Obama foreign policy … “It’s amateur night”

By Steve McGough | March 17, 2011 |

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is getting tired. Certainly, there are a tremendous number of world events that are stretching the State Department’s abilities, but it does not help if you have a boss that can’t seem to make a decisive decision on anything other than sports picks.

Obligatory Video: More chanting children, this time in Wisconsin

By Steve McGough | March 15, 2011 |

“Children, united … we’ll never be divided.” Of course, this is what I refer to as brainwashing, and kids this age are easily “reconfigured.” They have no idea what they are doing, other than making their parents and teachers smile. Whether brainwashing kids at Westboro Baptist or this … totally wrong.

Palin schedule: Fundraiser in Denver instead of Republican debate

By Steve McGough | March 8, 2011 |

Of course, the calendar can change, but as we look forward to a growing list of mushy Republican candidates posted within the next 30 days or so, I thought this was interesting.

When the going gets tough…

By Dave in EH | March 8, 2011 |

… the tough get their golf clubs????? Whilst other world leaders are showing leadership and trying to do the hard work of addressing the problems in Libya, Dear Leader Barak Obama was busy addressing a golf ball in his sixtieth round of golf. From Human Events: Addressing the House of Commons, Cameron said, “We will…

Chris Christie says he knows he’ll win … take the national straw poll

By Jim Vicevich | March 2, 2011 |

This is a dual post really. A snippet from the National Review piece where NJ Governor Chris Christie says he knows he can win the nomination … and the presidency. And a link to a great new on-line straw poll that has gone viral.

Wisconsin Republican threatened with death by Wisconsin Democrat speaks out.

By Jim Vicevich | March 1, 2011 |

Two H/Ts go out on this one. First Jim Hoft, who drew my attention to the original story yesterday. As hard it is to believe, it is true, a Wisconsin Democrat threatens a Republican legislator with “You’re f***in dead.” The details on the threat are below the fold. More importantly Hot Air points to an…

Symptom of the Disease: Governors begging for cash from the feds

By Steve McGough | February 25, 2011 |

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy (D) headed to Washington, DC with many other governors not to check out the National Mall or Lincoln Memorial, rather they headed into town to beg for cash and schmooze with those who hold the purse strings hoping they can pick up $100 million here, or $50 million there, to help…

Governor Christie to Governor Malloy: Read the Governor’s owners manual and get back to me. UPDATE: Full video links

By Jim Vicevich | February 23, 2011 |

This is classic Christie and a shot across the bow of a Governor who called him “bombastic”. Juicy stuff for you conservatives from this morning’s Joe. Game on!

Democrat play book 101 on display in Wisconsin – Unions take control

By Steve McGough | February 18, 2011 |

Lots of news stories and blog posts about the teachers unions taking over the Wisconsin State Legislature yesterday and how the Democrats went into hiding to avoid what I suppose is their sworn duty. In reality they did not just hide, they fled the state.

My Governor does not heart NJ’s Governor

By Jim Vicevich | February 16, 2011 |

As he readies the citizens of Connecticut for his version of “shared sacrifice”, taxing middle class workers to balance a bloated state budget, Dan Malloy can’t resist taking a shot at New Jersey’s Governor who somehow managed to balance a budget in far worse shape than his own. Stay for another great Christie video.  Courage!
