When Robert E. Lee was forced to turn back and retreat from Pennsylvania ending his dream of winning the Civil War by invading the North it quickly became clear that he had thrown his best punch and failed. Lee almost won but didn’t. While the Confederates won some major battles after Gettysburg their will to fight and the appetite for loaning them money was gone. Yesterday the Wisconsin Democrats brought their invasion to Republican held State Senate districts. To turn back the tide of conservatism in Wisconsin the Democrats instigated recall elections of six Republican Senators. They almost won enough seats to make a difference but didn’t. They needed to take three seats to ...

The woman, not the victim A St. Louis woman was charged today with statutory rape, child molestation and sodomy after she was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in her neighborhood. Charged is Levetrea Dione Atkins, 36, of the 5700 block of Theodore Avenue in St. Louis. Court documents describe the boy as developmentally delayed. The boy told authorities Atkins persuaded him to get money from his piggy bank and give it to her on June 24, according to court documents. Then she molested, sodomized and had sex with the boy, the filing says. Neighbors reported what happened to the teen's father after Atkins bragged about it, documents say. A cash-only bond has been set ...
Entire U.S. Stealth Fighter Fleet Grounded [Full Thread]

In past few decades, the U.S. Air Force has spent untold billions researching and developing a family of stealth fighter jets that are supposed to be generations ahead of any dogfighters in the sky. But after building more than 170 F-22 Raptors and a handful of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, not a single one is available for service. The Air Force currently has zero flyable stealth fighters. None. The vaunted F-22 has been grounded with a possible faulty oxygen system since May. Production of the last few Raptors is even on hold, because the jets can’t fly from the factory. Last week, test flights for the newer F-35 were suspended, too, because of a valve problem in the plane’s ...
Obama Would Have Caused BBB S&P Rating If Not For Tea Party

Everyone who actually knows what is happening, and doesn’t have their heads stuck up their ass knows that Obama and the Democrats caused the financial problems that our country is currently facing. Similarly, anyone who knows their ass from a hole in the wall knows that the Tea Party only protected us from the damage that the inept and corrupt Obama administration would have caused if not for the tea party, whom the left is attacking at every opportunity with trumped up charge of racism, terrorism, kidnapping, and any other abhorrent act that they can think up. This is the same scorched earth politics of destruction that Obama and the Democrats have tried against anyone who has a ...

Desperate Left Continues Blaming Tea Party For Obama’s Failed Economic Policy

I laugh at these stupid hacks on TV, like Loony-Bin Alan Colmes, Goof-Ball Ed Schultz, Wack-Job Al Gore, and even No-Jobs Obama and Joe Gaff-Master Biden and Rep. Nobody-Cares Mike Doyle, who blame the Tea Party for Obama’s failure to produce a budget in 3 years, in conjunction with Obama’s out-of-control spending, which are the real reasons we are facing the precarious position of our economy. Instead of taking blame for their fiscal failures and inability to govern, they play the blame game and blame everything and everyone under the sun, and then attack the Tea Party. These jackasses have called us terrorists, rapists, kidnappers, suicide bombers, and other completely crazy, ...

Diversity works great ! Blacks are looting burning attacking in London and Philly- where there are flash mobs of blacks looting stores and now in Wisconsin. They couldn’t be racially motivated because people with non-white skin are never violent criminal or racist. Seems the Philadelphia Mayor has a clearer view of personal responsibility. Only with that can you resist the dumbing down and dependence spiral encouraged by the left. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/8/mayor-talks-tough-to-black-teens-after-flash-mobs/ PHILADELPHIA — Mayor Michael A.

Milwaukee County officials are releasing 911 tapes from the mob attacks that happened on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair. They describe the nature of the attacks, and some callers particularly claim a racial overtone ot the attack. Caller: “We’re outside State Fair and there’s a white guy getting beaten up by about 100 black people,” (redacted) Callers: “It’s like a fricking riot out there. They’re jumping on our cars and everything.” “There’s 300 black people.” “There’s, like, a riot.” “You better get some cops down here by State Fair Park.” “There’s about 200 kids out here beating ...

