Satch’s Olympic wrestling camp begins today

So I’ll be gone for the next several days, helping out and doing some coaching. The fundraiser hasn’t had any contributions since Tuesday or Wednesday, so just kind of ignore it.  I’ll remove the post later when I get a chance, but I really am on my way out the door. In my absence, remember:  it’s who they are.  It’s what they do. Don’t be surprised or even outraged.  Just

“There is no longer such a thing as presidential ethics.” [Darleen Click]

Victor Davis Hanson explains how Obama has turned Aristotelian ethics on its head Presidential ethics are now situational. Obama is calling for a shield law to protect reporters from the sort of harassment that his attorney general, Eric Holder, and the FBI practiced against Fox News and the Associated Press. Through such rhetoric, he remains a staunch champion of the First Amendment — even though he now has the ability

On NSA data collection

Again, the scope here seems broad, but then I suspect it has to be, for any meaningful connections to be identified by the NSA.  The warrant came in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings.  And while I’m sympathetic to the argument that perhaps we’d be better off merely collecting data on, say, Islamists who happen to be on government assistance, we all know that such “profiling” violates our PC

“36 House Republicans uphold Davis-Bacon prevailing wages”

Americans for Limited Government: Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement blasting 36 House Republicans for defeating an amendment to an appropriations bill that would have repealed the 82-year old Davis-Bacon prevailing wages mandate for federal contractors: “Prevailing wages demand that the U.S. Department of Labor set the cost for labor for federal government construction contractors rather than having the taxpayers get the benefit of

Obama nominee for UN Ambassador promoted US force against Israel

Let me say this plainly:  a man who grew up basted in communism; spent his formative academic years studying socialism, black liberation theology, critical race theory, and Orientalism; sat in the pews of a church whose pastor preached anti-Americanism, racial separatism, and anti-Semitism; then entered the academy as faculty to rub shoulders with the radical chic lefties of all stripes, the majority of whom self-select based in part on their

Upside down world: Sebellius acts the part of conservatives; conservatives cry for statism

I’ve resisted commenting on the story of the 10-year-old girl and her need of a lung transplant, mostly because when I first heard of it I believed HHS Secretary Sebellius was (happily!) correct:  it isn’t, nor should it be, in her control to throw around waivers:  there are established protocols for organ donation and scores issued for where people are placed on lists precisely because we wish to remove the

“Report: Gov’t scooping up Verizon phone records”

FISA, the return! The National Security Agency has been collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top secret court order, according to a report in Britain’s Guardian newspaper. The order was granted by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on April 25 and is good until July 19, the newspaper reported Wednesday. The order requires Verizon, one of the nation’s largest telecommunications companies, on

Left-feminist lesbian heckler of Michelle Obama blasted as demonstrating “white privilege” [Darleen Click]

Live by identity politics, die by identity politics. Blogger Gene Demby assembled tweets demonstrating that many NPR listeners thought Michelle Obama’s lesbian heckler Ellen Sturtz was employing “white privilege” and the media coverage seemed racist. When Michelle Obama squared off with a heckler at a private fundraiser last night, the racial context was hard to ignore: a white woman yelling at the country’s most visible black woman and that same

“The president’s dishonesty, incompetence, vengefulness and lack of moral compass lead many to suggest that he is not fit to lead.”

This is how you do it: Keep an eye on this kid. He is one of us. (h/t Mark Levin)

Hey, parents! Here’s what you’re taking out that second mortgage for!

So, you mean the feds, like, totally fucked over a number of our fellow citizens? Awesome! Because we’ve been taught that like, the people who were rightly fucked over by a government adored by Hollywood thinkers and socially-conscious green-adoring pop singers, are racist subhuman extremists, anyway — and it is perfectly acceptable to be intolerant of intolerance, to hate hate hate the hateful hatey haters. Hell, even a number of
