Donaldson Joins Couric: Warns GOP of Limbaugh, Beck & Palin (Video) Sunday, November 8, 2009 Jim Hoft Sam Donaldson on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday warns Republicans not to follow the lead of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck: Let me tell you that the wake-up call for the Republicans was the New York’s 23rd. Now just as Rush Limbaugh couldn’t prevent the Party from nominating John McCain despite his best efforts, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the gang could not prevent that district for the first time in a hundred years from going Democratic. Because they had a candidate, well he...

This is a video of a fellow going out into the street to try and sell a one ounce gold coin, worth approximately $1100 for between $5-$50. Either no one trusts him, or they don't know how much gold is worth.

November 8 Megan Whittemore McDonnell's Winning Strategy Virginia Governor-elect Bob McDonnell seems to have found a winning formula for unifying his party and delivering a clear message. During the campaign McDonnell focused on jobs, the economy, transportation and education while staying positive. "We kept it overwhelmingly positive, giving people an uplifting alternative for the future," McDonnell told Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday. "We, I think, tapped into some of the sentiment at the national level on the issues of card check, cap and trade, and some under-funded mandates and things like that that were not resonating well with Virginia...

Yesterday, our nation suffered a tragic occurrence at Fort Hood Army Base in Fort Hood, TX. Here is what we know. On Thursday morning, November 5th, 2009, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim originally from Virginia, but stationed at Fort Hood, woke up and proceeded sometime thereafter to give away his belongings. He called a few friends and said thanks and/or goodbyes. He got dressed, not in his military issued uniform, but in the customary Muslim garb. He carried with him two handguns. He then went to the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, the place where soldiers soon leaving for or...

November 7, 2009 House Jumps One Hurdle By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN The House approved the rule governing debate of the big health care legislation by a vote of 242 to 192, suggesting but not guaranteeing that Democrats would have the votes to pass the bill itself later on Saturday. The House Debate Fifteen Democrats joined all 177 Republicans in opposition. One Democrat did not vote. As a result the Democrats seemed to have a comfortable margin, with 24 more yes votes than they need for final passage of the bill. The speaker pro tempore, Representative John D. Dingell, Democrat of...

Subject: U.S. Census GPS From: Keith H Date: Wed, November 4, 2009 To: Ken Adachi Hi Ken, Found this interesting comment on www.markswatson.com Nov 4 posting. US Census And GPS Mapping Was The Implementation Of A UN Plan - by JK Kelly A great deal of speculation has taken place about the small army of census takers that has been reported GPS mapping individual buildings and residences across the country. A recently discovered UN document reveals the reasons behind this development. It turns out that GPS surveying is not limited to the US alone. UN document ESA/STAT/AC.98/14 (http://www.markswatson.com/globgpsun.pdf) details plans...

In your opinion, why was Obama quick to condemn Officer Crowley and the other police officers with him, but not quick to condemn Nidal Malik Hasan? Why would Obama (after he said that he did not have all of the information) say that the police officers "acted stupidly" yet was not quick to condemn Hasan by calling him a Muslim terrorist? Why does Obama show restraint when talking about people like Hasan, yet does not show restraint when talking about police officers like Crowley?

Dear Congressman Neal (MA-2): As you know, I have several times called your office and written to you regarding my questions about Obamacare and stating my opposition to it. In response, I have received one form letter in which is reprinted the Democrat talking points and ending with the suggestion that I'm just not smart enough to understand the bill's brilliance. Because you hide from conservative constituants (see: last summer's closed-door "town hall" into which only preselected Liberals were admitted), let me take this opportunity to ask an additional question. As I have waded-through the House's ever-changing bill, I have...

I live a good life....a hard one, but I go to sleep peacefully @ night knowing that I may have made a difference in someone's life

Today, some thugs tried to attack my girlfriend on the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Metro Transit Route 5, all because we asked them to turn down their loud and disruptive music. They refused and they tried to attack my girlfriend. They quickly found out the hard way that I'm a black belt in Taekwondo. :) They got a few shots on me to my head and I had to go to the hospital to get checked, but I feel better now. I took the night off of school tonight, but I can make up the lab later on. Oh, and they weren't...

Over the years I've had many fish tanks. More recently I had to "settle" for goldfish because of exigent circumstances. Got a couple of "junk fish" from Wal-Mart and a used an old 30 gal tank. These hearty goldfish thrived and lived literally through fire and ice storms. I named them Franny and Zooey. They thrived and grew and "loved" each other. On occasion they developed "Ick" - Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, a single-celled parasite also known as Ich. Treatment with medications always solved the infection. A few days ago Ich raised it's ugly head and, despite "heroic" efforts short of CRP,...

