By way of law and order and in an effort to protect its citizenry, the state of Georgia has enacted an anti-illegal immigration law similar to SB 1070 proposed by the state of Arizona. Georgia’s measure seeks to “empower police
Well, here we go. Michele Bachmann’s impressive performance at Monday’s GOP Presidential debate, followed by her formal campaign launch, have kicked lefty smear merchants into gear, as evidenced by Michelle Goldberg’s latest piece in the Daily Beast. Titled “Bachmann’s Unrivaled
As we survey the political landscape, things don’t look so good for President Obama. Unemployment remains high (over 9%), fuel prices remain high (Obama said “get used to it“), we are still in Libya (“days not weeks“), and Americans who
Finally, Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) did the honorable thing: he folded up his towel and handed in his pass to the House Members Gym in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building. Weiner must have “heed[ed] calls from President
It’s all over. The Democrats finally have owned up to what everyone else in America has known for the past two and a half years. Dual-hatted Congresswoman and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz claimed that her party “owns the economy.”
If they’re not stumping for him and serving as an unofficial economic advisor during the 2008 campaign or footing the bill for his swearing-in ceremony, they’re accommodating the 2012 campaign with special deals involving their new advertising product. Google denied
BigGovernment has been informed by trusted sources that Rep. Anthony Weiner will step down today. From The New York Times: Representative Anthony D. Weiner has told friends that he plans to resign his seat after coming under growing pressure from

A former federal prosecutor and a former New York state prison official who investigated radical Islamist recruitment will discuss the threat of prison radicalization during a House hearing Wednesday. Former prosecutor Kevin Smith likely will discuss a California case in

***UPDATE: The DNC just released a video that makes my case perfectly. CNN asks a series of dumb questions that have little to do with the important issues of the day and the DNC exploits this with a viral-video mocking
From Accuracy in Media‘s Michael Watson: While researchers at King Juan Carlos University in Spain found in 2009 that the Spanish “green jobs” program killed over two jobs for every one it created, Politico notes that “the White House can’t
After two of the best months a potential presidential candidate could possibly have, the Daily Caller lobbed a grenade at the Palin Camp Sunday night in the form of a John Ziegler piece titled: “The Sarah Palin I Know.” The
The media is having another Al Capone’s vault moment. Eager members of the MSM and progressive bloggers have been poring over 24,000 emails from Palin’s time as governor and still, the most shocking thing remains the media’s obsession with a
Last night we reported that Politico had falsely attributed an attack on Michele Bachmann to Sarah Palin, and now Politico has corrected the “error”: An editing error caused a false attribution in an earlier version of this column. A comment

So the perfect narrative for any movie is “David vs. Goliath.” The whistleblower vs. the evil corporation. the tough reporter vs the corrupt politician. the half-naked talk show host vs. a team of rambunctious houseboys. But for the narrative to
One of my favorite thing in politics occurs whenever reporters fabricate entire hit pieces on politicians based on “unnamed sources.” David Cantanese bases a thinly-disguised editorial diatribe against Missouri’s Lt. Governor Peter Kinder in this latest example, writing: Peter Kinder,
[Ed. Note: This is a Friday Gregalogue] Yeah, seems old, just three days ago…. So buried in a recent Politico article, is this tidbit about Congressman Weiner. “Two people who spoke to him privately said he had suggested that, as
Politico: Breitbart went unnoticed by the huge media throng until a POLITICO and New York Observer reporter approached him, and tweeted about it. Word spread that he was on the premises, and the cameramen quickly rushed over, surrounding him by
