where will we be? Big day here. Will create an "open" post somewhere around 9:30 a.m. waiting to find out if the Supreme Court Kremlinologists have been right. Or not. Then will follow up with a post detailing my take on the decision. Followed by the House vote to hold...

Via AP: A federal judge has refused to stop Florida from removing potentially non-U.S. citizens from its rolls. The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state to halt the purge, arguing it was going on too close to a federal election. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said Wednesday...

There seems to be a change in Syria, a worsening of the situation for Assad. I can't tell if this is the turning point, a turning point, or just a bump in Assad's road to staying in power with the military help of Iran, Hezbollah...

I don't think I saw this Mass GOP web ad before, but it's good. Too bad it's not shorter so it could be aired: Since today seems to be the day for Reader Polls, let me know if you think Warren will get away with her...

Jim Matheson plays a moderate on TV
on June 27, 2012
10 Comments
I guess Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson running against Mia Love in the new Utah-04 district is a moderate compared to Nancy Pelosi. His claim to moderation is that on a small number of key votes he has voted against his party, but not when his vote mattered. Matheson...

So why not Bobby Jindal for V.P.?

99 Comments
Other than the fact that George Will thinks he's a good default pick? I've always liked Jindal, but admittedly I don't follow his day-to-day actions in Louisiana that carefully. He did a good job on the BP spill, doesn't have any known personal problems, has experience as...

If this reopens old wounds, too bad. Rick Santorum's hiding act is wearing thin. Newt is out there all the time helping to pound on the Obama record. The supposedly bitter Newt is proving himself to be the class act his supporters always knew him to be....

President Teresa Sullivan against allegations by a former Rutgers law professor revealed in a Breitbart.com series by Michael Patrick Leahy, concerning a book co-authored with Elizabeth Warren.

The disappearance of a 16-year-old minor named Becky, last seen with Occupy Chicago members, is being treated by Occupy internally with secrecy and without informing police, according to a report released yesterday from EAG News: On June 19, a leader of Occupy Chicago contacted fellow travelers...
Keep pushing Fast and Furious investigation
on June 26, 2012

I have not devoted nearly enough space to the Fast and Furious scandal and cover up. It is a potential Achilles' Heel exposing the "above the law" attitude of this administration. From The Daily Caller: A single internal Department of Justice email could be the smoking-gun document...

After Elizabeth Warren snubbed and insulted a small group of Cherokee women who traveled to Boston last week to see her, the Cherokees are undaunted. The group formed in late May, Cherokees Demand Truth From Elizabeth Warren, has just launched a fundraiser: We are now starting an...
