TPM has posted this video and it goes with what I was saying earlier: The part that really gets me wondering is this: I can say with certainty that the Quds force, a part of the Iranian government, has provided these sophisticated IEDs that have harmed our troops. And I’d like to repeat, I […]
This is really ridiculous. The Hill gives us the latest from the Soap Opera called Capital Hill: Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) believes it is his right as a Muslim to be sworn into Congress with the Quran. But apparently, the freshman lawmaker doesn’t believe it’s Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-Colo.) right to smoke a cigar in […]

The following is from a letter circulated by Republican leadership and obtained by Steny Hoyer: We are writing to urge you not to debate the Democratic Iraq resolution […]

San Diego Union Tribune: A federal grand jury issued indictments on Tuesday against Poway defense contractor Brent Wilkes and former high-ranking CIA official Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, childhood friends from San Diego who are embroiled in the Randy “Duke” Cunningham congressional corruption scandal.
