Yes, the whole sordid affair of Bernie Madoff is finally coming to a close. But the shattered lives he left in his wake will long bear the scars of their encounter with a man whose lust for power knows no bounds. Of course one must still question the intelligence of anyone that believed his claims of guaranteed returns despite market ups and downs. In the end Madoff, 71, gets 150 years which, judging by how our judicial system works, means he will be eligible to get out of prison some time just before Thanksgiving to partake of juicy some turkey.

President Barack Obama has a serial pattern of who he supports and who he condemns. In Iran, he initially tried to take credit for the happenings there as some great uprising and experiment in Democracy only to back track as it appeared as through the current regime of Mahmoud I-Need-A-Jihad stole an election and the government cracked down on anyone that dared protest. Then he became troubled and concern. Result, Obama stood with a dictatorial regime and against those that at least were trying to better their lots in life. Continue reading →

The case of President Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as President rolls on. While most of the cases have been essentially thrown out over vacuous claims such as lack of jurisdiction (even though the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over “all Cases, in Law and Equity arising under [the] Constitution” (Article III, Section 2), and the eligibility requirements are definitely “under” the Constitution being in them, to claims that American citizens have no standing before the court to make sure that the Constitution is upheld. The argument has also been made by states that they have no authority to check the eligibility of candidates even though several times in the past candidates have had their eligibility checked only to find out that they were not eligible and then removed from the ballot.

Monica Conyers, wife of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), and the chairwoman of the Detroit City Council (if you can believe that stupidity) would be more at home in a 3rd world banana republic than in these United States. Of course she is in Detroit so that is about as close as you can get to such here in the civilized world. Continue reading →

If ever there was a reason to throw the bums out of Congress from Nancy Pelosi on down it is because they repeatedly vote on legislation that they do not read! It happened with TARP and now it has happened again on the Global Warming/Cap And Trade bill that was just passed tonight despite the fact that human made CO2 (which the bill regulates among other things) is well proven to not be causing global warming.

For years I have said that Justice Clarence Thomas is perhaps one of the finest legal minds in the world. Sure, I have disagreed with him at times on what I think are clear cut errors on his part, but by enlarge he is right on and his opinions are intelligent unlike those of some other Justices by the names of Ginsberg, Souter, Kennedy, etc. And he has shown it again in a case that you have to be careful with not to overreact to based on what you think at first.

President Barack Obama thought that by getting himself an infomercial on ABC for his plans to further act beyond the authority of the Constitution and socialize health care in America he would have a captive audience. But his appearance garnered less attention than other network shows in the 10 PM hour, one of which was a CSI repeat! The report is not all too flattering for a White House that is trying to push its plans to further ruin America and destroy liberty even on the heals of a stacked New York Times poll that way over sampled Obamatons to try and show overwhelming support for the President’s plans.

Try as hard as he might to deny it, Representative Barney Frank was part of the problem that lead to the collapse of the lending system in the United States. We all by now are painfully aware of how Frank (and other liberals) defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from criticism of loose lending standards claiming that the two organizations were sound only to watch them come crashing down as those loose lending standards came back to bite them in the ass. Well, now we are back to the past as Barney Frank wants these institutions, which recently tightened up standards in the wake of the housing collapse, to loosen standards again. Continue reading →

It is coming. At 2pm South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is going to address the media with regards to his audacity to take a little respite without daring to inform the media exactly where he was going so that they could blurb it on their sites and in their papers. Yes, the saga of the vanishing governor has certainly generated a lot of media attention by the media themselves trying to get answers as to why they were not kept continually informed as to exactly what Governor Sanford was doing at every given moment.

California is a basket case. The whole place is totally dysfunctional to the point where if it were an actual person it would have been committed to a nut farm. Now, in order to balance the books which are awash in a sea of red ink due to asinine promises everyone with a brain knew would not be able to be kept the state has turned to raising taxes. First up? Say goodbye to part of your child tax credit! Continue reading →

Mario Lavandeira (aka Perez Hilton) learned that his big mouth can indeed get him into trouble. The radical gay heterophobe recently made the news, you will recall, after asking Miss California, Carrie Prejean, a politically charged question on the made up institution of “gay marriage” which was recently once again rejected by the voters of California. Hilton then proceeded to show what a crackpot he really is by railing against Ms. Prejean openly after the incident and even admitted to giving her a damaging score because she refused to give the politically correct answer he sought.

It is a strange day indeed when the French are tougher on radical Muslims than the United States. As Obama has been doing almost everything within his power to NOT seem too critical of the radical left wing (and it is left wing because it believes in oppression of liberties by the State) government of Iran as it cracks down on protesters following an election where millions more people voted than exist (ACORN running the polling booths over there?) French President Nicolas Sarkozy has some harsh things to say about women wearing burqas in France. Continue reading →

Shh. Don’t tell anyone but President Obama’s approval rating is dropping. It isn’t in free fall, but there is a disturbing trend that has got to have the left worried beyond all belief. With the economy failing to turn around like the White House promised (remember the 8% max unemployment promise?), Obama’s weak responses to North Korea and Iran and the left getting increasingly antsy that they do not have a socialist utopia yet (although they do have several banks and car companies) things are getting rough. Continue reading →

After President Obama’s first, and very tepid, response to recent events in Iran where it appears that voter fraud on the scale that ACORN and the left could only hope for pushed the national elections in Mahmoud I-need-a-jihad’s favor, the President appears to have decided that it was time for his own version of a strongly worded letter be sent. Continue reading →

Quite a few readers have been sending me the claim that even Obama’s own doctor is against socialized medicine. I do not know how this rumor got started but perhaps it has something to do with the title of this Forbes article called “Obama’s Doctor Knocks ObamaCare.” However the truth is that Obama’s doctor, David Scheiner, is actually a believer in socialized medicine. He just doesn’t think that Obama’s current proposals go far enough! Continue reading →
