Cantor predicts GOP takeover of House By Michael O'Brien - 07/12/10 10:16 AM ET Republicans will win back a majority of seats in this fall's election, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) predicted 16 weeks before Election Day. Cantor, the second-ranking House Republican, said he expected his party to win enough seats in this November's midterm elections to take over control of the House next year. "I think we retake the House, as Mr. Gibbs suggested yesterday from the White House," Cantor said during an appearance on CNBC. "That will change the dynamic, for sure." White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Sunday said that Republicans were within ...

The Democrats worst nightmare if the GOP takes over the House? Investigations Ed Lasky If the Democrats lose the House, they may very well lose not just that sword but also the shield that has prevented inquiring Congressmen from investigating the shenanigans of the Obama administration and its minions in Congress. From the Washington Post: If there's one congressional aide White House officials might wind up fearing most, it's Larry Brady. He's all but unknown, but Brady is the secret weapon for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). As minority staff director of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Brady stands ready to wield almighty subpoena power if Republicans ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A tough-talking, muscular Los Angeles police sergeant steadily rattled off tips to a young Marine riding shotgun as they raced in a patrol car to a drug bust: Be aware of your surroundings. Watch people's body language. Build rapport. Marine Lt. Andrew Abbott, 23, took it all in as he peered out at the graffiti-covered buildings, knowing that the lessons he learned recently in one of the city's toughest neighborhoods could help him soon in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan. "People are the center of gravity and if you do everything you can to protect them, then they'll protect you," he said. "That's something true here and pretty ...

KABUL, Afghanistan — A wave of attacks killed six U.S. troops and at least a dozen civilians Saturday in Afghanistan's volatile south and east, as American reinforcements moving into Taliban-dominated areas face up to the fierce resistance they expected. Increased U.S.-led military operations in the southern province of Kandahar are aimed at trying to break the Taliban's grip where they are strongest by delivering security and government services to win over Afghan people. The hope is that once the tide begins to turn, more control can be handed to Afghan forces without fear that the Taliban might again seize power, bring back its harsh interpretation of Islamic law and ...

During the Wednesday White house press conference, a reporter from CNS News wanted Gibbs to respond to a question about whether Obama was really confident about Berwick given some of his comments. Berwick said in a speech delivered on July ...

"The entire department is saddened beyond belief," Weis said hours after Bryant Brewer, 24, was charged. "The entire city should be enraged."

After issuing a new policy enforcing more discipline over military interaction with the media, Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday named to lead U.S. Central Command a general who in 2005 was rebuked for saying "it's fun to shoot some people." Gates recommended Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis for the job left by Gen. David Petraeus, who assumed command in Afghanistan over the weekend. Petraeus was transferred after Gen. Stanley McChrystal was forced to resign following the publication of a magazine article in which he and his aides were critical of civilian officials. After the incident, Gates issued an updated media policy reining in interaction with the press. But as ...

Results not matching Obama rhetoric Comments July 9, 2010 BY STEVE HUNTLEY President Obama likes giving speeches, and he's made so many that he has laid down a substantial record of addresses, orations, talks, pronouncements and remarks on which to judge his policies in the White House. There's plenty there to give heartburn to his supporters. As a candidate, Obama promised to protect the environment, get tough with the oil industry and let science guide the decisions of his administration. It turns out all that went out the window last year when a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., blocked drilling in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico on grounds the government had not ...

The Government's Catastrophic Response to the Oil Disaster Washington's reaction is causing greater damage than the event itself. Jon Basil Utley | July 9, 2010 Incompetence has turned the Gulf oil tragedy into “Obama’s Katrina.” As more and more startling facts emerge we are finding almost criminal ineptness by Washington compounded by BP’s almost criminal negligence. As with many crises, Washington’s reactions cause greater damage than the event itself. Yet lurking in the mess are the extreme environmentalists staffing the Obama Administration with their declared agenda of shutting down all offshore oil drilling. The Sierra Club has bragged about how it ...

