Pat Buchanan defends why he is skeptical of President Obama's past. "I'll tell you what. He went to Occidental College then suddenly he ends up at one of the best schools in the country, Columbia. He vaults from there to Harvard Law School. Suddenly he's on the Harvard Law Review. Suddenly he's the editor of Harvard Law Review. We've never seen any grades of the guy. These are legitimate questions," Buchanan said. Key quote: Pat Buchanan to Chris Matthews: "You're supposed to be a journalist."

Voter support for rolling back benefits available to few outside the public sector comes as Gov.

Brisk sales and higher prices helped Ford Motor Co. to one of its best first-quarter profits in years.

The U.S. economy is dying and we are heading for the next Great Depression. The talking heads in the mainstream media love to spin the economic numbers around and around and they love to make it sound like the economy is improving, but the truth is that it doesn't take a genius to see what is happening to the U.S. economic system. All over the nation many of our greatest cities are being slowly but surely transformed into post-apocalyptic wastelands. All over the mid-Atlantic, all along the Gulf coast, all throughout the "rust belt" and all over the entire state of California cities that once had incredibly vibrant economies are being turned into rotting, post-industrial ...

WASHINGTON — Republicans may be ready for a fling with Donald Trump, but a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows they have reservations about installing him in the White House. The real estate developer and reality TV star, who scores at the top in polls of the GOP field these days, falls to fourth when Republicans are asked to rate who among the contenders would be a “good” or “great” president in office. Fifty percent of Americans, including 31% of Republicans, say Trump would make a “poor” or “terrible” president. “Trump is filling a huge void in the Republican Party right now, and he’s gathering a protest vote: protest against the way ...

WASHINGTON – Separate polls show America's Christian faith is strong, but Barack Obama has serious credibility problems – at least among Iowa Republicans. A Rasmussen survey conducted April 21-22 among 1,000 U.S. adults reveals 74 percent believe Jesus is the Son of God who came to Earth to die for sins. Only 13 percent do not share that belief, according to the poll. Meanwhile, a Public Policy Poll conducted April 15-17 among 419 Iowa Republicans only 26 percent believe Obama was born in the U.S., with another 26 percent unsure. Overall 48 percent said they doubted his birth story.

She forces her critics to choose between the roles of merciless oppressor and guilt-ridden enabler. By Meghan Daum April 17, 2011 OK, so Sarah Palin probably isn't running for president. She may have told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that she was "tempted" because she was "wondering who the heck is going to be out there with a servant's heart willing to serve the American people." But evidence suggests there's not a lot to wonder about when it comes to her candidacy. Palin's approval ratings have never been lower. A CNN poll showed that among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, only 12% wanted Pain as the nominee. A Washington Post/ABC News ...

The New York Times is burrying the lead on their latest poll. The numbers are just brutal for the White House: * 70% of Americans feel things in this country are seriously off on the wrong track. That is the highest number since the 79% registered in 1/11/09 when President Bush was still in office. * 80% rate the national economy as bad (44% fairly/36% very). Only 19% rate it as good (2% very/17% fairly). * 39% think the economy is getting worse, only 23% say it is getting better. Last month those numbers were even at 26. In February they were flipped at 32% better, 22% worse. * 57% disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy. That is the highest disapproval measured by the ...

Behind the Obama Labor Board’s Bashing of Boeing is a Case Full of Irony and Union Failure by LaborUnionReport On Wednesday, when President Obama’s union-controlled National Labor Relations Board issued a complaint against the Boeing Company for making a sound business decision to “dual source” its 787 production, it was another blatant example of a government agency run amok. However, while most of the nuts and bolts behind the dispute were detailed here, there are several other, more intricate details behind the NLRB’s legally tenuous prosecution of Boeing that are deserving of closer examination—most notably, the union’s own culpability behind the ...
Boeing Trieds To Screw Working Man With End Run Around Law - NLRB Says "BUSTED!!!"

In what may be the strongest signal yet of the new pro-labor orientation of the National Labor Relations Board under President Obama, the agency filed a complaint Wednesday seeking to force Boeing to bring an airplane production line back to its unionized facilities in Washington State instead of moving the work to a nonunion plant in South Carolina. In its complaint, the labor board said that Boeing’s decision to transfer a second production line for its new 787 Dreamliner passenger plane to South Carolina was motivated by an unlawful desire to retaliate against union workers for their past strikes in Washington and to discourage future strikes. The agency’s acting general ...

A passenger screener at Philadelphia International Airport is facing charges that he distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook, records show. Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a photograph of himself in his TSA uniform. Homeland Security agents arrested the TSA officer March 24, and he is being held without bail. Although the case was unsealed Thursday, neither the indictment nor the news release mentioned Gordon's job searching airline passengers for ...

Republicans will flock to the polls next year to decide who will be the 2012 presidential nominee.
For senator Rand Paul it might be an easy choice as to whom he chooses to throw his support too.
"Hmmm... We'll you know I might have a relative running, so there have been rumors that my father might run again," said Senator Paul.
If his father Congressman Ron Paul does decide to run, Senator Paul did make one promise.
"I've said that he is my landlord in Washington, I live with him, so I can't make him mad. I told him the one thing I would not do is run against him," said Senator Paul.
While he won't run against his father, running on the ticket with him probably isn't an ...

September 11th is hardly the first “day of infamy” to undergo public scrutiny and accusations of government conspiracy. President Franklin D. Roosevelt coined the phrase on December 7th after the Japanese “surprise” attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The attack, according to author and WWII Navy veteran, Robert B. Stinnett, however, had been no surprise at all for Roosevelt. It was only at the author’s insistent calls on the Freedom of Information Act that the U.S. Navy at last released formerly hidden evidence that led Stinnett to conclude: FDR knew and had the power to avert disaster on December 7th. Interview with Stinnett The government’s claims that ...

Obama's tax return: Income down _ to $1.7 million WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is making less money than he used to, though it's still a lot: He and wife Michelle reported income of $1.73 million last year, mostly from the books he's written, according to his just-filed tax return. That was down from the $5.5 million of a year earlier. The president, who has been campaigning to raise taxes on the wealthy, paid the government $453,770 in federal taxes, about a quarter of the income. Just last week, he renewed his push to end Bush-era tax cuts for households with annual incomes above $250,000 — noting that that would include him. The White House released ...

Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk. A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn" —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow ...

Two days ago, Matt Drudge linked to a new book by Jerome Corsi, unflinchingly titled Where’s the Birth Certificate? The book immediately leapt to number one on Amazon.com, where it has remained ever since. The media has shown its usual incredulity at the indisputable stupidity of the American people. How could so many people question President Obama’s birthplace? How could they wonder about his origins? Are they all simply racist? The answer, of course, is that Americans are desperately seeking an answer to a simple question: why does President Obama appear to be so un-American? The term un-American here is not synonymous with anti-American (though Obama has been that on ...

Now that Obama is back on the campaign trail, preparing for his run in 2012, he has decided to increase the populist rhetoric yet again, setting aside the facts in favor of political expediency: “I know that if you’ve got a limited budget and you just watch that hard-earned money going away to oil companies that will once again probably make record profits this quarter, it’s pretty frustrating,” Obama said, speaking before a town hall in Virginia. “It is true that a lot of what’s driving oil prices up right now is not the lack of supply. There is enough supply … The problem is … speculators and people make various bets, and they say, you know ...
