Pelosi: 'Civilization as we know it' is in Jeopardy if GOP takes the Senate

Nancy Pelosi has a dire warning for the United States and, since she's not crazy at all, I want you all to listen very closely. On Friday night, she appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show where she hoped to deliver a slice of truth to the comedian's viewers. If the Republicans take the Senate this fall, things are going to be bad. Not just "they might cut taxes" bad, but really, really bad.

Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton agree: Dick Cheney conquered the holy land, created ISIS and Al Qaeda

Last night's post-ISIS speech "analysis" was a smorgasbord of crazy. Virtually every news network had something nutty happening. While CNN was content to let their talking heads simply fight it out, MSNBC took a different approach. As usual, they embraced the "Spinal Tap method" and turned the insanity all the way up to 11.

It's a lot of fun to watch McCain destroy Jay Carney on CNN, but...

Last night, after President Obama announced his totally new "strategy" of doing pretty much what he's already doing - namely striking ISIS via limited airstrikes - newly minted CNN analyst Jay Carney appeared with John McCain to discuss the speech.

Chuck Todd on new polling: Obama on the precipice of doing 'Carter-like' damage to Democrat brand

We all know Obama's policies have been an inarguable disaster. Recent polling shows that his approval rating has tanked on virtually every issue, and the number of people who support his decisions currently sits at an all-time low. So far, though, you could make a pretty strong argument that his shortcomings have - in the political sense - only caused self-inflicted wounds.

Maybe if Ted Kennedy had been an NFL player, the left would have paid more attention

By now, virtually everyone has seen the appalling video of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice savagely attacking his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City elevator. The punch, which knocked his soon-to-be wife unconscious, was fierce, terrifying, and utterly unacceptable on any number of levels. Immediately, pundits and pols began demanding that the NFL take the types of actions they should have taken when the story first broke in January.

New WaPo/ABC News poll: Majority thinks Obama is failing at just about everything

Here we go. As we get closer to November, we're going to see more and more polling and - at least so far - most of it is looking pretty ugly for Democrats. Today's numbers come to us from a new Washington Post / ABCNews poll. For the most part, it's chock full of bad news for the Dems.

If Obama didn't wave in group photos, how would you know it was all about him?

Here in the United States, we know that it's all about Obama. After all, Democrats tell us that all the time. Sure, there may be other countries and other dignitaries but, when push comes to shove, there only one world leader that's important.

Shocker: IRS claims it 'lost' emails of 5 more agents related to Lerner investigation

Late on Friday, when it was hoping no one would be paying attention, the IRS admitted that it had a few new problems on its hands. ...Five new problems, to be precise.

Reuters is shocked to learn that Iran is still stonewalling the IAEA with regards to its nuclear program

If Iran is to be believed, they're like the "Planet Alderaan" of global warfare. They're a tiny, placid, out-of-the-way country with no ambitions regarding nuclear weapons or WMD's of any kind. Heck. Iran only has a nuclear program because it wants clean, efficient, nuclear power. The United States is the big meanie with a stockpile of Death Stars. Iran is just a timid little commune of peace-loving individuals who want to keep the lights on.

Megyn Kelly makes liberal heads explode by running George W. Bush's eerily accurate Iraq predictions

Last week, we talked about Sarah Palin's 2008 prediction that President Obama's weakness would enable Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Obviously, she turned out to be 100% correct.

Benghazi special ops team breaks silence - claim they WERE ordered to 'stand down'

Next week marks the 2 year anniversary of the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. According to the administration, this "non-story” is all over, there was no scandal, there were no lies about a Youtube video, and - most importantly - there was never any sort of "stand down order."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz tries to rekindle the 'War on Women' meme. Fails spectacularly.

Yesterday, during a Milwaukee gathering to discuss women's issues, Debbie Wasserman Schultz decided to the time was right to attack Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Unfortunately for her, she did it in the worst possible way.

Huffington Post hires 9/11 truther, former NFL player, as some kind of national security expert

Hopefully, yesterday's new hire announcement will dispel them of their delusion.

Joe Biden urges you to 'take back America!' Obama and Holder say 'that's racist!'

On Monday, Joe Biden appeared in Detroit where he sought to rile up the flagging, flaccid, rapidly-diminishing ranks of the both the local UAW and union members nationwide. Unfortunately, as Biden is wont to do, he gave a goofy fiery speech that ended up revealing a lot about himself, not to mention his administration's incoherence.

Pentagon briefed do-nothing Pres. on ISIS at least 70 golf games, two Martha's Vineyard vacations ago

When the President threw on his nicest tan suit and announced that "we don't have a strategy yet" to deal with ISIS, the world cringed. Even many of his closest allies admitted it was a disastrous moment that would haunt Barack Obama for the rest of his presidency. If you haven't been paying attention, you might think it's all much ado about nothing. "Of course we don't have a strategy yet," you might say. "ISIS is such a recent problem and he's probably taking his time, trying to come up with the right solution."

Obama wrong about ISIS, says ...Dianne Feinstein?

Uh-oh. Just how bad was Obama's "no strategy" comment? It was so bad that not even Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is willing to defend it.

Governor Perry's twitter feed sends out hilarious tweet, deletes it quickly

Sunday night, Texas Governor Rick Perry's official Twitter feed sent the following image to its followers. It bore simply the abbreviation "A2," featured a photoshopped picture of the Dos Equis "most interesting man in the world" spokesman and, unless you're a liberal stick-in-the-mud, it was pretty funny.

Heartbreaking and Horrifying: 13-year-old recounts atrocities witnessed in ISIS children's training camp

As ISIS rolls through towns and villages, the radical Islamic organization likes to "recruit" children as young as 10 to fight for their cause. "Recruitment" usually goes something like this: "Bring your kids to the ISIS children's camp, or we'll behead you in front of them. Then we'll take them anyway, so you might as well come willingly."

Sarah Palin predicted a weak Obama would enable the 'invasion' of Ukraine

At yesterday's tan suit presser, President Obama said a whole lot of nothing. After informing our ISIS enemies that he has no idea what he's going to do about them - if anything - he turned his attention to Russia. It's should be obvious to every clear-thinking man, woman, and child that, if over a thousand troops, tanks, and paratroopers drop into a foreign nation, it's being invaded. Unfortunately, it seems that it's not obvious to Barack Obama. ...Because the word "invasion" has magically disappeared from his vocabulary.

In case you've forgotten what leadership looks like, David Cameron's ISIS statement

No equivocation. No blame shifting. No downplaying. No namby-pamby "blame Bush for the Iraq war" rhetoric.
