There’s a first time for everything — except when it comes to firing lazy guards who let murderers escape: The guard who failed to stop the escape of murderer Malcolm Kysor has been reinstated to his job at the state prison at Albion [Pennsylvania]. The guard, Bryan Ruf, a sergeant and a member of the […]

More government is intrinsically bad. With every law that passes, petty tyrant bureaucrats become a little more powerful, and the rest of us have a little less air to breathe. As an example of how awful it’s gotten already, a bait shop in Clearwater, Florida has been fined for painting this tasteful mural on its […]

Sometimes, a reader expresses things so beautifully, I feel compelled to share: I’m sixty-four, long-married, retired, and heartsick about my adopted country. I came from England as a boy. If I hadn’t been brought here by my American flyboy old man and my Brit mum I would have come over eventually anyway, I’m certain. As […]

Over at Big Hollywood, John Nolte wrote a piece called, Top 5: Superhero Moments. That’s a great concept for an article, but I only agreed with one of his selections. So, I thought I’d put together my own list. Enjoy! X-Men: The last stand at the end of the movie brawl that featured the X-Men […]

The hottest new movie in America is “Watchmen,” which is based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel “of the same name.” Watchmen is often referred to as the best graphic novel of all time, but it doesn’t quite live up to hype. The graphic novel is a bit disorganized, hard to follow at times, jumps around […]

“I just want to make one thing very clear. Folks need to understand what’s happening here, Sean. You’ve already talked about it. This is a systematic effort, I think, very well planned out to distract. They’re saying, “Oh, yeah, prices are going up for everything you have to pay for. Oh, let’s talk about Rush… […]

With the stock market collapsing and a depression looming, our tax cheat Treasury Secretary is grappling with weighty concerns. Foremost among them: the apocryphal global warming crisis. U.S. oil and natural gas producing companies should not receive federal subsidies in the form of tax breaks because their businesses contribute to global warming, U.S. Treasury Secretary […]

Stephanie Gutmann brings up something I’ve noticed. She starts with an Orwell quote: “The program of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He was the primal traitor…All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang […]

Not all college students are shuffling socialist sheep. Last October, John Wahlberg and two classmates at Central Connecticut State University gave an oral presentation for a communications class taught by Professor Paula Anderson. The assignment was to discuss a “relevant issue in the media,” and the students presented their view that the death toll in […]

As irked as I am with the DC smarty-pants set (Frum, Brooks, Parker), I get where they’re coming from. They inadvertently hit on a truth, because they themselves reflect the new truth: Americans are now, more than ever, influenced by the superficial and emotional, the form and the packaging. The smarty-pants set loved Obama because […]

I was talking to a very credible Capitol Hill source (who wishes to remain anonymous) today and that person told me a story that just blew my mind. Well actually, it should have blown my mind, but unfortunately, it is the sort of laziness and terrible messaging that we have too often seen from the […]

“Look at the incredible decline in the stock market, in all indices, since the inauguration of the president, with the drop accelerating when the budget plan came to light because of the massive fear and indecision the document sowed: Raising taxes on the eve of what could be a second Great Depression, destroying the profits […]

Although I think the Democratic attacks on Rush make for dumb political strategy, the RNC could learn something from the “Send Rush a message” contest that the Democratic Party is running, We’ll go through all of the slogans you submit, and the winner will have his or her submission appear on a billboard in Rush […]

“Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” — Ann Coulter More proof that Ann was right yet again, Guess where those votive candles were on sale? Hint: It’s an extremely liberal city in the US and probably the least friendly place to Christianity and mainstream […]

This morning, I work up to the classic blinking alarm clock. We had a power outage and because of that, I am a couple of hours behind my normal schedule. So unfortunately, for those of you who are used to swinging by early, it will be a little later than normal before my updates are […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… Listen! Listen! Can you hear it? it’s the sound of Barack Obama bumper stickers being torn off of cars all over this freaking country. Are you kidding me?! This guy is a disaster. Change? Change? Nobody knew what change was then. And Nobody knows what change is now. […]

So, 95% are going to get a tax cut are they? Well, that’s great. But what the government gives on the one hand, it will find a way of taking with the other. It needs money folks, and it will get what it needs one way or the other: A senior Senate Democrat said Tuesday […]

It was once a high honor to become a British knight. Then came moonbattery. Now, knights include the likes of pervert pop star Elton John and the comparably squirrelly Paul McCartney. The embarrassing remnants of Britain hit rock bottom today with this: Ted Kennedy, one of the leading members of the family dynasty that dominated […]

Let’s see, what will Obama throw our money at next? Welfare? Just did that, although welfare is now called “tax cuts.” Socialized medicine? He just made a “down payment” of $634 billion. I know, how about a $350 trillion space shield to deflect light from the sun: Scientists claim they can fight global warming by […]

So Senators using Twitter are giving constituents a peak behind conference doors. Evidently, it’s unpleasant. Not surprising. A room full of politicians….anyway. Here’s the kerfluffle as reported by AirCongress: The Arizona Republican posted his first anti-pork list under the Twitter name @SenJohnMcCain late last week, calling attention to projects like $650,000 for beaver management and […]

Barack Obama’s administration is tanking the stock market. The massive deficits and new government programs, the talk about bank nationalization, the talk about a trillion dollar tax hike, bailouts, the new regulations they’re discussing, cutting executive pay, etc., etc. What they’re doing, in a terrible economy, is introducing wild new variables and elements of risk […]

“Look, if we could get the Iranian nuclear program stopped with Russian’s helping us in return for selling out the Poles and the Czechs on missile defense, I’m enough of a cynic and a realist to say we would do it the same way that Kissinger agreed to delegitimize and de-recognize Taiwan in return for […]

…to keep tanking the stock market. …to keep creating massive debts our children will have to pay off. …to infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans. …to lose the war on terrorism and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. …to close Gitmo. …to expand government. …to use the power of government to silence his […]

There has been a lot of excitement from Barack Obama supporters about a new poll that shows he’s more popular than evah! After Barack Obama’s first six weeks as president, the American public’s attitudes about the two political parties couldn’t be more different, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds. Despite the country’s struggling […]

Last week, I had an opportunity to talk to former House Republican Whip, Roy Blunt. Blunt stepped down from his leadership position and is now preparing for a run at the Senate in Missouri. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. All right, first of all, now the GOP was in control […]