You can't understand this, that is, until it happens to you.
Gail told me this week that her only child, Justin, was playing basketball in the well-manicured park down the street with his college-aged friends and his girlfriend. Suddenly they were surrounded by a group of black guys from somewhere else who began taunting them, invoking racist language.
Her son and his friends yelled at them to go away, but one young male lunged at Justin, punching him in the face. Justin fell and was knocked unconscious. The hoodlums then ran away; luckily, one of the kids got their license plate. I hope and pray that small-town USA takes unprovoked street violence more seriously than places like ...

Republicans retained majority control of the Wisconsin Senate in a recall election that was spurred by Republican Gov. Scott Walker's agenda of cutting unionized state workers' rights. Four GOP state senators fended off recall votes, while Democrats picked up two seats in the recall election. The final race ended close to midnight when State Sen. Alberta Darling retained her seat, defeating Democratic challenger Sandy Pasch. Unofficial numbers had Darling with 54 percent of the vote compared with 46 percent going to Pasch. Three other Republicans held onto their seats: Sen. Rob Cowles of Allouez and Sen. Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls, and Luther Olsen of Ripon. All three defeated ...
The summer of service disasters at Amtrak

I’m seeing a lot of sold-out long-distance trains this summer. The train I’m on today, the Texas Eagle, sure looks like one of them. Amtrak is all but assured to have record ridership in fiscal 2011, which ends Sept. 30. But this good news cannot hide the service disasters taking place out on the road. I don’t remember a summer this bad. Let’s look at the performance of four long-distance trains the last two weeks of July, starting with the westbound California Zephyr. It runs chronically late into Denver before the usual delays occur threading through the Rocky Mountains. Here’s the minutes late for train 5 arriving Denver, starting July 18: 109, 367, 1,108, 194, ...

The left loves to talk about humanitarianism, putting people above profits, and saving the poor and disadvantaged from the inequity of private enterprise. Yet behind the rhetoric of all economic interventionism is the iron fist of the state. The statists will usually try to obscure this fact, or even deny it. They will perform philosophical gymnastics to argue that, in fact, they do not favor state violence at all, since we all live in a community ruled by a government by consent. Sometimes, however, the naked brutality they endorse is clearly on display for everyone to see. Witness Michael Moore, paragon of modern progressive liberalism and egalitarian social democracy. The target of his ...

* Kansas governor sends back "early innovator" HHS grant * Brings returned grants amount to some $90 million * HHS likely would have to set up Kansas exchange WASHINGTON, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Kansas became on Tuesday the second U.S. state to return a large federal grant meant to help it create a prototype health insurance exchange as part of the Obama administration's healthcare overhaul. Republican Governor Sam Brownback said the state would give back the $31.5 million it received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to become an early leader, along with six other states, in establishing health insurance exchanges that other local government could use as a ...

Michelle Obama Takes Secret Vacation to Oregon First Lady Michelle Obama Slipped out of Washington unnoticed Monday for a secret trip to visit her brother, Oregon State University men’s basketball coach Craig Robinson, at his home on Corvallis, Ore. Mrs. Obama reportedly jetted into the Eugene Airport, landing at about 11 am PDT. She and family members then headed out in a 11 vehicle motorcade for the ride to Corvallis. The White House has so far said little about the trip, which was unannounced. It’s unclear how long the vacation will last. Mrs. Obama and family members flew on a Boeing C-40B, the military version of a 737 that serves as Air Force 2. Mrs. Obama has in the ...
The stunning decline of Barack Obama 2011 edition: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency continues to melt down

In August last year I published a list of ten key reasons why the Obama presidency was in serious decline. This is a sequel to that post, which was one of the most read pieces on The Telegraph website in 2010. Twelve months on, the outlook continues to look exceedingly bleak for President Obama, with no sign of a recovery. July was the worst month for the Obama presidency since the November mid-terms which saw his party emphatically drubbed in Congressional elections across the country. The president hit an all-time low with a Gallup poll at the end of the month giving him just 40 percent approval, with his rating among independents plummeting to just 34 percent. The outlook became even ...

