It's Time to Galvanize

Dana Loesch, formerly a staunch non-Romney, reminds conservatives why they must now rally around Romney to beat Barack Obama.

The Obama White House Pays Women Considerably Less Than Men.

Obama likes to present himself as a champion a female equality while, absurdly, claiming that Republicans are waging a "war against women."  Nevertheless, "[a]ccording to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000)."

America's Federal Debt Greater than the Entire Eurozone's and U.K.'s Combined Debt.

Super.  Well, at least we have a President prepared to put forth a credible plan to tackle this impending debt crisis . . . oh right.

Why Obama Will Not Be Running On His Record

Hat Tip to The Gateway Pundit.

It's All But Official - It's Romney

Santorum is out.  He was never my candidate, but I wish all the best to him, his family, and his daughter, Bella.

Voter Fraud Investigation: Young Man Offered to Vote With Holder's Ballot

James O'Keefe's Project Veritas continues.  Breitbart.com reports that O'Keefe:

demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws--by walking into Holder’s voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder’s primary ballot. Literally.

The video shows a young man entering a Washington, DC polling place at 3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, on primary day of this year--April 3, 2012--and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot to vote.

The young man then suggests that he should show his ID; the poll worker, in compliance with DC law, states: “You don’t need it. It’s all right. As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.”

More here on why we need voter ID laws now.

Promises Kept: Energy Prices

Barack Obama - January 2008:  “Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

Happy Easter Everyone!

The Latest Jobs Numbers

Stephen Green takes a look at yesterday's jobs numbers and the news is not good:

The big number, 8.2% unemployment, is down one-tenth of one percent from last month, on 120,000 net new jobs. But 120,000 is only just barely enough to keep up with population growth, because that’s about how many people should enter the labor force each month, every month, the whole year round. But even more people — 164,000 — simply gave up, stopped looking for work, and are no longer any concern of the BLS. The experts had predicted jobs growth of anywhere from 200,000 to 250,000.

ASIDE: We need to net about 1.5 million jobs a year just to stay even with our growing population. We’ve netted about 2.5 million in the almost three years since the Great Recession ended. So we’re almost two million jobs short of nothing more than treading water. Yeah, that’s bad.

Checks and Balances

In light of our President's recent questioning of the Supreme Court's authority to rule against Obamacare, the Volokh Conspiracy has invited Clark Neily to guest blog about the concepts of judicial activism, deference, and engagement.  The key takeaway:  "President Obama overlook[s] a simple insight at the very core of the Constitution: Power is dangerous, and it must be checked. The Framers of the Constitution understood that, and we must as well if America is to remain a free country in anything but name."
