It started back during the 'Lame Duck" session of Congress post Nov 2010 DFL ass kicking. It continues to this day. The Senate GOP leadership under Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is incompetent and not up to the challenge. The Congressional GOP leadership under John Boehner (R-OH) is equally incompetent. McConnell gives us a treason filled START treaty with Russia during a "Lame Duck" session. The first time EVER an important treaty was enacted during the "Lame Duck."  A ... << MORE >>

I attempted to enjoy a three day weekend vacation, but was buzz killed on day one due to the Standard & Poor's credit downgrade of America from AAA to AA+. Ugh!  First of all, the S&P should downgrade their own credibility. The S&P rated all the mortgage backed securities as AAA back in 2008 and how did that work out?  Moody's stood firm at AAA though. At least for now. Second, didn't Treasury Secretary Tim Giethner, tax cheat jackass, state America would never be downgraded?  Third, didn't we just pass a crap debt ceiling bill that provided ... << MORE >>

I have mostly stayed away from commenting on the current debt ceiling circus via this forum. I have tweeted though. I find the entire debt ceiling debate to be CRAP. It is full of illusion, lies, etc... What was that one movie called?  "Sex, Lies, and Videotape?"  That is the debt ceiling debate, but sans the sex. Well, almost if you consider Rep Wu's (D-OR) sex scandal, but that is off topic... The GOP starts off with a bill containing $2.5 trillion in cuts for like a $2.5 trillion in debt ceiling increase (approximate numbers, so many were ... << MORE >>

There was a time not so long ago in America when the top career hopes of children were: firefighter, policeman, fighter pilot, astronaut, soldier, nurse, etc... Well, thanks to the ruler of the current regime, Dictator Barack Obama, there is one less choice on the list. Today the NASA Space Shuttle program came to an end. More here. << MORE >>

So... MN maintains its status as one of the most dysfunctional states in the union. MN elects a mentally ill left-wing kook known as former Senator Gov Mark Dayton (D-MN) who only received 44% of the vote and was ranked one of the WORSE Senators EVAH. MN obviously wanted some budget control since the GOP swept every state election, but Dayton and the DFL have been plotting their revenge. To force a gov shutdown, make sure it is painful, and blame the GOP. Not unlike what President Obama is ... << MORE >>

I no sooner get done ripping kook MN Gov Mark Dayton (D-MN), and Power Line provides yet another jewel of MN state Liberalism fully on display. It is sooo like the kook left. "Oh my goodness!  The budget is only going up 3% instead of 5%. We cannot risk budget cuts in these hard economic times. We might need to cut the fire dept or police dept to the bone!  Oh the humanity!"  That is your whacked out Liberals ... << MORE >>

Gov Mark Dayton (D-MN), trust fund brat and Rockefeller in-law, is best known for his 2002 Senate run that had him spending $10 to $15 million of his own money to get elected. The financial hit was so traumatic, that Dayton attempted to go back on a campaign promise to work for $1 per year. I don't know what Dayton actual earned per year, but his political record is obvious. The man was a joke as Senator.   Dayton was such a joke that he quit after just one term. Most mental cases would ... << MORE >>

A lot has changed in the world since 1945. There was the Korean War, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Gulf War I, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, et al... The Cold War started and ended. America has gone from amassing support from virtually all other countries (Gulf War I), to minimal support from a few countries (Gulf War II). Did you know that American has bank rolled the Japanese military since the end of WWII?  Did you know that the reason Europe can afford Universal Health Care is because American pays for their defense?  Then there is the United ... << MORE >>

The state of AK release around 13,000 emails from Gov Sarah Palin's term. The media, in keeping with their 2008 antics, "airdropped" hoards of "journalists" to dig up dirt on the ex-Governor. This is a complete embarrassment to the few remaining credible journalists. The left-wing kook media didn't sweat a single drop reviewing President Obama's past during the 2008 Presidential election, but sent a dozen journalists/lawyers to AK the second after Palin was announced as the GOP VP nominee to dumpster dive, interview anyone that might say bad things, etc... At what point does the 1st Amendment ... << MORE >>

I just cannot believe the number of people that think Gov Sarah Palin is: dumb, stupid, dimwit, etc... I further find their reasoning all the more ridiculous. The reason?  Palin "misspoke" during the answer to a reporter's question, etc... Have any of you heard of former Senator, current VP Joe Biden (D-RI)?  The man is a walking gaffe machine!  Before Biden was "hidden" from public view, the guy had several choice quotes each day. Surely a consistent daily dose of multiple gaffes denotes possible diminished mental capacity?  The truth is that ALL politicians misspeak at one point ... << MORE >>
