(Daily Caller) – Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that Obama administration officials responsible for Operation Fast and Furious might be accessories to murder…

As is well known, the movie business is pretty much dead to audiences unless you’re a teenage boy, so times is hard out here in Tinseltown for a scribe like me.

I agree with the Obama administration’s decision to kill the American-born al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki. What I can’t fathom is why the administration agrees with me.

(Monte Kuligowski) – Bill Clinton’s policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” seemed harmless enough at the time. It gave activists what they claimed to want, legal protection, while leaving in place the military’s prohibition against homosexual conduct. So long as “gay” military personnel kept their homosexuality private the relevant command was barred from making inquiry; even if code violations were suspected…

The question arises: How effective are weasel words in fighting off weasel words? With its leader having proposed to expand our deflating economy by redistributing another $1.5 trillion from private-sector producers to public-sector gluttons, the Obama Left’s talking point du jour is: “We are just asking the rich to pay their fair share.” The point here is not to rehearse the illogic of that assertion

( Click to watch) Well, another House hearing on Solyndra came and went this morning.

The recent decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss Virginia v.

President Obama still hasn’t learned the classic First Rule of Holes: When you’re in one, stop digging. Up to his earlobes in failed stimulus grants and tainted federal loan guarantees, the shoveler-in-chief tunneled forward this week on his latest Government Loans to Nowhere bill. His willful ignorance is America’s abyss

Today, during a panel discussion hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus about blacks in the military, Rep. Allen West told a young man, who referred to President Obama as a role model, that we need more black…

FOR a few days in July Barack Obama and John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, flirted with the idea of a “grand bargain” to hold down entitlement spending while increasing tax revenue. This, they briefly hoped, might unite their parties behind a durable solution to America’s deficit. But if any hope of such a grand bargain remained, it evaporated this week.In a speech in Washington, DC, on September 15th, Mr Boehner flatly declared tax increases “off the table”

Obama’s presidency lurches from fad to fad — from gays in the military to “green jobs” to the “Buffett rule.” Hyped as a profound presidency, it has turned out to be an embarrassingly frivolous one.

“DO YOU recognise the irreconcilable class antagonism between workers and capitalists that exists under the present economic system?” That is question one on the membership application form of the Socialist Labour Party of America. A helpful note explains that all questions must be answered Yes for an application to be considered. This insistence on ideological purity may explain why the fortunes of the party have disappointed of late.

Journalism, they say, is a rough draft of history.

Let the sun shine in… After I blogged last week about Barack Obama’s burgeoning LightSquared scandal, I received a miffed e-mail from billionaire hedge fund manager/Obama donor/LightSquared principal backer Philip Falcone under the subject line “Tip.” Falcone defended the Obama administration and noted that the predecessor to LightSquared, called Skyterra, had benefited from some previous regulatory approvals under the Bush administration. (Sound familiar

The media finally conceded the Obama administration to be inexperienced and inept, reminiscent of the Carter administration — but, they maintained, not possibly involved in any corruption. Then suddenly scandals erupted on nearly every conceivable front: the crony-capitalist half-billion-dollar loan guarantee to a now bankrupt Solyndra; the Fast and Furious gun deal, in which, in lunatic fashion, the U.S. government sold deadly automatic weapons to Mexican drug-cartel killers; the administration’s pressure on a four-star general to fudge his testimony as a favor to a big campaign donor whose suspect company, LightSquared, was doing business with the Pentagon; and the politically inspired dropping of investigations by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department

The Obama Pentagon’s faulty report was sheer denial of the harm to our armed forces’ effectiveness.

From CNS News: A new poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans give the U.S. military and the CIA a “great deal” of credit for finding and killing terrorist Osama bin Laden, while slightly over one-third give a “great deal” of credit to President Barack Obama for Bin Laden’s demise. In the USA Today/Gallup [...]

From CNS News: The White House says President Barack Obama plans to sign the repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay service members on Wednesday, four days after the Senate voted to abolish the policy. Obama’s signature would end the Pentagon’s 17-year, “don’t-ask, don’t tell” policy and fulfill a 2008 presidential campaign promise. The [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: The long-awaited White House Review on Afghanistan demonstrates that General Petraeus’ counterinsurgency strategy is beginning to pay dividends. The additional U.S. troops deployed to Afghanistan have helped the U.S. and coalition forces begin to uproot the Taliban from some of their traditional strongholds in southern Afghanistan. The most important task now [...]
