White woman is raped by a Haitian man — white patriarchy is to blame?

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

It has taken me two days to respond to: this: Ever committed to preserving the dignity of Black men in a world which constantly stereotypes them as violent savages, I viewed this writing as yet one more opportunity to fight “the man” on behalf of my brothers. That night, before I could finish the piece, I […]

 

New York Is Moving In The Right Direction On Organ Transplants

Posted on by John Hawkins

Today in this country, there are more than 200,000 people waiting for an organ transplant. Many of these people will wait for years, bed ridden, ill, and a significant percentage of them will die without ever receiving the organ they needed to lead a normal life. There is no practical reason that this problem still […]

Posted on by William Teach

OK, OK, everyone is entitled to have their say. This is America, after all, so, whatever she has to say must be super important, right? Grammy Award-winning singer Shakira has joined the growing chorus of opposition to Arizona’s new immigration law. Because that Grammy means quite a bit when it comes to American politics, giving […]

 

RWN’s New Comment System Is In Place

Posted on by John Hawkins

I expected to have RWN’s comment section changed over to Disqus last week-end, but best laid plans of mice and men and all that. In any case, the changeover is now complete. Disqus is: :  completely different from:  the:  in-house/word press hybrid that RWN was using up until yesterday. That means your old RWN login will […]

 

Yawn … Tea Parties Are Racist (Nazis) Blah, Blah…

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Lots o’ stuff on the “racist’ tea parties today, for example, at Powerline, “The Smear Continues.” John Hinderaker laughs at the study from the University of Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality, “2010 Multi-state Survey on Race & Politics.” And of course, the university’s research was picked up by Newsweek, “Are […]

 

YOUR Pay Is Not ‘Above Obama’s Pay Grade’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I used to lament the fact that we no longer have a President who can speak on his own without being spoon-fed words via teleprompter. Now, however, I’m glad for it.:  Obama’s reliance on being fed his words makes him unable to speak extemporaneously without revealing his true beliefs. He did so again, when he […]

 

Illegal Immigrants Really Are Abused — In Mexico

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

You’re about to poop your pants because you’ve eaten something bad. The flight attendant doesn’t want to get out of your way. You push by her. You are arrested.

Clean Air Causes Global Warming

Posted on by Dave Blount

Now we learn that even clean air causes global warming. It must be true, it was reported by coercively financed government media: As much of the world marked Earth Day this past week, the Environmental Protection Agency reported that air pollution has declined dramatically over the past 20 years. It sounds like good news, but […]

 

Crist’s Defection And A More Moderate GOP?

Posted on by John Hawkins

So, moderate Republican Charlie Crist just went independent in a spite bid to try to steal the seat from the GOP? Sort of like moderate Republican Dede Scozzafava, who supported a Democrat when she couldn’t win? But wait, could Crist be more fairly compared to moderate Republican Arlen Specter, who switched parties to try to […]

 

An Interview With Eric Singer, Head Of The Congressional Effect Fund

Posted on by John Hawkins

Earlier this week, I got together with Eric Singer, head of the Congressional Effect Fund You run a fund that trades stocks only when Congress isn’t in session. Can you talk about why that is? Yes, I call it the Congressional Effect Fund. The reason for that is that stocks do much better when Congress […]

Recently a baby in Italy was put through horror for his two short days of life in an incident that puts paid to the hypocrisy of those that think that an in vitro human infant is not really a human at all. This child survived a botched abortion then was laid alone in a cold […]

Another day, another “OMG, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO TO POT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” climate alarmist report A new government report says global warming could lead to an increase in both cancer and mental illness worldwide, The big question is, is there a causal relationship between the warming that has occurred, primarily natural, and those on the political […]

You knew they were coming, and here we go! A referendum drive and a lawsuit have emerged as potential road blocks to Arizona’s tough new law on illegal immigration that has thrust the state into the national spotlight. The legal action set to be filed Thursday in federal court is aimed a preventing enforcement of […]

 

Public Dissatisfaction and Anti-Incumbency Shape Electoral Environment

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Picking up on my comments this morning, I need to update with some additional information. The first piece is today’s poll out from Pew Research, “Pessimistic Public Doubts Effectiveness of Stimulus, TARP: Republicans Draw Even With Democrats on Most Issues.” (Via Memeorandum.) Looking at the survey, the Democrats enjoy few advantages in a poll that […]

 

We Like The IDEA Of Providing Sanctuary…

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The reality of being a sanctuary city, well, it’s not quite so appealing: City leaders in San Francisco, where there are more than 800,000 residents, could not be reached for comment. Other cities and states that provide safe havens to illegal immigrants have called on the federal government to overhaul the immigration system as they […]

 

The Hyperbole Surrounding AZ’s New Law; Talk About Epistemic Closure!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of newsreal I figured that I may as well jump on the new buzz word band wagon and use the term epistemic closure. Even though I’m totally not into the term. It sounds icky and like something contagious. Nevertheless, epistemic closure is pretty much what all of the hysterical, over the top shrieking […]

 

Angel Adams, the New Socialist Woman

Posted on by Dave Blount

Left-wing ideology is based on the premise that man is perfectible. If we just impose the proper mountain of laws, utopia can be attained by reshaping human character. It’s called “social engineering.” Tampa’s Angel Adams demonstrates how it’s working out: The din of Room 168 at the Economy Inn on East Busch Boulevard occasionally drowned […]

 

Open Borders Moonbats Boycott Arizona Ice Tea

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s not easy to parody the folks who brought us Barack Hussein Obama. Moonbats are so enraged at Arizona for attempting to enforce federal immigration laws before the entire state turns into New Juarez that they are boycotting Arizona Ice Tea. The problem: Arizona Iced Tea is actually brewed in New York. Online, misguided tea […]

 

Tea Party: Instantly Attacked by Old Media, Coffee Party: Immediate Respect from Old Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nothing says “media bias” like coffee in the morning. If anyone ever wanted to see an example of the bias of the Old Media no better example can be found than the different ways that it has treated the tea party movement and the coffee party astroturf effort. The tea party movement was initially ignored, […]

 

Media Spinning Against New AZ Law for All It’s Worth

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The media has been trying its hardest to spin this Arizona immigration law to its agenda for all its worth. It’s such a swarm of media agenda journalism that even liberal reporters that write about the travel industry are trying to demonize Arizona over it all. We can see this in the facile reporting by […]

 

Free Press? Not At This White House

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

I think Americans know now that the “transparency” that Obama promised during his campaign was simply a soundbite. In fact, Pres. Obama’s reluctance to be open with the White House Press reveals that Pres. Bush was actually the transparent one in comparison. Day-to-day interaction with Obama is almost nonexistent, and he talks to the press […]
