I wrote an article a few weeks back about a bond holder revolt that was pretty much unreported because it was far too serious of a news issue for most media outlets to both with much less understand. As the debt load of the government goes through the roof it has been harder and harder to find buyers willing to finance that ballooning debt. Continue reading →

Speakerette of the House Nancy Pelosi, who on a nearly daily basis is showing she is not qualified to be Speaker much less a Representative much less given a little hemp sack and a sticker to pick up trash in the local park, is at it again. And she is flashing her Marxist stripes by attacking the health insurance industry in another poor attempt at deflecting blame from the fact that from start to finish the Obamacare plan she is trying to ram through Congress violates the Constitution she is supposed to be supporting.

CNSNews.com is reporting that whitehouse.gov is getting far fewer hits as the months roll on, a sign that people are less and less interested in what Obama has to say compared to just a few months ago. Continue reading →

Senator Arlen Specter ran scared at the thought of having to compete against Pat Toomey in the 2010 Senatorial primary here in PA. We all know how it went down. Specter, realizing that he barely beat Toomey last time around and seeing polls that had him loosing badly to Pat, jumped back to the Party where he was originally at the start of his political career and never really left; the Democratic Party.

Flush with power, liberals in Congress are using that power to censor the bodies members. Connie Hair in Human Events writes all about how the censors on the Franking Commission, a body that monitors correspondence between Congressmen and their constituents for truthfulness, is apparently going out of their way to prevent Republican members from sending out information because they do not like the words being used.

Consider this as we continue to debate the insanity of a socialized national health insurance scheme. I would say “plan” but the craziness of the concept doesn’t quite rise to that level of competence. So consider this … we already have a “national” health care and insurance plan. Actually we have several of them; Medicare & Medicaid just to name the most prominent and SCHIP is yet another. Continue reading →

Honduras ex-President, Manuel Zelaya, is doing once again what leftists are good at doing – threatening violence if they are not given power. Zelaya, you will recall, was ousted from power when he attempted to defy the Honduran Constitution and call for a referendum to prolong his stay in office. The nation’s high court, their popularly elected legislative body and the army all disagreed and united to stop him, removing him from power after he continued to try and rewrite the country’s constitution with a mob at his side.

Obama’s Presidential Approval Index Rating (measured by Rasmussen as the difference between those that strongly approve and those that strongly disapprove of the President) dipped even lower to a score of -11 today. It is the lowest result ever for President Obama and indicative of a continuing downward trend in his popularity. Overall just 49% approve of President Obama’s performance, down from 65% on January 21st. Continue reading →

Many darker toned Americans have a problem saying anything bad about President Obama. Which is a shame because it leads many to believe they are just acting in that way because he is black as well. Recently President Obama weighed in on a situation in Cambridge, Massachusetts where officers responded to a report of a break in at the residences of a black Harvard professor. There were there because the neighbor saw two black men attempting to forcibly open the front door. Upon arrival the officer on the scene began to question a man he found in the residence who turned out to be, unknown to the officer, the resident of the home and a Harvard professor.

When the White House under President Bush sought to keep information private about meetings between Vice President Cheney and energy company executives (and other knowledgeable individuals in the industry) during talks about how to develop a national energy policy (something that the President really doesn’t have the authority to do) the left went ballistic. They demanded visitor logs and meeting minutes because Dick Cheney was Darth Vader and the energy companies were the devil. Continue reading →

Communists in the United States started calling themselves “progressives” when the term communist became too politically charged. Then when the term progressive became a political liability for them, after all it was the same people and same dumb ideas and just a different name, they took to calling themselves liberals. So when today’s liberals propose something it has its roots in collectivism; some form or another of socialism, communism, fascism, etc. That is, after all, who they are. Continue reading →

Here is something I did not know when I wrote my earlier piece concerning the flooding in a local town here in Pittsburgh called Turtle Creek. The government actually has a website that tells you if you are living in a flood plain and what your risk of being flooded is! Continue reading →

Nearly a month ago, Turtle Creek Pennsylvania got flooded. Why were their floods in Turtle Creek? Because Turtle Creek is in a flood plain. Duh! Flood plain equals flooding. Continue reading →
