Did Hollywood Today Plagiarize American Power on Tareq Salahi’s Palestinian Ties?

Look, the New York Times first broke the news that Tareq Salahi, the White House gate-crasher now under investigation for the massive state dinner security breach, had ties to Palestinian rights organization, ATFP. After I saw that, I looked into it, and published my report, “Tareq Salahi, Gate-Crasher at White House State Dinner, Tied to […]

 

Sarah Palin More Popular With Liberals Than Conservatives. No Joke.

No, this is not meant to be a joke. Perhaps obsessed should replace popular in the title. Part of my job is to scour the web and to see what people are talking about. While I was browsing Democratic Underground today (extremely liberal forum,) I realized these people are obsessed with Palin. I do not […]

 

Black Friday Launches Amid Consumer Retreat: Green Groups Seek to Shut Down Shopping; Wall Street Eyes Markets!

My wife and oldest boy went shopping at midnight last night. It turns out the much heralded “Black Friday” launch of the holiday shopping season kicked off at midnight Friday morning at Wal-Mart stores around the country. (Wal-Mart stores actually stayed open 24-hours, kind of like a preemptive strike against other merchants. Not far behind, […]

 

Why is “Climategate” Getting Little to no Coverage?

In 2008 Dr. Roy Spencer wrote a book entitled “Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor.” Dr. Roy Spencer is the former Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. In this book he argues that the programs congress creates […]

 

Another Obama Gitmo Official Resigns in Obama Smoke Screen Effort

Earlier this month President Obama fired Greg Craig, his main counsel on matters concerning the Guantanamo Bay Facility — unless, of course, you really believe the claim that Craig resigned. And this week Obama sheds another one of his GITMO team with the resignation of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense for Detainee Policy Phillip Carter. […]

 

Science Czar John Holdren Involved in ClimateGate

By now you don’t have to be a cynic not to be surprised that Chairman Zero’s Science Czar John Holdren — a totalitarian leftist who believes in forced abortion and has suggested putting sterilants in our drinking water — is implicated in ClimateGate, which has revealed the global warming crisis to be not only a […]

 

Brazil’s da Silva Demands Free Money From “Gringos”

The “make someone else pay for all the things I want” mentality that characterizes the base of our Community Organizer in Chief seems to have taken root in Brazil, where moonbat president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has announced that “gringos” should give South Americans free money in the name of the discredited global warming […]

 

Today’s Girly Man Whine Courtesy Of E.J. Dionne, Jr.

If it’s Thanksgiving, must be just another day to whine about how meanly Barry Obama is being treated It’s now official: So in vogue are attacks on President Obama that even his proclamation calling the nation to a day of Thanksgiving has become the focus of criticism. Presidential Thanksgiving messages are a routine bit of […]

 


Palin / Bachman To Headline National Tea Party Event

Hmm. CNN claims to have confirmed Sarah Palin’s role as keynote for a Nashville-based Tea Party event in February. The conference is: being dubbed the first National Tea Party event. Formally speaking, perhaps. Though I suspect many who went to Washington’s protest: might disagree. But this is being called a convention. Very interesting as they are both […]

 


Flashback: President Lincoln Establishes Thanksgiving as a National Holiday

It seems like more and more often, the true meaning of our national holidays are lost in an increasingly secularized liberal society. As my co-blogger, Gina Diorio, points out here, even our President doesn’t really “get” what Thanksgiving is about. As a reminder, perhaps we should all take a moment to recall an event that […]

Global Warming… is Dead. Soon to Follow: Mainstream Media

“The lack of media attention to this so called “climategate” is unbelievable. I do not even know if we can even call it “climategate”, as nobody seems to acknowledge that it has happened. Of course Fox News has brought it up, as well as numerous talk show hosts but, there has been no trace of […]

 


Warmists Caught Fudging Data in New Zealand

Global warming is manmade, all right. It’s made by men in lab coats who angle for government grants by fudging the data. Right on the heels of ClimateGate we have this news from New Zealand: The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show […]

 

Great News! President Obama and Prime Minister Singh Were ‘Never in Any Danger’ – Yeah, Lucky Tareq and Michaele Salahi Weren’t Jihadis!

