WASHINGTON DC – The barbershop of the U.S. Senate has run deficits of approximately $350,000 a year for each of the last 15 years. So Senate sergeant at arms Terry Gainer has decided to try out a new model, one that has looked rather unfashionable during the Obama era: privatization.

Gainer has tried to trim Senate Hair Care Services for the past few years. Now the political climate troubling everyone else on Capitol Hill is allowing him to move faster than he anticipated towards privatizing it completely. (more…)

What you are speaks so loudly we cannot hear a word you are saying…..

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain is apologizing for calling Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz “wacko birds” and says he respects what his Senate colleagues stand for.

“[In] an interview I said that Sen. Cruz and Sen. Paul were ‘wacko birds.’ That was inappropriate and I apologize to them for saying that, and I respect them both. I respect what they stand for and what they believe in. They both made an impact out here in the United States Senate,” McCain (R-Ariz.) said on Fox News on Friday.

McCain had previously told The Huffington Post earlier this month that Cruz (R-Texas), Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) were “wacko birds” for their outspoken brand of politicking on the Hill. McCain has also criticized Paul for his nearly 13-hour filibuster that pressured President Barack Obama’s administration to clarify its position on the use of domestic drones.  (more)

Robert Spencer and Pam Geller were banned from CPAC 2013. However, team Breitbart organized a panel discussion. Spencer and Geller hit back. (videos from Jim Hoft @GWP)

Now it’s off to the floor…….  we’ll see.

WASHINGTON DC – The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a hugely controversial ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, but the measure faces nearly certain defeat on the Senate floor.

The proposal, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), bans 157 different models of assault weapons, as well as magazines containing more than 10 bullets.

The vote was 10 to 8, with all Democrats supporting it and all Republicans opposed. (more…)

The blogging world that stands on principle is forever shrinking.

The Conservative Treehouse will be boycotting CPAC in any and all forms (including coverage) due to their lack of honesty and manipulative corruption.   This is our small way of showing support for American Patriots Robert Spencer and Pam Geller.

Right is Right even if nobody does it – Wrong is Wrong even if everybody does it !

(Via Robert Spencer @JihadWatch)  I was surprised and honored that Jihad Watch was among the nominees for the People’s Choice Blog Award, sponsored by Right Wing News and TheTeaParty.net, to be awarded at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2013.

As you can see from the vote above, Jihad Watch won decisively, getting over 50% of the vote in a field of fifteen. And I received confirmation of the victory from one of the organizers of the CPAC blog awards when I asked him when voting officially ended:

From: XXXXXXXXX

Robert

It officially ended at midnight. You won!

But as time went by and no announcement was made of this victory, and the voting continued despite my having been told that it officially ended last Friday night and that I had won, and the promised links and other placement promised to the winning blog didn’t materialize, I started to wonder. So I contacted the organizer who had written me telling me I won and asked him what was going on. (more…)

If you do not join the demand for co-dependent compliance – the media will ridicule you.  It has always been thus.    It’s just another angle of Alinsky Tacticians.     There are multiple ways to “Isolate” – “Ridicule” – “Demonize”…..

The destination is the goal.   A sailboat of evil constitution – headed to its home  port of wretched despair – will at times have to use a process of “tacking” left and right, to take advantage of a wind not directly at its rear.   But let that not blind you to the forward progress – toward the home port……

…… Only a fool would think such a manuever intends a change of course.   The destination is unchanged, it just takes a little longer when the Spinnaker is unable to be deployed. (more…)

Moments after John McCain calls fellow Republicans’ Rand Paul and Ted Cruz “wacko birds” (with the Huffington Post) Rand Paul steps into the same elevator.

Squawkward !

Obviously I admire Rand Paul’s self restraint.   If it had been me in his position, I probably would have hit the emergency stop button and asked him (quite deliberately) “hey dipshit, whatever happened to that ‘I won’t support Brennan until we get all the Bengazi information’ point you were holding?…… Never mind – Maverdick indeed”

This is why I hate some republicans only slightly less than progressives.

John McCain and Lindsey Graham Declared War on Rand Paul Today – Senator John McCain (R-AZ) took to the senate floor today and TRASHED Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). Sen. John McCain took the Senate floor on Thursday afternoon to respond to Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster about drones — and made it abundantly clear that he does not in fact “stand with Rand.” Reading from the critical Wall Street Journal editorial urging Paul to “calm down,” McCain tore into Paul’s arguments.

By the way, it didn’t have to be that particular article. There are a thousand other links that could have been used for the same purpose spreading back over the last 60 months since Obama began actively campaigning for POTUS and saying what his intentions were.  That one just happened to be a current update regarding an ongoing situation.
