A major blow for global “climate change” efforts, and one has to wonder how much of this decision was influenced by the recent revelations that the scientists representing the “scientific consensus” on global warming were manipulating their data and actively seeking to silence critics.
The defeat by [...]
I hope that he’s right, since this is the strategy we’re pursuing, but given that General McChrystal originally asked for 80,000 more troops for a “low risk” solution I’m not exactly feeling re-assured that Obama has victory in mind here.
West Point, N.Y. — President Barack Obama [...]

[...] Those of us who were opposed to the government “stimulus” spending said that this would happen. We pointed out that government spending really can’t create jobs because the government can’t spend anything without first taking it away from someone else. The jobs this spending appears to create will be fleeting, [...]
What comes around goes around.
PARIS (Associated Press) — The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush in Baghdad last year had a taste of his own medicine Tuesday when he nearly got beaned by a shoe thrower at a [...]
Sure. Just like the liberals told us the debate about anthropogenic global warming was over.
The problem with Dean’s comments is that we’ve already had capitalism and socialism co-existing in this country since at least Roosevelt’s “new deal” era. Social Security. Medicare. LBJ’s “Great Society” programs.
And the reality of all [...]
In the most recent polling in North Dakota on the subject, 85% of North Dakotans said that they oppose the estate tax. And for good reason. While the $3.5 million cap on the estate tax makes it so that few individuals pay [...]
The Prairie Independent is some sort of a liberal magazine here in North Dakota written by liberals for liberals. So it’s not surprising that, smarting from revelations about his deceptions and mistreatment of land owners, State Senator Tracy Potter would flee to their partisan arms for defense. [...]
From the high priest of Climate Change himself, Al Gore:
The fact that this guy is scientifically illiterate (He believes the center of the Earth is millions of degrees hot!), has profited and stands to make obscene amounts more from this scam ought to be enough to discredit the charlatan [...]
Bill Clinton would be proud! Here’s Mike Huckabee with his full “meaning of ‘is’ is” momen:
A tragedy in Lakewood Washington yesterday when four police officers were murdered in an execution style ambush by a gunman who was being sought as we prepared today’s report. Authorities are looking for a man [...]

[...] Of course, this guy also thinks Bush let the 9/11 attacks happen to justify war in Afghanistan, so you have to wonder. Does this guy think bin Laden is guilty of anything? Or is he just the hapless victim [...]
Sure. Of course, the data this “settled” science is based on has been thrown away and the scientists who represent the global warming “consensus” have been caught admitting to manipulating data and suppressing attempts to review and criticize their work.
But if The One says something is settled then it’s settled.
Note [...]
The whole idea of this health care reform is that we’re going to make health care more accessible by bringing costs down. Except, prices won’t actually come down:
Individual insurance premiums would increase by an average of 10 percent or more, according to an analysis' [...]
A few days ago I posted audio of Senator Kent Conrad brushing off a reporter’s questions about trying terrorists in civilian courts here in America and saying that anyone who disagrees with him can “go live somewhere else.”
Here’s the audio again:
Today a caller attempted to [...]
As Governor of Arkansas, 2012 hopeful Mike Huckabee commuted the 94-year sentence of then 17 year old Maurice Clemmons, setting him free. Clemmons is the man currently being sought by authorities for murdering four cops in Washington.
Huckabee is now blaming the criminal justice system [...]
Which doesn’t stack up well to similar numbers for Republicans: Ed Morrissey is calling this an “enthusiasm gap,” which seems perfectly apt given how Obama has fallen down in the polls since he was inaugurated.
Forty percent of' [...]
One of the real travesties of the civil rights movement was watching it be perverted by folks like Jesse Jackson. At some point the movement stopped being about equality and started being about using victimhood as a leverage to shake down deep pockets.
The modus operandi used by Jackson and his [...]
Climate researcher Eduardo Zorita calls for an exclusion of the scientists caught up in the climategate scandal from future work on the IPCC’s climate change initiatives. And he also indicates that this statement will likely earn him more of the bullying and blackmail global warming skeptics have [...]
If they feed too many hungry people that might put some unionized social worker making $85,000/year (plus benefits!) to spend your tax dollars on welfare programs out of work.
Pathetic.
[...]The newspaper industry continues to die (via The Franklin Center):
Executive editor Marcus Brauchli informed staff that “the reporters in those bureaus are being offered new roles here in Washington.” However, three news aides are being let go…
While it may be a sign [...]
First government panels of experts tell us that women should refrain from doing at-home breast exams and should postpone mammograms. Now the elderly are being prohibited from getting flu vaccines.
And this is happening without the government controlling [...]
These are contentious political times, even in stoic North Dakota. There have been no fewer than a dozen “tea party” protests against big government in this state which, I don’t think I need to tell anyone, is not exactly a hot bed of marching-in-the-streets political activism. During the August congressional [...]
That’s right. Even Democrats are growing leery of this bill, and that’s not the least of the bad news from this poll:
Americans currently tilt against Congress’ passing healthcare legislation, with 49% saying they would advise their member to vote against a bill (or they lean that [...]
Iceland became insolvent and threw itself on the grace of the International Monetary Fund earlier this year. Dubai is on the brink of collapse and looking for a bailout from its Arab neighbors. And now comes word that Great Britain is in perilous financial straits [...]
By now you’ve heard of the cowardly assassination of four police officers in Washington.
Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing this morning of four Lakewood police officers, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.
Nine years [...]
President Obama can cancel his jobs summit for later this week. I can sum up what he needs to do in six words:
Lower taxes.
Drill here,
Drill now.
Any questions?

