CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood: we embrace our enemies and repel our allies. And there can only be one explanation for that: “we” aren’t being represented in that formulation; instead, “they” — our Marxist government and it’s multi-pronged approach to bringing down a Superpower — are embracing their allies and repelling their enemies. This explains the depth of the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration into our government: “we” let them in. Once you

Vindication: A Texas Court of Appeals in Austin has overturned the conviction of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, attorney Brian Wice told KVUE sister station KHOU 11 News. DeLay, 66, was convicted in 2010 for his alleged role in a scheme to influence Texas elections. He was found guilty of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering after he was accused of helping funnel corporate money to

Albeit tentatively. Because make no mistake: the House leadership has decided reluctantly to go ahead with the defunding of ObamaCare only because they couldn’t find another way out — be it with phony symbolic votes, orchestrated attacks from GOP establishment types (both in office and in the media apparatus they use to constrain the Hobbits), or through dissembling about the legality and even possibility of the defunding plan.

Then he got himself dead. I think that about nutshells it. So even as the progressive media and many in Congress continue to lie about the use of “assault rifles” or “AR-15” (which we who actually own and shoot firearms more commonly group in the category “rifles”), the truth is now out:   Aaron Alexis, a liberal and a man who, if Obama had a son, he might look like, took

Bill is running his first fundraiser in over two years.  If you have a bit of extra coin to spare for the guy who coined the term “blogosphere” and who stands on principle in very much the same way I do — pissing off the same types of people in the process — please go help out.  I’ll be making a donation myself.  As soon as I fish my wallet

Clearly, God wasn’t happy that the naive and presumptuous Visigoths used their mob siege powers to overtake and depose two sitting Democratic Senators, including the Senate President, for failing to represent them and for running their initial campaigns under false pretenses. And by “God,” I of course me global climate change and all its accoutrements:  rain, wind, flash floods, hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, microbursts, heavy snowfall, very low temperatures, tsunamis,

Jim Pethokoukis: Almost all media reports about the Congressional Budget Office’s new long-term budget analysis will highlight its forecast that the federal public debt, now about 73% of GDP, is on track to reach 100% of GDP in 2038. Now that’s scary enough. As Maya MacGuineas of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget puts it: “Today’s report confirms exactly what we have been warning — that the debt is on an
