The legislatively impotent Eric Cantor will approve the full funding of Obamacare before this final battle is done. Mark my words. While Ted Cruz plans to do what he can to defund Obamacare in the Senate, most give him little chance of success, since Mitch McConnell is solidly in favor of funding Obamacare and thwarting […]

We apparently did not learn the lesson from the Magistsky Act mess.  At least the senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, didn;t learn the lesson:  Stop meddling!  Instead he has doubled down on Russia in regards to the Snowden mess: Republican senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News that Russia should “hold this fellow and send […]

John Boehner’s Filet Mignon with Brown Onion Gravy Recipe Go to your local deli and ask them to slice a roll of bologna about 1 1/2 inches thick. One slice per person. Sear the bologna over high heat in a cast iron skillet until dark brown on both sides. Set the bologna “fillets” aside and […]

It seems official. Barack Obama has weaponized the IRS along with the Justice Department and the EPA – to name just a few. During the 2010 State of the Union address, Obama bemoaned the Supreme Court’s decision in the Citizens United case that overturned part of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform law. (Is it really […]

This weekend former war POW turned nut-job US Senator John McCain ventured behind enemy lines in Syria to meet with the “Rebels”. The fact is, Syria is not a friend of the US and definitely not a friend of Israel. And as we have seen, the “Arab Spring” that was supposed to usher in some […]

Both the Weekly Standard (which I do not fully trust) and the Wall Street Journal (which I trust more) have called for a biometric ID card for ALL US workers to prove they have legal status.  Here’s the Weekly Standard’s quoting the WSJ: The Journal writes that “at least five of the eight senators writing […]

When Ron Paul ran for President, many laughed or scorned him when he suggested that unnecessary intervention in other nations’ business.   We do many things that have consequences for us.  Maybe we’ll learn one day:  Non-intervention is best!  But not December 2012 apparently – as the Russian adoption flap shows. The Russian adoption law recently […]

It never fails. When the Republicans lose an election, they always start listening to the Liberal media telling them that they are too far to the right. They toss principles out the window and run to the left. And it never works. And even worse, instead of gaining support and popularity, they end up alienating […]

I (along with about 500 million others!) get the mail from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association with the latest news.  I admire Rev. Billy Graham and also his son, Franklin.  I have read and re-read Franklin Graham’s autobiography, Rebel With A Cause (Here it is if you want to order it!  I recommend it! and […]

Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. And by that definition Republicans have suffered from insanity for the past two election cycles. John McCain was a horribly liberal candidate and Barack Obama handed him his head on a platter by being the bold colors to McCain’s pastel shades of Liberalism. […]

Reuters writes today, “Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress expressed surprise and doubt on Tuesday about President Barack Obama’s comment in debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney that the automatic spending cuts set for the new year ‘will not happen.’”   Obama said, “First of all, the sequester is not something I proposed, it’s something that […]

This article about Serbia got my blood boiling so I decided to finally say it:  President Obama, make an apology that I will heartily support!  To Serbia for our attack on their nation for no reason!  The USA never did something like that before (unless you count the Civil War and that is problematic due […]

I got this email from Governor Bobby Jindal (along with thousands of others of course!) but I wondered:  Maybe the GOP nominee should consider this governor as Vice President: Friends – It is time to give President Obama credit for keeping a commitment. This is, for this President, a pretty remarkable achievement.  I am not […]

Cruelty. Brutality. Bashar al-Assad is a brutal dictator who is killing his people. John McCain thinks we should go in and put a stop to all this. Save the poor Syrian people. Why? What’s in it for America? Stopping brutal killings? Well, there’s that. But as we have seen in every Arab country that has […]

Here’s the voice of the neo-con warmongers:  The Weekly Standard.  Edited in part by Bill Kristol, who once said that you were not a true conservative if you did not support the war in Kosovo (where our NATO sock puppet attacked a sovereign nation for no reason); of course, the true conservatives OPPOSED that war.

In a position I fully expect Sen. Lindsey Graham to fully support by Wednesday, Senator John McCain called for air strikes against Syria to protect civilians: “The time has come for a new policy,” McCain said during remarks on the Senate floor. “The United States should lead an international effort to protect key population centers […]

Virginian’s only have two choices in tomorrow’s primary. And that is an absolute shame. The “establishment” Democrats and Republicans have stacked the deck to give the best possible chance to the “anointed” candidate of either party and make the bar nearly impossible for anyone else. If Virginia Republicans had their way, Mitt Romney would be […]