My colleague Greg Sargent asks in a tweet: “[H]ow many times do lefties need to get burned by anonym[ous] quotes before learning from it?” The question is rhetorical; the topic is this piece from Politico’s Ben Smith: In a move that will make some Democrats shudder, Obama’s high command has even studied President George W. Bush’s 2004 takedown of Sen. John F. Kerry, a senior campaign adviser told POLITICO, for clues on how a president with middling approval ratings can defeat a challenger. “Unless things change and Obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill Romney,” said a prominent Democratic strategist aligned with the White House.

As the economy slips into unprecedented territory, Barack Obama’s refusal to take responsibility for his actions have warn Americans’ patience beyond the breaking point. After S&P downgraded the nation’s credit rating Friday evening. a small businesswoman sent the president an unmistakable message: quit blaming everyone else and apologize to the American people for your abject failure in leadership. Amilya Antonetti, CEO of AMA Productions, told Neil Cavuto the president should only say one thing to the nation this morning: “I apologize, because I did not lead this country to success.” She echoed this author’s contention that Obama is an historic president, ...
Standard & Poor's Acts High And Mighty To Hide Low And Dirty Dealings With Wall Street

You stand in front of Standard & Poor's bustling headquarters on Water St. and wonder why anybody listens to it, why it was never held accountable, why it is even still in business. The front of the building should be taped off like a crime scene or boarded over like some foreclosed home. And S&P should not even be in a position to lower the U.S. rating and panic already jumpy investors worldwide, much less with calculations involving a $2 trillion error. My guess is that by acting high and mighty, S&P is trying to make us forget how low and dirty it was back in August 2004. That was when S&P relaxed its standards to keep Wall Street happy and itself flush with fees ...

President Obama will travel to Dover Air Force base later on Tuesday to honor the 22 Navy SEALs and eight other American troops killed in Afghanistan on Saturday when an insurgent shot down their helicopter, according to an administration official familiar with the matter. Obama will head a delegation of senior administration, Pentagon, and military officials who will salute the flag-draped caskets of the troops who died in a rescue mission this weekend in the worst single-day loss of the long Afghan war. The crash in eastern Afghanistan also marked the largest death toll in the history of the U.S. Special Operations Command, which oversees the SEALs and other elite units. The president ...

The aircraft was large, modern and considered among the world's safest. But that night it was flying straight into a huge thunderstorm. Turbulence was extreme, and airspeed indicators may not have been functioning properly. Worse, the pilots were incompetent. As the plane threatened to stall they panicked by pointing the nose up, losing speed when they ought to have done the opposite. It was all over in minutes. Was this the fate of Flight 447, the Air France jet that plunged mysteriously into the Atlantic a couple of years ago? Could be. What I'm talking about here is the Obama presidency. When it comes to piloting, Barack Obama seems to think he's the political equivalent of ...

Yes, Democrats, I think from now on it is worth Republicans pointing out frequently that while Barack Obama may have inherited a bad economy from George W. Bush, he also inherited a AAA rated credit rating. And yes, George Bush, like Barack Obama, had two years with Democrats controlling Congress and still managed to not lose our AAA credit rating. Barack Obama failed to do the same with the GOP only controlling one house of Congress.

California attorney Orly Taitz today secured an order from United States District Court Magistrate Judge Richard L. Puglisi demanding representatives of the Hawaii Department of Health appear in federal court Sept. 14 to show why Taitz should be prevented from seeing whatever original 1961 documents the agency has on record regarding Barack Obama's birth. Taitz returned to federal court in Honolulu today after Hawaii DOH officials presented her with a letter refusing to comply with her subpoena on grounds that Hawaii privacy laws prevented officials from releasing Obama birth records to the public. "It's ridiculous," Taitz told WND. She had argued previously – ...
