Back during the ObamaCare debate, the liberal mainstream media swooned when retired Republican congressional leaders like Bob Dole and Bill Frist, along with GOP former Health & Human Services Secretaries Tommy Thompson and Louis Sullivan, urged Republicans to help Obama pass a health-care bill. Somehow these smitten reporters and their editors found it unneccessary to mention that Dole, Frist, Thompson, and Sullivan were all in the pay of health-care companies, many of which will profit from the bill's subsidies, mandates, and regulations. So last night, when I saw a National Journal story about "prominent Republican elder statesmen" pushing their party to embrace ...

A couple days after the initial launch of the Occupy Wall Street protests, Infowars.com received an email taking us to task for attributing the movement to Anonymous, the activist hacker group. How can a movement originated and funded by globalists end the globalist scheme to enslave the world? “There is one major inaccuracy in all the coverage that has been bothering me, and that is the focus on Anonymous as the architects and organizers of the event,” an email received September 23 states. “The initial call for the protest was put out by the magazine Adbusters.” The person, who shall remain nameless at this point – since I have not gained his permission to quote ...

New Fast and Furious docs released by White House WASHINGTON - Late Friday, the White House turned over new documents in the Congressional investigation into the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal. The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell - who led Fast and Furious - and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has ...
Obama's EPA: Out with democracy, in with bureaucracy

If you studied logic in high school, you probably learned about a style of argument called "reductio ad absurdum." Reduction arguments are persuasive because they simply accept all the premises of the opposing side, then draw absurd conclusions, demonstrating that the premises themselves must be flawed. When you pose such arguments to a reasonable person, you can often convince him to rethink his position. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency is anything but reasonable. The EPA wants to regulate carbon under the Clean Air Act, something the Supreme Court ruled it could do in an ill-advised and narrow 2007 decision. The problem is that the Clean Air Act became law ...
Scott Walker's Chief of Staff Resigns...

Something doesn't pass the smell test. It was just announced that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's Chief of Staff, Keith Gilkes, has resigned to return to his political consulting firm. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel states that the consulting firm is a one-man operation. Gilkes and the governor are implying that the move is to allow Gilke, who was Walker's campaign manager before becoming Walker's Chief of Staff, to prepare for any recall election that Walker might face. I don't buy it. The Journal Sentinel quotes Gilkes as having said to an Associated Press reporter: As we see activity on the Democrats' part, on the public-sector employees' part, ...
Democrats Call For Investigation Of Justice Clarence Thomas

Twenty House Democrats called Thursday on the U.S. Judicial Conference to formally request that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate Justice Clarence Thomas's non-compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. Justice Thomas indicated on his annual financial disclosure forms that his wife had received no income since he joined the bench in 1991, despite the fact that his wife had in fact earned nearly $700,000 from the Heritage Foundation from 2003 to 2007. The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 requires Supreme Court justices to disclose their spouse's income. "To believe that Justice Thomas didn't know how to fill out a basic disclosure form is absurd," ...

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama told an audience of high school students in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that he was “not always the very best student” and that ethics “would not have made it on the list” of his favorite subjects. “I was not always the very best student that I could be when I was in high school, and certainly not when I was in middle school,” Obama said, speaking at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School. “I did not love every class I took. I wasn’t always paying attention the way I should have,” Obama said. “I remember when I was in 8th grade I had to take a class called ethics. Now, ethics is about right and ...

Vice President Joe Biden told Florida radio station WLRN on Thursday that voters should hold President Barack Obama, not former President George W. Bush, accountable for the poor state of America’s economy. Conservative PAC American Crossroads circulated the startling statement Thursday afternoon, expecting it will take Democratic campaign strategists by surprise. “Right now, understandably — totally legitimate — this is a referendum on Obama and Biden and the nature of the state of the economy,” Biden said. Polls indicating that more Americans blame Bush for the economy than Obama are not relevant, Biden said. “Even though fifty-some percent of the ...

The controversy over a $535 million loan guarantee to the now-bankrupt California solar firm Solyndra is threatening to dim the star of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a physicist and Nobel Prize winner who has rarely been thrust into the political spotlight. Republican lawmakers have set their sites on Chu, who for three years has managed to avoid being dragged into a litany of political battles waged by Republicans and the White House on energy and environmental issues. The GOP has for weeks lobbed a slew of allegations at the administration, arguing officials rushed a final decision on the loan guarantee and missed a series of red flags that hinted at the company’s financial ...

The glass-and-metal building that Solyndra LLC began erecting alongside Interstate 880 in Fremont, California, in September 2009 was something the Silicon Valley area hadn’t seen in years: a new factory. It wasn’t just any factory. When it was completed at an estimated cost of $733 million, including proceeds from a $535 million U.S. loan guarantee, it covered 300,000 square feet, the equivalent of five football fields. It had robots that whistled Disney tunes, spa-like showers with liquid-crystal displays of the water temperature, and glass-walled conference rooms. “The new building is like the Taj Mahal,” John Pierce, 54, a San Jose resident who worked as a ...

Anyone with about $10, physical access to a Diebold voting machine and rudimentary knowledge of electronics can remotely hack into the device, according to experts at the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. A hacker could potentially change a person’s votes without them ever knowing about it. “We believe these man-in-the-middle attacks are potentially possible on a wide variety of electronic voting machines,” said Roger Johnston, leader of the assessment team. “We think we can do similar things on pretty much every electronic voting machine.” Watch video, courtesy of The Brad Blog, below: S

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the department has completed a $737 million loan guarantee to Tonopah Solar Energy for a 110 megawatt solar tower on federal land near Tonopah, Nev., and a $337 million guarantee for Mesquite Solar 1 to develop a 150 megawatt solar plant near ...

Peace activists blocked the front and back entrances to the Vancouver Club, calling for Cheney's arrest for war crimes and booing guests as they arrived at the $500-a-ticket dinner. Cheney is in town to promote his new book "In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir."

Top economic advisors to President Obama warned him a year ago about the serious political and financial risks of the Energy Department's loan guarantee program that has resulted in taxpayers likely being responsible for the loss of $527 million loaned to the politically-connected California solar firm Solyndra. That loan is currently under investigation by a House subcommittee and the FBI, which raided company offices earlier this month. Obama visited the Solyndra plant in 2010, touting it as a shining example of his program to simultaneously boost the U.S. green-energy industry and create new jobs. Last winter the Energy Dept. restructured the more than half-billion dollar loan to ...

For a party and a man that hold deep reservations towards capitalism, Democrats certainly jump at the chance to ride it – like all those corporate fat cats in their private jets! – when it suits their needs. Ah, but you see the argument isn’t over capitalism. That’s just bread tossed out for the masses. American socialists – those that are in the know, the elites – understand capitalism is the undisputed system of economics. Our infrastructure right down to the laws that govern commerce is capitalistic. There is no changing that. But how and where revenue is generated and then redistributed is where American socialism comes in. Here we are again, though. ...

(See also: Solving the Democrats' Obama Problem) President Obama will not run in 2012. That prediction seems reasonable in light of the following: 1. His presidency is in shambles, shriveling up before our eyes. 2. His political poll numbers continue to weaken. 3. Unemployment remains stubbornly high for a period of time not seen since the Great Depression. 4. The economy is listless, consumer sentiment is in the sewer, foreclosures are ratcheting up, and the next financial crisis appears near. 5. No economic variable has improved; some continue to worsen. 6. The nation risks sovereign bankruptcy as a result of Obama's out-of-control spending. 7. Obama is out of ideas and ...
