Earlier this week Barack Obama and Eric Holder announced that the Obama regime and the “Justice” Department had reached a $26 billion deal with five banks in a foreclosure abuse settlement. According to the article linked to above, this deal also ends a separate investigation into Bank of America because the bank will pay a $1 billion settlement.   Barack Obama called this a “landmark event” when the announcement was made, and do you know who else must be feeling this is a landmark event at...

At the end of January Darrell Issa sent Eric Holder a letter demanding him to comply with his subpoena and provide the Oversight Committee with the requested documents related to the deadly Operation Fast and Furious scandal by February 9th or face a Contempt of Congress charge .   Well, February 9th has come and gone and yet Eric Holder faces no Contempt of Congress charge because Darrell Issa has backed down an given Eric Holder yet more time to comply with the subpoena . As if a year... Read Full Story

Mitt Romney is running on his private experience in the business sector as a jobs creator, while ignoring his record as governor of Massachusetts. Whenever one of his political rivals mentions his less than conservative record as governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney likes to fall back on the fact that the Massachusetts legislature under his tenure was 85% Democrat, so he was very limited in what he was able to accomplish. It wasn’t his fault, he was a victim of Massachusetts politics.   It... Read Full Story

Question: What do Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and now Rick Santorum have in common?  Answer: At various times during the campaign they have each posed a serious threat to Mitt Romney’s inevitability and because of this Mitt Romney has launched vigorous, brutal, and nasty attacks on these candidates in an attempt to destroy them in order to assure his assumption to the nomination which he feels he is entitled to.   I read this opinion piece on American Thinker the other day and...

The biggest news over the last week has been the Obama regime’s decree that religious institutions and charities which offer their employees healthcare coverage must change their coverage to plans which violate their religious beliefs that contraception and abortion are wrong if the plans they offer do not include free access to contraception and abortion. Needless to say, this drew a firestorm of criticism from the Catholic church, other Christian faiths, conservatives, and even some... Read Full Story

Mitt Romney has a problem with conservatives, they simply do not trust him and it is not without good reason. We have been told by the Republican establishment as well as the mainstream media that Mitt Romney is the most electable candidate and stands the best chance to defeat Barack Obama.   The mainstream media is force feeding Republican voters Mitt Romney for one reason and one reason only; they find him to be the less offensive (read, most liberal) Republican candidate in the race, and...

Eric Holder’s defense in sworn testimony about the deadly Operation Fast and Furious scandal has been this: The operation was conceived and carried out at lower levels in the Arizona ATF by rogue agents and that he–and the “Justice” Department–had nothing to do with, and was not aware that, guns were being allowed to walk into Mexico by the United States government.   But according to this article a former DEA official is making a claim that seems to contradict what Eric Holder is claiming...

On December 10th of 2011 I wrote this post about a story in North Dakota where the police called in an unmanned drone to assist in a police operation against three American citizens. In that post I admitted that this case seemed to be a benign and legitimate reason to call in unmanned drones to track down three criminals, but I also lamented the fact that eventually the use of unmanned drones would be expanded over time until there were drones flying over American cities and spying on...

Last night there were three contests in the Republican presidential primary–Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri–and it turned out to be a huge night for Rick Santorum. This was a devastating night for Mitt Romney and should be a huge boost for Rick Santorum heading into the next contests. The completeness of Mitt Romney’s defeat can be found in the margin by which Rick Santoum won; it is true that these were non-binding contests, but nonetheless the Mitt Romney camp has to be a little nervous...

If President Reagan was alive today would have been his 101st birthday. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed while we have been busy leading our lives and trying to make ends meet, but it has.   Here is a video I found at Sentry Journal that I thought my readers would enjoy: Read Full Story
