The story of the week should have included how the White House altered talking points to hide what they knew. The story of the week should have mentioned that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Barack Obama has been president since January of 2009. On his third day on the job he signed an Executive Order closing the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Order was called “Closure of Guantanamo Detention Facilities.” Pretty straight forward. But this afternoon, on this 100th day of President Obama’s second term, questions were […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Last night was the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Red NoVA was, once again, not offered an invitation. Conan O’Brien was the host and he did a fine job. The pic below is a link that will take you to C-SPAN’s clip on YouTube of Conan’s part. Some of Conan’s highlights: -”I love the Hilton. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Speaker John Boehner released a special report tonight on the 9/11 terrorist attack on our embassy in Benghazi. The report is critical of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her decisions involving the overall level of security there. The report also identifies the White House as being involved in altering the information to cover […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Explosions hit Boston. Right now it is being reported that two explosions went off this afternoon at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and another explosion went off near a library. Reports are continuing to come in about other suspicious packages that are being found at various locations in the city. While it is way […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Senator Rand Paul shut down the Senate yesterday to ask a hypothetical question to the president. The question is an easy one; does the Constitution give the president the authority to order a drone strike on an American citizen on American soil without due process? The answer is of course not. But the Attorney General […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The latest pay-for-play making news in DC is President Obama’s Organizing For America. This non-profit group pushes the president’s agenda while selling tickets to meet him for reportedly as high as half a million dollars. The White House claims there is no wrong doing here. Ethical or not, this is what happens when we elect […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Here are two great political cartoons which accurately describe President Obama’s contribution to the sequestration debate. The top one is by Mike Shelton on Watchdog.org and the second is by Nate Beeler from The Columbus Dispatch.
“On the road again Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We’re the best of friends. Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way is on the road again.” -Willie Nelson President Obama loves to travel. He doesn’t like to stay at the office and work. Once again we […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The White House has released 50 state reports on the sequester cuts and the sky-is-falling calamity that will ensue if a new deal is not agreed to. The Virginia report is as scary as any costume wearing maniac killer film. Here are some of the highlights: -“Virginia will lose about $348,000 in funding for job […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
George Will’s article in The Washington Post yesterday is excellent. He really puts the numbers of the looming sequester cuts in perspective. If we can’t tolerate cutting 2.3 percent of current spending then we must not be able to handle any decrease in spending at all. That just can’t be. This will not do any […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yesterday Congress decided to pass legislation that will put-off having to deal with our nation’s staggering debt until May 19th. The president will sign it and press conferences will be held announcing this as some sort of accomplishment. It is preposterous to suggest that Congress has done their job here. Let’s put this in real […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The fiscal cliff is the story of the week. Where exactly the term originated is debatable. It means economic calamity, so the title makers believe. More accurately it means that the government would have to bite the bullet and cut itself in one big swipe. Instead of falling off, we are being told that the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When states join the Right to Work club all they are saying is that if you want to work you don’t have to join a union. Right to Work is pro-worker, pro-jobs, pro-growth and consistent with democratic principles. Now Michigan joins the club. Yesterday their legislature passed bills that will allow the state which is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Parked next to me at Popeye’s the other day was a car displaying the bumper sticker pictured below. This slogan is entirely false. God gave us the weekends. Religion predates organized labor unions by centuries. The Sabbath used to be a day of no work. Jews picked Saturday then Christians picked Sunday. Shops were closed on […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
