Obama Hearts Occupy Wall Street, Michelle Hearts $3K Dress

Posted on by E. M. Zanotti

President Obama is embarking on another embarrassing “bus tour of the heartland” wherein he will ride his gigantic, taxpayer-funded million dollar black bus when it’s convenient for press photographers, but board Air Force One and Marine One when it’s most convenient for him. Along the way, he’s promising to deliver folksy speeches to folksy people […]

 

Did a Big Dem Donor Turned Obama Medical Records Czar Hoodwink Members of Congress?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Did Obama’s medical record czar, Judy Faulkner, hoodwink five members of Congress into pushing her own medical records company as the solution for the problem of electronic medical records for all government contracts? That’s what some wonder as Obama’s search for an electronic medical records solution evolves. In a likely earnest effort to bring jobs […]

 

Occupy Wall Street’s Essential Hypocrisy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There are a few major reasons that this Occupy-Whatever “movement” is as hollow as a Halloween pumpkin. One is that they are employing the sort of rhetoric with their “we are the 99%” claim that they complained about from Tea Partiers and two that some of their spokesmen are not what they claim to be. […]

 

If The Science Is So Settled, Why Intentionally Hide The Discussion?

Posted on by William Teach

Some very interesting, and disturbing, information from the Competitive Enterprise Institution’s Christopher Horner, via Watts Up With That? Although this is seedy and unlawful at any time, it also goes in the ‘bad timing’ file. Or it’s good timing, depending on one’s perspective. Just as a brand new book further exposes the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel […]

 

Occupy Wall Street: America’s Silver Spoon Generation On The March

Posted on by John Hawkins

Beneath the allegedly young idealism are very cobwebbed assumptions about societal permanence. The agitators for “American Autumn” think that such demands are reasonable for no other reason than that they happen to have been born in America, and expectations that no other society in human history has ever expected are just part of their birthright. […]

 

Obama Hijacks MLK, Jr. Celebration To Support Occupy Movement

Posted on by William Teach

Shameless, simply shameless. After listening to many wonderful speakers (and some who decided to interject their own political messages) discuss Martin Luther King, Jr., (NM)President Obama couldn’t resist interjecting his own far left politics and pandering (Washington Times) Drawing parallels between civil rights legend Martin Luther King Jr. and his own leadership challenges, President Obama […]

 

The Trap The Left Has Created For Itself With Occupy Wall Street

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Occupy Wall Street protesters did have one brilliant idea that set them apart from most, but not all other protesters (Think Cindy Sheehan): They made it a “long term” protest. After their first day of protesting, it looked like a failure. However, when people heard the protest was still going a couple of weeks […]

 

Romney Buoyed by Good Luck — and Hard Experience

Posted on by Michael Barone

Napoleon is supposed to have said that the quality he most valued in his generals was luck. In the current race for the Republican presidential nomination, Napoleon’s favorite would clearly be Mitt Romney. One lucky break after another has helped Romney maintain front-runner status or something close to it in polls of Republican primary voters […]

Government Kills… Businesses, Anyway

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A small business named Nice Cream found that government wasn’t very nice to its bottom line. In fact, due to its heavy hand, government froze the company into nonexistence. So much for everyone loving ice cream! The other day, while discussing the failures of government unions and their pliant, paid-for, lapdog politicians, one of my […]

 

Why, Yes, Obama Will Co-opt OWS Into A Campaign Theme

Posted on by William Teach

No, really, that’s his plan, and he is going to use the rage from the Occupy movement to campaign against Republicans. Then, the same guy who took massive amounts of Wall Street, Big Bank, Big Financial, and Big Corporate money in 2008, voted for bailouts, gave Wall Street, banks, financial institutions, and corporations, will take […]

 

Why Every American Should Care About the French Presidential Race

Posted on by Rachel Marsden

Being a geopolitical analyst and forecaster often means having to explain to people sitting in America how and why a single event in Africa, Russia or China will directly impact them either personally or professionally. One such event is the French presidential election set for May 2012, for which the opposition Socialists are selecting their […]

 

Slouching Towards Wall Street

Posted on by Kristen Walker

Occupy Wall Street is occupying every pundit’s commentary right now. I’d love to ignore it and focus on something else, but I’m too fascinated by watching the wreckage of civil society mewl and puke in the streets of Manhattan. The Tea Party, a grassroots movement of Americans concerned that the Constitution is being abandoned (and […]

 

Just a reminder: end of the world coming up, October 21. During the World Series. Of course.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Surely not, though. God loves Wisconsin too much to let that happen. Doesn’t He? Or…could this be evidence that St. Louis is gonna win the NLCS? Oh, right, you don’t know what I’m talking about. Remember Harold Camping? Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical […]

The Greater Boston Food Bank intended to have a fundraising event in Boston’s Dewey Square over the weekend of the 14th of October.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Decides To Fight Another War In Uganda

Posted on by William Teach

Well, not just Uganda, but other African nations, because the target of POTUS’ operation operates in other countries, such as Congo, South Sudan, and the C.A.R. He was nice enough to notify Congress, this time in a letter to Speaker Boehner Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:) For more than two decades, the Lord’s Resistance […]

 

Oh, Super: Romney Consulted With Obama Mass Sterilization Expert and Science Czar John Holdren

Posted on by Doug Ross

The ever-morphing policy positions of Mitt Romney are sufficiently disturbing on their own. But if it’s true that Romney consulted with Obama’s crazed ‘Science Czar’ John Holdren, he should step out of the GOP race today. Barack Hussein Obama has clotted the executive branch with unaccountable “czars” – unsavory characters too extreme to be confirmed […]

 

Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools

Posted on by Michael Fell

What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is: a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly […]

 

Congresswoman Schakowsky Says The Communist, Maoist, Illiterate, Hate-Filled OWS Protesters Are ‘Ordinary Americans’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of the Illinois 9th District, a sitting Congresscritter, mind you, decided it was a great idea to march with the Occupy-Whatevers on Thursday. Interestingly, a large contingent of these people sported T-Shits with Che Guevara, Mao Tse-tung, and other communist heroes emblazoned upon them. Guevara, a murderer, coward, and communist, is […]

 

Nancy Pelosi Says Republicans Want to Kill Women — But Who Are Really the Killers?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nancy Pelosi has a message for you: Republicans want to kill women. Yes, there it is, another fine example of the Democrat “new tone.” All one can say to that is, “Nancy, you ignorant slut.” (If you’ll excuse my channeling an SNL era Dan Aykroyd?) What’s all her hypocritical fury being directed at? The Protect […]

 

3.2 Million Arrested/Washed: #OWS Protesters Arrested After Clashing With Police

Posted on by William Teach

Hey, I’m just using Obama math, since @amandacarpenter was wondering if anyone could put together a count of the arrests (MSNBC) New York City police clashed with Occupy Wall Street protesters and arrested at least four of them after owners of the park being occupied ditched cleanup plans that demonstrators claimed were a pretext to […]

 

Obama Calls Boehner On Trade Bills, Gets Dressed Down

Posted on by William Teach

Perhaps Obama shouldn’t have been running his mouth earlier in the day while being campaigner in chief (Politico) President Barack Obama called House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Thursday to congratulate him for passing three trade agreements – but ended up getting an earful on the jobs debate. According to an unusually detailed account released by […]

 

The Best Quotes From ‘Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength’

Posted on by John Hawkins

I just finished reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, and it is an absolutely OUTSTANDING book. Admittedly, I was looking forward to reading it and even asked the publisher for a media copy, but the product was even better than I expected.
