More Lame-Duck Madness

You know how all those pollsters and pundits were so eager to tell us that the mid-term election — in which Republicans gained more House seats than in any election since 1938 — were not a “mandate” for the GOP agenda? Yeah, well, how the hell was this election a mandate for repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” pushing […]

Emergency! Democrats Trying to Shove DREAM Amnesty Through Lame-Duck

Forget the TSA gropers at the airport. Forget Dancing With the Stars. Forget everything and focus on this: During his re-election campaign in Nevada, [Harry] Reid said he would try again to pass the legislation, known as the Dream Act. And in a Twitter message on Wednesday evening, his office said he would try to […]

Stupidest. Democrat. EVAH!

Rarely have I ever disagreed with Ann Coulter, but her pronouncement that Patty Murray is “the stupidest person in America” was simply wrong. Of course, the stupidest person in America is a Democrat but, contra Coulter, it’s not the buffoonish senator from Washington state.

Every Year in Texas . . .

. . .  the state’s estimated 1.5 million illegal aliens become parents of 60,000 new babies who are automatically U.S. citizens. When Republicans suggest this is a problem, they’re denounced as harboring “a desire to eviscerate the Constitution.” Not only are our borders broken, but our political discourse isn’t exactly functioning smoothly, either. UPDATE: “Scaring white people?”

Arizona Fed Judge’s Critics ‘Expressed Their Displeasure in a Perverted Way’

The people aren’t happy with Judge Susan Bolton: Authorities say a federal judge in Phoenix has been getting some threats since her ruling on Arizona’s controversial immigration law. David Gonzales, the U.S. Marshal for Arizona, says U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has received thousands of phone calls and e-mails since her preliminary injunction Wednesday that […]

Predictably, Judge Blocks Common-Sense Law Favored by 70% of Arizona Voters

Did anyone expect otherwise? A federal judge has blocked one of the most controversial sections of a tough Arizona immigration law, granting a preliminary injunction Wednesday that prevents police from questioning people about their immigration status.
