Virginia Right!

Yes, it sounds like an American election (Virginia has a Isle of Wight County!) but it is the BBC’s report:  UKIP is a factor in Hampshire and Isle of Wight. The most startling factor while looking at the candidates standing in Hampshire is finding the rise of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). When the last [...]

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 [...]

It would be a really great idea if we could get an idea of what people thought and various leanings and the feelings of various groups of citizens. And it would also be wonderful if we had a way to tell if politicians were lying, being truthful or spinning a “fact” to make it seem [...]

You gotta love those Liberals at Public Policy Polling. They do their best to spin the numbers and influence public opinion with their polls. Many media outlets simply report the results without even bothering to let you know that the good folks at PPP are Democratic Pollsters. That doesn’t mean that the polls are not [...]

This must not sit well with the journ-O-list types. Look at how he editorialized  in this excerpt of supposedly straight reporting in an AP story . Americans increasingly are convinced – incorrectly – that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion. In other words those who believe Obama to be a Muslim are wrong and those who are unsure about the presidents religious beliefs are dim-witted idiots wandering through life in a dazed stupor.
