Michigan Firemen Setting Fires Over Union Anger

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Why was this story not national news? Outrageously, firemen in Flint, Mich. went about the city setting fires instead of putting them out last month and all because their union wasn’t happy with job layoffs. In a vain attempt to stop the layoffs, these union criminals went around setting fires to try and scare Flint’s […]

 

At Correspondents Dinner, Obama Takes Partisan Shots, Also Shots At Private Citizens

Posted on by William Teach

Say, remember this story from yesterday? In a blunt caution to political friend and foe, President Obama said Saturday that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to America’s democracy, and may incite “extreme elements” to violence. That was from his commencement speech whine at the U. Of […]

 

Pastor Stephen Broden on Michael Steele: “Michael Steele is Wrong.”

Posted on by Duane Lester

Pastor Stephen Broden said the opening prayer at the Winning America Back event in Independence, Missouri. He’s the Republican candidate for Congress in Texas’ 30th District. I was able to tag along with Jim Hoft and asked him about Michael Steele’s assertion that black Americans didn’t have a reason to vote for Republicans. His answer […]

 

Spill Won’t Affect the Drill: We Need the Oil (and Jobs)

Posted on by Donald Douglas

From the most surprising of places, NYT, “The Spill vs. a Need to Drill.” And you know, this stuff just kills the radical leftists who are openly rejoicing at the Gulf spill. Soon we’ll be hearing calls for “a million Deepwater Horizons”: Emotions are running high as an oil slick washes over the Gulf Coast’s […]

 

Racist D.C. Delegate Denies Justice’s Racial Make-Up

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Did you know that a black person could “propose” that they are or are not a black person? I suppose that this means we can all somehow deny reality if that is true. I mean, perhaps rainbows do have a pot of gold at the end and unicorns really do exist? At least this state […]

 

New Navy Ship to be Named After General Benedict Arnold

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Veterans and citizens both have become alarmed at the Navy’s plans to name a new amphibious ship after disgraced Revolutionary War General Benedict Arnold. The Navy’s newest vessel, a 684-foot, San Antonio class landing-ship, will be named the USS Benedict Arnold said Navy officials. Arnold was initially a hero of the Revolution before turning against […]

 

Mayors Daley And Nutter Cross A Line

Posted on by Brian Garst

Despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, violence in Chicago has gotten so bad that some local politicians are calling for deployment of the National Guard.:  It’s bad enough when gun control advocates can’t recognize the failure of their own policies, but now Mayor Daley has taken the anti-Second Amendment […]

 

Isn’t this new National I.D. card idea racist, too?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Senate Democrats unveiled an immigration reform proposal on Thursday, which includes more money, more cops, more equipment, and: It would create a national ID — which is dubbed a “biometric social security card.” Though Democrats insist that it is not an ID card and can only be used for employment purposes. Yeah, their assurances do […]

 

Iran, SCOTUS, and the Republican Party of Sauk County, Wisconsin

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Things that make me think of other things. One: United Nations Names Iran to Commission on the Status of Women Because women always suffer the most in earthquakes, the United Nations has named the grrrl-powered Islamic Republic of Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women. The UN made the move after Iran withdrew […]

Authorities in Los Angeles are bracing for a massive illegal immigration rally today. As always, the hardline communist protest groups are leading the demonstrations. Here’s the statement at L.A.

NY Times: Obama Missed Chance To Act On Oil Spill

Posted on by William Teach

Part mega lots in the on going visibility of the biased media. Check the headline BP Is Criticized Over Oil Spill, but U.S. Missed Chances to Act Ah. The US missed its chance. Not Obama. The US. But, interestingly, in the meat of the article (Obama’s) administration has publicly chastised BP America for its handling […]

Washington to Give Unions More Power to Tell Corporations What to Do

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Chris Dodd (D, Conn.) wants to give unions more power in the boardrooms of our nation’s businesses. In essence, Dodd wants to force corporate boards under the thumb of unions by federal fiat. Carefully hidden in Dodd’s new regulations are provisions that give new powers to board members, powers aimed at giving unions more […]

 

Life. And The Will to Live

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I read this article in The Telegraph the other day about a 22 week old fetus, an unborn baby, who survived an abortion attempt and lived for two days; unattended to, abandoned and left to die. Alone. After I stopped weeping and saying a prayer for that innocent life lost, a couple of other things […]

 

Gulf Oil Spill From NASA Earth Observatory

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Lots o’ stuff on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Via NASA’s Twitter stream and Memeorandum, “Gulf Oil Spill Creeps Towards Mississippi Delta.” And the untouched photos are at NASA Goddard’s Flickr page: And don’t miss the phenomenal coverage at The Big Picture, “Oil spill approaches Louisiana coast.” Radical leftists have already exploited the tragedy, […]

 

Sarah Palin: Drill, Baby Drill!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Sarah Palin encouraged Americans to still believe in domestic drilling. From her Facebook page she says: In the coming days, there will be hearings to discover the cause of the explosion and the subsequent leak. Actions will be taken to increase oversight to prevent future accidents. Government can and must play an appropriate role here. […]

 

Democrats – talk about tone deaf

Posted on by McQ

Sometimes I just love the Democrats.:  They’re so out-of-touch they’re just comical at times. After fomenting a near meltdown over the Arizona immigration law, with charges of nazism and cries of “show me you papers!” flying hither and yon, the Democrats introduce an immigration framework with what? Improved papers, of course. Yes, the Dems screwed […]

 

Dem-Created Dustbowl

Posted on by Dave Blount

Literally nothing is more malignant than liberalism, which is destroying our country politically, economically, morally, socially, demographically — and even physically. For example, liberals are deliberately reducing our most productive farmland to a dustbowl. Instead of pink blossoms and green shoots along Highway 5 in April, vast spans from Bakersfield to Fresno sit bone-dry. Brown […]

 

Obama Tough Guy On Illegal Immigration! That Was Then…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see that anything that Obama says has an expiration date. In 2006, then Senator Obama was a tough guy on illegal aliens. Flash forward to 2010 when he wants desperately to find an issue with which he can beat up on Republicans, suddenly Barack Obama pretends to be every illegal alien’s buddy. […]

 

And You Thought Asking For Papers Was Bad……

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

The left went bonkers over the part of the new Arizona law that would require people to carry papers to prove their citizenship. Many wrote that it was like Nazism or Communism. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. Many commenters made me pause to think about it. No matter how we feel about […]

 

Delicious: Crist’s Name to Appear on the Bottom of FL Ballot

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

That’s what happens when you run as an “NPA” (No Party Affiliation). Via CNN (h/t: @mattklewis): According to the Florida Secretary of State’s office, the order that candidates are listed on the state’s ballot is predetermined by law. The winner of the Republican primary will receive top billing, followed by the winner of the Democratic […]

 

PA12: Republican Tim Burns Fights the Pork-Barrel Political Legacy of Jack Murtha

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

There’s a special election May 18 in Pennsylvania’s 12th District for a House seat formerly held by the late Jack Murtha. Republican Tim Burns is in a neck-and-neck fight with Democrat Mark Critz, a Murtha aide who specializes in pork-barrel earmarks. Charlie Cook recently switched this race from “toss-up” to “lean Republican.” Burns has been […]

 

Sweet! Unelected And Unaccountable Department To Have Your Bank Records

Posted on by William Teach

Personally, I am always amused at how Democrats position themselves through words as paragons of civil liberties, yet, when push comes to legislation, privacy and protection from government goes right out the window The next time you make a withdrawal from an automated teller machine, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner might be watching over your […]
