GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

That’s right, folks. Another corrupt Chicago Democrat — but I repeat myself — is on his way to federal prison: With moist eyes and soft voices, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife pleaded guilty to federal charges on Wednesday related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases […]

Boyle on Menendez: ‘Miller Cut His Teeth in Democratic Scandal Management’

The shameful partisan effort of the major media to discourage attention to the Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) scandal gets a brutal beatdown from the man who originally broke the story last fall: The New York Times on Saturday published a story with a headline claiming “Inquiry of Democratic Senator Started With a Partisan Push,” referring […]

Sources Tell Washington Post FBI Can’t Find Menendez’s Dominican Hookers

There’s a good news/bad news factor here. The good news is, the Washington Post can’t keep ignoring or downplaying the allegations: A team of FBI agents has been conducting interviews in recent weeks in the Dominican Republic and the United States, looking into allegations that Sen.

San Diego’s former mayor, Maureen O’Connor, is a liberal Democrat. But now that she’s been charged in a massive scandal — she stole more than $2 million from a charity established by her late husband, in order to fund a decade-long gambling binge — the New York Times somehow can’t bring itself to mention her partisan affiliation.

The video included a scene in which a female intern wearing a panda suit simulates performing oral sex on Hillary Clinton. . . . A former FreedomWorks official […]

Obama’s Amazing Bullshit Factory

Barack Obama is to bullshit what Willy Wonka was to chocolate, and America has bought the golden ticket. Bad policy cannot be advocated by honest rhetoric. Dishonesty is therefore a hallmark of bad government. In terms of honesty, the Obama administration’s rhetoric is somewhere in the range between Baghdad Bob and North Korea.  Kirsten Powers says Tuesday’s State […]

ObamaPhone Boondoggle Update

In October 2008, I was one of the first conservative writers to call attention to the government program to provide free cell phones to the poor.  This existed before Obama became president, but has since become known as the “O-Phone” program, because recipients mistakenly believe that this is a benefit provided to them by Obama.
