There are lots of figures being thrown around.

The line of protesters […]

An Un-American Display? No Way To Treat A President?

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post opinion writer, apparently thinks history started on January 20, 2009. On the Opinions front page, the article is entitled “An Un-American Display,” while in the screeching single page, it is called “No Way To Treat A President.” Anyone who watched Wednesday night as President Obama explained his health-care reform proposals to […]

AGW Today: That Coming Ice Age

Surprise! Obama Admin Knew In Advance About Release Of Lockerbie Bomber

Do you know what happens when an American administration starts off by offending the Queen, the British P.M., the British press, and the British people as a whole? Then decides it is going to get all snappy over an issue? Yeah, they’ll get a nasty response from the British leaders (H/t Atlas Shrugs) Downing Street […]

U.S Cuts Off Non-Humanitarian Aid To Honduras Officially

The only thing shocking about this is that Hillary Clinton didn’t go and call what happened the other month a coup.

Washington Post Notices Obama Tax Pledges Might Get Broken

Since then, a severe recession, massive deficits and a national debt […]

ACLU Forces Release Of Yet Another Secret Document That Endangers Americans

According to two sources—one who has read a draft of […]

LA Times Misses The Irony In Labeling ObamaNuts “Grassroots”

At one point, the Obama voters were grassroots. But, ever since he started gaining traction during the primaries, the organization has grown stronger and more controlling, especially when you add groups such as ACORN and SEIU into the mix. I’m just wonder if Pete Wallsten of the LA Timeseven read what he wrote. We all […]

Unemployment Dips, The Recession Is Over! All Hail Obama!

OK, a little over the top, but, you know that is the thought going through the vacuous heads of liberals everywhere Employers throttled back on layoffs in July, cutting just 247,000 jobs, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate dipped to 9.4 percent, its first decline in 15 months.
