New information reveals that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was indirectly sending messages to the FARC. The Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is designated as a terrorist [...]
Not that anyone should be shocked, but definitely frustrated, but today’s Washington Post provides some insight to the plans of Congress with regard to converting more and more land over to federal protection control. You know what’s scary? If this had been the approach Congress took when Thomas Jefferson was president, we’d still be all [...]

Eager to put appropriate cover on their actions so that they don’t jeopardize their reelections, House Democrats are proposing breaking up the Wire-tapping Bill into two pieces: one to provide the authorization to execute the program, and the other to provide protections for communications companies against lawsuits.
From what I’m hearing, it sounds like both bills [...]
Hat Tip to BitHead for this, who aptly asks “Anyone want proof there’s a God?” while referencing this article by Roger L. Simon at PajamasMedia on the potential demise of Ron Paul’s seat in Congress. Evidently, Chris Pedena, newcomer to national politics (a city councilman and CPA) is running against Ron in the March 4th [...]

That economic stimulus package (mentioned here just a couple of hours ago) got turned around quick in the House! Looks like we’ll be seeing some cash. I just want to know when they want it back.
Daniel Gross at Newsweek doesn’t think it will work. He’s got some great background referenced, including American Century Investment survey [...]

The US Senate passed a stimulus package a short while ago. From the Wall Street Journal:
The Senate passed an economic rescue plan that would speed $600 to $1,200 in rebates to most taxpayers and $300 checks to low-income people, including disabled veterans and the elderly. The 81-16 vote capped more than a week of political [...]

I’ve read and heard a number of conservatives (and I myself have struggled with this) who appear to be giving up on this year’s elections already. I’m disappointed. Ann Coulter certainly exuded an extreme version of the conservative angst (although she’s definitely on the wrong track by suggesting Hillary is a viable alternative [...]

I am amazed that the Republican Party in Iowa is intent on rolling over so easily this year. In a story in today’s Des Moines Register, we find out that party leaders and potential candidates have essentially decided it’s not worth the effort to put up a race against Leonard Boswell (Democrat-Iowa 3rd District [...]
