The Supreme Court has been issuing rulings on cases this week, including telling California to decrease the number of prisoners in its prisons. The ruling that may force the state to release some prisoners predictably came from the liberal wing of the court, backed up by the fickle Justice Anthony Kennedy. Not surprising, the two […]
Hope The Tea Party is Taking Note of This Insanity
In Monday morning’s Wall Street Journal, an article was published by military historian and Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Max Boot. In his article, Mr. Boot passionately pleads for a sustained U.S. military presence of 20,000 or more troops in Iraq. To justify the continued presence, Mr. Boot suggests, “Having active bases in Iraq […]
Downsizing Government
Good morning. Here is the real deal on the budget from my friends at The Cato Institute. The president and the Congress continue to work against the best interests of America. Both appear totally oblivious to the massive overhaul and reduction in size of our government that is needed. Cato frames the crisis as well […]
The Mogadishu Connection
If you have not seen the 2001 Ridley Scott movie Black Hawk Down, give it a look. Somalia is not part of most folks’ vacation plans. The movie portrays what turned into an embarrassing goat rope for America, with a botched-up job at the White House and on the ground in Mogadishu. A poorly planned […]
The Opportunity of a Lifetime
A Republican candidate for president in 2012 today has the opportunity to distance himself from the pack by declaring that America’s self-interest is not being threatened by Libya. Neither the U.S. Constitution nor facts on the ground support American military intervention in Libya. Some neo-cons are now referring to Republicans as the party of freedom […]
War With Libya
When did Congress authorize this? President Obama tells the American people that the use of force in Libya was authorized by the U.N. Security Council and that the Arab League has asked for intervention. Section 8 of Article 1 in our Constitution says that “the Congress shall have Power to declare War.” Our president has […]
The Inflation President
As the world burns, the president is preparing to head to Rio to party in the sun. Exactly what has he done, of substance, to address any of the issues facing the world today? Does the president even talk to Congress anymore? After Obamacare it would seem that he cut the phone line to the […]
Now It Is Payday
This morning Mort Zuckerman summed up the economy very well in the Wall Street Journal. Americans are paying down (or defaulting on) debt and attempting to increase their savings in light of the recent recession. A significant, but often overlooked cause of the bubble, cash outs of home equity, have fallen by 90% since bubble […]
Radicals are Most Adept at Breaking the Necks of Conservatives
“The radical does not sit frozen by cold objectivity…. Society has good reason to fear the radical…. Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action—by using power…. If you have a vast organization, parade it before the enemy, openly show your power…. If your organization is too tiny even for noise, stink up the place…. Ridicule […]
House Fails with CR
House GOP leaders are using the excuse that “House rules” prohibit them from defunding Obamacare. Today there are $23.6 billion dollars headed toward the president’s desk as part of the most recent Continuing Resolution (CR). That’s the current portion of the $105.5 billion I wrote about yesterday. The rules are easily broken. As Ernest Istook […]
