Several readers sent emails calling our attention to continued preposterous claims by Administration officials and their media cheer leaders that in spite of the data presented in our previous article, the stimulus is “working!” Therefore, they say, we should trust their promises on a host of other initiatives including health care, financial regulation, energy regulation, [...]

Senator John McCain is in a tight primary election race in his home state.  He could lose the GOP nomination for his own Senate Seat to challenger J.D. Hayworth.  Thus, he seeks opportunities to impress home state Conservatives, folks he doesn’t really respect. His latest maneuver was to attack President Obama for this remark, made [...]

Politicians try to intimidate real world companies that can’t support the ObamaCare fantasy. The campaign for Congressional enactment of ObamaCare was a classic exercise in deception and manipulation of public perception. President Obama learned from polling and focus group data that most of us were concerned about his enormous deficits. So, his public communication, always [...]

As painful as this is to watch, stay with it until at least 1:30.  You just won’t believe it.

Today, we correct a major deception by the Establishment Media.

The so-called “President’s Plan” is merely a list of promised benefits [...]

The private sector’s ability and willingness to generate income and profits for government to seize through taxation is rapidly diminishing due to the increase in federal power and intervention. The drop in individual income tax revenue in fiscal 2009 was the steepest since 1939.  As the chart shows revenue continues to plummet in fiscal 2010 [...]

UPDATE: This week President Obama began a campaign style tour to hype the “success” of the Recovery Act or “stimulus.”  He said without it there would heave been “a catastrophe.” But he did not provide any details as to the nature of the catastrophe.  Considering the data below it’s pretty difficult to characterize employment as [...]

UPDATE: N.O.W. President Terry O’Neill claims the ad is a “celebration of violence against women.”  Here’s the quote: I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it.  That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. Well, they did it.  CBS ran the dreaded Tim Tibow [...]