It’s On and IT’S MASSIVE– “Kill the Bill Rally” In DC! [Pics in URL] Thursday, November 5, 2009 Jim Hoft Ed Schultz sends these photos from the steps of the US Capital—–

Liberals wail.

So – my fellow conservatives – Was defending Carrie Prejean worth it or did we prop her up on a pedestal a little too soon? Was it really a good idea to see her as our poster girl just because we salivated over a few sentences that she uttered at a beauty pageant? We should have known better using a beauty queen to try to get our message across. What were we thinking? And yes, I am sure that we can thank our good friends on the left for digging up these uncomplimentary images and video about Prejean. That’s what...

If anyone needed a huge postfight bonus at UFC 104, it was Pat Barry. The heavyweight out of New Orleans, scored Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night for his victory over Antoni Hardonk. That was good enough for $120,000. Good thing, Barry needed the infusion of cash in the worst way. He confirmed to MMAScrapsRadio that he was completely down on his luck before the fight, agreeing that he had little to eat in Los Angeles the week of the fight.

Crazy Nancy Pelosi: “We Won Last Night” …Lies Twice About NY-23 Race November 4, 2009 Jim Hoft They lost the Virginia gubanatorial race by 18 points in a state Barack Obama won by 6 points last year. They lost the New Jersey gubanatorial race by 4 points in a state Barack Obama won by 15 points last year. But, facts don’t matter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi She rejoiced today saying, “We won last night.” “From our perspective, we won last night,” the California Democrat told reporters during a Wednesday photo op. “We had one race that we were engaged in,...

The White House has no obligation to correct willful ignorance. Glenn Beck, the popular Fox News host, has a red telephone on his desk that never seems to ring. Every now and then, in a moment of acute frustration, he will pick it up and give the camera his trademark pleading-puppy look. What Mr. Beck wants to hear from the phone are answers, and he wants to hear them from the highest authority in the land: the phone, he says, is "a dedicated line right to the White House." And when Mr. Beck gets things wrong, he wants his antagonists...

With Republican victories in key positions in this month's elections, and because several respondents said one week wasn't enough time to prepare the proper protest, we've decided to extend the deadline for entries into the Dave Weinbaum Cyber Tea Party until November 30th!

Dem Strategist Accuses Democrats of Dirty Tricks In New Jersey Governor’s Race (Video) Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Jim Hoft Are democrats cheating in New Jersey? Democratic strategist Pat Caddell accused democrats of dirty tricks in the New Jersey Governor’s race today. There have been 15 times more absentee ballots turned in this year in Camden, New Jersey than last year when Barack Obama was running for president.

Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch Trashes FOX News Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Jim Hoft Even children’s shows are not safe from the far left. Oscar the Grouch trashed FOX News this week: Big Hollywood reported: Last week, in a re-broadcast of an episode that originally aired two years ago, Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network). An irate viewer calls in to berate him that the news is not grouchy enough: “I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching ‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.”

Democrats said that the outing of a CIA agent, personnel, whatever, was bad, and said that someone's head in the Bush Administration had to roll. Democrats wanted Cheney, but didn't get him. When the New York Times outs Karzai's brother as supposedly being paid by the CIA to do who knows what, Democrats act as if it is no big deal. What gives?

Representative Boehner, In regards to the Republican Party's intention to offer an alternative health care bill, I can only respectfully say, "What in the world are you thinking!?" I am simply flabbergasted that in response to the shift to conservative principles occurring in this country and the rejection of huge government spending programs, your response is to offer... a huge government spending program!? Not only does this violate every principle of conservatism, but it also takes away the chief weapon our party will be able to employ in 2010, which is the Democrat Party’s propensity to spend this country into...

This past Sunday, I deviated from my usual schedule of going to Noon Mass on Sunday at my parish and decided instead to go to 9 PM Sunday Mass at a local University's chapel. I am familiar with the college chapel's Mass- I've been to it a few times. Sometimes the Mass is recited outside the rubrics of the Novus Ordo liturgy, but the campus ministry program is run by genuinely good people. However, my perception of this college's campus ministry changed last night. During the prayer intentions after the Nicene Creed, the lector asked that we pray for all...

Rush Limbaugh on Sarah Palin: She’s Ready to Be President (Video) Sunday, November 1, 2009 Jim Hoft Rush Limbaugh predicted today that Barack Obama will be a one term president. Rush also told Chris Wallce that, “Yes, she’s ready to be president.” From FOX News Sunday: Chris Wallace: Sarah Palin. You say that you admire her backbone. Do you really think she’s ready to be president? Rush Limbaugh: Well, yes I do. One thing I do not do is follow conventional wisdom. And the conventional wisdom is that Sarah Palin is not smart enough. She needs to bone up on...

