Ambassador John Christopher Stevens's blood is on Obama's hands!

Deb Fischer Wins Nebraska GOP Primary For U.S. Senate

As I have farm property in  Nebraska, I have been watching the Nebraska U.S. Senate Primary race.  Here's the latest (Source: Michelle Malkin's blog):

Nebraska state Senator Deb Fischer pulled off a surprise upset victory against Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning in the state’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday, marking the second contest in two weeks in which an establishment favorite was upended by a dark horse candidate in a Senate primary. 

Fischer, a rural rancher from the state’s 43rd legislative district, eked out a 5-point victory over Bruning, winning 41 percent to the Attorney General’s 36 percent with nearly all the votes counted. State Treasurer Don Stenberg earned 19 percent. 

As of just a few weeks ago, Bruning was widely considered the favorite in the race, and was expected to handily defeat Fischer and Stenberg to face off against Democratic candidate Bob Kerrey in November. 

Kerrey has been out of Nebraska since he retired from the Senate.  He's been out of touch anyway.

According to Rush Limbaugh this morning, latest tracking polls show Fischer leading Kerrey by double-digits.  Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Fischer during the primary campaign.

 I am urging Nebraskans to support Deb Fischer for U.S. Senate.

Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Demands Probe of IRS's Harassment of Tea Party

Michelle Malkin is reporting that talk-show host Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Foundation is demanding a probe into the harassment of Tea Party groups by the Internal Revenue Service.

At her blog, Malkin wrote:

Earlier this month, I reported on President Obama’s campaign bully brigade — and I noted the IRS intimidation of Tea Party groups across the country.

The Landmark Legal Foundation is not taking it lying down.

Today, conservative talk radio giant and movement warrior Mark Levin’s group requested an immediate investigation “into possible misconduct by the Internal Revenue Service’s Exempt Organization (EO) Division that calls into question the integrity of federal tax administration and IRS programs.” Specifically, the letter cites the feds’ information demands that went “far beyond the appropriate level of inquiry regarding the religious, charitable and/or educational activities of a tax exempt entity. The inquiries are not relevant to these permitted activities. Inquiries extend to organizational policy positions and priorities, personal and political affiliations, and associations of staff, board members and even family members of staff and board members.”

Levin has published two best-selling books, Liberty and Tyranny and Ameritopia.

Santorum's Dumb Comment: Time To Hang It Up!

Former Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum stepped in it yesterday when he said (about a choice between rival Mitt Romney and Barack Obama), “We might as well stay with what we have.”

This comment disappointed Santorum supporters, including columnist Michelle Malkin, who wrote, "I remain a Rick Santorum supporter, but I do not agree with the comments he reportedly made earlier tonight about Barack Obama being preferable to Mitt Romney."

Romney answered Santorum during an interview with Hugh Hewitt:

HH: Well, I’ve got to talk to you about something Rick Santorum said today. He shocked a lot of people when he said that you know, we might as well stick with President Obama rather than elect Mitt Romney if you’re the nominee. That’s a paraphrase. But what do you think of that statement?

MR: Well, I’m afraid Rick is confusing the nature of this race. This race is not about one person. This is a race about the direction for the country. The country is going in a very seriously wrong direction under President Obama. And I’m afraid that Rick increasingly thinks this race is about him. It’s not about him. It’s not about me. It’s not about a personality. It’s about the country. And I’m really disappointed in Rick’s statement. Obviously, he endorsed me three years ago when I was running for president. He had no problem calling me a real conservative, a solid conservative. But now that he’s in the race, it has become all about Rick. And that’s just not right for the party, it’s not right for the country.

HH: Governor Romney, the exact quote from Senator Santorum is “We might as well stay with what we have.” You have talked about the consequences of a second term for Barack Obama. Now one of two people are going to be president a year from now – you or Barack Obama. What difference will it make?

MR: Well, first of all, under Barack Obama, we’d keep Obamacare. If I’m president, we’ll get rid of Obamacare. Under President Obama, we’ll have probably two, maybe even three new Supreme Court justices, liberals, progressives, so to speak. If I’m president, we’ll have strict constructionists on the Court. Under Barack Obama, we’ll have more restriction on fossil fuels, and a higher cost of gasoline. If I’m president, we’ll take advantage of our energy resources. Under Barack Obama, we’ll continue to tilt the playing field towards organized labor. If I’m president, we’ll allow individuals to have a secret ballot to decide if they want a union or not. I mean, my list goes on. You could not have much more differences than those that add up, for instance, to a deficit under Barack Obama of a trillion dollars a year, with America ultimately hitting a Greek-like wall. If I’m president, we will finally balance our budget, we will secure Social Security and Medicare without bankrupting the next generation. It’s a wholly different course if I’m president than if Barack Obama is president.

Romney has an overwhelming lead in the delegate count. Santorum has virtually no chance in overtaking Romney.

Rick, it's time to hang it up!

Andrew Breitbart, R.I.P.

Shocking news was posted by columnist Michelle Malkin this morning.

Andrew Breitbart has died. He was 43.

Larry Solov at Big Journalism announced:

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

We've lost a great voice.

Weinergate: Was that "Little Anthony"?

Funny how karma works in strange ways.

Liberal Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner, one of the most obnoxious libs in Congress, finds himself embroiled in a scandal over a lewd photo originating from his Twitter account.

The Washington Post reported:

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has become the latest member of Congress to run into Twitter trouble after a lewd photo was sent from his account on the microblogging site Friday night.

The photo, which was taken from the waist down and shows a man in bulging gray underwear, was first reported early Saturday by BigGovernment.com, the Web site of conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart.

