Harry Reid in an interview with the Detroit Free Press: Q: With more Democrats in the Senate and the House and a Democrat in the White House, how do you see congressional efforts playing out on such issues as health care and immigration? A: On immigration, there’s been an agreement between (President-elect Barack) Obama and […]

On this week’s edition of Right Wing News Radio at Blogtalkradio, I talk about why this is the last edition of Right Wing News radio, conservatives vs. moderates, bailout fevah, and the future of the blogosphere. Don’t miss it. Head on over tonight at 8 PM EST and tune in.

Moonbats can do anything normal people can do, even run businesses. They just can’t do it competently. A shop that lets you pay what [you] want is becoming another casualty of the sagging economy. Come Thanksgiving, the OpShOp on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill will close its doors. “I ask people when they pay to pay […]

The taxpayers’ pound sterling at work in dhimmified Britainistan: Muslim prisoners at a maximum security jail were treated to £3,500 of takeaway curries to mark a religious festival. Some 200 inmates at Whitemoor prison near March in Cambridgeshire had meals worth around £18 each after complaining about the quality of jail food. The prison’s population […]

Thanksgiving brings out the ggrrrrrrrrrrrril in me. I need to gear up for Thanksgiving. Here’s the menu and what I’m responsible for: Two turkeys (one big one dries out, I’ll cook one today ahead of time to make gravy and flavor the stuffing) Mashed Potatoes (using the recipe, again, ahead of time, given to me […]

Citigroup is “a Big Government lovers’ bank that funds just about every trendy left-wing cause in America,” says Matthew Vadum: Long before it started drowning in red ink, the poster child for so-called corporate social responsibility was a longtime donor to left-wing pressure groups such as Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Henry Paulson’s Nature Conservancy. […]

“Washington is a city that glories in Wall Street’s misfortunes. …On Wall Street, financial crisis destroys jobs. Here in Washington, it creates them. The rest is just details.” — Timothy Noah

Via the Scotsman, THOUSANDS of Icelanders have demonstrated in Reykjavik to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Geir Haarde and Central Bank governor David Oddsson, for failing to stop the country’s financial meltdown. It was the latest in a series of protests in the capital since October’s banking collapse crippled the island’s economy. At least […]

Over at the Wall Street Journal, Brett Stephens asks a relevant question, “Why Don’t We Hang Pirates Anymore?” It’s a safe bet, dear reader, that the title of this column has caused you to either (a) roll your eyes and wonder, What century do you think we’re living in? or (b) scratch your head and […]

The words “too big to fail” are often bandied about these days as an excuse to use billions more of our tax dollars to bail out yet another company. It seems to me that if a company is “too big to fail,” then perhaps it should be treated as a monopoly and broken up into […]

Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” The corollary to that statement here in the United States could be, “All that was necessary for the Democrats to triumph was for conservatives to do nothing.” It’s fashionable to blame George W. Bush, the Republicans […]

Fifty dollar a barrel oil certainly isn’t helping the situation: The fall in oil prices from $147 this July to below $50 today has blown a gaping hole in the government’s budget calculations. It is now facing a $150bn shortfall in its spending plans – and will have to slash expenditure in 2009. Today Putin […]

Top Obama donation bundler Jodie Evans has been in Iran with her Code Pinko cohorts, denouncing America to the terrorist regime and having a high old time. Here she is with Medea Benjamin and fellow treasonous kook Ann Wright: Not everyone was pleased to hear the Code Pinkos chirp about their exploits on their blog. […]

New York City offers a preview of the sort of public monuments we can expect to pay for now that the Executive and Legislative branches have fallen to left-wing extremists. In Central Park, at 5th Avenue and 60th Street, stands a statue of Che Guevara, the communist executioner who planned terrorist attacks against the citizens […]

The U.S. government is prepared to lend more than $7.4 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers, or half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, to rescue the financial system since the credit markets seized up 15 months ago. …The worst financial crisis in two generations has erased $23 trillion, or 38 […]

Noted anti-Semitic lunatic, Louis Farrakhan had some kind words for Barack Obama and his former spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday called President-elect Barack Obama “America’s blessing,” and said he believes Obama’s election came about by intervention from God. …”Barack Obama has lifted all of us. We can never […]

During tough economic times, when Americans are struggling, it makes even less sense than normal to cater to illegal immigrants who take jobs from American workers, drive down wages, and soak up government services via the children whom they have on American soil. That being said, the way the Bush Administration has handled immigrant widows […]

My latest Pajama’s Media article is up over there and I hope you’ll read it. It’s nothing you’ve read here or elsewhere…yet. Fresh new content. The environmental movement is outrageous for a simple reason: it is discriminatory. That’s right. In order to be fully immersed in it, you have to have the money to do […]

I have an idea for the bailouts: forget the big companies, bailout the taxpayer, specifically, bailout the student loan holder. Hear me out. This is a good idea. People with student loans went to college. Most likely, they’re working–working their butts off to pay for student loans. These are people who buy homes, invest in […]

Unsurprisingly, since Obama has been elected, the Klan and other hate groups have been more active, Barely three weeks since America elected its first black president, noose hangings, racist graffiti and death threats have struck dozens of towns across the country.

Instapundit: THOUGHTS ON gay rights and the G.O.P.’s future: “It’s not that we’re likely to crack more than 35% of the gay vote (well, maybe 40%). But, to win back the suburbs, Republicans can’t alienate suburbanites. And anti-gay attitudes don’t resonate with families who have known gay people in college -and maybe even in the […]

New satellite data: A new satellite predicts at least 23 years of global cooling Several Canadian environmental scientists agree that the new Jason satellite indicates at least a 23-year cycle of global cooling ahead.

It is one thing to be a “moderate” in New Jersey and have debates about the issues and why one side believes one thing and why the other side sees things differently. But to have a sitting Assemblyman like Jon Bramnick make comments about those he doesn’t share the same position on the issues with […]

Pace Emmett Tyrell, now is the conservative crackup. Melissa Clouthier is right: You really have to take a few minutes to watch this, the whole thing, to get a sense of where we aren’t going, and how we aren’t getting there. I don’t know what to make of it. First of all it’s hardly clear […]

I wrote briefly on Friday about the decision of an elementary school’s students to rename their school “Barack Obama Elementary.” Little did I know that the renaming of this school was only the tip of the iceberg: (CBS/AP) A school on Long Island has been renamed Barack Obama Elementary School in honor of his historic […]
