Would you rather be ruled by George Soros or Barack Obama? George Soros with his Open Society money plus the Chicago Marxist contingency of Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Penny Pritzker, and Barack Obama are five people I'm inclined to group as the Biden puppet masters. Is there a pecking order among them? Does it matter? I suppose it matters to these individual megalomaniacs, but to anyone else? No. Just get that totalitarian state up and running. Maybe it will matter when all nations are under someone's thumb and one of those thumbs wants to be the one-world Big Thumb. Not...

The electoral college of course votes on Monday. However, the House of Representatives doesn't register the votes until January 6. Still, will we know the results of the voting on Monday (or before January 6)?

I have seen several reports of Clinton aides calling hillary incompetent, or having poor instincts, or having mental problems. Does anyone know who these aides are and how many there are.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor was questioning former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, a pro-gay marriage Republican. She brought up a very interesting question during the exchange: If gay marriage is legal, what about polygamy? Sotomayor asked, "If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what state restrictions could ever exist?" before referencing "polygamy and incest among adults," as reported by Matt Canham of the Salt Lake Tribune. The argument is an illustration of a broader issue about the culture of American society. To agree that gay marriage is indeed protected by the "equal protection" clause in the Constitution, wouldn't the...

Tonight we can see a concerted effort by the New York Times and other Mainstream media attributing their stories to the New York Times, to destroy the political career of Richard Blumenthal, the Democratic candidate for the US Senate from Connecticut. I assume the claims are accurate, and Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam and about being captain of his swim team at Harvard. We know that Blumenthal is despicable, as we saw him work hand in glove with ACORN to coerce private businesspeople into returning their compensation bonuses. My question is this: The New York Times is an agenda-driven...

In his Monday speech to CIA employees, President Obama aimed to assure an agency where some are suspicious of him. His decision to release details of interrogation techniques used on terrorists risked making operatives fearful of political second-guessing and raised fears our enemies would get an advantage. Against that backdrop, the President expressed one of the more remarkable passages of his young tenure, one worth repeating in full: "What makes the United States special, and what makes you special, is precisely the fact that we are willing to uphold our values and our ideals even when it's hard, not just...

Palin/McCain: Still Not Good Enough What? It's McCain/Palin! No, public attention has been focused more on Palin then McCain, and Palin polls better with Republicans than McCain. If McCain wins, it will not be because of McCain, so to speak. Yes he did make a great choice. McCain has proven he is a better decision maker than Obama in the fact that he picked a VP running mate that has energized his base. Obama, on the other hand, acted like a child with a grudge when he could not suck it up like a man and pick Hillary Clinton,...

Hillary who? Chapter two Peter Lemiska August 12, 2005 In November 2003, I wrote an opinion piece entitled "Hillary Who?" about Senator Clinton's widely publicized Thanksgiving visit to our troops in Afghanistan and the negligible media coverage the event generated. That was because all the attention was focused on President Bush's surprise visit to honor our men and women fighting in Baghdad. It was a PR disaster for the senator and must have been devastating. Earlier this week, Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced her plan to run for Hillary's senate seat, and overnight, a Marist poll reflected a...
