22 May 2013 6:50 am

On the one hand, Wenzel Strategies isn’t exactly a household name in the pollster world. On the other hand, these are some mighty high numbers at this point in the game when none of the big Obama scandals seem to have gone nuclear yet.

“It may be early in the process for members of Congress to start planning for impeachment of Barack Obama, but the American public is building a serious appetite for it,” said Fritz Wenzel, of Wenzel Strategies, which did the telephone poll Thursday. It has a margin of …

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Nominee: Black Americans Should Give Up Their “Slavish Devotion” To The Democrat Party
21 May 2013 6:29 am

There’s nothing a liberal hates more than a black man who stands up and tells the world that minorities don’t need the Democrat Party to succeed. That’s why Pastor E.W. Jackson, who was chosen as the GOP’s Lieutenant Governor Nominee, better get ready for a tsunami of hatred. When a black man tells the truth about the Democrats, they feel compelled to try to destroy him before he sets a good example.

An outspoken and provocative conservative who emerged from Saturday’s Republican Party of Virginia Convention as the party’s nominee for …

Beretta: It Looks Like We’ll Have To Leave Maryland Over New Gun Control Laws
21 May 2013 5:11 am

Maryland’s new Draconian gun laws may make liberals happy, but it may also cost them a lot of jobs and tax revenue if and when Beretta leaves the state. Granted, the company hasn’t beaten the dust of Maryland off its feet yet, but judging by this post on Beretta’s blog, it’s awfully close to hitting the road.

Through the Companies’ legislative efforts and with assistance led by Delegate Joe Vallario and others provisions were stripped out of the final Bill that would have required an immediate move of certain operations out …

Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: Republicans Caused The Oklahoma Tornado By Not Believing in Global Warming
21 May 2013 4:08 am

One of the great ironies of the global warming debate is that the people who are skeptical of the phenomenon are the ones who make the science-based arguments, while the true believers who incessantly rant about “scientific consensus” all too often sound like this.

Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.
Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake …

Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz: Obama May Be Impeached Over Benghazi
21 May 2013 12:01 am

The “I-word” isn’t just being tossed around in Internet forums these days. Now, it’s actually heard in the halls of Congress. Republican Jason Chaffetz is saying that Obama may be impeached.

Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, says President Barack Obama may face impeachment over his administration’s response to the Benghazi attack.
“They purposefully and willfully misled the American people, and that’s unacceptable,” Chaffetz tells me. “It’s part of a pattern of deception.”
Behind the scenes, he says, House Republicans are frustrated by the White House’s evasiveness, and the calls for impeachment will …

Senate Democrat Claire McCaskill: Fire Everyone Involved in Obama’s IRS Scandal
20 May 2013 8:49 am

Let’s be honest: There’s not a single Democrat in Congress who cares if the Obama Administration uses the IRS to target its political enemies. We’re the bad guys to them and they’re willing to do anything they can get away with to stick it to us.

That’s why NOBODY at the IRS had been punished for this scandal before it went public and blew up like a nuclear bomb.
However, the situation has now changed because the scandal is getting traction with the public. That means this could hurt the Democrat Party. …

California BANS All New Semi-Automatic Handguns
20 May 2013 8:09 am

If you’re a liberal who wants to ban guns without officially putting a ban in place, how do you do it?

Simple.
You don’t make guns illegal, you just put restrictions in place that make it impossible for anyone to purchase a handgun. That’s exactly what the liberals have now done in California.
Any new model handgun must have a microstamped serial number somewhere on the gun’s frame and a firing pin that stamps a unique number onto the cartridge before (or as) it ignites the primer. I immediately reached out to …

20 May 2013 7:38 am

The first mistake the burglars made was picking a lousy profession. Their second mistake was choosing to rob people in Texas of all places. Their third mistake was locking a homeowner in the WRONG CLOSET.

The victim of an armed home invasion in Houston has turned the tables on the brazen intruders after they stuffed him into a closet that turned out to be the place where he stores his gun.
Police say it all started at around 2pm Tuesday when three men broke into a home in the 8200 block of …

20 May 2013 7:01 am

Have you heard about the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare that has been filed in Texas?

A Texas doctor sued the U.S. over President Barack Obama’s health-care reforms on claims the U.S. Supreme Court overlooked when it upheld the Affordable Care Act last year.
Steven Hotze of Houston claims the law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, violates the U.S. Constitution’s origination and takings clauses, which weren’t part of arguments before the Supreme Court. The high court upheld the act by a 5-to-4 vote.

16 May 2013 4:55 am

This story is so horrific that your first reaction may be that this isn’t possible in the United States. In fact, it sounds like just the sort of thing that would happen in a primitive dung heap like Pakistan as opposed to California. Yet and still….

A mother who was forced to pay spousal support to the ex-husband who was convicted of raping her daughter is speaking out to CBS2.
“Every time I wrote that check, I cried because I felt like I was paying the man that raped my daughter,” Carol …

Blockbuster:The Obama Administration TAPED PHONE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS & AP REPORTERS
16 May 2013 3:42 am

I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t gotten as excited about the Associated Press phone taps as some other people have. That’s because when Bush was in office, I thought that his administration wasn’t nearly as aggressive as it should have been in investigating leaks of classified information. So, if Obama was going after people who leaked classified info to the AP and got a judge to approve it, then I didn’t have a big problem with that.

However, this new information changes that equation and makes this …

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells Newsmax TV that the current scandal facing the Internal Revenue Service proves that the agency cannot be trusted to implement Obamacare.

15 May 2013 5:04 am

Billy Graham is a good and decent man. He’s also one of the most beloved Christians in the United States. Unfortunately, he’s also an opponent of the Obama Administration,which may have made him a target for the IRS.

Franklin Graham, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the family’s international humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse, said that the IRS notified the organizations in September that it was conducting a “review” of their activities for tax year 2010.
With the IRS admitting it gave extra scrutiny to conservative political organizations, Graham says …

15 May 2013 4:31 am

The Republican National Convention isn’t pulling any punches on the Associated Press scandal. The RNC Chairman, Reince Priebus, is calling on Eric Holder to resign.
