When I think about the fact the national debt crisis is the most avoidable crisis since Y2K, our avoidance of it makes me sick.  Our national debt has officially exceeded 100% of GDP and reached 15 trillion dollars.  Americans have been fed a line that Republicans refuse  to work with Democrats.  Tea Party Republicans are intransigents and would [...]

It is unforgivable that House Republicans are not voting on Obama jobs bills, we are told, but that the fact that the Senate Democrats refuse to vote on 15 bills passed by the House is not even worthy of mention.  Even President Obama recognized that some of those ideas were good.  Why won’t Harry Reid [...]

The President’s new hardline strategy is falling short with some Democrats which is a reminder that he could not get these same demands when Democrats ran everything. Why he thinks a party elected based upon opposition to his policies will buy it hook line and sinker defies logic if you believe it has anything to [...]

Former Assistant Deputy Navy Secretary Wade Sanders – the man who introduced Senator John Kerry in 2004 as a hero has been convicted on child porn charges.   Is that reflective of today’s Democratic Party?  I think not, but if he were a Republican I am sure that it would be made to appear so.

Traditionally, I like to do an April Fools’ day post.   This year, I cannot think of anything crazier than real life.   It seems like the leaders of the Democrat party have gotten crazier after the election.  In Delaware, the Democrats have been caught covering up widespread discrimination in their government.   They got rid of the [...]

Senator Claire McCaskill owes $287,000 in personal property taxes on her personal plane.  It is the same plane that she admitted to improperly billing taxpayers to the tune of $88,000.   I have sympathy for the Senator.  The Saint Louis County personal property tax is egregious and just discourages the purchase and maintenance of such property [...]

During my morning devotions I happened to read The Song of Solomon chapter 6 and verse 11 speaks of the Garden of Nuts.  For some reason, my mind went to the U. S. Senate.   Could it be because the U. S. Senate has yet to pass a budget or even a permanent funding resolution (CR) [...]

The GOP has a net positive image with the public for the first time since 2005 according to Gallup.  Other polling shows John Boehner is the most popular figure in the government by a net positive measure with Mitch McConnell not far behind.  Real Clear Politics has the GOP with a healthy lead in the generic [...]

House Democrats are fighting the Deal between the administration and Republicans which shows it must be a good deal.   The CBO  predicts  7 FIGURE job loss if Democrats get their way and even Larry Summers says there is “a material risk the economy stalls”.  Democrats are determined to get us back to 10% U-3  unemployment.  [...]

Senate Democrats are 100% correct that at the beginning of the new Congress they can change the rules on a simple majority vote.  It is interesting that now that Democrats have lost their super majority for the foreseeable future, some of them want to change the rules.  That seems to the motif of Democrats lately.  [...]

Both parties  are in debt after going all out for 2010.  Interestingly, it only seems an issue on the GOP side where opponents are grasping for ammunition to unseat Chairman Steele.

So said a House Ethics Panel today. Rangel was not at the verdict today. He protested that he needed more time than the two years granted and new attorneys. They did him a favor. The current majority is not talking expulsion as a punishment. They delayed the hearing until after the election and have taken [...]

This is why he may lose a safe seat.  He warped the submit stuff so badly by splicing it that it said the opposite of the man’s intention in the slightest reference to context.  If a Republican had done this, the entire party would be asked to distance themselves from him.  Ron Paul’s faith was likewise attacked.   [...]

Read this chilling account of systematic abuse of power by the ruling party. Democrats are using threats of boycots and worse the power of government agencies to intimidate businesses and other opponents. What happened to the outrage of Nixon misusing the agencies of government to wave off McGovern donors? What used to be universally condemned [...]

Is the House gone?  That is what Democrat strategists are privately conceding. The candidates don’t believe it, but the staffers are looking for work just in case. More than an 100 seats are in play and the DCCC just bought ads in 54 districts. There is a saying in battle that if your men think [...]

Radical Democrat Congressman Peter Stark-CA was asked a simple question by one of his constituents. What limits would remain on the federal government if Congress could get away with passing a bill as destructive of individual rights as Obamacare? Congressman Stark gave an answer which even shocked his constituency. “I think that there are very [...]

Democrats pushed through the latest gambit to extend unemployment benefits.  I have no objections to the extension, but I do object to a 34 billion dollar bill costing  around 83.4 billion and 50 billion in new taxes.  Democrats use the unemployed like a human shield to push through spending and pork that would not make it [...]

Nothing is quite as funny as the way Democrats react when their apple cart gets upset.  Such is the case of the winner of the South Carolina Democrat Primary for the U.S. Senate Seat, former Army and Air Force Veteran Alvin Greene.  Mr. Greene has been vilified by Democrats throughout the nation.  It seems no one [...]

Supreme Court nominee Kagan opposed a ban on partial birth abortion.  She however signed on to a compromise which allowed a physical health exception after viability and urged President Clinton to sign on to it.   It is considered worrisome by the abortion caucus of Democrat party. The fact the woman is not insanely for abortion [...]

I guess Hawaii costs less than D. C. and had better weather. The DNC spent 176K for their D. C. extravaganza. Both parties spent over an 100k for their retreats and strategy sessions. The Democrats in the very expensive city of Washington D. C. (so the President wouldn’t have to travel), and the Republicans at [...]

Pelosi’s husband received 100K from his wife’s PAC. His take increased 4 fold when he became treasurer. Ironically, Pelosi said she favored banning spouses from receiving money from candidate organizations, maybe she was trying to save herself money. Will Democrats criticize O’Donnell with a straight face for legal reimbursements? Yes, but the rest of us [...]

Nancy Pelosi and company are leading the lambs to the slaughter. They are defying the will of the people. They are in a dream world in which they think that people just misunderstand health care reform. They claim that people are for the bill when it is broken down into some parts and polled. That [...]

Governor Markell and the Democrat Governors were pushing the bipartisan jobs bill and decrying the partisanship in Washington. Markell said to Foxnews, Republican lawmakers have effectively put Obama on his heels by blocking Democratic initiatives. “The challenge has been to get through the clutter of ‘No,”‘ he said. Interestingly, he ignored that Republicans did not block [...]
