Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Darryl Issa has tweeted out one of the most appalling photographs I’ve ever seen emerge from the United States House of Representatives. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. You remember what happened on that day, don’t you?
Continue readingI have to admit that, with all the ferocity that an anonymous armchair warrior can muster, I like the idea of a House budget defunding ObamaCare while keeping everything else in the government funded. The Senate, of course, won’t go along with that, and then there’ll be a stalemate. The
Continue readingKeith Koffler has been around Washington, D.C., for a very long time, and he has a theory about Congress’s remarkable silence regarding both events in Syria and Obama’s huffery and puffery regarding events in Syria. Let me just say that his theory is not pretty. Indeed, it’s disgusting, and embarrassing,
Continue readingIn my earlier post today, I said that, in the wake of the lies the Gang of Eight told, followed by the Senate’s passage of a 1,200 page immigration bill that will go a long way to destroying the American working class, the Republicans have tearfully promised never to be
Continue readingYesterday, Rand Paul embarked upon a nearly 12-hour-long standing filibuster. The filibuster’s ostensible purpose and practical effect was to delay a vote on John Brennan’s nomination to head the CIA. It’s real purpose, though, was to force Attorney General Eric Holder to answer a straightforward question: “Does the President have
Continue reading(To win over the electorate, conservatives have to be seen as a party with fresh ideas that benefit all Americans. This is the first in a series of Tipping Point posts, promoting ideas that will appeal to all voters, while becoming signature initiatives for conservatives and Republicans.) Did you know
Continue readingFrom the first day Sen. Elizabeth Warren showed up on the national political scene, I’ve reminisced about what a dreadful teacher she was. In post after post, I’ve noted that, while she was very nice (she is a nice lady in a one-on-one), she was totally incoherent as a teacher.

Continue reading(You can read more about Emken here, or at her own website.) As usual, Dianne Feinstein is nowhere to be seen when there is hard work to be done, so Elizabeth Emken went ahead and had the debate without her: The fact that DiFi is a no-show has nothing to
Continue readingFor many years, I have counted Andrea Shea King — the Radio Patriot — as one of my closest blog friends. By this I mean that, although I haven’t met her, I’ve corresponded with her for so many years that I’ve come to know her well and to respect her
Continue readingLorie Byrd has been a long-time blog friend of mine. You guys probably know her from her blog, her Wizbang posts, and the articles she’s had published in major conservative online sites. Back in 2008, Lorie started working for then-candidate Renee Ellmers, who has been one of the stalwarts of
Continue readingSome of us thought, “Yay, Barney Fwank is leaving.” Sure, we know that his constituents will elect someone equally liberal to fill his old seat, but that person will lack Barney Fwank’s seniority. Sadly, others with Fwank’s seniority remain behind in the House of Representatives. So it very much looks
Continue readingThose in the know are saying that tonight will be bye-bye to someone big in Congress. This could be interesting.
Continue readingApparently the passions that burned in voters’ breasts in 2010 have yet to burn themselves out in 2011. In a very Jewish district (Jews! The Democrat stalwarts!) Republican Bob Turner took over Anthony Weiner’s seat (although I hope he disinfects it well before he sits down on it). This election
Continue readingWeiner was tap-dancing so fast for the last few days he made Fred Astaire look like a piker. We all knew he was lying. Today finally saw the denouement: more photos (some x-rated), more texts, more women, and a full confession. The only thing missing was the one thing the
