Today we got yet another disappointing jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At first glance, the claims of 162,000 jobs created and that unemployment “edges down” to 7.4% seem like a positive thing, but only a slightly deeper look reveals how poorly the economy continues to perform under President Obama. The drop in […]
With a chance to defund it, conservatives in the U.S. Senate have put their colleagues on notice that it is time to stand with the majority of Americans who oppose the job-killing Obamacare law. As Senator Mike Lee of Utah said Tuesday on the Senate floor: “Defund it, or you own it. If you fund […]
I am going to be honest with you: I didn’t expect anything new from President Obama’s speech showcasing his 19th “pivot” to jobs. So I wasn’t at all surprised to hear the same rhetoric and tired talking points the President used throughout his 2008 and 2012 campaigns. He blamed decades of failings in Washington, and […]
The City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in federal court July 18, signifying the official advent of failure from one of America’s most liberal cities. January 2, 1962 was the last day that a Republican held the mayor’s office, and the city has been under uninterrupted Democrat and union rule ever since. What was once […]
With compelling testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee’s IRS hearings today, two IRS employees confirmed the reports cam from top IRS lawyers in Washington, D.C. Carter Hull, who worked at the IRS for 48 years in D.C., testified he was given two critical Tea Party “test case” applications as the nefarious targeting began. […]
Every young musician and garage band strives to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. I guess now every young terrorist can have the same dream. In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, the suspected Boston terrorist Dzhohkar Tsarnaev ‘s face graces the cover of this once iconic music magazine. This is disgusting and completely […]

Thursday July 11th marked the ten month anniversary of the terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. I have not forgotten. Nor have I forgotten that’s it’s been 65 days since the last public congressional hearing on Benghazi (Victoria Nuland’s confirmation hearing last week notwithstanding).

Last week’s news that the Obamacare employer mandate deadline has been postponed a year was followed by this week’s announcement that health care markets will not be required to verify consumer’s income and health insurance information in order to get coverage. Read more at Cagle Post here.
Much of the D.C. brain trust has concluded that the IRS targeting scandal doesn’t need a special counsel to do the investigating. The folks who are against the appointment of a special counsel, for whatever reason, are happy to allow Attorney General Eric Holder to continue to run the criminal investigation from inside the conflicted […]
I don’t miss the irony that during the Forth of July, a day celebrating freedom, one group of people is using their First Amendment right to take another’s away. We went to the Supreme Court because the government was oppressing our free speech. We won. Those who continue to not accept the will of the […]
December 31, 2013. That was the date the Obamacare employer mandate was supposed to legally go in effect, per the legislation passed by Congress. Yesterday, in a Fourth of July week news dump, the White House announced the date had been moved (by Executive Order) to 2015 which is after the 2014 midterm elections. It […]
