Obama encourages illegal aliens to vote?

By Steve McGough | November 6, 2016 | Comments Off on Obama encourages illegal aliens to vote?

Not quite so fast. He did not understand the premise of the question, or he just was not listening. When Gina Rodriguez asked the question during the interview earlier this week, everyone freaked out about the answer. The video you’re seeing elsewhere cuts off a relevant comment by the president a few moments later in…

Obama administration created list of Muslims & Asians for top jobs

By Steve McGough | October 26, 2016 |

Imagine the total media firestorm George W. Bush would have been – or Donald Trump would be in today – if they requested their staff put together an exclusive list of white Christians for top Executive Branch positions.

Obama immigration Executive Order speech wrap-up

By Steve McGough | November 21, 2014 |

I watched only a few moments last night, and listened for a few more. It concerns me the president referenced Reagan and Bush 41 regulations and interpretations of laws* passed in Congress in comparison to his Executive Order that will completely ignore current law. But that’s not all conservatives are rightfully bitching about.

Touch screen “calibration error” gives GOP votes to Democrats in Illinois

By Steve McGough | October 22, 2014 |

I’m sorry, this crap just does not happen on its own. In Illinois, a Republican state representative candidate tried to vote for himself and other Republicans, only to notice – before he submitted the completed ballot – the votes were being cast for his opponent and other Democrats.

Single tragedy kicks off discussion on additional boating regulations in Connecticut

By Steve McGough | August 13, 2014 |

The government does not always have to “do something.” Emily Fedorko from Greenwich died in what can only be described as a terrible accident on the water Aug. 7. Emily and three teenage friends were in a motorboat on Long Island Sound enjoying the day when Emily died after coming in contact with a spinning propeller. Horrific. But as…

Symptom of the Disease: Liberal professor dumbfounded about support for McDaniel in Mississippi

By Steve McGough | June 18, 2014 |

The American people have to start somewhere. I’ve said over-and-0ver until I’m blue in the face; the DISEASE is the size and scope of the federal government and the unhealthy dependency states and local governments have when it comes to getting cash from said federal government. Some in Mississippi get it, but others like self-proclaimed…

Rowland indicted for illegally covering up campaign consulting deal

By Steve McGough | April 11, 2014 |

It would not be illegal for Lisa Wilson-Foley to hire John Rowland, Connecticut’s former Republican governor, as a paid campaign advisor. Wilson-Foley was running as a Republican for Congress in Connecticut’s 5th district two years ago when Rowland approached Wilson-Foley – and another campaign – with a scheme to hide the fact Rowland was a…

Ethics: Reid campaign handed $31,000 to granddaughter for “gifts”

By Steve McGough | March 27, 2014 |

Legal nepotism. This is another perfect story to fit in with my Symptom of the Disease series. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wanted to thank supporters during the holidays by using campaign funds to buy them gifts. Does he go off to Kohls to buy a few inexpensive fleece blankets? Nope, he asked his artist granddaughter…

Symptom of the Disease: Federal funds used for N.J. Hurricane Sandy relief

By Steve McGough | January 13, 2014 |

This is the kind of stuff that always comes up when the federal government steps in to provide funding to a local area with a bail out. New Jersey and Gov. Chris Christie is being investigated concerning how they spent federal dollars for a marketing campaign to promote the state and its shoreline.
