy Pelosi counted votes Thursday night and determined she could not pass a “robust public option” — the most aggressive of the three forms of a public option House Democrats have been considering as part of a national overhaul of health care. Pelosi’s decision—coupled [...]

Huh? What? Duh? The Senate de-funded ACORN? Nancy Pelosi says she didn’t know: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday she is clueless about an amendment to prohibit government funds for embattled ACORN, although it overwhelmingly passed the Senate Monday and the White House is calling for the group to be held accountable. “I don’t even [...]
