Deutsch's Fear: Failed Obamacare Will Set Big Government Back 'For A G

After my animated description of President Obama's strangely listless conference call of yesterday, my wonderful wife encouraged me to be kind.   So let me say something sympathetic about Donny Deutsch. Sure, he's a member of the Manhattan/Hamptons liberal axis.  But I sense he's more of a old-fashioned Dem, someone, for example, who embraces American exceptionalism.  So when on today's…

WashPost Plays Up Gettysburg Address Anniversary, But Completely Skips

On the front of Tuesday's Style section of The Washington Post is an article titled "Hallowed ground, restored to its roots." The Post assigned gardening writer Adrian Higgins, who wrote of an "elaborate celebration of the 150th anniversary of the president's original remarks" at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in 1863. But nowhere in the 25-paragraph story about clearing the landscape is there any…

Gloria Borger's New Spin on Healthcare.gov: Obama Just Doesn't Like Ba

Now that even the most partisan Democrats have been forced to admit that the Healthcare.gov website has been a disaster, media lefties are scrambling to answer the question of how it happened—while simultaneously trying to draw as few implications about the leadership of President Obama. As she so often does, CNN analyst Gloria Borger has provided a preview into what the conventional left-…

Asian Comedienne Margaret Cho: I Play Race and Gender Cards to Get Out

In a recent interview, the gay newspaper The Washington Blade told bisexual comedienne and “Drop Dead Diva” star Margaret Cho that “It’s quite shocking sometimes how much you manage to get away with,” compared with someone like Don Imus getting canned from MSNBC. They asked Cho “do you ever fear you’ll go too far and really piss off the world or have people turn on you?” Cho said she had a “…

Pop The Paxil! Super-Subdued Obama Speaks To Supporters

Tonight's Organizing For Action conference call with President Obama was billed as "exclusive," and indeed it was . . . in the sense that anyone in the world who signed up for it could listen in. I was one of the lucky few hundred thousand, and was dumbstruck by how depressed President Obama sounded.  Looks like SNL was onto something. Listen to the brief, edited audio clip from the…

The 97 Percent Figure on Global Warming the Media Won't Tell You About

There’s a magic number the news media likes to cite whenever the United Nations releases a new report on Global Warming. The public is constantly told that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that human activity is responsible for dangerous levels of global warming. Therefore, the U.S., and other western nations, must dramatically reshape public policy with an eye toward reducing fossil…

CBS's Norah O'Donnell Badgers Scott Walker on 2016 Election, Immigrati

Norah O'Donnell and Charlie Rose unsurprisingly conducted a hostile interview of Scott Walker on Monday's CBS This Morning. The two anchors, who have a long record of hammering Republican/conservative guests, badgered the Wisconsin governor on ObamaCare, the 2016 presidential race, and over the immigration issue. O'Donnell, in particular, went after Walker, asking, "You have said that the…

Female Students at Liberal American University Pan Racy ObamaCare Ad

American University in Washington, D.C., is hardly a bastion of conservatism or of partisan opposition to President Obama. But even there, MRCTV's Dan Joseph found, most female students were offended by the now infamous Colorado ad depicting a young woman expressing her wish that her hunky date is as easy as procuring birth control was thanks to ObamaCare. Watch the video in the embed below:

Feds' Three Tentacles in the Common Core (Part

Last week, I explained what the Common Core State Standards are and how, despite the federal government's saying it's staying out of the classroom standards business, there is much evidence to show that the feds are intricately linked to them. The first way I demonstrated that was by pointing out that the feds have spent $350 million of taxpayer money, funding and giving grants and waivers to…

Yet Again, WashPost Omits Illegal Immigrant Status of Vanessa Pham's M

On Friday, convicted murderer and illegal immigrant Julio Blanco Garcia was sentenced to 49 years' imprisonment for the June 2010 murder of northern Virginia resident Vanessa Pham. True to form, in covering the story, the Washington Post's Rachel Weiner and Justin Jouvenal completely omitted the fact that Blanco Garcia was an illegal immigrant. But in addition to omitting Blanco Garcia's…

'Very, Very Angry' Piers Morgan Rips Obama's Lies; Calls ObamaCare Rol

Piers Morgan once said "a lot of things are just perfect about Barack Obama," but now the President is in the liberal CNN host's doghouse. According to Morgan's repeated comments on his Friday night show, the President's credibility had been completely shredded. "I find it very difficult, this ObamaCare thing. When I see the repeated footage of him standing there saying, you can keep your…

Chris Matthews Slimes Dick Cheney as a Racist for Calling Obama a 'Lia

 A scandalized Chris Matthews on Friday railed against Dick Cheney for having the audacity to call out Barack Obama's "lie" on Americans being able to keep their health insurance. Naturally, the Hardball anchor insinuated that the reason behind this was racism. An angry Matthews fumed, "Dick Cheney comes right out and calls [Obama] a liar. When a right-wing back-bencher did that four years ago…
