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 […]

Worst. Headline. Evah.

Some things make you want to gouge your eyes out: Murkowski now has apparently insurmountable lead of 10,000+ votes When I saw that at Hot Air Headlines, I knew that it was time to confront this ugly reality head-on.  That dreadful excuse for a human being has been re-elected, and we must ask ourselves, “Why?” […]

Official statement: “The Paul for Senate campaign is extremely disappointed in, and condemns the actions of a supporter last night outside the KET debate.

Man in Kentucky Head-Stomping Incident Identified as Paul Supporter Mike Pezzano UPDATE: MoveOn.org Activist Was Charged in Greenpeace Vandalism UPDATE: Rand Paul Describes ‘Crowd Control Problem’ at Event (Video)

My Kentucky conservative friend Lisa Graas reports she got an e-mail from a Tea Party activist identifying the man, and offers photographic proof. Please note that Pezzano is allegedly the man in the plaid shirt who wrestled MoveOn activist Lauren Valle to the ground, not the guy who stomped her. Meanwhile, quite predictably, I find myself accused by […]

Do the Kentucky Head-Stomp!
