Joe Biden, as well as Barack Obama, John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam), and a host of other Democrats.

I was sitting at an intersection today that I haven’t had occasion too in some time. It occurred to me that this seemed oddly familiar, the time of day, the intersection, and the fact I was in the left turn lane waiting for the light.

The hospital, Medical City, located at the intersectio... Read Full Story

Is this is any indication? Nearly 35 years after taxpayers spent $55.7 million building the Pontiac Silverdome and a year after a $20 million sale fell through, city officials have sold the arena once called the most desirable property in Oakland County. The price: $583,000. “This was a giveaway,” said David J. Leitch, a broker with an Auburn Hills based realty firm. By my calculations, that’s about 1% of the actual cost to build the dome. The winning bidders also got the s... Read Full Story

What do you call a person who is pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, pro-tax increases, anti-gun rights, pro-Obama stimulus, pro-Obamacare, and pro-card check? In a glowing puff piece to NY-23’s Dede Scozzafava, The Washington Post calls this person a GOP moderate. And there’s more! Why, she’s a victim of a dysfunctional GOP purge, of course. Conservatives however, have another name for a person who holds these views. We simply call them “Democrats.” Poor Dede. It ... Read Full Story
