Today, there will be guest bloggers on RWN. They’ll be, Cassy Fiano Karol from Alarming News Amanda Carpenter Lorie Byrd from Wizbang Rob Bluey from Bluey Blog Moxie On Monday, there will be retro RWN posts.

Update #1: You know, I told you not long ago that Ron Paul’s support is all vapor and that the reason he has great numbers on the net is that he has a group supporters spamming (and sometimes using scripts) to bump his numbers up in poll after poll. Well, this poll provides hard proof […]

“I promised the President today that I wouldn’t say anything bad about … this piece of sh*t bill.” — John Boehner “Observing the Senate last week, and looking over the latest figures from the Census Bureau, America is now risking national suicide. Last week, senators meeting in secret produced a bill to legalize our 12 […]

Do you think Mitch McConnell and Trent Lott should resign their leadership positions in the Senate if the amnesty bill isn’t stopped? Yes No    Free polls from Pollhost.com

Britain is a fine nation, but they are also the world’s creepiest democracy. They have millions of cameras everywhere, watching their citizens’ every move, ostensibly so that they can stop crime. But, their legal system bends over backwards to protect criminals, which makes you wonder why they need the cameras. Well, now, they’re actually chipping […]

Who would have ever thought that the Silky Pony of all people doesn’t like gays, “Robert Shrum, the veteran Democratic strategist who worked on John Edwards’s 1998 Senate campaign in North Carolina, does not remember his onetime client very fondly. In his new memoir, “No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner,” Shrum recalls asking Edwards […]

Congressman Eric Cantor’s people have helped set up a No Amnesty Petition. It reads, “The rule of law is vital to the success and character of our nation. I strongly urge our nation’s leaders to oppose the Ted Kennedy Amnesty Bill currently being considered by the United States Senate. Almost two decades ago, amnesty was […]

I’m not a big fan of Mitt Romney because he has flip flopped on a lot of issues over his career and truthfully, it’s very difficult to know whether he’s taking a position because he believes it or because he thinks it will help him politically. (His immediate opposition to this amnesty bill, which in […]

As I was reading Robert Novak’s column last night, I ran across some political analysis that was so foolish, that it could only come from someone who has been stuck in the Beltway bubble so long that he doesn’t know which way is up anymore. Here’s Robert Novak’s advice for the GOP on the immigration […]

The amnesty bill in the Senate looks as if it’s going to be around a thousand pages, it didn’t go through normal channels in the Senate, and it was just recently released, so there are sure to be dozens of serious problems with it that either haven’t been discovered or widely publicized yet. Then, once […]

Yesterday, on Ed Morrissey’s internet radio show, he asked me what I would require to sign on to an immigration compromise. So, let’s talk about that a little bit: my ideal position would include cutting off federal funds to states with sanctuary cities, denying illegals any service in the US other than emergency medical care, […]

The press is, once again, deliberately trying to help America’s enemies and undermine the war on terror. This time, it’s Brian Ross and Richard Esposito over at ABC News, “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community […]

* My column at Townhall last week, Republicans Really Are the Stupid Party, made it into the top 10. It was in the 7 slot, just behind Pat Buchanan and Ann Coulter. That’s the 2nd week in a row I’ve made it into the top 10, but a third week in a row will probably […]

We have two polls from Rasmussen, the polling agency I consider to be the best in the business. The first covers George Bush’s approval rating since the immigration bill hit the news. It has already hit a new low, but guess what? It has gone even lower now and at this rate, he may be […]

I’ve been hearing a lot of people say that they think this immigration bill in the Senate is as good as dead because of all the furor over it. They may turn out to be right in the end, but let me warn you that the Republicans in the Senate are absolutely hellbent on self-destruction […]

Here’s how one-tier health care in Ontario can treat you: David Malleau awoke in hospital with a gaping hole in his skull. The 44-year-old Hamilton truck driver had suffered a devastating car accident in 2004 that forced doctors at Hamilton General Hospital to remove a fist-sized piece of bone from his skull to relieve pressure […]

The AFP has gone out to ask illegal aliens what they think of the new bill — which is an interesting concept in and of itself — asking criminals what they think of the new laws designed to deal with the problem they’re causing. What’s next? Will we be asking carjackers and drunk drivers what […]

Michelle Malkin caught the Associated Press putting a non-threatening title on a very disturbing story they titled, “Most U.S. Muslims reject suicide bombings.” Here are some of the scary stats in that article that come from a Pew Research poll, “One in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable […]

“But some of these employers, some of these big business types said yesterday “they’re unhappy with the result because it would not cure the severe labor shortages they foresee in the coming decade.” Labor shortages? If there are labor shortages, it means that salaries ought to be skyrocketing. Labor shortages? This is one of the […]

“It doesn’t make much difference anymore which party has the congressional majority. The Senate’s Water Resources Development bill, for instance, has 446 earmarks, the House version 692. (Earmarks are measures giving members of Congress exclusive control over the spending of federal tax dollars on a project they favor.) Those figures exceed the then-unprecedented total for […]

Lefty blogger Ezra Klein has been calling around to his contacts in the Senate and they’re telling him that this is the last, best chance for an amnesty bill to pass, “THE STATE OF PLAY ON IMMIGRATION. Spent some time Picking Up The Damn Phone this afternoon, and got a much better sense of the […]

Back in June of last year, I ran across someone called enchanted_whispering who was selling spells on eBay. Here are the “services” (Can casting imaginary spells for people who actually believe in witchcraft be considered a service?) she was offering, “WEALTH/MONEY ATTRACT THE ONE YOU LOVE BRING BACK (ENCOURAGE) A LOVERS RETURN WIN A JOB […]

The first vote, on the motion to proceed, has been cast. Those voting in favor of ending debate and moving on to consider a bill none of them have read voted “Y” and are “Villians”. Those voting against ending debate and preventing Amnesty from being shoved down the throat of the American public are “Heroes” […]

According to the Washington Times, a lot of senators, undoubtedly because they’re terrified of the reaction they’ve gotten from their constituents, are keeping their powder dry on this illegal immigration bill, “Fewer than 20 senators are publicly committed to supporting the immigration deal that hits the Senate floor today while nearly 40 are already opposed […]

Since 2005, conservatives have been loudly saying, secure the border, build the fence, crack down on the people hiring illegal aliens, and no amnesty. Because those conservatives have put the interests of the American people above those of illegal aliens, they’ve been ignored, insulted, and talked down to — not just by the Democrats, which […]

We’ve heard a whole lot about “jobs Americans won’t do.” But it turns out that when the illegal aliens are shipped out, those jobs aren’t as unfillable as the open borders crowd would have you believe, “Swift & Company today reported its return to standard staffing levels at all four domestic beef processing facilities after […]
