Given that at least two of my recent web postings on the race for RNC Chair dealing with Reince Priebus’ unsuitability for that particular job have made it into emailed discussion threads among all RNC Committee members, I’d like to

I’m hard-pressed to understand why a producer for the Laura Ingraham Show would misleadingly push an audio clip of Ann Wagner on her show today discussing illegal immigration as seemingly damaging. In the first place, Ingraham is certainly savvy enough

Someone sent along a link to Ed Morrisey’s Hot Air post on a USS Enterprise video kerfuffle I haven’t been following. When I first saw Captain’s Quarters years ago, the old naval battleships in the banner left, in my opinion

Team Steele promised something akin to a prize fight at the recent RNC Chairmanship debate. A Steele insider tells Power Play that the embattled chairman will “name names” and “make it personal” when he faces off with the four candidates

It’s ironic and a bit sad that Glenn Greenwald, who first gained notoriety out here in 2006 for being exposed as a sock puppet and a liar, would be ranting about Wired’s handling of the story of PFC Bradley Manning’s

There’s something curiously missing from this story on Chicago’s Mantu Dance Company. It may be the only time the company has made big news without a mention of Barack and Michelle Obama in years. One can only imagine the headlines

Of course the Society of Professional Journalists would have a “Diversity Committee.” How else could liberals continue on with the thought policing of which they became so fond in college? Now, according to the SPJ’s The Quill, they think the

Buried within the news that Jim Bopp is endorsing Reince Priebus for RNC chair, one discovers how an antiquated rule meant to demonstrate the importance of women within the GOP has helped to change the GOP’s image from the leader

It seems fair to ask, when one uses standard liberal catch-phrasing, volunteers for an organization like the NAACP, becomes party to an eminent domain lawsuit to take property from a small business on behalf of the government and is linked

On Wednesday, I wrote about the Reince Priebus stimulus problem. Yesterday, Redstate, which usually hunts RINOs, decided to carve out some of its valuable real estate to defend Priebus with an overly nuanced post. I wouldn’t exactly call it a

Several Thanksgivings ago an uncle of mine, an accomplished full Professor at a leading university, as well as an avid sportsman, made an interesting comment I’ve never forgotten. To paraphrase, Walt Disney’s 1942 classic, Bambi, was the beginning of the

When news first broke of an alleged LGBT-based hate crime at Harvard University, Harvard and the usual suspects on the Left were quick to cry bias, or hate crime. However, new facts and some curious unanswered questions are raising troubling

One can imagine the screeds emanating from the media half-wits that mutter at Media Matters for America (MMFA) had an Andrew Breitbart blogger been accused of incest; however, it appears that Arianna Huffington has not just one, but at least

From a blog post by Stacy McCain, it appears that Palin-hating Huffington Post blogger and Ivy League Professor, David Epstein stands accused of maintaining a 3-year incestuous relationship with his daughter. The daughter is said to have been over 18

One key to understanding the Pigford travesty is realizing how Barack Obama came to the point where today he is giving away billions in taxpayer dollars for potentially fraudulent Pigford-related claims. What may have begun as a legitimate 100 million

As Barack Obama prepares to sign an alleged landmark settlement to right previous wrongs dealt black farmers by the USDA, it’s important to realize that this is less a story about race, or discrimination, than it is a textbook case

With Obamacare likely to remain front and center in the political debate going into 2012, the GOP could find itself in a real bind attacking it if a former Pfizer lobbyist who helped push Obamacare, Maria Cino, ends up heading

Texas Representative Ron Paul is routinely painted as fringe, or a lunatic, at least in part for his long-standing call to audit the Federal Reserve. As the financial crisis of 2008 – 2009 played out, a compliant liberal mainstream media

Yesterday, FreedomWorks and the Conservative Steering Committee brought together four top contenders to potentially replace Michael Steele as head of a cash-strapped RNC. While the race is presumably wide-open and the event may have little bearing on how it ultimately

While Wikileaks’ Julian Assange is much in the news, there’s been very little written about the individual and the forces that likely played a role in shaping him. Certainly he’s bright enough and claims to embrace some new form of
