James O'Keefe, the conservative activist filmmaker who rose to national prominence after he captured on film ACORN employees advising persons posing as a prostitute and pimp on best practices for trafficking in child prostitution, was arrested Tuesday for a failed caper at the office of Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu.
O'Keefe and three accomplices aimed to wiretap Landrieu's phones, but the ACORN antagonist's ill-conceived plot ran ...
At CBS News, I make the case that President Obama will be a greater albatross than aid for vulnerable Democratic incumbents locked in tough reelection battles. And, like Clinton before him, Obama will lead Democrats to the slaughter house this November.
A sampling, though do read it in its entirety.
Drowning in a sense of political deja vu--the fear that burgeoning anti-incumbent sentiment is sweeping the nation ...
Pentagon officials acknowledged Friday their aerial refueling tanker program has stalled yet again, leaving uncertain the fate of the Air Force's outdated fleet of more than 500 tankers.
Vying for the $35 billion contract for 179 tanker planes are the Washington-based Boeing and the Toulouse, France-based European Aeronautic Defense Space Company (EADS), though the former has threatened to withdraw from consideration if the Pentagon did not ...
A joint radio appearance with Representative Michele Bachman and Senator Arlen Specter turned ugly yesterday when the Pennsylvania Republican-turned-Democrat became irate and demanded of Bachmann that she "act like a lady."
The pair were invited by Philadelphia-based conservative talker Dom Giordano for a special program marking the one-year anniversary of President Obama's inauguration.
Asked to reflect on the policies she supported over the course of the previous ...
Marking President Barack Obama's first year in office, the Republican National Committee Thursday released a new web video which makes no bones about the GOP's attempts to tap into the anti-tax and anti-big government sentiments among Tea Partiers.
"His rhetoric promised 'Change we can believe in,'" the voice-over said, "but his record delivered disappointment, change we didn't expect."
The ad enumerates those offenses observed as most egregious--the ...
While Senator Paul Kirk (D-MA), serving in the interregnum until Tuesday's special election to fill the seat of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, has largely been lost in the frenetic, disorganized effort by Democrats to maintain control of Camelot, a new analysis by Massachusetts election law experts has thrusted Kirk back into the spotlight, arguing he will lose his vote after Election Day.
Conservative columnist Fred ...
Democratic lawmakers last week made long overdue diplomatic overtures to the gay and lesbian community by signaling their readiness to repeal the controversial ban on gays serving openly in the military known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
But for all the Congressional jockeying, the repeal may ultimately be stymied by President Barack Obama's failure to lead on the issue. The onus of repealing the ban rests ...
In the days following the Virginia Democratic primary, most people were left scratching their heads wondering how it was that Creigh Deeds had won so decisively. No one really saw it coming, as I remember. People knew Deeds was surging towards the end, but there was little empirical evidence.
However, I remember the one graph that showed the clearest evidence was one of Google ...
Senator Barbara Boxer Monday hit the campaign trail to tout jobs "created by the stimulus" in California by the Democrats' $800 billion economic recovery package, attracting ridicule from Republican Carly Fiorina's campaign who accused the junior Democratic senator of an "effort to deceive voters into thinking she's actually done something for California."
With the expansion of California's State Route 905 as her backdrop, Senator Boxer insisted "that ...
My first bylined article at Tucker Carlson's new online venture, The Daily Caller, spotlights the decline in morale among Steele aides as the beleaguered party chief incites one controversy after the next.
A morsel, though do read it in its entirety:
Defecting to the GOP Hill campaign committees after a series of high-profile blunders by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, veteran Republican bundlers and donors are ...
In what constitutes a staggering blow to President Obama's goal of shuttering the Guantanamo Bay military detention facility, a new report by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) says one in five former detainees have returned to militant activity following their release.
But as with each successive challenge to the Obama White House, when all else invariably fails, the President and his aides blame the former ...
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has diverted nearly half a million in contributions from her political action committee to her son's political consulting firm from 2001 to 2009, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
Boxer and Associates, owned by son Douglas Boxer, has in the last 8 years profited to the tune of $497,409.17, $36,000 of which was from last year alone as the politically-vulnerable Boxer ...
Elected on a pledge to deny Beltway lobbyists the undue influence they have previously been afforded, President Barack Obama's inaugural year in office is on pace to be the most lucrative yet for influential K Street lobbyists.
According to figures collected by Politico, Washington's influence peddlers will likely shatter last year's record of $3.3 billion spent on lobbying Congress and the White House.
President Obama's record is ...
Seen as a prelude to the White House honoring President Barack Obama's pledge to shutter the controversial detention facility by January 22, Administration officials last week quietly repatriated twelve Guantanamo Bay detainees.
Among those released were six Yemenis, four Afghanis, and two Somalis, many of whom have been in American custody for the last eight years.
The decision to close Guantanamo--by transferring and trying in civilian court or ...
