Obama spikes the Stuxnet

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 01, 2012 33 Comments

Have you noticed? The NY Times seems to be getting an awful lot of inside information lately on how tough Obama has been in the war on terror and Iran. First it was the expansive story about drone warfare, and now about Stuxnet: From his first months...

The rate rose to 8.2%, but the real story via IBD, Core 25-54 Employment Rates Still Near Historic Lows: The unemployment rate rose slightly to 8.2% in May, holding above 8% for the 40th straight month, the Labor Department reported Friday. But actual employment rates of...

Elizabeth Warren needs an intervention

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 01, 2012 54 Comments

I get the feeling that Elizabeth Warren is heading for an Edmund Muskie moment completely of her own making, unless those close to her step in soon. I don't expect Warren to take advice from her political opponents, but she just can't seem to take good advice even from...

Will someone tell Restore Our Future PAC to stop the anti-Santorum ads

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 13 Comments

I have tweeted about this before, but tonight there were at least two anti-Santorum ads run on Fox News by Restore our Future, the pro-Romney PAC. It's the Big Spender ad which now has been taken down from YouTube, but still plays on national television: Will you...

Providence update – big union concessions prevent bankruptcy

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 7 Comments

I've written numerous times over the past two years about the horrible fiscal mess David Cicilline (D-RI01) left behind in Providence when he was Mayor, and how he concealed the problem from voters during his 2010 congressional race. The city has been teetering on the verge...

Big corporations are not your friend (Wal-Mart caves to Color of Change on ALEC edition)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 36 Comments

Because large corporations are under continual attack from the left, there is a tendency for the right to think of big corporations as ideological compatriots. They are not, at least not if they are public. By and large they are large entities run by politically weak...

Anger at Elizabeth Warren spreads to non-Cherokee American Indians

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 21 Comments

The objections of Cherokees to Elizabeth Warren's false claims of Cherokee ancestry have made the news for weeks, first when genealogist Twila Barnes demanded that Warren tell the truth, and just yesterday with the formation of a new group of Cherokees demanding that Warren stop...

It’s Elizabeth Warren’s and Harvard’s federal filings, stupid

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 50 Comments

Elizabeth Warren has played hard to get on the issue of her supposed Cherokee ancestry. Warren only admits to information after someone has the documents to prove her story wrong, and then her story changes. She originally denied having any idea why Harvard touted her as...

Bring it home, Wisconsin

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 19 Comments

Remember that next Tuesday is the recall election in Wisconsin. A good Marquette poll yesterday deflated hopes on the left that the recall race was tightening. But Walker is not taking any chances, releasing this ad against Barrett: More devastating news for the recall effort is that public...

Gov. Deval Patrick runs interference for Elizabeth Warren on false Cherokee claim

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 30, 2012 41 Comments
