Nothing to see here. Move along.

ObamaCare author Tom Harkin: ObamaCare is a complicated train wreck

The final nail.

ObamaCare incentivizes hiring amnestied illegals to the tune of $3000 each

Why hire citizens? They're so pricy!

Landrieu chief of staff caught on camera promising Landrieu will vote with Obama 97% of the time

Oops. There goes the narrative.

Ted Cruz: Romney, Christie, and Bush are going to run - and they'll lose in the general

Way back before 2012, I argued that if Mitt Romney was the nominee, he'd lose. He simply had no chance because the base wouldn't support him. Then, as the election drew closer, I'll admit it. I got caught up in things. I started to think that he might actually pull it off. In the end, obviously, my initial instincts were proven right.

Obama: You're not allowed an opinion on immigration unless you're Native American.

According to virtually every poll, Barack Obama's unilateral amnesty is as unpopular as it is illegal. Even Hispanics, who were supposed to be cheering, are less than thrilled. So, when you've done something that almost everyone thinks is a terrible idea, what does a good community organizer do?

Chuck Schumer admits ObamaCare was a mistake - fails miserably to learn from it

Back in 2008, Democrats rode into office on a wave of deeply misplaced optimism in Barack Obama. They held the House, the Senate, and the White House. They could have done anything they wanted. More importantly, they could have done anything the American people wanted. So, of course, they chose to do the one thing that nobody wanted - ObamaCare.

Obama breaks the irony meter as he urges calm in Ferguson: 'we are a nation built on the rule of law'

If you watched President Obama's statement on the Ferguson decision last night, you were treated to a parade of irony. It began with an appeal for peace and calm, paired with the laughable assertion that “First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law.”

Obama: No! The GOP can't use my Immigration executive order as precedent to eliminate capital gains taxes

President Obama's executive order on immigration hinges on one very flimsy idea. Broad "prosecutorial discretion" allows the President to decide that, because he doesn't like a law that Congress has refused to change, he's simply not going to enforce it. That's a ridiculous argument to make, and a grotesque exaggeration of what prosecutorial discretion was supposed to be, but it's the claim they've chosen to stake.

Chuck Hagel fired for President's failings. New York Times whitewashes

When a President's party suffers catastrophic midterm losses, you can always count on one thing: That President will reflect on his tenure, and then take responsibility in a series of rational, measured admissions of failure.

Dr. Ben Carson hosts conference call to 'clarify' his 2nd Amendment stance

Last year, Dr. Ben Carson did some substantial damage to his constitutional credentials by suggesting that the 2nd Amendment was somehow limited by a citizen's geographic location. Asked where he stood on gun ownership, he told Glenn Beck:

Al Sharpton: My Tax problems are because of racism! ...And Trayvon! ...And Ferguson!

It will come as little surprise that Al Sharpton is the victim of racism. Given that his entire life's work involves race-baiting, ginned-up controversy, and portraying everyone as either the perpetrator or victim of some sort of race-based malevolence, it was probably just his turn. Sure, it's sad that things operate this way, but this is the reality of the horrible country in which we live.

Union 'disgusted' over Keystone rejection - threatens Dems with a 2016 'reaction'

CNBC confirms: Obama to announce immigration executive order Friday in Las Vegas

According to CNBC, the network has confirmed that President Obama will announce his immigration intentions illegal executive orders granting amnesty on Friday. He'll detail his plan while in Las Vegas, a city he says you should not visit. Their sources indicate that he may actually give a broad description on Thursday, before going into detail the next day.

The entire Jonathan Gruber ObamaCare scandal in one two minute video

I'll admit it. I chuckled a few times at this two-and-a-half-minute video compiling Jonathan Gruber's worst comments and the subsequent Democrat denials. It's hard not to, since the utter insanity that's on display here is absolutely epic. However, the longer this thing goes, the angrier you're likely to get.

VIDEO: Asked to explain himself, Gruber runs like Debbie Wasserman Schultz's mascara on election night.

ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber has now appeared in countless embarrassing, incriminating, gleefully sleazy videos. Each time a new bit of tape appears; he reveals a little bit more of the truth behind ObamaCare and makes things worse - not only for himself, but for the Democrats' healthcare boondoggle. Yesterday was no exception.

Having learned nothing, Democrats re-elect Nancy Pelosi to captain their Titanic

During the midterms, conservatives watched in horror as Nancy Pelosi led her party to a stunning victory in the House of Representatives. Pundits assumed it was impossible, but she applied her grace, intellect, and sharp strategic skills. By the end of the night the Democrats had retaken the lower house. While we're upset about this, we can't help but be impressed by her clear thinking and her deft maneuvering.

Obama runs from Gruber, calls him 'Some Adviser Who Never Worked on Our Staff'

For a week, now, any media source with a shred of integrity has been discussing the Jonathan Gruber story. The fact that someone so closely tied to the law has admitted to the truth behind its passage is huge news. There's just no way around that.

How much did you pay Jonathan Gruber to lie to you? Millions. The money is piling up.

If you've been paying attention to the story about the myriad Jonathan Gruber videos, you've probably heard the sum of $400,000.00 bandied about. That's how much the Department of Health and Human Services paid him to trick the CBO, lie to the American people, and help pass a bill that was reliant on "the stupidity of the American voter."
