White House finally admits, Obama admin created the sequester

If a conservative dares to point out that Obama created the sequester, they're instantly inundated with a barrage of negative comments. The liberal counterargument is, invariably, "No he didn't, this is John Boehner's doing - he passed it so he could protect his evil, greedy, rich pals." They ignore the fact that Obama signed it into law, and they also ignore that he promised to veto any legislation that sought to replace the sequester with a different plan.

Obama sequester press conference ignores his veto promise

Today, Barack Obama took to the podium and confirmed that the terrifying cuts - cuts which every American should fear as if they were a gun pointed to their heads - will become law. Negotiations have failed, there will be no deal, and the United States will suffer the consequences.

Jay Carney embarrasses himself - can’t back up administration sequester claims

We all know the media has, generally, been a bunch of sniveling, groveling, lapdogs for the Obama administration. The White House makes an assertion, and the press corps repeats it as fact. That's how it's supposed to work. Deviate from the plan, and risk raising the admin's ire.

White House threatens Bob Woodward over sequester reporting

Barack Obama wanted to be sure that everyone on Earth was 100% convinced that the sequester was a Republican construct.

Obama is sick and tired of the ‘manufactured crises’ he keeps creating

At this point, nothing he says surprises me. The Obama administration is so far down the rabbit hole that when the President decides to pipe up, I expect the torrent of insanity that invariably follows.

When it’s time for some questions, the Press has to leave

Yesterday, Barack Obama addressed the 2013 Winter Meeting of the National Governor's Association. The assembly included governors from all across the country and, after his speech, the President wanted to be sure he opened the floor to questions.

Obama using his own sequester to fear monger - don’t buy into it

If the Democrats are to be believed, we're headed for a fiscal armegaddon. Should the oh-so-evil Republicans in Congress allow the sequester to happen, there's simply no end to the havoc it will wreak.

Joe Biden recommends a pair of 12 gauge warning shots for women in danger

Joe Biden is a big fan of shotguns. A few weeks ago, he recommended the weapons for post-earthquake protection and defense during societal collapse. Now, he's telling women that they should just fire a couple of random warning shots if they hear scary noises.

Joe Salazar: Rape victims shouldn’t have guns, because women may be overcome with paranoia

Colorado is currently in the midst of a heated gun control debate. There are several new measures moving through the state's legislature, most prominently a complete ban on private firearm sales. If you're in favor of this kind of thing, you're probably thrilled to have a Democrat like Coloardo State Rep. Joe Salazar on your side.

Pelosi: Congressional pay cut would undermine the ‘dignity’ of the job

We've seen a whole lot of crazy tumble from the mouth of California Representative Nancy Pelosi, but this bit is just priceless.

Saturday Night Live observes Lent with the most offensive sketch in its history: Djesus Uncrossed

Update: I debated posting this, as doing so will only draw more attention to it. However, it's becoming a news story as the video spreads, so here you go.... 2013's Lenten season began Wednesday, and Christians all over the world are observing the six week lead-up to Easter Sunday. It's a solemn, reverent, time for millions of faithful. So, of course, the ultra-tolerant progressive left sees it as an opportunity to unload their derision, their hatred, and their ugliness upon believers.

Russia: meteor explosion injures nearly 1000 - amazing video

If you've seen any news today, you're probably already aware of the meteor that exploded over the Ural Mountains this morning. At around 9:20 A.M. local time, a 10 ton rock entered the Earth's atmosphere at estimated speed 33,000 miles per hour. It exploded about thirty miles above the surface.

Rand Paul tears into Obama’s $2 Trillion State of the Union fiction

During the State of the Union, one of Obama's biggest lies was the notion that "Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion – mostly through spending cuts, but also by raising tax rates on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. As a result, we are more than halfway towards the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists say we need to stabilize our finances."

Allen West: Dr. Carson violated an ‘unwritten rule’ about being black and criticizing Obama

The phony outrage over Dr. Benjamin Carson's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast has reached a fever pitch. How dare someone stand up and defy the good-and-proper Barack Obama?

Pelosi-land: 1st Amendment is about guns and we don’t have a spending problem

If every interview is going to go the way of yesterday's Fox News Sunday, Nancy Pelosi needs to get out in front of the cameras more often.

CNN anchor wonders if global warming is causing asteroids. ...seriously

No one says you have to be smart to be an on-air newsreader. In fact, it looks like CNN is out to prove that broadcasting an array of "low-information anchors" is the way to go.

All the cool universities are applying for FAA drone licenses

When you see a list of municipalities and institutions that are applying for FAA Drone Licenses, you expect to see the Marine Corps, the Navy, etc. Even the DOJ isn't shocking. Creepy, maybe, but not surprising. Now that the President has decided he can summarily order the drone-strike execution of U.S. citizens without trial, every federal agency is going to want one.

Dr. Benjamin Carson tears into Obama policies at National Prayer Breakfast

In case you missed it, or just haven't had a chance to watch it, here's Dr. Benjamin Carson's complete speech from yesterday's prayer National Prayer Breakfast.

Sixth grade homework assignment: design a new socialist/communist flag

Remember the Sixth grade? I do. I was assigned to read Johnny Tremain. Set during the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the novel taught kids about the Boston Tea Party, the British blockade of Boston, and Paul Revere's ride. I remember thinking that, for something a teacher was forcing me to read, it was pretty good. That's high praise from an 11-year-old.