With the economy continuing to struggle, and his economic rescue efforts to date (the “stimulus,” the auto bailouts, the bank bailouts, cash for clunkers, etc.) having collectively failed, Obama is desperate to be taken seriously on economic issues. So in order to get his mojo back, Obama his staging a [...]
Interesting analysis from Warner Todd Huston on Obama’s handling of detained terrorists:
Earlier this month President Obama fired Greg Craig, his main counsel on matters concerning the Guantanamo Bay Facility. And this week Obama sheds another one of his GITMO team with the resignation of Deputy Assistant [...]
But what I find most interesting is, outside of Limbaugh, none of the names got anywhere near even 1/4th of the vote. And Limbaugh barely got it.
NEW YORK (AP) By a wide margin, Americans consider Rush Limbaugh the nation’s most influential conservative voice.
Those are the results [...]
The report states that “former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and top U.S. commander Gen. Tommy Franks held back the necessary forces for a classic sweep-and-block maneuver that could have prevented bin Laden’s escape.”, and later provides an explanation for the choice not to send in the cavalry, “It would have [...]

[...] A minaret is a spire on an Islamic mosque. It has a symbolic use (identifying a building to Muslims as a place of worship) and a practical use (traditionally the muezzin calls Muslims to daily prayer from the top of the minaret).
Think of the steeple and bell on a traditional [...]
Climategate continues to grow as the London Times reports that the scientists who represent the “scientific consensus” on human-caused global warming threw away data that was inconvenient for their findings.
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on [...]
And both get the nod (Bernanke is in the top slot, Obama is second) because of their efforts to fix America’s economy.
Which is more than a little unbelievable. I mean, to put the matter much more simply than it should [...]

And so are Republicans, I guess, but with the Democrats the hypocrisy is particularly acute.
These guys are saying that we may have to raise taxes or cut spending in order to pay for additional troops in Afghanistan. And I’d agree with [...]
No Mark Steyns were harmed or consulted in the making of this commentary.
The inimitable Mark Steyn has been noting a “convergence” between health care and the environment. And he joked earlier that Ed Begley Jr. and Bill Nye, vying [...]
This is absolutely the best comparison of Sarah Palin and Barry Obama I’ve seen anywhere.
Not only that, it calls out Obama with a clarity of thought that would be difficult for even the most rabid leftist to [...]
Which, I think, is the point. They won’t admit it, but the liberals want you to be dependent on the government. The point of food stamps isn’t feeding people who need help. It might have started out with that goal, but these days it’s about creating and promoting a culture [...]
Another moment of planning and economic competence brought to you by the federal government:
WASHINGTON — Two years ago, Congress ordered the nation’s gasoline refiners to do something that is turning out to be mathematically impossible.
To please the farm lobby and to help wean the nation off oil, Congress [...]

But, even to a lay person, something doesn’t seem to pass the smell test on the following two temperature charts. From New Zealand’s primary climate advisory unit NIWA (National Institute of [...]
Cato’s Michael Cannon notes that there are two primary budgeting tricks being used by Democrats to conceal the true cost of their health care bill.
The first trick has to do with timing. In the analysis of the cost of the bill the Democrats are using they [...]
This is the Thanksgiving story that should be taught in our classrooms.
Many people believe that after suffering through a severe winter, the Pilgrims’ food shortages were resolved the following spring when the Native Americans taught them to plant corn and a Thanksgiving celebration resulted. In fact, the pilgrims [...]
