And we wonder why the economy has been so sluggish with mental giants like Hilda Solis out there shaping economic policy. After this morning’s dismal jobs report, Obama’s labor secretary appeared on CNBC and claimed that extending unemployment benefits has saved millions of jobs. Good grief, people take her seriously! How does paying more people…
Fox News interviewed some former crooks who called the list of handgun permit holders published by the Journal News in New York a “gold mine” for criminals. Reformed crooks say the New York newspaper that published a map of names and addresses of gun owners…

Here’s a little bit of good news for the end of the work week. A judge ruled in favor of the state of Virginia in their case against the costly water rules imposed on them by the EPA. Late this afternoon, a federal judge accepted…
President Obama and his allies continue to blame George Bush for the massive debt problem we have. Unfortunately, the facts don’t back them up. Before the Democrats took control of congress in 2007 the deficit was almost gone. It didn’t take off until they took…
Alan Grayson is back in Congress and back in the news. He accused the Republicans of waging “legislative terrorism” for using the debt ceiling as a way to cut some federal spending. Of course, he was on MSNBC with Al Sharpton, so he wasn’t challenged.…
Today the House passed a $9.7 billion package that will increase funding for federal flood insurance to pay out claims related to Hurricane Sandy. They will take up another bill in a week or two that will address further funding. According to The Wall Street…

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is plotting to do away with the filibuster in an effort to silence the minority. This is something he and the members of his party were against when they were in the minority, but now that they control the…
By now you’ve all heard how Al Gore sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera, the Arab news network owned by the oil-rich Qataris, and is walking away with a cool $100 million. The global warming profiteer and champion of “tax the rich” class…
Now that Senator John Kerry is moving on to fill Hillary Clinton’s secretary of state position there will be a vacancy until a special election can be held. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick will chose an interim replacement to fill the seat until a new candidate…
The official unemployment rate has gone up to 7.8%, the government reported this morning. Wait, scratch that, the rate has remained flat because the number reported last month was revised upward. They say 155,000 jobs were created, but something like 30,000 of those jobs were…
The Washington Examiner’s Conn Carroll takes issue with Buzz Feed’s characterization of the debt limit as simply being an authorization to make good on debts the government has racked up by previous congresses. Basically, Buzz Feed’s John Stanton was just repeating a White House talking…
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is resigning, even if no debt ceiling deal is worked out by the end of the month. Knowing how things are done in Washington, DC these days it’s doubtful any agreement will be reached before his departure. Treasury Secretary Timothy F.…
Dr. Owens: Elections have consequences and the ignored corruption of fraudulent voters and whacky voting machines has given Mr. Obama an uncontested victory.

President Obama auto-signed the fiscal cliff bill while he continues his vacation in Hawaii. Lucky us. Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii, signed the bill using an autopen, a mechanical device that copies his signature. Call me old fashioned, but shouldn’t major taxing and spending…
At this point I just have to laugh when I see the polls. President Obama has higher ratings than George W. Bush, even though most Americans see the best of times behind us. Thanks to the media there’s been a national disconnect with reality. Bush…
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wants our children in school longer. He’s looking to lengthen the school day and the school year. He also wants the pre-schoolers full time. I guess he doesn’t think the state has enough control over the children already. A commission…
