Dodd makes JW’s Top 10 corrupt politicians
Judicial Watch has come out with its list of the Top 10 most corrupt politicians. Not many surprises although I guess taking payoff money for Nebraska doesn’t count. H/T to Hotair for the leg work. Read Ed’s take. Pretty good. Chris Dodd is number one on the list … unfortunately, it’s alphabetical. 1. Senator Christopher Dodd…
Read MoreWhy Does Interpol Need Immunity from American Law?
This one probably escaped the notice of everyone except the most keenly aware. Count our friend Andrew McCarthy as one of those. McCarthy notes that President Reagan, in 1983, afforded protections to INTERPOL, much like those afforded Diplomats. But Reagan, understood that some protections needed to be withheld, and he did. Specifically, Interpol’s property and…
Read MoreFarms to forests – climate legislation economic impact
Another good example of how government regulation – in this case climate change legislation – can have unintended consequences, specifically higher food prices.
Read MoreLieberman to terrorists: preemptive strike
Senator Joe Lieberman seems to understand the gravity of the situation. Get them before they get us. The terrorists are not suspects and their acts are not alledged, they are intent on killing all of us. Joe knows this not because he is a wicked smahhhht analyst. He knows it because they have told us…
Read MoreOblivious
I just got the chance to listen to the entire speech given by the young President yesterday and I must say I was stunned. Either Mr. Obama is completely oblivious to the reality of the war on terror, or he is so convinced in his approach to fighting terror that he refuses to even recognize…
Read MoreDodd: We Senators are kinda like war heroes.
Last week we posted Newt Gingrich’s speech where he called on Americans not to give up the fight to stop an out of control expanding government. Don’t tell me you’re tired, he said, not when Washington’s troops kept fighting in the snow, even when they had no shoes.
Read MoreMcConnell: Who gave this guy a visa?
Senator Mitch McConnell asks the relevant question here. Don’t blame the failed terror strike on that NW Airlines plane solely on the folks in Nigeria, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s origination point and Amsterdam, his connecting airport, who let this guy into the US?
Read MoreNepolitano on NW airline terror attempt: Everything worked fine – Video UPDATE: system failed
These two bites, from NBC and ABC are as much an indictment of the tenacity of the media as it is of the arrogance of this administration. The appearance on Meet The Press, I think, is the best of the three sound bites this morning, because she continues to step in it on multiple occasions. The…
Read MoreA letter from Congress and the President to Medicare health care recipients
Let me begin by wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas on behalf of President Obama, and your Congress. As you know, through my tireless efforts, we were able to bribe enough senators, enabling the Senate to pass its version of health care reform on Christmas Eve.
Read MoreWhat carry-on explosive can blow up an airliner?
I’ve been reading discussions concerning the type of explosives terrorists like Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab could bring onto an airliner. Investigators have indicated it was a powder/liquid mix that failed to ignite. The Jawa Report speculates; directing us to a video on making a small, but powerful improvised explosive device.
