One of the news stories this week was President Obama’s decision on whether to have his administration grant a permit for a private company to proceed with building the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipe that would run from the Canadian border to US refineries on the Gulf Coast. Obama denied the permit. That’s a quick [...]
Back in the 2004 elections the Rathergate episode definitively demonstrated that the mainstream media, Fox News excluded, had turned into little more than the propaganda arm of the Democrats and the Left in general. In what remains quite clear to many Americans as a deliberate action, CBS News and specifically Dan Rather accepted at face [...]
I’ve been expecting this since the failure by the Huntsman campaign to even attempt to get on the ballot in Virginia: Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is expected to withdraw his bid for the Republican presidential nomination and throw his support to Mitt Romney, Fox News learned Sunday. Huntsman is set to announce his withdrawal [...]
I mentioned on Friday that the current Chairman of the GOP’s VA 10th District Committee, Howie Lind, would not seek re-election this year. In his announcement, he reported that he had asked John Whitbeck to run for the seat and that Whitbeck had agreed to do so. Today I got an e-mail from the Whitbeck [...]
That’s uanimous, folks: The Supreme Court has rejected the Obama administration’s argument that it can dictate who churches hire as ministers or clergy in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v.

However, there might be something to the story, picking up steam, that Mitt Romney might not have taken Iowa like it 1st appeared. As Virginia Virtucon tells us, [...]
Yesterday, President Barak Obama undertook an action that several of his predecessors have taken: he appointed someone to public office – in this case a “czar” and 3 members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – using the “recess appointment” power explicitly granted him in the US Constitution which allows him to fill vacancies [...]
Ready or not, some people are getting to vote via e-mail and other connected devices: Voters in many states will have an easier time casting their ballots in 2012, as elections officials are now allowing some people vote via email or iPad devices. They’re also using technology to help count ballots faster and keep track [...]
As just about everyone who’s paying attention to the news knows by now, the field of contenders for the GOP presidential nomination has been narrowed to 2 in the Commonwealth of Virginia as only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have managed to get onto the ballot. Gingrich, Perry, Bachman, Huntsman, Santorum, and everyone else who’s [...]
