In addition to our tax hiking Governor McDonnell and Lt. Gov. Bolling, there were a total of 42 Republicans that voted for the largest tax hike in Virginia history. As soon as voters showed enough trust to grant the Republicans effective control of the Senate and complete control of the House, these same Republicans abandoned […]

In the event I were to ever run for office as a Libertarian (or as a Republican for that matter) I would make this a part of my platform: No DWI checkpoints in Virginia. Period. Stopping people at random at a checkpoint, however noble the intent, is contrary to the spirit and letter of the […]

I do not have much time to blog today but I thought this report and blog is worth reading! Here’s a highlight: Back in 2009, Rudd negotiated pointlessly for 40 hours, grabbing just one hour of sleep. This year’s Australian delegates don’t go for that sort of nonsense. “They made an intervention that late-night negotiations […]

I was thrilled to read this story. I would probably if this was some other respected leader having these views about sports shouting it loud and long! But it is Pope Francis. And he deserves special respect. So I will be guardedly enthusiastic about it. But here is the Vatican report and another Catholic report […]

First, I am embarrassed that I nearly missed another Waste Of Time, as I like to call UN Climate Conferences (Hey, where has YOUR mayor been lately?) and this one is in one of my favorite places I pray Jesus will allow me to go to: Warsaw, Poland. (I’d start first with the Ronald Reagan […]

NCIS is a wildly popular TV show that I end up listening to at home. I have documented earlier on this blog my concerns about the cavalier treatment on NCIS and its spinoffs, especially NCIS/LA, of suspects, especially terror suspects, as educating the people that a police state is not so bad. (Hollywood who would […]

There is an interesting article about the new Trotskyist elected to the Seattle City Council in the LA Times. Here’s a highlight or two and my thoughts: “We don’t need the executives!” cried Seattle’s first elected Socialist in living memory, as the damp crowd cheered and rush-hour traffic hummed slowly by. “We need Boeing to […]

It is now this time of year when we have survived Halloween and how firmly into the season of Hallmark holiday (Thanksgiving and Christmas [with probably a Hanukkah movie in too!] of course) movies – almost all great romances – boy meets girl in various situations and they end up a couple. Harmless (well mostly […]

I saw this report and so did my wife – she said, “You are going to blog about this thing, aren’t you?” Since the correct answer is always, “Yes, dear,” here it is! The report, at both Gawker and Weighty Matters, is that a Manitoban mom, who packed her child’s lunch with roast beef, potatoes, […]

Reader Submitted Post The problems with Obamacare continue to mount. 1. Fox reports that colleges have had to cancel health insurance for students because Obamacare coverage requirements make the insurance premiums prohibitively expensive. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/18/students-suffer-sticker-shock-from-obamacare/ . This is, of course, the same basic reason for the well publicized cancellation of individual policies. 2. Fox also reports […]

Salon and Independent Political Report has a fascinating story about the first open socialist elected in decades to a big-city council – in that home of Starbucks, Seattle Washington. And they don’t call it the Left Coast for nothing! For the next two or four years, city council meetings will be reality TV for political […]

User Submitted. This video just came out and it is unbelievable! Wait until you see Obama in his teal leather “gay” outfit. The woman that knew Barry Soetoro growing up is being interviewed by Dr. Manning, a black minister and radio host. It will be interesting to see where this goes from here. Mia Marie […]

I understand the Harrisburg Patriot-News newspaper in 2013 is retracting a famous (or infamous) editorial in 1863 concerning the Gettysburg Address by that President who should not be named! Here’s the Fox article and a highlight or two: One-hundred and fifty years after Abraham Lincoln passionately appealed for the preservation of the union in the […]

Despite President Obama’s lengthy excuse-ridden press conference yesterday to try to announce a “fix” to an Obamacare provision that violates a promise he made repeatedly that “If you have health insurance and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period,” editorial pages were decidedly unimpressed. […]

Say it ain’t so! New York Times turns on Obama: …The disastrous rollout of [Obama's] health care law not only threatens the rest of his agenda but also raises questions about his competence in the same way that the Bush administration’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency. Man. I bet […]
