The White House on Wednesday distributed leftist talking points for predictably insufferable supporters of President Joe Biden to use for attacking Republicans during Thanksgiving family gatherings. The list of talking points was shared by White House chief of staff Ronald Klain on social media. “One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when ‘that Uncle’ comes ‘at you’ about the president,” he wrote on Twitter.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it. "He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."...

Around 6:20 p.m., President Obama gave remarks to the press on today’s horrific shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. He said there are more American families “whose lives have been changed forever,” and another community stunned with grief. He then went on to say that he’s been to Roseburg, where there are “really good people there.” He went on to thank the first responders, and that in the coming days, we’ll learn about the victims and their dreams they had for their respective futures. A visibly angry and frustrated president declared, “our thoughts and prayers are not enough....

Americans need to know why the Energy Department approved a loan guarantee for Solyndra when the company was so clearly troubled. But politicizing this mess to smear the entire renewable energy industry won't help the country or the jobless. This industry is estimated to have doubled its number of American jobs in the past two years. Demonizing it could cripple its job-creating potential. San Jose's SunPower is the latest victim. Fox News has made a series of outrageous claims about it, calling its $1.2 billion federal loan guarantee a scandal "bigger than Solyndra." This is utterly baseless. Fox, without a...

BEIJING - China on Friday rejected growing criticism it is not wielding its influence with Sudan to stop bloodshed in the Darfur region and said attempts to use the conflict to politicize Beijing's Olympic Games will fail. As one of the U.N. Security Council's five veto-holding permanent members, China has blocked efforts to send U.N. peacekeepers to Darfur without Sudanese consent, angering those who want more done to quell four years of fighting in the vast western part of the African nation. China buys two-thirds of Sudan's oil exports and sells its government weapons and military aircraft, and those ties...

The MSM began politicizing the hurricane Katrina disaster before it even happened. Of course, their one objective is to blame President Bush, our military and anyone else that represents an idealogical barrier to their agenda. What the MSM has not done, is look in their own backyard -- in 1998 the Army Corps of Engineers provided a Draft Request to pursue the protection of noted areas in the Gulf region, to enhance their ability to survive heavy hurricane damage. The project was summarily REJECTED BY BILL CLINTON as not important. The complicit MSM is making insane charges and accusations based...

Ten of President Bush’s judicial nominees were filibustered by a Democratic minority in the U.S. Senate, during his first term. It’s likely that there will be similar efforts in his second term, probably extending to filibusters of Supreme Court nominees. This use of the filibuster has prompted much legal and historical analysis and debate, because never before in history had any judicial nominee been derailed, notwithstanding clear majority support for the nominee in the Senate. For example, Abe Fortas mustered only 45 votes when Senators attempted to end the filibuster of his nomination in 1968, and therefore President Johnson immediately...

Aside from my book (Iraq's Smoking Gun), here's DIRECT and INCONTRAVERTIBLE PROOF that the dems made a conscious decision to oppose Iraq all together and politicize the war? Well, Kerry just gave a speech to the American Legion bitching about Tora Bora and a lack of post war plan in Iraq. Problem is, I've got the ORIGINAL speech.....from May and July of 2002. Now, how does one talk about the lack of a post war plan....almost a year before the war starts and half a year before the first forces are sent to the buildup? Worse yet, why does leadership,...

The Bush/Cheney team came under heavy criticism recently for "politicizing" the September 11 terrorist attacks by using Ground Zero images in a campaign advertisement. The anti-Bush crowd cried loud and long that the use of September 11 for political gain is unconscionable. How, exactly, is that an inappropriate action? There is no bigger issue than national security in this "new era" as we all like to call it. September 11 and the War on Terror that followed are the ultimate leadership issues and ought to be central in the battle for the White House. But, if John Kerry and the...

There is growing evidence that the devastating series of terrorist attacks bedeviling U.S. troops in Iraq may have been planned by Saddam Hussein and his lieutenants as part of a well-coordinated guerilla war strategy that was hatched well before the U.S. invasion of Iraq last March, U.S. intelligence sources tell Newsweek. THE OFFICIAL BUSH administration position is that the attacks on coalition forces inside Iraq are the work of isolated gangs of Saddam loyalists and Baathist die-hards who, in some instances, have teamed up with an assortment of “foreign fighters,” Islamic radicals and even common criminals for individual strikes on...

Over the last couple of months, Democrats, particularly the ten liberals running for the party's nomination for 2004, have lambasted President Bush over every single thing that pops up on their Leftist radar. One topic for which the President has received a good portion of the political heat has been the his handling of the war in Iraq and its aftermath. Democrats claim that the President misled the American people, that there was not plan for post-war Iraq, that we are in some sort of Vietnam-style quagmire, that our troops are demoralized, and a whole host of other media-hyped accusations....
