John Wolfe is on the ballot in the Arkansas Democratic primary against President Obama. Wolfe’s tag line is “Peace and Prosperity, Not War and Austerity.” It’s not as pithy as “Hope and Change,” or “Forward,” but Arkansas primary voters don’t seem to mind. Obama’s barely beating Wolfe in the polls there. According to White...
Here’s the latest Mitt Romney campaign video. It features a few of the people the Obama economy has left behind. They’re proud Americans who can’t find work, or are just scraping by. How many more who are just like them are out there? They are not part of any “special interest” group to be...
USA Today reports that President Obama could be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million. Whatever it is, it’s definitely enough to put him among the top 1% he loves to rail against. He is a wealthy man, with assets of as much as $10 million. He has a hefty stake in JPMorgan...
White House staffers have been quite busy inserting President Obama into every presidential bio since Calvin Coolidge. “Silent Cal” wasn’t a big fan of agitprop, and is most likely frowning on the occupier in chief for using social media to sell big government. Thanks to Smitty for the short lesson in having fun with...
Mitt Romney delivered a speech in Iowa today that was spot-on. This is a speech President Obama probably doesn’t want you to hear. Romney called the national debt crisis a “prairie fire of debt” and said that President Obama has been feeding the fire. You can watch the entire speech on CSPAN, and read...
Aw. Poor Chris Matthews. The MSNBC host who likes to mock Sarah Palin’s intelligence by saying she’d be terrible at Jeopardy! appeared on Jeopardy! and failed miserably. Maybe he’ll choose a different line of attack the next time. In all fairness, perhaps he had other things on his mind – like the First Gay...
Franciscan University of Steubenville is the first Catholic college to drop student health plans thanks to the mandate imposed on religious institutions that they cover contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs. Expect more to follow. Here’s the announcement from the university’s website: The Obama Administration has mandated that all health insurance plans must cover “women’s...
A reporter identifying himself as being with America’s Morning News (Maybe this America’s Morning News?) caught up with Senator Bernie Sanders who is an independent but caucuses with the Democrats. Oh, he’s also a socialist. The reporter asked why the Senate hasn’t passed a budget in “several thousand days.” Sanders told him he was incorrect, then...
Did you hear there’s been a run on banks in Greece? According to CNBC, US stocks slid today because of the turmoil in Europe. According to a transcript, Greek depositors recently withdrew 700 million euros from the nation’s local banks, said President Karolos Papoulias, though the exact timing of the transfer was unclear. I think people...
On the White House website you can find biographies of all 44 Presidents of the United States. But did you know that the biographies have been updated with little tidbits about all of the wonderful things President Obama has done since taking office? It’s actually kind of creepy and disturbing. We paid someone to...
What business is the federal government good at? Everything they touch turns into a money pit, so why would we think that the Department of Health and Human Services spending billions to finance new non-profit health insurers would be any different? Doug Ross asks, “What could go wrong?” I can think of a few...
How many crises are on the horizon that we all know about, but nobody’s doing anything to stop? There’s the national debt crisis, the under-funding of Social Security and Medicare, the drastic cuts in the defense budget and the looming Taxmaggeddon. There’s also the coming pension crisis, or as The Wall Street Journal calls...
President Obama slammed John McCain for his immigration stance in 2008, yet today he is saying that Mitt Romney should be more like McCain. “We have a very clear contrast this time. John McCain believed in climate change and believed in immigration reform,” Obama told an audience of about 200 donors who paid at...
President Obama, speaking to the women of Barnard College, couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the “flawed” Constitution. Not to worry, he went on to note that the document is “special” because it’s a living and breathing document, it allowed “A constant forward movement that continues to this day.” He was basically just pandering...
To listen to President Obama and the Democrats, you would think that private equity investment is a bad thing. Without private equity investment, just think how many businesses would fail. I heard that Bain Capital’s investments turned into success stories almost 80% of the time, but the narrative is set on the 20% that...
President Obama was in New York today to deliver a commencement speech at Barnard College and to tape an interview on The View. I assume at least one of those stops was billed as official business, so no doubt we’re footing the bill for this trip. He also attended a couple of fundraisers, one...
Can you imagine the outcry we would have heard if the Bush administration had given the okay to local law enforcement agencies to use drones to patrol the skies? People would have been marching in the streets and setting things on fire, kind of like the Occupy meetings. So, will the left be outraged...
I’m sure the nearly $6 million granted awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services to a program run by President Obama’s friends is just a coincidence. The Department of Health and Human Services last week announced it had awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program tied to...
Alert the envrionmentalists! The Obama administration is going to allow the mass killing of bald eagles so that renewable energy can be expanded. The Foundry reported the news last week, but I haven’t read anything about this in my local newspaper. Gee, I wonder why. A draft regulation first filed in April would allow...
Mitt Romney doesn’t often talk about the good things he’s done in his personal life, and the media certainly doesn’t want to talk about any of Romney’s good qualities. So you probably won’t hear this story on the evening news. Via Real Clear Politics, this is what the Republican presidential candidate told a reporter...
Nobody is safe from the blue-gloved bureaucrats of the Transportation Safety Administration, not even Henry Kissinger. He was treated to what a witness called the “Full Monty” of a pat down at a security checkpoint in New York’s La Guardia airport. Kissinger, who was in a wheelchair, was told by a TSA agent that...
Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign team announced that the Republican presidential primary candidate will no longer campaign for primary votes in states that have not yet held their primaries. He will continue to try to take away some delegates in states where the votes have already taken place to secure a place at the Republican...
Last year Republicans and Democrats agreed to increase the debt ceiling and part of the deal was across the board spending cuts, including $500 billion in cuts to the Defense Department, in the event Congress fails to act by January 1, 2013. It doesn’t appear that Democrats care to do anything about this, seeing...
Massachusetts US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said this morning on CNN that she’s quite proud of her Native American Heritage. It’s a shame the host of “Starting Point” didn’t bring up how her claim of Cherokee heritage is a work of fiction and has not been backed up by any historical record. It also...
Last week GAO auditor Anu Mittal appeared before Congress and testified that a shale formation out west contains trillions of gallons of recoverable oil. Much of it is underneath federal lands. According to her testimony, the recoverable oil is equivalent to the the oils reserves of the entire world. You would think this would...
