Fox News presenter Bill O'Reilly has claimed that he has more power than anyone but Barack Obama. The news anchor made the extraordinary declaration while promoting his new book about the Lincoln assasination. He told Newsweek interviewer Peter Boyer: 'I have more power than anybody other than the president, in the sense that I can get things changed, quickly.'

I just caught a little bit of Dr. Keith Ablow on the Bill O'Reilly show. Unfortunately, I had turned the tv on at 8:36 pm and the Ablow segment was already in progress. He was talking about transgenderism. So if you would like to hear the Dr. Keith Ablow version versus the Megyn Kelly version please tune in to the late version of the O'Reilly show which begins at 11 pm EST. Watch the show from the begining so that you do not miss anything.

Rupert Murdoch is working hard to contain the fallout from the hacking scandal that has engulfed his U.K. newspapers. His nightmare scenario right now would be the coming to light of anything to suggest that the bad behavior that was so (allegedly) commonplace at the News of the World also happened with any frequency in the U.S. That means not just interception of voicemails but also use of shady private investigators and improper relationships with, or payments to, law enforcement officials. How unfortunate for Bill O’Reilly, then, that new accusations against him involve exactly those things. According to Gawker, the...

Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly used his police contacts to have his former wife's new boyfriend investigated by officers, it has been reported. After the couple allegedly separated and his wife of 15 years started seeing a Long Island police officer, Mr O'Reilly is said to have pulled strings to have the man officially investigated and warned to back off. Sources claim officers were instructed to collaborate with private investigators to dig dirt on Mareen McPhilmy O'Reilly's new boyfriend in the hope of Mr O'Reilly donating money to the police department in return for the favour.

When Kinky Friedman mounted his unlikely Texas gubernatorial campaign against Rick Perry in 2006, he articulated a “dewussification” of Texas platform. Friedman has apparently since realized that what he has in Texas is much better than what the rest of the country has. On Monday’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Friedman explained why Perry is his candidate for president and Obama isn’t.

There are very few things the left is really good at, but one of them is propaganda, its bread and butter, the biggest arrow in its quiver. While extolling "the working class", the socialist movement has always been an almost exclusive preserve of radical intellectuals. These people, whose primary habitat is the ivory towers of academia, are far removed from reality. They spend their lives talking non-stop, engaging in verbal games and coming up with slogans and catch-words and phrases, sometimes quite ingenious. You have to admit that the NYT's headline "General Betray Us" mocking Gen. Petraeus, while sickeningly impudent,...

Let me restate that: There is no confidence in American leadership on the economy. Here are some of the reasons: Last December, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform issued its report calling for deep spending cuts and entitlement reform. President Obama thanked the commission, headed by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, and then ignored most of their recommendations. A few months later, Mr. Obama proposed his budget for 2012. It was defeated in the Senate 97 to nothing. So let's review. The president sets up a financial commission and then ignores it. The president puts forth his budget...

If you want less spending in the future, you will vote for Republicans next time around. If you want to continue with the big government philosophy, you'll vote Democrat. If the GOP wins the presidency, the Senate and holds the House, then we can expect a radical transformation in Washington. That is, massive spending cuts and hopefully a new tax code, which would raise far more revenue than the class warfare system we have right now. The truth is we need more revenue in America, and the far right should understand that. A New York Times editorial on Monday says:...

Bill O'Reilly thinks the only thing that can save the Obama presidency is the extremism of the Tea Party followers in Congress. And he's right. Maureen Dowd compares Obama to Jimmy Carter today in her Sunday New York Times column, clearly overwhelmed by the job, bowing to Republican demands at every turn, out of his depth. And she's right. Both leading Irish American columnists essentially agree that the only thing that can save this ineffectual president is the extremism on the right . The two leading Irish American voices (pictured together at an Irish Central/Irish Voice event above) rarely agree...

