Jeb Bush’s imploding presidential candidacy sparked an explosive debate among Fox News hosts on “The Five” this week. Tempers began to flare after Meghan McCain, the daughter of Arizona senator and former presidential candidate John McCain, argued that while Bush is flawed candidate much of the blame for his sagging poll numbers could be attributed to him having “bad people around him.” Being the “only person that has been on a campaign that imploded and came back from the dead” she believes Bush can make a comeback. “He needs to clean house with his staff,” she said before her co-host...

The United States is gradually, but unrelentingly, destroying part of itself. The facts to support this are well-documented, told in many ways from past to present. The most egregious example of Americide is our country's treatment of African-Americans. Almost everyone agrees about the evils of slavery, once dismissed simply as a Peculiar Institution. But a debate goes on about reparations, with passionate arguments on both sides, ranging from a demand for a Reparations Superfund for jobs and education, to a claim that blacks actually benefited from slavery because of the years of 'reparations' received through poverty programs. Reparations opponents insist...

That's what Liz Cheney and Newt are saying... At long-last, brought down by the sheer weight of their ceaseless bungling and obliquity: Team Obama -shifting gears frantically in desperation- has now taken down almost all of the negative advertising (that their whole campaign was based upon) in the wake of the second debate, replacing it with a 'positive' message focusing on the president's 'achievements' (lol)- what to make of this?  That the American people have made up their own minds re. the Republican nominee, so relentless personal attacks on the 'evil rich guy' simply aren't working anymore- moreover, Captain Combover knows...

With growing fears about the stability of the financial system, today King World News interviewed legendary Jim Sinclair. When asked about the ongoing crisis, Sinclair stated, “Well, the story this morning is we have it but we’re not going to spend it. We are not going to buy our own bonds, we’re not going to cap the rates, but we have it and we might use it. It’s like that every day. Those guys can’t get their story together for more than fifteen minutes. The ECB has the availability of funds for some activities in the euro bond market. They...

If there was ever a "Let them eat cake" administration, this one's it. I like the hilariously cynical "Newsflash" part of this ABC News title. It brings out the massively disconnected look of contempt for the "forgotten man" in Obama's eyes. "Wave at all the little nobodies, daughters, wave at all the little nobodies. Emperor worship is all they have left to live for."Breaking News: President Obama Says “I’m Having a Great Time” On Vacation August 25, 2010 12:42 PM Last night President Obama and First Lady Obama dined at State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard. Their...

SACRAMENTO – Despite initial promises of saving billions by overhauling state government, it now appears likely that only a fraction of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to "blow up the boxes" of California bureaucracy will see the light of day. Key Schwarzenegger advisers are said to be divided over whether to push politically unpopular proposals, such as eliminating regulators of the state's air quality. Members of the team that crafted the California Performance Review have come forward, saying many proposals were conceived by staff who knew little about what they worked on. And as a Schwarzenegger-appointed commission to take public comment...

The Beginning of the End of the Democratic Party June 25th, 2004 Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe believes that President George W. Bush sent American troops into battle in Afghanistan at the behest of the Unocal Oil Corporation, so that it would be able to build a pipeline there to carry oil from Caspian Sea wells drilled by Dick Cheney's Halliburton. Michael Moore told him so, in his new movie, Farenheit 9/11. We learn about McAuliffe's epiphany in Byron York’s June 24 article on National Review Online. McAuliffe tells York, “I believe it after seeing that.” Oh? If Moore...
