Senator Rand Paul Wants To See The Drone Memos

No matter what your opinion of Senator Paul, you do have to admire that when he goes after an issue, he doesn’t just trump it then forget it. Ever since his filibuster on drones, of which he wrote that it was just the beginning, he’s continued with the subject. He cares heavily on the subject […]

Washington Post: NC Senate Race Most Important In Country

The front page of the Washington Post by Dan Baltz says the race for the Senate seat currently occupied by Kay Hagan is the most important in 2014. The individual page says it sets the stage for the 2016 presidential election. Maybe, maybe not. Either way, or no way, it certainly highlights the difference between […]

On Obamacare Repeal: In Defense Of Rand Paul And Cathy McMorris-Rodgers

There’s been quite a few verbal barbs aimed at Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, the #4 Republican in the House, over comments about reforming Obamacare rather than repealing it. Allahpundit writes Interestingly, it’s Cathy McMorris-Rodgers’s comments about “reforming” rather than repealing the O-Care exchanges that drew most of the blog chatter this weekend, not Rand’s equally eyebrow-raising remarks […]

Politifact Finds Kay Hagan’s Tom Tillis Ad “Mostly False”

North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan has found herself in deep trouble for her re-election chances, primarily due to her continued support of, and vote for, Obamacare, ie the “Affordable” Care Act. Tom Tillis is, with all due respect to the other Republicans fighting for the GOP nomination, the strongest in the field. So, what else […]

NY Times: NC Shows Strains Within GOP Or Something

Obviously, it would be too much to ask for the NY Times to have an article on either their web front page and/or dead tree edition about the situation in Nevada between the BLM, Cliven Bundy, and all the supporters. No, what’s really important is to manufacture some type of civil war going on in […]

NY Times Still Very Concerned Over Christie “Lane Closures”

There’s nothing like beating a dead horse. Obviously, the Times cares a bit because a) this happened in the NY Times local area, and b) it’s a chance to smear Christie, a possible GOP 2016 candidate, and c) a chance to smear a Republican governor. The last two are Important for other media (read Leftist) […]

Romney: “Able leaders anticipate events…”

In 2008 another wise man said: “The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.” Too bad Obama is receiving an F, because he makes America look bad (WSJ) Why, across the world, are America’s hands so tied? A large part of the answer is our leader’s terrible timing. In virtually every foreign-affairs […]

Sarah Palin Discusses Obama’s Mom Jeans And Equivocation On Russia

A bit of red meat (Mediaite) Sarah Palin sat down with Sean Hannity Monday night for a victory lap of sorts, touting her 2008 comments about Russia capitalizing on a weak Barack Obama presidency to amass power. Palin believed she was vindicated, saying Russia exploited “Obama’s weak leadership.” She said, “Anybody who carries the common-sense […]