The photo is available and can be easily found via Google.

Was that "Little Anthony"?

Weiner contends that his Twitter account was hacked but refuses to answer reporters' questions:

Weiner’s office said Monday that the congressman had retained an attorney following the incident. Neither Weiner nor his spokesman have directly responded to several questions about the matter, including whether the photo of an underwear-clad groin was of Weiner or whether Weiner has asked law enforcement officials to investigate.

Also, he got into a testy argument with reporters, calling one a "jackass."

Find Marizela Perez

One of my favorite political commentators is Michelle Malkin.

On March 5, 2011, her cousin Marizela Perez disappeared. She was last seen in a Safeway supermarket near Seattle's University of Washington.

According to Malkin:

She is a University of Washington undergrad and she has been missing since Saturday afternoon, when she left the Rainier Beach neighborhood headed to the UW Seattle campus. Her parents have been trying to reach her all weekend; she apparently never made it to campus and has not been heard from by phone/Internet. They’ve filed a missing persons report with the Seattle Police Department. Hospitals have been alerted, according to family members, and bus and train routes have been checked. No sign.

KIRO-TV reported:

Marizela Perez was last seen on March 5, in surveillance video at a Safeway in the University District.

Perez was carrying her laptop when she disappeared.

Perez’ father, Edgar Perez, said that on March 9, family members noticed that his daughter’s AOL instant messaging icon was active, indicating that someone was logged into her account, the Seattle Times reported.

A website has been set up in the efforts to find Marizela. To view it, go here.

Giffords Shooting: The Looney Left's Blame Game

A deranged man shoots Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and several others, killing some, and the Looney Left tries to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement for the act.

Sorry, folks! That "dawg won't hunt!"

Newsmax.com has the story on the assassin. It starts with:

Dems, Media Blame Tea Party, Palin for Shooting; Shooter Linked to Leftwing Politics

As U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords fights for her life after a mad gunman shot her on Saturday, some Democrats and major media have moved to pin the blame for her attack on the tea party movement and conservatives like Sarah Palin, despite the fact that the shooter was both deranged and fascinated by leftwing politics.

Giffords' Democratic colleague, Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, told Mother Jones magazine within hours after the rampage that the “political tone and tenor” created by Palin and the tea party movement had set the stage for the shooting.

Grijalva said Palin's “apparatus” had put Giffords' and his own life at risk.

“Both Gabby and I were targeted in the apparatus in that cycle [saying] these people are ‘enemies.’” He added: “The Palin express better look at their tone and their tenor.”

The liberal New York Times was not far behind Grijalva, publishing a lead story headlined "Bloodshed Puts New Focus on Vitriol in Politics."

And, the article continues with:

Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation, noted on his website that Giffords is “a liberal,” but added, “that does not matter now. No one should be a victim of violence because of their political beliefs.”

Indeed, the profile of the accused shooter, 22-year-old Jared Loughner, that continues to emerge is that of a deranged young man whose mind was deeply distubred, but who also tinkered with both anarchist ideas and leftwing politics.

The only person to blame is the shooter himself, Jared Loughner.

The Left isn't so innocent when it comes to vitriolic rhetoric either, here's a stroll down "Memory Lane" courtesy of Michelle Malkin.

Powell's Illegal Immigrant Gaffe

On Meet The Press yesterday, Gen. Colin Powell said this about illegal immigrants to David Gregory:

We have millions and millions of illegal immigrants in our country, undocumented individuals, who are working, who are doing things we need done in this country. They’re all over my house, doing things, making repairs. I’m sure you’ve seen them at your house.

Then today, Powell tried to retreat:

I don’t hire illegal immigrants. On Meet the Press yesterday, I referred to illegal immigrants working around my house. I was referring to the many service contractors who work in my neighborhood, using mostly immigrant workers, who do good work. Some may well be “illegal.”

First, Powell says illegal immigrants are "all over my house" (Rush Limbaugh said that it sounds as if illegals are swarming Powell's estate like cockroaches) and then he says he doesn't hire them.

No wonder Michelle Malkin referred to Powell today as a "crapweasel." (Interesting term, I can think of a number of people who are crapweasels.)

9/12: America's Monumental Shame

Above, the World Trade Center before the attacks.

Political correctness, foot-dragging, design disputes, politics (right vs. left) and a myriad of other reasons why the World Trade Center construction in New York has not been completed after nine years. This is the topic of an article by Michelle Malkin.

Obama's "Manic Depression"

Folks are really getting into the swing of President Obama's "channeling" of Jimi Hendrix with his "they talk about me like a dog" quip right out of Hendrix's song "Stone Free."

Political commentator Michelle Malkin has a post at her site by Doug Powers, titled, "The Barack Obama Experience — Taxes: Bold as Love." (Jimi's band was the Jimi Hendrix Experience and their second album was "Axis: Bold As Love.")

In the article, Powers noted:

As it turns out, some intrepid researchers are speculating that Obama might have been channeling a line from the Jimi Hendrix song “Stone Free.”

I was skeptical at first, but it kind of makes sense, because another line in that song is “I got to, got to, got to get away” — perfect for somebody who just came off several weeks worth of vacations.

This is just the beginning of the fun. Powers and people commenting on the article came up with some clever Hendrixesque lines. The one I like is one from Powers:

“Spanish Castle Magic” would cover the first lady’s Antoinette-esque trip to Costa del Sol.

To read the full article, go here.

By the way, the first Jimi Hendrix Experience album, "Are You Experienced?" includes a song called "Manic Depression." Perhaps it is fitting that Jimi Hendrix is getting this attention as this month marks the 40th anniversary of his death.
