The Republican-dominated House oversight committee has recommended that Attorney General Eric Holder be held in contempt of Congress. This is the kind of political gamesmanship that makes everyone else hold Congress in contempt. The fight between Congressional Republicans and the Obama administration is over a Department of Justice gun trafficking sting called Operation Fast and Furious. Unbelievably, the whole fight is actually more ridiculous than the movie “Fast and Furious.” The actual Fast and Furious operation has about as much to do with the real reasons for this whole thing as Monica Lewinsky had to do with the real reasons for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In fact, this sorry episode makes the impeachment of Clinton look like an exercise in judgment and restraint on the part of Republicans.
The Washington Post asks if President Obama is trying to bait House Republicans. I’m sure it’s a great temptation to bait the House Republicans—they’re always trying to bite. The President is telling Republicans in Congress “bring it on.” That’s hardly necessary. Telling Republicans to bring it on is like telling garbage to stink. The Post says that Obama’s invoking of executive privilege is “a finger in the eye of House GOPers.” If it is, they walked into it... with their eyes open.
Ron Paul was on TV talking about his long range plans to get rid of Social Security... and his short range plans to keep on cashing his Social Security checks. Yes, Ron Paul wants to get rid of Social Security, and he is collecting Social Security. Maybe he plans on destroying Social Security by draining all of its funds into his own bank account. Hey, isn’t that what the people on Wall Street are trying to do?
Finally, Mitt Romney addressed a major Latino group today. There was a big cultural difference on display—Latinos are from planet Earth. Mitt is trying to walk a tightrope on immigration. And it’s not easy to walk a tightrope when you’re wearing $1,000 shoes.
Listen to me Monday through Friday 6 PM to 8 PM on WWRL 1600.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced a so-called comprehensive immigration plan. And, as usual, Democrats conceded to Republican demands in the name of compromise. Over the last five days, the Judiciary Committee members considered over...
I must admit, I've never been to Oklahoma. I have family friends from there, but it's one part of the Great Plains I've managed to avoid in my life. Yet that didn't stop me from feeling quite a bit of empathy with those folks in...
For over a week, Republicans have refused to focus on anything but so-called scandal. And, it turns out, that's exactly the way they want it. On Thursday, the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, sent a letter to...
A new CNN poll shows Obama's favorability rating at 53 percent. That's up from 51 percent in April, and up from the 51.1 percent from the poll that really counted last November. Like before the scandals, 45 percent of people disapprove of the...
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have made their point – they hate Obamacare. And, just in case anyone didn't get the message the first 36 times they made that point, they're about to waste even more taxpayer...
It turns out the IRS was investigating conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status. Duh! And the TSA has been looking at people seeking to get on airplanes. None of the conservative organizations that the IRS was "targeting" were...
The Associated Press has accused the Justice Department of "massive and unprecedented intrusion." That's according to one of the AP's top executives, after learning that the government secretly acquired two months of the news...
It seems that the Republicans won't stop until their attacks over Benghazi are as vicious as the attack in Benghazi. The Republicans would have you believe that the Obama administration altered the talking points on Benghazi out of political...
