For January 7, 2014

1.  I’m in for $100. What About You?
I’ll put my money where my mouth is. I’m in for $100.00 for Nikki Haley’s campaign. Guys, this is more about us than anyone else. Are we willing to support the candidates who support us?


The left will pour money into the campaigns of incumbents and new people who are pledged to fight for them. But will we? Most people don’t think we will.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post

2.  Peter King Raised Money for Terrorists While They Were Murdering American Allies
The sick and tragic irony is that the GOP put in charge of the Committee on Homeland Security a man who raised money for a terrorist organization while that organization was murdering American allies. That’s right. While the IRA was running terror operations throughout Ireland and Britain, Peter King was a huge supporter. King was even thrown out of a Northern Ireland courtroom during a trial because the judge determined he was an IRA collaborator.

And that guy is now the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

3.  The Coming Amnesty Offensive and the Need to Clean House
House GOP leaders have made it crystal clear that it is their intention to pass an amnesty bill based upon every liberal premise of the immigration issue.  The only question is timing. Conservatives must sound the alarm and acknowledge that engaging in the upcoming primaries is the only way to preempt Obamacare 2.0 in the lame duck years of Obama’s tenure.

When talking with many grassroots activists throughout the country this primary cycle, it seems that many conservatives are fooled by the false sense of security that a GOP-controlled House would never pass amnesty.  After all, why would Republicans reward a lawbreaker – a president who has ostensibly placed a moratorium on border security and immigration enforcement – with the biggest political victory of his second term? . . . please click here for the rest of the post

4.  Alan Grayson (D, FL), Barbara Lee (D, CA), & Jan Schakowsky (D, IL) tried to consult with terrorist-led group on drone strikes.
"Mohammad Al Ahmady, the Yemen director for Geneva-based NGO Al Karama, was expected to brief Reps. Alan Grayson (D., Fla.), Barbara Lee (D., Calif.), and Jan Schakowsky (D., Ill.) the morning of the Nov. 19, according to press release from Grayson’s office." . . . please click here for the rest of the post

5.  Puncturing our health care illusions
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has been trying to play along with ObamaCare.  Alas, his son drew the “Go Directly to Medicaid Jail” card, inexplicably diverted into that mournful welfare program by the supposedly exceptional Kentucky exchange system.  Granted, “exceptional” status is a pretty low bar to clear when it comes to ObamaCare exchanges, but Kentucky was supposed to have one of the better ones… and it just won’t let Senator Paul’s son buy an insurance plan.  At one point, he had to march down to the local offices and prove he existed.  Beating any meaningful information out of the online system has proven to be quite a chore.  And it looks like a chore not many people are interested in undertaking, because only about 26,000 people have signed up for plans in the state so far. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
