The IRS plants a question

You almost can't believe what the IRS did to try to defect the storm they knew was coming from their abuse of conservative nonprofit groups. Here's a story that lays it out. Rather than tell Congress about the upcoming damning report, the IRS had a...

Just answer the question, Mr. President

When even his supporters begin to wonder how far up into the White House the multiple scandals of Libertygate may go, the president doesn't do himself any favors when he gets too cute by half in dodging questions from the press. He was asked...

What if Glenn Beck was right?

There's a funny bumper sticker out there now that reads: "What if Glenn Beck was right?" For those of you who don't know, Beck is a conservative talk show host and author with a lot of conspiracy theories about President Obama. He gets derided by...

Call it what it is: Libertygate

Wow. Just wow. This morning the report on just what the IRS did to abuse politically conservative groups is nothing short of stunning. While sending liberal non-profit groups sailing through the process, conservative groups were asked for Facebook...

Obama does a Sgt. Schultz: 'I know nothing!'

The Washington Post's Dana Milbank put his finger right on the problem with President Obama's recent claims of ignorance about the multiple storms gathering over the White House. "President Passerby," Milbank writes, "needs urgently to become a...

Some more equal than others

If you fancy the American ideal of equal protection under the law, then it's best you don't take too close a look at the Obama Administration. President Obama has vigorously gone after oil and power companies for inadvertently killing Eagles. But...

Obama scandal alert: Hello Benghazi, meet the IRS

Watching MSNBC this morning, the cable network that prides itself on being the voice of the American far left, you could smell the despair. You could almost hear the MSNBC producers lament: "Dammit, we're still talking about Benghazi this week and...

Silver State girls are easy

Preening legislators aren’t unique. Every state has ’em. You send a fairly normal citizen with a little sense to the Legislature, and inside of two months something happens.

Obama betrayed us in Benghazi

If there is one thing we can say with certainty after the death of our ambassador to Libya and three Americans in Benghazi, it is that President Obama betrayed the country when he said he would get to the bottom of what happened and take action to...

Movie ticket tax? Are Democrats crazy?

If you're going to the movies, go now. Because if Nevada Democrats get their way, that same movie ticket will cost you 8 percent more. Are Democrats crazy? Well, if not the left hand doesn't know what the right is going. While trying to levy a tax...

Reid federal judge sale -- just a bad timeline

The questions swirling around the federal judge appointment by Sen. Harry Reid -- the one in which he took $150,000 in contributions from the candidate's law firm -- are many and substantial. Sen. Reid says it was purely coincidental and for some...

White House press corps is just awful

I dragged my Pacific Daylight Time, Las Vegas arse out of bed early Tuesday to watch President Barack Obama take questions from the national press corps. Maybe there’d be a tweet or a blog in there somewhere. Or, if I was lucky, even a Sunday newspaper column.

NYC's 'Stop-and Frisk' illegal as hell

It is amazing that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gotten away with the city's "Stop-and-Frisk" policy for as long as he has. It's a jury-rigged system for illegal searches. It works like this: Police divide up the city into high-crime...

'Abortion' — The word we cannot speak

President Barack Obama addressed Planned Parenthood recently and gave a nice speech in which he mentioned the word "cancer" seven times and other euphemistic words such as "health," "rights" and "choice" to describe the organization. But he couldn't...

ObamaCare taxman cometh

For those of you who still believe the president when he says he's never, ever going to tax the middle class, you might want to count the new taxes coming as a result of ObamaCare. Here, let me help. And to keep it simple for Obamatrons, we'll break...

ObamaCare: A third-world experience

This morning at 8:15 Las Vegas time -- and I promise you I am not making this up -- President Obama at a press conference said that 85 percent of Americans are already experiencing the benefits of ObamaCare. To which the American people started...

Dead terrorist has privacy rights?

C'mon, Gov. Patrick. Since when do the dead need privacy? It's pretty clear what's going on today in Boston with the Patrick Administration stiff-arming reporter requests for information is a feeble attempt to delay criticism. Reporters want to know...

Woodstock dead pool

The death of Richie Havens may have made you wonder how many of the performers at Woodstock are still alive. This website says it knows. Enjoy. It's even broken down by the day the performer played Woodstock. Who do you have in the Woodstock dead...

Into poverty

Americans don't understand real poverty. For those brave enough to want a better understanding, the movie "Living On One" is a pretty good primer which I highly recommend. It's a documentary that follows four college students to Guatemala where they...