Are Overdue Reports Concealing ObamaCare Impact On Medicare? By PETER FERRARA Posted 07/06/2010 06:04 PM ET Every year, the Annual Report of the Social Security Board of Trustees comes out between mid-April and mid-May. Now it's July, and there's no sign of this year's report. What is the Obama administration hiding? The annual report includes detailed information about Social Security and its financing over the next 75 years, produced by the Office of the Actuary of the Social Security Administration. The Congressional Budget Office reported last week in its Long Term Budget Outlook that Social Security was already running a deficit this year. According to last year's ...

The Obama-Pelosi Lame Duck Strategy Union 'card-check,' cap and trade, and so much more. By JOHN FUND Democratic House members are so worried about the fall elections they're leaving Washington on July 30, a full week earlier than normal—and they won't return until mid-September. Members gulped when National Journal's Charlie Cook, the Beltway's leading political handicapper, predicted last month "the House is gone," meaning a GOP takeover. He thinks Democrats will hold the Senate, but with a significantly reduced majority. The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That's why there have been signs in recent weeks ...

Stay Home, Joe Biden by Jeff Crouere 07/09/2010 Vice President Joe Biden brought his usual mix of foolish bravado and inappropriate humor during a trip last week to the Gulf. His visit amounted to nothing of substance for the people of Louisiana and required the diversion of resources from vital clean-up efforts. Biden used his short visit to appear on camera with other politicians and eat seafood. Amazingly, Biden refused to meet with Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser and only gave this local leader 30 seconds of his time. Biden used the visit for politics and public relations, instead of an opportunity to address the mess created by the federal government. Biden ...

Revealing polling data about which the White House cares little July 8, 2010 Posted by Paul at 12:24 PM Rasmussen has data on what voters think about the federal government's suit against Arizona, which seeks to invalidate that state's new immigration enforcement law. By a 2 to 1 ratio (56 percent to 28 percent), those surveyed oppose that suit. Moreover, 61 percent would like to see a law such as Arizona's enacted in their state. That's up 6 points from two months ago. Some have said that the lawsuit is smart politics by the Obama administration, even in the short-term, because those who care most about the issue (i.e., Hispanics) will receive extra motivation to support ...

"The only thing I'm seeking is the truth and [Steele] blurted out the truth and I think he was speaking from his heart and what he really believed in," Paul told host John Dickerson. Paul also saw eye-to-eye with Steele's characterization of Afghanistan as "Obama's War", even though it began 6 years before Mr. Obama took office. According to Paul, ...

As Steve Krakauer notes, this week is the New Black Panthers’ regularly scheduled moment in the sun. The organization has been trotted out by the right several times, always with a seemingly common objective: to create a creeping Black Menace, and conflate it with Barack Obama’s America. Bill O’Reilly and Andrew Breitbart have been promoting a very disturbing clip of King Samir Shabazz, the man charged with wielding a nightstick at a Philadelphia polling place, advocating the killing of white babies. In part 2 of my interview with NBPP Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, he gives a nearly-as-disturbing explanation, while also correcting the record. Both Breitbart and O’Reilly ...

Think again. In testimony this week before Congress, former Justice Department Official J.

Why Obama Is Emotionally Detached Daniel Freedman, 07.08.10, 10:00 AM EDT The solution to the president's problems is in the library. Russian spies, BP, General McChrystal, health care, Goldman Sachs, unemployment, the deficit, Iran, North Korea, Israel, Turkey, homegrown terrorism and a corresponding fall in popularity--it's been a tough couple of months for President Barack Obama. On top of that pundits from all sides--ranging from The New York Times' Maureen Dowd to The Wall Street Journal's Dorothy Rabinowitz--are now accusing him of being emotionally detached from the nation's problems. While all this may seem insurmountable--especially to Democrats readying ...
