Reason magazine has reported that Senator Rand Paul (It is great to know that there will be Lord willing a Paul in Congress after January!) has introduced this amendment to the NDAA: A citizen of the United States who is captured or arrested in the United States and detained by the Armed Forces of the […]

I like Senator Marco Rubio. He’s a rising star in the GOP. And Senator Rubio is still better than either President Obama or VP Biden. But his speech on foreign policy was terrible. It could have been written by Senator Lindsey Graham. That is no compliment. Here’s the text and some highlights, or maybe lowlights: […]

If Virginians needed a reminder of what a schmuck Tim Kaine is, they need look no further than his most recent fundraising letter. Here is what Kaine had to say about the recent earthquake and hurricane: Two natural disasters – a hurricane and an earthquake – hit Virginia in the past week. Millions lost their […]

Without Tea Party Republicans, Congress wouldn’t be cutting any federal spending, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said. “What I would say to our friends in the Tea Party movement — without them we wouldn’t be having this discussion. We wouldn’t be cutting anything,” McConnell said Monday to Neil Cavuto on Fox News. “But […]

The discussion as far as the debt ceiling seems to have lost. Republicans are caving in at all turns. It would appear that two of the top Republicans (Jon Kyl in the Senate and Eric Cantor in the House) are willing to backtrack on the promise to not increase taxes. In Jon Kyl’s case, he […]

Bloomberg News reports today, “Vice President Joe Biden welcomed congressional leaders for talks to begin ‘the hard business’ of negotiating an agreement on reducing long-term government deficits. . . . The White House doesn’t plan to offer a new proposal beyond the approach President Barack Obama outlined last month to cut $4 trillion from deficits […]

I was not going to blog on this issue but the combination of Senator Warner’s concern about the debt and Senator Sanders (no relation to this blogger!) ridiculous speech on the rich forced my hand. Let’s start with Senator Warner warning Virginians about hard times ahead. The Times-Dispatch reports that Warner was accurate that the […]

Recently, Democrats have been expressing their frustration at a lack of support for their policies. Some key Democrat leaders have apparently decided the reason is because they haven’t been bragging enough about the bills they’ve passed. Last week, President Obama lamented, “[I]t was very difficult for us to spend a lot of time doing victory […]

I used to get so much grief over my support of Cong. Paul from my own people: Fellow believers in Christ. They were against Paul’s foreign policy (they thought noininterventionism was isolationism and vaguely disloyal) and some thought he was not a consistent social conservative. Some also felt that Paul was against Israel and not […]

President Obama and Democrats in Congress are asking the American people trust them that their financial regulation bill ends bailouts, but over the last year Democrats have given Americans numerous reasons to be skeptical. When Congress passed President Obama’s $862 billion stimulus bill, the administration was assuring members that the bill would keep unemployment around […]

The Slaughter Solution is a dagger aimed at the heart of our system of checks and balances. It would enable the Democrats to establish an ominous precedent: The lawmaking process can be rigged to ensure the passage of any legislation without democratic accountability or even a congressional majority. It is the road to a soft […]

Instead, he vowed to “call out” people he deems as “misrepresenting” his plan. About Tom WhiteTom is a US Navy Veteran, owns an Insurance Agency and is […]