It is high time Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw were taken to task for their support of Barrack Husein Obama. I first must admit that I have been a fan of Brad and Tim for a long time. I love the way they put to tune and words of how it is to be a man is in the world. After all, how can you not enjoy listening to the way Brad strings together the words in his song titled, “I'm Still A guy”, or how he seems to lay his heart out in the tune titled, “I'm Gonna Miss...

Obama Touts Good Economic News, Yet Warns More Job Loss to Come October 31, 2009 ABC News' Jordyn Phelps and Sunlen Miller report: President Obama touted good news in the economic recovery in his weekly address, pointing to Thursday’s report that GDP has grown for the first time in over a year and credited his administration in helping to bring about a conclusion to the current economic recession. “We can see clearly now that the steps my administration is taking are making a difference, blunting the worst of this recession and helping to bring about its conclusion,” the president said...

Tomorrow is Halloween or as known to the Pagans as Samhain, or even All Hallows eve. What ever. To me, it is a massive party night! I wonder what our President and First Wookie will be wearing on their first Halloween? Up until now, the First Wookie has been scary enough with her outfits, so dressing up for Halloween can only appear normal compared to what we, the American people have seen. As for scary? Well we have already been scared by the bills they are trying to pass and have already passed. Ghosts and goblins on Halloween? Those are...

would I be better off renewing my max $4000 FSA for 2010 or not, thereby raising my taxible income for 2010? I'm assuming the FSA can/will disappear via Obummercare(should it pass.) I'm thinking the money would best be spent on paying off a credit card?

I know I need Windows 7. But, I have used xp for years. Just got a laptop with Vista a few weeks ago. My pc died and now I'm stuck temporarily with my vista laptop. Here's my problem that is driving me crazy!! Sometimes copy/paste will work with right click, sometimes not(on web sites/email, never when it used to) Spellcheck will show the misspelled word, but the right click does nothing!! Why??? No right click page reload either! Is this just one of the reasons people hated Vista?? This is insane!

Loving memory of a loving mother who went home to her Lord 10/21/07!

The memorable scene from that day is the photo for this article What if George W. Bush had done that?"

The Obama administration, from time to time, keeps saying that x number of jobs are being "saved or created" and yet we keep seeing more and more people losing their jobs. It seems as if the Obama administration is saying that despite there being a net number of jobs lost, that x number of jobs are still being "saved or created." If so, then where is the proof? Where is the quantifiable evidence of where these jobs are being "saved or created" and when they were "saved or created" to back up the veracity of the so-called x number of...

Anne Lauvergeon, president of Areva, distinguished herself during the Women's Forum Global Meeting on October 15 - 17 in Deauville. For the occasion, 1200 women from the world of business and politics gathered for a few days of "discussions and reflections" around the theme: "Tomorrow!" Judge for yourselves the level of thinking of Madame Lauvergeon, who said of the hiring process: "All things being equal, well, sorry, we would choose, uh, the woman, or we would choose the person who, uh, is anything but a white male, to speak frankly." So tomorrow holds no future for white males, according to...

Fearmongering First Lady Pushes Nationalized Health Care (Video) Monday, October 26, 2009 Jim Hoft Michelle Obama made a video to push for the nationalized health care this weekend. The First Lady made sure to focus on the horrors facing women in the United States under the present private system: Via FOX Nation The fearmongering First Lady pulled out all the stops to push for the dem’s government controlled health care legislation: In some states, maternity care is not covered because pregnancy can be seen as a pre-existing condition.

A prelude to what will happen under Obamacare. What a horrible day this started out to be. We woke our kids up at their usual time on a school day to get in line for H1N1 vaccinations. The Oakland County Health Department got the word out this week that vaccinations will be occurring in 2 places. The nearest to us was Clarkston Jr High School. Initially we went to the high school because that's what the email told us. We rolled in at 8:15am for a clinic that started at 9. Nobody there except people leaving the building saying that...

“…For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. …”~W.B. Yeats First, my title is in no way intended to be a slight to C.S. Lewis, but rather a tribute and expression of gratitude for his many works that have profoundly influenced my intellectual and spiritual life these past years. Mimicry, it is said, is the sincerest form of flattery, and while I get the impression that Mr. Lewis was not particularly prone to vanity, I like to think he might be smiling down with the knowledge that my humble efforts here have grown out of thoughts and...