You can’t have a bigger security breach, and if this were a Republican White House the press would be hammering the administration for it’s near-catastrophic security lapse, but there’s almost a breathless fawning over Michaele and Tareq Salahi, who crashed the White House state dinner on Tuesday night. See the New York Times, “At the […]

 

Oops! Now New Zealand NIWA Accused Of Faking Data

From Anthony Watts through a report from the Climate Science Coalition of New Zealand, we find some more climate alarmist chicanery The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there. The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide […]

 



PETA Speech: I Think Liberal Networks Should Air Liberal Ads

Really, now. Why hide from this: The ad wraps up the left’s disgust with America. Crappy tradition, crappy white family, crappy Thanksgiving, hypocritical Christians, and of course, animal-hatred. Basically the ad captures everything they hate about America in one ad. It’s fabulous! Let America know. Be overt! Don’t be shy! And some libs agree: PETA […]

 

Stimulus Stimulated Much of Nothing in Illinois

The Chicago Tribune has an interesting story that shows that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus really didn’t do much by way of creating any new jobs in Illinois. Though Obama is counting “jobs saved” as some sort of success story, the fact is few jobs have been created and nothing will be sustainable after the stimulus […]

 

What Would Barack Obama’s Approval Rating Look Like Today If He Had Done This?

Imagine this scenario. Barack Obama is elected President and he actually decides to pursue a center-left agenda and work with Republicans. * He crafts a stimulus package, smaller than the one he has now, but with more tax cuts and all the spending front loaded to 2009. It passes with a significant number of Republican […]

 

Hey, Matthew Yglesias, Why Don’t You Quit And Let A Minority Have Your Job?

Rather bizarrely, after noting that Obama is much more popular with minorities than white people, Matthew Yglesias wrote the following: About 50 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance, but he’s overwhelmingly liked among non-white Americans and quite widely disliked by white Americans. Our punditry, however, is done almost exclusively by white people and […]

 

Obama’s Servile Bowing Has Gone Too Far

I’m not exactly sure how it is that a man as arrogant as Barack Obama here in the United States, can go overseas and turn into Waylon Smithers with all this bowing. Perhaps he doesn’t realize how repulsive it is to other Americans because he spent so much time overseas and doesn’t fully understand American […]

 

Dopes’ Hope Is Fading Fast

How quickly fashion changes. Less than a year into our first Affirmative Action presidency, here’s the new look: Shirts unflattering toward the Moonbat Messiah are hardly a novelty among patriots, but the FreshJive design above is a product of the Left, which is starting to understand the implications of having placed a naked emperor on […]

 

George Moonbat, Tim Flannery Rattled by ClimateGate

Even George Monbiot — the kook whose name may have given us the term “moonbat” — understands that ClimateGate is a big deal that cannot be ignored: It’s no use pretending this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely […]

 

Jobs And Landmines Plus Open Thread

I couldn’t decide which story I liked better, so, how about both, starting with George W. Obama and landmines? The Obama administration has decided not to sign an international convention banning land mines. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Tuesday that the administration recently completed a review and decided not to change the Bush-era policy. […]

 

Best Buy Ditches ‘Christmas’ But Celebrates Muslim Holiday in Fliers

Christmas. Who needs it? Not Best Buy, that’s for sure. After all, Best Buy is loathe to use that hateful word in its advertising. It’s so “religious” and tinged with racism, America, and tradition. It makes Best Buy shudder to think of using that foul word, Christmas. But, advertising for the Muslim holiday of Eid […]

 

Woah! AP Prints Reality About Point Of Copenhagen AGW Nuttiness

Someone was seriously drunk at the Associated Press to allow this bit of reality leak into the narrative Next month’s climate summit in Copenhagen seeks to transform the way we run the planet, from the generation of energy, to the building of homes and cities, to the shaping of the landscape. It would also shift […]
