Asian-bashing Dems and the doormat minorities who enable them by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2014 Harry Reid is a bigoted Beltway corruptocrat with an interminable case of diarrhea of the mouth.

Jaczko the Jerk: Harry Reid's sexist crony gets the boot by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 The embattled chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission resigned this week.

Allen Stanford, now on trial for allegedly masterminding... Read More

Obama wanted a vote on the jobs bill NOW. The Senate GOP minority moved for an immediate up-or-down vote tonight. Harry Reid, knowing defeat was imminent and that some Senate Democrats were balking at the bill, jumped up and down like Rumpelstiltskin before Mitch McConnell moved to a procedural vote. The Reid bill included a... Read More

Hey, President Obama? How about another press conference tomorrow to condemn those playing politics, putting partisanship over country, changing the rules, and playing games with your jobs bill? No, not Mitch McConnell and the Republicans. Dirty Harry Reid and the Democrats. Here's a link round-up of all the shenanigans tonight. The GOP brought a knife... Read More

Scroll for updates...and contemplate this astounding fact: "For the first time in the history of the modern budget process, this Congress failed to even vote on a budget for next year."

Harry "Who's the loser now?" Reid had quite the week. His DREAM Act illegal alien bailout was put on ice; his DADT deal went up in flames. Tonight,he announced that the cloture vote on the tax deal has been scheduled for Monday at 3pm Eastern. He still intends to cram shamnesty into the lame-duck session... Read More

The open-borders lobby went all in for Barack Obama, who promised them "comprehensive immigration reform" -- translation: blanket amnesty -- and failed to deliver. Then they went all in for Harry Reid (reminder: Harry Reid’s non-English-speaking voting bloc). And now, the OBL expects "payback." Roll Call reports: That proposal, of course, is the illegal alien... Read More

Nothing smells right about Harry Reid. His re-election on Tuesday has deepened the stench. Theories are flying left and right to explain the failure of polls that had consistently showed Sharron Angle ahead. The New York Times points to Latinos as Reid's hidden salvation. And not just any Latinos. It was apparently Latinos who prefer... Read More

Soon-to-be lame duck Harry Reid is promising yet another vote on the perpetually rejected DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout. Univision host Jorge Ramos crowed about it on his Twitter page, promoting an interview with Reid scheduled to air this Sunday. The Huffington Post confirmed: Don't forget: A critical number of

In style and substance, Lady in Red Sharron Angle trounced the four-term Democrat Senate incumbent and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at tonight's Las Vegas debate. He preposterously called George W. Bush "his friend" (after infamously branding him a "loser"), claimed credit for the surge in Iraq (after questioning General Petraeus's competence and character), and... Read More

Thanks to all of you who helped with Operation Buck Up Maine and phoned Sens. Snowe and Collins to hold the line against the special interest, speech-squelching DISCLOSE Act. The Senate is now voting on the do-over cloture motion. (It failed to muster 60 votes in July. Cloture vote 57-41.) GOP Leader McConnell assailed the... Read More

They won't take no for an answer. So we have to give them both barrels again. On July 27, the Senate voted down the Democrats' union-friendly, loophole-ridden, Orwellian-titled DISCLOSE Act. The bogus campaign finance reform bill was, as Sen. Mitch McConnell put it, a “transparent attempt to rig fall elections" that was written “behind closed... Read More

The open-borders lobby is out in full force, launching a week-long campaign yesterday to pass another illegal alien amnesty-by-another-name. DREAM Act activists and Hispanic lawmakers strategized with President Obama at the White House. The "undocumented students action and resource network" has been activated. How about you? Keep track of where your lawmakers stand at NumbersUSA.... Read More

I've been covering the bipartisan open-borders push for the illegal alien DREAM Act since 2004. Quick legislative recap: Senate Republicans beat back the attempt to give special in-state college tuition preference to illegal aliens in 2007. It fell eight votes short of cloture in 2008 and was reintroduced in the House in 2009 to no... Read More

When Dingy Harry last opened his mouth to spout off about race, he was blabbing to left-leaning journalist/authors about Obama's "light skin" and lack of a "Negro dialect." Masochistic minority Democrats rallied around Reid at a dog-and-pony rally, though at least one person spoke truth to power. Flashback: Harry didn't listen. His latest racially/ethnically divisive...

Photoshop: Leo Alberti Some cold water thrown on the cramdown, ram-through, promise-we'll-amend-it-later plans of the Democrat ruling majority. Curses, foiled again: The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that President Barack Obama must sign Congress’ original health care reform bill before the Senate can act on a companion reconciliation package, senior GOP sources said Thursday. The Senate... Read More

Scroll for updates... Ew. As I mentioned this afternoon, Democrat Rep. Eric Massa owes much of his career and political success to anti-war nutball Gen. Wesley Clark. Massa served under Clark and worked on Clark's doomed presidential campaign. Clark provided the cash-strapped Massa critical PAC support, nutroots help, and funding for Massa's congressional bid. Gen.... Read More

This is what desperation looks like, via the Washington Times: A bipartisan group of senators forged agreement on a jobs bill that drew the White House's blessing Thursday - but hours later Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scuttled the deal and replaced it with his own Democrat-written measure. Scrambling to show Democrats are taking action... Read More

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a "new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants"...before pushing cap and trade. The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie. It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in... Read More

Obama was supposed to set a "new tone" in Washington tonight. Don't think he meant the tone to sound like snoring. Janet Napolitano should have brought her Snuggie to the State of the Union Address. Here she is putting the "nap" in Napolitano: (hat tip: Cristy Li) Harry Reid forgot to drink his Red Bull,... Read More
