Let’s not assume sanity will reign over the GOP anytime soon when it comes to immigration. The amnesty hypochondriac wing of the GOP is still pumped up on panic, as we can tell from this telling House GOP statement: House Republicans disapprove of the Senate immigration bill that is expected to go back to the […]

As we are set to see if this country will finally take actions (imperfect and incomplete as all actions are when legislated) I find the shrillnes from the hypochondriacs this day laughable. A series of hypochondriac myths are falling to reality and it is just sometimes pathetically funny to watch. We had the fence BS […]

Another amnesty hypochondria myth is being debunked: If the effort to catch people illegally crossing the border here in the southern Arizona desert is a cat-and-mouse struggle, the Homeland Security Department says it has a smarter cat. It comes in the form of nine nearly 100-foot-tall towers with radar, high-definition cameras and other equipment rising […]

I think we will see way too much of this as a result of the harshness that has surrounded the immigration bill: State Rep. Paul Froehlich, a Schaumburg Republican, said he’s changing political parties and becoming a Democrat. “After being in the minority for five years, with no prospects of that changing, I think I […]

Apparently the Immigration Bill is within striking distance of passing the Cloture vote of 60. One estimate has the opposition now at 32 votes (with enough undecideds to make this interesting). The panicky amnesty hypochondriacs are going to be in full froth until the vote at 11:30 or so this morning. They can’t wait to […]

Iraq has turned a corner. a-Qaeda is being destroyed and, even worse, humiliated on the battlefield as they run from the battles and leave their troops to die. In comparison, the Iraqi forces are standing tall: he Iraqi soldiers and units working with the Multinational Division North are “holding firm,” the director of operations for […]

If the immigration Bill is going to pass the cloture vote we know it will be close. I am not sure which way it will go but I think it will pass the cloture 62-37 27. The 37 27 opposed will be mostly the GOP deadenders. If it passes this test it will go through […]

Al Gore is a buffoon. A self absorbed, egotistical buffoon. He is now all upset because scientists – who clearly disagree on the level of responsibility man-made activities have on the current global warming and how effective voodoo science like Kyoto would be in impacting the global climate – just cannot see how SIMPLE it […]

Update: Michael Yon is reporting in again and sees things on the ground basically the same way I have seen them distantly through the lense of the media: Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) had tarnished its name here by publicly attacking and murdering children, videotaping beheadings, all while imposing harsh punishments on Iraqi civilians found […]

Well, the GOP’s Supreme Court Hypochondriacs (you know, the ones that wrung their hands for two years over the Gang of 14 and Harriet Miers and started the destruction of the conservative governing coalition) are getting a big “I told you so” from me today: he Supreme Court loosened restrictions Monday on corporate- and union-funded […]
