Two Presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Clinton. Neither was convicted by the Senate, although Johnson won by only one vote. It would be a waste of rime to try to impeach Obama. The main case for this would be that Congress would waste a lot of time. There is a good case for […]

House Speaker John Boehner threatens a lawsuit over Obama’s use of executive orders. I’m for it. The public does not understand executive orders. Any bad publicity given to them is positive. There are over 13,000 of them. They let a President create laws without Congress. They are mentioned in the Constitution. They have been used […]

Congressman Ralph Hall of Texas lost in a primary bid for an 18th term. I voted for him in the first year he was elected, 1980. He later switched to the Republicans. Ron Paul supported him this time. But, at 91, he has been turned out — the oldest man in Congress, and the last […]

How could anyone have known that the Veterans Administration’s health care delivery system is a catastrophe? Easy. By reading Nobel Prize-winning Keynesian economist Paul Krugman in 2011, and then taking the opposite position. What Mr. Romney and everyone else should know is that the V.H.A. is a huge policy success story, which offers important lessons […]

I had not heard of Congressman Gowdy until yesterday. I hope to hear of him again. He made a 3-minute presentation in front of the mainstream media’s agents. I have never seen anything like it. As an example of rhetoric, it is flawless. He ended it exactly right. He took no prisoners. All in all, […]

It has been a year since Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA. I appreciate what Snowden did. His decision to leak the stolen documents has done the conservative movement an enormous favor. It has blown to smithereens the greatest single myth of conservatism: “If the American people knew about this, there would be […]

The Secretary-General of the United Nations — do you know his name? — gave a speech over the weekend. He announced the following. Climate change is the defining issue of our time. If we do not take urgent action, all our plans for increased global prosperity and security will be undone.” http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=47718#.U2c6tCiPNqJ This speech indicates […]

Well, it finally happened. Secretary of State John Kerry has pulled off a verbal faux pas that makes Joe Biden look like a rank amateur. He publicly said that the State of Israel is bordering on becoming an apartheid state. Now the fun begins. The waffling. The “I meant to says.” The “he meant to […]

When pressed by Associated Press reporter Matt Lee at a Tuesday press conference, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was unable to name a single “tangible achievement” from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2010 Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review. In 2009, Clinton announced the State Department would begin conducting routine performance reviews in the QDDR. The […]

Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) has introduced a bill called the “Contempt Act,” which would prevent current and future federal employees from collecting their taxpayer-funded salaries as long as they’re being held in contempt of Congress. The bill, which has no chance of becoming law in a divided Congress, currently would apply to one man — […]
