Sen. Tom Coburn says there’s “no shortage of potential savings,” pointing out that the department is nevertheless spending millions on …

Wait a sec, I thought President Blameless was the Commander-in-Chief??

From RedState: Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea: So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North …

About that filibuster by Rand Paul about drone strikes to kill Americans in America….

Remember all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the regressives on the political Left about waterboarding (something, by the way, that is done to certain military men as part of their training, not to mention CIA agents)? Awful, awful, awful! Torture, torture, torture! Barbarian, barbarian, barbarian (that’s enough of that)! But wait! …

Do NH Democrats Want To Pass A Law Like This One In Germany?

With few exceptions, the progressive liberal Democrats would love to have a law just like this in New Hampshire.

Not Castration, Sequestration.

Castration? You would think so to hear the rhetoric and demagoguery, but no. (Did you happen to notice ‘Dem’ at the beginning of Demagoguery?)  Uh-huh, It’s true. Give back a few pennies on the dollar and the Left insists the world could end. Sounds like lousy management to me. Well, OK But why is the Federal Government …

Another, more descriptive term for Capitalism?

Innovationism: Deirdre McCloskey says somewhere that a better name for capitalism is “innovationism” – innovationism unleashed only in societies in which private property rights are at least reasonably secure, freedom of contract is at least reasonably the norm, markets are at least reasonably free, and (importantly) the multitude of bourgeois merchants and accountants and actuaries …

WTF.gov

Your government floods the AM band with public service announcements (PSA’s).  Back in the day I used to have to read them when I did radio in High School.   We didn’t have them pre-recorded.  But now they have them canned and you can just play them with a mouse click or program them into the …
