This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on Friday holding that Michigan Proposal 2, which banned the use of racial and other preferences in a variety of contexts,...
I suggested yesterday that readers take the statements by the lawyer for the alleged victim about injuries to the alleged victim, etc., with a grain of salt. I had confidence that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office would not be proceeding as it is unless the DA's...
I still can't put aside Obama's press conference earlier this week. Obama was seething with mockery and disdain for almost everyone other than himself, with Republicans in Congress a focus. To say that the press conference was not presidential is an understatement. Mark Halperin was right,...
There is a really interesting article by Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics regarding congressional redistricting. The common mainstream wisdom has been that redistricting really is not helping Republians that much, and that Democrats even may gain a seat or two nationwide. But Trend details how...
Obama is planning on 5 1/2 more years in office, so he can complete what he has not yet finished. At a campaign fundraiser on June 30, Obama made these comments, as reported byReal Clear Politics (emphasis mine): "And, Philadelphia, I know there are some of you...
This ad by Crossroads GPS, for which Karl Rove consults, has been running very heavily in upstate NY. It's critically important that these type of ads run early before Obama starts spreading his hoped-for billion dollars around, the unions spend their hundreds of millions, and Hollywood/Wall...
Dominick Strauss-Kahn was released today on his own personal recognizance, as detailed in The NY Times: In a letter sent to Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers and filed with Justice Michael J. Obus on Friday, prosecutors outlined some of what they had discovered about Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s accuser, poking...
In his rather "prickly" press conference on Wednesday, President Obama made it sound as if tax increases (or, to use the Democrats' language, "cutting spending in the tax code") were part of a last resort at trimming the deficit as the federal government reaches its...
I have referred to Obama's $5 dinner promotion as a "raffle." I am not alone, as virtually every major news organization has used the same terminology. Under any common understanding, it is a raffle, you pay money for a chance to win. Payment of money is...
The Barack Obama we saw at the press conference earlier this week, the one who inspired the controversial comment by Mark Halperin, is the real Barack Obama. The Barack Obama of 2008 was a charade. It only serves our interest to draw out the real Barack Obama,...
Wow, something really, truly desperate was going on at Team Obama. I've pointed out the cheesy $5 dinner raffle and closing days begging for $5 donations ...

If you noticed, when Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested for the alleged sexual assault on a maid at a hotel in New York, I didn't join in, almost alone in the blogosphere. Something didn't seem right. The story was too neat, and too couched in political correctness....
