Why did Feinstein release the report now?
In my earlier post about the release of the Senate’s Intelligence Committee’s report on harsh interrogation practices under the Bush administration, I characterized the report as a partisan attempt to return to the good old days of Bush-bashing, when Democrats … Continue reading →
Obamacare cost-saving, and Gruber: it’s lies all the way down
Let’s not forget good old Obamacare. The administration hasn’t, and the lies keep coming: On Dec. 3, federal actuaries released data showing that health spending inched up only 3.6 percent in 2013. Marilyn Tavenner, the head of Medicare and Medicaid, … Continue reading →
Here’s my question about the death of The New Republic
If you’re going to buy the venerable liberal publication The New Republic only to turn it into a “digital media company,” why bother to buy it at all? Why not just start your own digital media company and leave TNR … Continue reading →
Charles Barkley, changer, defends the thin blue line
I used to be a basketball fan, but haven’t watched the sport in decades. I do remember Barkley quite vividly as a player, for his hulking (he was stocky rather than super-tall) aggressiveness that sometimes segued into combativeness. Odd that … Continue reading →

Hey, let’s have some more tyranny
This is an extraordinary article urging more sweeping executive action from Obama on immigration. It’s extraordinary in that it completely ignores the constitutional questions involved in what Obama has done. It’s written by Robert Morganthau, a New York lawyer and … Continue reading →
Buh-bye, Hagel
I’m certainly no Hagel fan. Just do a search for “Hagel” on this blog and you’ll see what I think of his competence, intelligence, and fitness for the job of Secretary of Defense. Now Hagel has been fired—or rather, submitted … Continue reading →
Ebola news: Salia, Hickox
Last night when I heard that Dr. Martin Salia, a Sierra Leone native who is married to a US citizen and who contacted ebola while treating patients in his native country, had been flown here for treatment and was in … Continue reading →
Gruber certainly got around, didn’t he?
So many Gruber videos surfacing, so much Obamacare deception. So little MSM coverage. However, if Romney ever decides to run in 2016 (which I do not think he will, nor do I think he should), you better believe Gruber’s admission … Continue reading →
