Settled law? Illegal alien deportations at lowest level since 1973

By Steve McGough / October 31, 2013 /

So much for the settled law theory. Since it has not been politically wise to change existing immigration laws during the last decade, the Executive Branch along with support from Democrat-controlled big city mayors, have been quietly telling immigration and border protection line officers to “not be all that concerned” if they run into any…

Malloy campaign really thinks new gun laws reduced crime?

By Steve McGough / November 2, 2014 /

Total hogwash. I was just reading about Joe Visconti (I) dropping out of the Connecticut governor’s race. He’s asking supporters to vote for Tom Foley (R) to avoid another four years of Gov. D.P. Malloy’s (D) running the state. At the end of the article, the Malloy campaign actually brought guns up.

WaPo: Most Americans want the public option?

By Jim Vicevich / October 20, 2009 /

The headline is like a splash of cold water for people who think the public option might be dead and for those campaigning against government insurance. From the WaPo: A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and…

Connecticut to Dodd …. we don’t hate you, we just won’t vote for you

By Jim Vicevich / July 23, 2009 /

The latest Quinnipiac Poll numbers came out today and they show Dodd falling farther behind Rob Simmons in a head to head match up …. but … his negatives aren’t as negative. Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd trails former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, a likely Republican challenger 48 – 39 percent in the 2010 Senate race,…

God Isn’t Dead But Is On Life Support

By Jim Vicevich / April 8, 2009 /

Hmmm … we’ve heard this before. Newsweek Magazine running a cover on the fall of Christian America. God Is Dead. As Newsbusters notes, I especially like the new found respect Newsweek has for the holiest week of the Christian calendar. This Holy Week has been typical. Newsweek proclaimed “The Decline and Fall of Christian America” on its…

By Steve McGough / December 18, 2009 /

As readers may remember, I’ve been monitoring the George Washington University Battleground Poll for quite some time. In August I wrote about the July results showing a 2 point increase in the number of registered voters who considered themselves conservative or very conservative. This week we had 4 point move.

What’s an Obamaite?

By Jim Vicevich / November 4, 2009 /

Welcome Hot Air readers and much thanks to Ed Morrissey. Or maybe it’s an Obamaniac? Chris Matthews asks what sounds like a kooky question … but in reality, not so much. For once he nails it. Obama is no Reagan and Chuck Todd nails it … he has no core … and thus nothing for…

By Steve McGough / April 5, 2012 /

Ninety-four percent of Ward 8’s population in Washington, D.C. is non-Hispanic black and 0.5 percent is Asian. Does former mayor Marion Barry – the councilman representing the ward – have an issue with Asians running businesses in his district?

Gun talk: Ten rounds in a magazine may not be enough – Firearm realities (Update)

By Steve McGough / January 19, 2011 /

Gun control advocates and even former Vice President Dick Cheney have suggested having 10 rounds available in a magazine for a semi-automatic pistol “seems” like enough to protect oneself, yet the argument is simply an extension of a random number that “seems” to make people feel better and has no relation to real-world situations.

Medical schools suggest big government incentives for new docs

By Steve McGough / January 3, 2010 /

When I was writing about the future shortage of physicians months ago, I was wondering when medical school deans would first suggest a federal bailout to  increase the number of future docs. And so it has come…
