As the Benghazi hearings begin anew on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, it is worth remembering that Dave Weigel of Slate.com, the former Journolist member who delights in attempting to debunk conservative narratives, declared in December that Republican suspicions of a Benghazi cover-up by the Obama administration were “pure fiction.” Weigel cited the report on the [...]
A Congressional watchdog group called LegiStorm has announced a sweeping new project aimed at government transparency. But part of that project has staffers on Capitol Hill crying foul because it lists all their private Twitter accounts. On April 3, LegiStorm announced its new StormFeed tool saying it is a, “real-time, full-text searchable access to every [...]
Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat leader of the House of Representatives and former Speaker of the House, is defending a faked photograph released on Thursday showing the “diversity” of the Female members of the Democrat delegation to Congress. The photo featuring “all” the Democrat women of the House standing on the steps outside the Capital building [...]
One of my favorite stories this week is the college professors at Pennsylvania’s Community College of Allegheny who’ve had their hours cut because of the costly requirements of Obamacare. One of Obamacare’s changes to general business practices is to make people who work 30 hours or more a “full time worker.” For generations that magic [...]
Now you have the chance to give San Fran Lib Nancy Pelosi a message — you know, the former Speaker of the House, heh, I LOVE to say former. Yes, you really have the opportunity to send Pelosi a message. And you might be lucky enough to have your message flashed onto a mobile electronic [...]
It sure sounds like it, though that’s not what they’re calling it. They’re not actually calling it anything, which makes it all the more suspicious. CHICAGO, July 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., who disclosed recently that he has been on medical leave since early June with an unspecified condition, is grappling with [...]
Democrats and left-wing activists have lately been pushing the idea of “equal pay” for women in an attempt to find some issue that would take attention away from the horrible economic record of the Obama administration as the campaign for the White House heats up. But who really benefits from this push? Trial lawyers, of [...]
Ten years ago this month the Democrats defeated the bill that would have allowed us to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve (ANWR). So it’s happy anniversary to the loss of our energy independence once again. It turns out that the tenth anniversary is known as the “tin” anniversary in that wonderful [...]
Now the very same accused criminal that Chicago Democrats wanted people to vote for in Tuesday’s primary is being pressured to to step down from his office now that he won — pressured by the exact same Democrat officials that told people to vote for him only three days ago. This particular story is a [...]
Once again Indiana Democrats are playing the fleebagger game. Because they don’t have enough votes in the Indiana Statehouse, Hoosier Democrats are abandoning their rightful duties and fleeing the Capitol over Indiana’s right-to-work bill currently under consideration in Indianapolis. Indiana Senate Bill 269 and House Bill 1001 would make it illegal to require workers in [...]
Oh, Andrew Breitbart, you scamp, you’ve done it again. This time, Breitbart sicced one of his “Big” editors on the scam of members of Congress using confidential information to engage in some pretty sweet and profitable inside trading in the financial markets. And that investigation was tremendously revealing. Now, the first thing that [...]
[T]he whole stinking mess [Operation Fast and Furious / Gunwalker] hits most of my hot buttons and plays on my contempt for the lawlessness of 0bama and his flunkies.
The Washington [com]Post obviously has the mirror image of my issues, but is demonstrably less concerned about being blinded by its prejudices.
Positively Orwellian. All pigs are equal under the law, but the law does not apply to congress pigs?
In the never ending din of new coverage about the shootings in Tuscon yesterday, the punditry and politicians are revealing themselves to be the true villains. First, and most reflexively,…

The Democratic strategy for winning, or at least, minimizing losses during the 2010 mid-term election, consists of three things: 1) Blame Bush 2) Keep calling the Republican representatives in Congress…
