That didn’t take long. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has already released a statement, on his website, condemning the newly proposed House GOP replacement bill for Obamacare. “This is not the Obamacare repeal bill we’ve been waiting for. It is a missed opportunity and a step in the wrong direction,” Sen. Lee said. “We promised the American people we would drain the swamp and end business as usual in Washington. This bill does not do that. We don’t know how many people would use this new tax credit, we don’t know how much it will cost, and we don’t know if...

When Paul Ryan and his congressional clown car of alleged conservatives surprised us by just sort of dropping Obamacare Jr. on us, I wasn’t surprised to see them trip all over their Guccis during the utterly inept roll out. These nimrods couldn’t effectively communicate to Elizabeth Warren with smoke signals. But even I was shocked at how transcendently crappy their proposed Obamacare replacement is. Let me put it this way: the only thing that steaming pile of failure would be good for is as the key prop in a very specialized, niche German porno film. Seriously, how many times do...

I am hearing a lot of misinformation about the healthcare roll out. I think the left would love to get conservatives fighting among themselves. For that reason I think we should all listen to why Ryan is proceeding the way he is and decide if it makes sense. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGiVoU2KnqU

By now, you may have heard the story about how two TSA agents at Denver International Airport were fired recently after it was revealed that they had worked out a scam by which one agent was able to grope and fondle the genitals of male passengers he found attractive. The plan involved him signalling to a colleague who was working the scanning computer. That agent would tell the computer that the individual being scanned was female, which apparently would set off an "anomaly" alert for the groin area, allowing the male TSA agent to conduct a "pat down" of that...

Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray, who had privately expressed opposition to Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s plea for a temporary appointment to any US Senate vacancy, is now open to the idea, according to a colleague, who said she has given him the green light to round up the necessary votes.

It has been 11 years since the horrific bombing and mass murder at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. We have still not learned the truth. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) has announced that he will be holding hearings to learn the truth and examine a foreign connection. Jayna Davis, the one reporter in this nation who has never given up on pursuing the truth about the Iraqi connection, returned my phone call today. She is really steamed. According to Jayna, what Rohrabacher is doing is phony. The reason she knows it is phony is that Rohrabacher has not called one...

Officers Claim Brass Interfered in Investigation of Rep. Kennedy Incident Thursday, May 4; 4:16 pm By John McArdle, Roll Call Staff Police labor union officials asked acting Chief Christopher McGaffin this afternoon to allow a Capitol Police officer to complete his investigation into an early-morning car crash involving Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.).According to a letter sent by Officer Greg Baird, acting chairman of the USCP FOP, the wreck took place at approximately 2:45 a.m. Thursday when Kennedy’s car, operating with its running lights turned off, narrowly missed colliding with a Capitol Police cruiser and smashed into a security barricade...

Blaming the Jews - Again Bruce S. Ticker 02 January 2003 I still remember two striking elements of the Yom Kippur War. The Arabs invaded Israel on the most solemn day of the year observed by Jews. The outcome looked dismal and the silence from the United Nations was deafening. The tables turned within three weeks, as Ariel Sharon’s forces almost had Cairo surrounded. Then the United Nations intervened to end the conflict. The contradictions and hypocrisy persist to this day - literally. The Arabs don’t care about disrupting Jewish observances, and so often the world places the onus...
