Year: 2009

Given that Medicare is already on track to bankrupt the United States, you’d think the government would be looking to reduce its health care responsibilities, not increase them. However, the government being the government, is looking to take over the rest of our health care system in a move that would spike costs, ruin the […]

How far behind Venezuela does America lag in the populist, socialist, state-run “solution” to the perceived injustice and unfairness of our formerly great capitalistic state? In this podcast, I interview my brother who is in Venezuela doing business and how the people there perceive the changes. The subjects of Sotomayor’s intelligence, the NRSC Toomey endorsement, […]

Over at the View, the La Brea Tar Pit of stupidity on TV where poor Elisabeth Hasselbeck is stuck wallowing next to all those braindead libs, they had a discussion about whether a 72 year old woman should be popping out puppies. “72-year-old Jenny Brown has spent almost $50,000 on in vitro fertilization because she […]

BAILOUT BEEFCAKE? GM video uses studs in Speedos to market Chevrolet to gay men.

Yesterday, someone came to RWN via this search, Now, you might say that there’s nothing weird about this search. But personally, when someone uses squiggly line foreigner talk to search for a picture of Kos and Karl Rove, I think it’s a touch off the beaten track. I mean, I know we’re America and everyone […]

Interesting list from Mortimer Zuckerman on just how bad Obama’s economy is doing. And, yes, it is now Obama’s economy. It’s his Generational Theft Act that is doing nothing except put the US deeper into debt and providing no stimulus to create jobs. It’s his global warming and healthcare legislation that makes companies hold off […]

Well, now that the USA Today asks, yes. There is no doubt that global warming has occured. The Little Ice Age ended because of a warming planet. The seas continued their 6-8 inch rise per century, as had been going on for 7,500 years. Other planets, such as Mars and Jupiter, have seen increased temperatures. […]

I have an idea: Let’s tank the economy during a recession.

And, too be honest, some of the Palin haters on the Right, too. But, let’s deal with the Left for the moment, shall we? Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight shows that the Palin hatred (this story isn’t quite in the PDS region) will drive them to use any rational to demean Palin Sarah Palin’s political action […]

Ace from Ace of Spades HQ was pretty tough on Sarah Palin after she announced that she was going to resign and quite naturally, he took a lot of flack over it from his commenters. Well, that led to David Frum, who left National Review and became a squish to try to get attention from […]

Is there a more pathetic creature than a liberal white male bathed in the identity-politics undermining his own credibility by damning white males? Exhibit “A”: Craig Crawford. It makes sense for Maureen Dowd to hide behind her persecuted vagina, but why would a man do the same thing? Why would one middle-aged white man deride […]

In a surprising move, the NRSC has endorsed their hated foe, Pat Toomey, in the Pennsylvania Senate race. That means I have to revise the statement I made just two days ago on RWN, “The surest indication that a Republican is a completely worthless turd is for the GOP to be backing them in a […]

Enough time has passed now and enough damage done, that the long-term effects of plastic surgery, especially facial plastic surgery, can be observed on the forever young faces of Hollywood, and, as it turns out, porn celebrities. In nearly all cases, the results are nothing short of horrific. [The link to Stacy McCain’s porn star […]

From Reuters, U.S. government officials are weighing a plan that would let borrowers who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments avoid eviction by renting their homes instead, sources familiar with the administration’s thinking said on Tuesday. Under one idea being discussed, delinquent homeowners would surrender ownership of their homes but would continue to live […]

The Leftist ideology descends quickly into intellectual madness. Meddling with the average person’s life, making choices for them because they’re too stupid to make choices for themselves, devolves into believing that some people are so stupid and worthless that they shouldn’t be born. The earth is better off without some people. And then, in a […]

Unfortunately, with the number of votes the Democrats have, Sonya Sotomayor seems likely to be confirmed despite her racism and shameless lying about her past statements and beliefs during her hearing. Here’s a round-up of reactions to her first day in front of Congress, A wise Latina, she previously said, would “choose to see” different […]

Despite the extreme arrogance of the Dems’ blitzkrieg to impose socialism on America, they’ve backed off on the Fairness Doctrine, because the public is all too aware that it is anything but fair. But there are other ways to skin a cat, such as closing down radio stations in the name of “diversity” because the […]

John Holdren — the guy who wanted to put a sterilizing agent in our water supply and is now in charge of federal science policy — is hardly the only dangerous radical to attain “Czar” status in the Obama regime. NewsBusters reports: The administration’s “Green Jobs” czar, Van Jones, has a “very checkered past” deep-rooted […]

OK, there is really no sex in this, but, caught your attention, right? Health care is generally a boring subject to discus….zzzzzzzz. Where was I? Right. A rather boring subject, like taxes. But, it is something that affects us all, and the Democrats will make SURE that it affects us all even more, right in […]

Move over Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, here comes Sonia Sotomayor . I’m not sure who that was appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the woman everyone expected. As Sen. Lindsey Graham said: “I listen to you today, I think I’m listening to [Chief Justice John] Roberts.” She […]

Steven Crowder did some great work here. Especially, when the government workers tell him to buy private care for $900.

Now that the Obamunist blob has engulfed GM and Chrysler, there is only one real American car company. It even has the best commercials: When FDR was imposing all manner of authoritarian moonbattery to prolong the Great Depression, businesses were strong-armed into displaying the Blue Eagle, which meant they had knuckled under to a long […]

In a single boner, Britain’s National Health Service demonstrates why government should have as little as possible to do with both education and healthcare, as well as why the once great nation is circling the drain: NHS chiefs have been slammed after telling school children: “An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away.” A controversial […]

I totally swiped this idea from Twitter: what can I say? It was funny! These are not in order because I’m including a couple I came up with and it seems cheesy to rank my own material against other Twitterers. “Harry Potter and the mystery of the haunted girl’s shower room.” — johnhawkinsrwn “Harry Potter […]

There has been something I’ve been wanting to show you guys. It is so cool: A United States map that morphs over the years to demonstrate where jobs have been gained and lost. Go look and then come back. Disturbing, right? Informative, too. See how Katrina blew up the economy of New Orleans? See how […]

This Pajamas video by Steven Crowder is a must-see. It’s 20 minutes of human evidence about horrible health care. And remember, the rich will always be able to afford to pay for better care. The public plan forces middle and lower income people who have good medical care now, into a government-run abyss of waiting […]

Sarah Palin announced that she wasn’t going to run for governor and intended to resign at the very beginning of my vacation. So, beyond a quick post, Why Is Sarah Palin Resigning As Governor? I Think It’s 1 Of These 4 Reasons…, I haven’t written about Sarah Palin since on RWN. Given how things played […]

It’s self-evident that the President’s intention to remake America economically does not mean that he wants the market to be freer. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. Not only does President Obama want the government to centrally control the economy, he wants to control what industries make up the economy of the future. […]

In this show, John Hawkins and I discuss how moderates run the Republican Party. In the second half, we’re joined by Dr. X, a physician who discusses how patients act differently depending on how they pay, or if they pay. Download MP3 Melissa’s show can also be found on RFC Radio every Monday and Wednesday […]

Yesterday, I received this email about NATO, Dear Mr. Hawkins, On the occasion of its 60th anniversary the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has released three online video spots designed to make the Alliance’s core values interesting for young people. You can find the videos, and other relevant information here: http://www.atlantic-community.org/index/about/nato_at_60 We would like you to […]