Yesterday during testimony on Capitol Hill, we heard Former ATF Special Agent in Charge William Newell admit he was in contact with White House National Security staffer Kevin O'Reilly about Operation Fast and Furious as early as September 2010. Newell also admitted that the DHS, IRS, DEA, ATF, ICE and the Obama Justice Department were all heavily involved and were full partners in coming up with the concept and execution of Operation Fast and Furious. Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama still deny authorizing the lethal program, despite President Obama specifically asking Holder to conduct a complete review

Recently, Poop-ulist Bill O'Reilly had this to say on the O'Reilly Factor: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "From the beginning I have supported the Tea Party because I believe it empowers individual Americans, which is always a good thing. Also, the Tea Party wants fiscal responsibility and a smaller federal government. Again, those are good things as well. But now the Tea Party has come to a crossroads. Some of its members simply do not want to raise the debt ceiling, and that could be catastrophic. Thursday, Standard and Poor's met with Republicans in the House to tell them there is a 50/50 chance...

"There is not a shred of evidence whatsoever that the U.S. side of News Corporation has been involved in any of these scandals."

Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News host who White House press secretary Jay Carney has singled out as a conservative voice of reason, offered Thursday to go to D.C. and referee the debt talks. “So now I am offering to broker the debt compromise. I’ll go down there. I’m ready to answer the call. Because I’m looking out for you. Not some crazed ideology or political party,” O’Reilly said. Earlier in the segment, O’Reilly bashed the president and congressional Democrats’ “spending madness” as well as Michele Bachmann and other tea party-affiliated Republicans, whose current stance is against raising the U.S. debt...

BillO channeled his inner Chris Matthews tonight when he accused the Tea Party of putting ideology in front of doing what’s right for the economy, which is according to him, raising the debt ceiling. And he’s specifically talking about Bachmann: "Earlier this week we interviewed Congresswoman Michele Bachmann who said she will not vote to raise the debt ceiling no matter what. Talking Points respectfully disagrees with Ms. Bachmann because if a debt deal is not reach Americans will suffer greatly. I know some of you don’t believe that, but here’s even more evidence." "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned...

Do you believe the economy will be harmed if a debt deal is not reached? Yes No

Once again, USA House of Representatives and GOP USA Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, (R/MN), had to do a “teaching moment” to Fox News Bill O’Reilly of the “O’Reilly Factor” on the NEED for United States federal government “to go on a diet” just as private business has been doing for the last few years, often in the unfortunate result of laying people off. Rep. Bachmann was very blunt also in her words, that there is a “time for tough love” in regards to the federal debt. Although Mr. O’Reilly warned Rep. Bachmann that she could very well be regarded as...

Presidential nominee Bachmann does not fall in to the GOP /media politically correct must do's; as Obama, and sometimes wishy washy Boehner and Geithner say raising the debt ceiling must happen or the world will crumble. Bachmann risks the unpopular trend and sticks to her guns;getting badgered by OReilly for going against Boehner and the GOP. Go Bachmann! WATCH THE VIDEO

Bill O’Reilly keeps addresses to his media enemies at a bare minimum, but tonight he devoted an entire segment to declaring war on left-wing media criticism site Media Matters for America and their current tax-exempt status. Along with Washington Times reporter C. Boyden Gray, O’Reilly highlighted the fact that MMFA had not paid taxes since well into the George W. Bush administration and it would take an independent formal complaint to remove their status. O’Reilly, who defined Media Matters as an organization dedicated to war on Fox News, asked Gray to explain

So I turned on the Blow O'Reilly Fracture as I wanted to see what Herman Cain had to say. His first segment he had on Tantaros (what a beautiful woman) and some Dem hag and O'Reilly was talking to them and how saddened he was that Weiner was being destroyed. BooHoo Blow but if you ask your guests questions, let them finish their answers before you interject with your big mouth. He had a moment in which he told the dem hag to learn from him. What an egotistic SOB. Then, he had Cain on and did the same thing...

Bill O’Reilly Is Worried For Andrew Breitbart: ‘Do You Fear For Your Life?’ videoby Frances Martel | 9:15 pm, June 7th, 2011 22 comments After a completely bizarre beginning of the week, Andrew Breitbart is reaping the praise he sowed after putting his career on the line over the lurid truth of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s online sex life. Breitbart spared no scorn for the media that tried to sink him, and revealed their coordination to blame the matter on him. The depth of the intrigue prompted Bill O’Reilly’s sincere concern, and asked O’Reilly what he was doing to protect himself...
