MSNBC – and I realize they’re not usually legit media – currently has an interesting online poll out asking whether or not the words “In God We Trust” should be removed from U.S. currency. As it stands, the large majority of respondents – 71% of them – believe that the motto should remain as it […]

Even the $zillionaire currency speculator George Soros has limits to his resources. That’s why his Shadow Party and it agents want to siphon fortunes from taxpayers to finance ultra-left projects. After all, our money is limitless — or at least, Democrats seem to think so. Michelle Malkin explains: Buried in the [Democrat Party platform] is […]

College presidents want the drinking age lowered. From the Wall Street Journal’s Scott Hensley: But now more than 100 college presidents and chancellors have signed a statement calling for politicians to consider lowering the drinking age in the face of widespread flouting of the law and a wave of dangerous binge drinking on campuses around […]

The Right Wing News Forum has now cracked the 200 member mark. The forum isn’t flying as fast as I’d like yet, but the traffic and number of posts are picking up. Feel free to join the forum and participate in the conversation.

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

My latest Pajama’s Media column is called Dear NBC Anchors: A Little Patriotism Wouldn’t Kill You….. Here’s and excerpt from the column, Being the typical American family — 2.1 kids, house in the burbs, yappy dog — the Olympic Games have been running in the background pretty much non-stop at our house. In the evening, […]

I’m a fan of Kathleen Parker’s work and enjoyed interviewing her, but I can’t say that I agree with her sentiments about Rick Warren’s Saddleback Forum, even though I’m sure that more than a few people reading RWN today share them, At the risk of heresy, let it be said that setting up the two […]

If you’re Barack Obama, you’ve got to be starting to sweat. According to Reuters/Zogby, John McCain has gone from 7 points behind you last month to 5 points ahead of you with likely voters. Worse yet, you’re at 41% in the polls, which may even be worse than it looks because of the Bradley Effect. […]

There is no higher morality than that decreed by the State. Therefore, if individuals are constrained by their own, lesser moralities from assisting in the State’s crusade to mainstream homosexual depravity, they must be compelled: California’s highest court has ruled that doctors in the US state cannot discriminate against gay patients on the basis of […]

As it turns out, the Saddleback Forum may turn out to be one of the most significant events in this election season: He clashed with their leaders in his 2000 campaign. He struggled to gain their votes during the 2008 primaries. And he still doesn’t spend much time talking about the issues they consider most […]

Forget the breakfast of Champions, Michael Phelps, by choosing to hawk Frosted Flakes, promotes the triumph of capitalism. Endorsements….they’re GRRRRRREAT! Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, I’m happy for Phelps and hope he makes a gazillion dollars. But some people are clucking about Phelps’ choice: You better eat your . . . […]

Jennifer Lopez for allegedly saying that she, “couldn’t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer,” according to a GMA source. “She couldn’t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps’ name, and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how […]

Over at the Wall Street Journal, Soviet foreign minister Sergey Lavrov writes, However, it must be remembered that, as between any other major world powers, our bilateral relationship can only advance upon the basis of reciprocity. And that is exactly what has been missing over the past 16 years. I meant precisely that when I […]

The campaign of Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate, resorted to the courts to try to get admitted to the Saddleback Forum. So the Libertarians think that the federal courts should tell a private church and pastor whom they can invite to a political discussion. And I’m sure they’ll be trying the same thing when it […]

David Gergen, of all people, notes one of the outcomes from Saddleback which have to have the Obama campaign concerned: Heading into the candidates’ appearances on Saturday night at Saddleback Church, the conventional wisdom in politics was Barack Obama should have a clear upper hand in any joint appearance with John McCain — one the […]

Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers don’t lie still and stay dead, why should Shrillary? WND quotes Washington Examiner political columnist Tony Campbell: I talked to a Clinton delegate here in Maryland. He told me they have been instructed to vote for Hillary (for president) on the first ballot. To make things more interesting, there is […]

I read this article and had to share it. The political incorrectness is delicious: The mayor of an Australian outback mining town has come under fire for urging unattractive women to move in, assuring them they will find a man because there is a shortage of women. John Moloney, mayor of Mount Isa in northwestern […]

You know what the best liberal blog on the net is? No, it’s not the Daily Kos. The HuffPo? Not even close. How about Firedoglake? It’s not in the same ballpark. It’s actually Roseanne Barr’s blog. Why is it so great? Well, picture Kos sitting down to write for a couple of hours, but getting […]

According to the Politico, McCain is going to announce his Veep pick on August 29th, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) plans to celebrate his 72nd birthday on Aug. 29 by naming his running mate at a huge rally in the battleground state of Ohio, Republican sources said. That’s a week from Friday, and the day after […]

At last a little truth in advertising from the Dems. Check out this ticket design for the Democrat National Convention: As you can see, the Obamessiah appears to be wrapped in an inverted American flag. Moonbats are fond of hanging Old Glory upside down to display their contempt for it, though according to flag etiquette, […]

There hasn’t been a lot of footage from the Saddleback forum out there, partially because McCain beat Obama’s brains in, which the media isn’t going to want to cover and partially because a lot of the best parts didn’t break easily down into soundbites. However, there is one moment from the event that I wanted […]

Despite the fact that Barry is getting even more fawning coverage from the mainstream press than usual, is raking in the money, has more enthusiastic voters, and has the political winds at his back, he’s essentially tied with John McCain right now. Take a look at the latest numbers from Real Clear Politics and you’ll […]

Michele Catalano wandered into a — I don’t know exactly how to describe it, other than a “man hating store” — and had a visceral, negative reaction to the experience, I don’t understand women who go out of their way to express their hatred of men. I have two ex husbands and I’m not anywhere […]

(Chiquimula, Guatemala) A local radio station is currently airing the following ad: “We offer trips to the north, in quality buses, and it is only necessary to walk one hour at the border with Mexico. We take you only if you have relatives in the U.S., but we guarantee your arrival.” The people traffickers then […]

How dare we judge a woman who has had 9 children by five men, who lives on welfare, takes the kids to some 3rd world country, leaves one 15 year old daughter in the care of an old guy and the daughter winds up dead? In an article about how bad it is to be […]

With the wheels coming loose on the global warming hoax, it’s time for the Left to start hyping the next phony crisis. It shouldn’t be hard to find something scarier than warm weather. The Guardian‘s Peter Tatchell is floating oxygen depletion: Compared to prehistoric times, the level of oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere has declined […]

Note: For the record, I wrote this post before reading VanHelsing’s about Ellen and Portia’s “marriage”. It can be called a legal union, I suppose, but marriage is, by definition between a man and a woman. A union between three people, a person and a dog, a person and an inanimate object, etc. is not […]

One of the questions I’ve been asking since the Russian invasion of Georgia is how the necessary buildup and staging of troops by Russia could have been missed by Georgia. As I’ve noted before, unless troops are prepared and staged to go on order, an army cannot react in the time the Russians did. That […]
