While Normal Americans Go Unemployed, Obama’s White House Staff Makes Over $37 Million

Posted on by Dave Blount

What recession? People are making big money in this economy, without even having to do productive work, thanks to all the cushy positions on Comrade Obama’s massive White House staff: The challenging Obama era and 9.1% national unemployment rate do not include the 454 people now helping President Obama do presidential things. This crowd is […]

 

No, John Adams Did Not Pass the First Obamacare Law

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every few weeks for months now leftist bloggers have been happily touting the “fact” that our second president, John Adams, passed the first “national healthcare law” one that supposedly forced Americans to buy a form of healthcare. Unfortunately for them, this is simply untrue and comparing John Adams’ sailor’s relief act to Obamacare is misleading […]

 

Shame On Obama’s Ambassador to the U.K.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The political hack that Obama sent to be our ambassador to the United Kingdom has shown himself to be just that, a useless, inexpert, political hack. This hack didn’t bother to attend a large dinner given to celebrate the life and work of an American president, embarrassing Americans and British alike. Last weekend, to celebrate […]

 

Dear Speaker Boehner: Let’s Give Democrats The Old Tax Rates Back

Posted on by William Teach

(This is a letter and email that I have sent to Speaker Boehner, as well as to NC Senator Richard Burr and Congresswoman Renee Elmers, who will hopefully be my Rep. when redistricting is done, moving me to NC2, rather than Democrat Brad Miller in NC13. I’m also hoping that someone from one of their […]

 

“Killing To Control”

Posted on by Courtney Messerschmidt

Bloody L! Congrats to W. F. Owen – long time British Army Theorist, Little Satan fan and GsGf’s  asymmetrical warfare counselor – scored a significant coup with publication in the latest issue of British Army Review (PDF available here and at Small Wars Journal)  with the delightfully crunk deadly ditty: “Killing Your Way To Control” […]

 

Telling Climate Hysterics The Truth Is Like Salting Slugs: Necessary, But Fun

Posted on by William Teach

James Delingpole reminds the Warmists of a simple fact: there has been no statistical warming since 1998: There has been no global warming since 1998 The headline of this post really shouldn’t be controversial. It chimes perfectly with what Kevin “null hypothesis” Trenberth wrote in that notorious 2009 Climategate email to Michael Mann: The fact […]

Is Baldwin’s decision a chance for Wisconsin to go even more Republican? Don’t get cocky, but…

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) is among the most liberal members of Congress. A 7-term incumbent, representing a district dominated by uber-liberal Madison, there is very little chance that Republicans will ever knock her off. Thus, this is good news: Baldwin: ‘I think I am likely to run’ for Senate U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) tells […]

 

Firefighter’s 9/11 parade float “was incredible,” and so was the response

Posted on by TrogloPundit

In case you missed it: a Wisconsin firefighter’s union refused to support a parade float honoring 9/11 firefighters because the firefighter behind the float doesn’t support the union’s politics. The public, however, had a different response. The float was entered in two parades yesterday, and Charlie Sykes reports: In the annals of tactical blunders, the […]

 

That’s what I’ve been saying!

The Hoover Institution’s Michael McConnell, on whether or not the federal debt ceiling is “unconstitutional:” The theory is bunk. Yes! Bunk! That’s what I’ve been saying! McConnell, a Stanford University law professor and former federal judge, uses a lot more words to explain himself than I did (as one might expect from a hifalutin’ law […]

 

Gaza “Flotilla of Fools” is Stymied by World Disapproval But Refuses to Quit

Posted on by Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE The American and European leisure-class ‘useful idiots’ of Hamas have failed in their 2011 “mission” to discredit Israel with a flotilla run against the Gaza blockade. They are desperate to recapture some purpose for their hypocritical protest and look all the more foolish for trying.:  It’s so ridiculous, even the New York […]

 

New Obama “Executive Order” Puts 25 Federal Agencies in Charge of “Rural” America

Posted on by Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net One or two pundits mentioned during the “Weinergate” scandal in early June, that the scandal was just a distraction, and we needed to pay more attention to what Barack Obama was doing while we were looking the “other way.” : They were right.

 

Stimulus Jobs Cost $278,000 Apiece

Posted on by Dave Blount

Jobs are not created by government, but by the absence of government. Bureaucrats can only fabricate temporary and economically illogical positions by sucking money out of the economy that would have been used to create more numerous, permanent, and useful jobs. For example, the primary pretext for Obama’s budget-busting Porkulus spree was the easing of […]

 

Saddam Hussein Torture Doctor at Work in British Hospital

Posted on by Dave Blount

Under socialized medicine, there is little incentive to become a doctor. Fortunately, Britain’s liberal immigration policies allow them to be imported from abroad: A doctor involved in horrific torture by Saddam Hussein’s henchmen is working in British hospitals. In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of […]

 

A New Declaration of Independence for a New Revolution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]

 

Obama’s America: Rationing Toilet Paper

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Back in 2005 Democrat Senator Dick Durbin said that our soldiers were just like Nazis and were running the Soviet Gulags. Well, obviously Durbin and his extremist, left-wing hatred for our troops is off base, but we are seeing something in Obama’s America that is reminiscent of Soviet Russia: toilet paper rationing. Apparently, things have […]

 

Chicago: Two Anti-American Conferences Held on Independence Day

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While patriotic Chicagoans attended parades, BBQs and otherwise celebrated our Independence Day holiday — and while Democrats stayed home and brooded — two of the most anti-American ideologies imaginable met to plot their revenge on the USA. Not only did representatives of these two ideologies meet, but they met in the same town, on the […]

 

Hooray! China’s Pollution Saved Us From Climate Change (Hoax)

Posted on by William Teach

Climate alarmists are really, really digging for an excuse to remain relevant China’s rapid industrial expansion may have halted global warming for much of the last decade, climate scientists claimed. They said sulphur pollution from China’s coal-fired power stations helped to keep world temperatures stable despite soaring greenhouse gas emissions. Burning coal releases carbon dioxide […]

One question: how’s that hopey changey thing working out for ya? Because even ABC News is wondering if you feel better yet: The Economic Recovery Turns 2: Feel Better yet? This is one anniversary few feel like celebrating. Two years after economists say the Great Recession ended, the recovery has been the weakest and most […]

 

What Nation Building at Home Really Means

Posted on by Rich Stowell

President Obama’s synopsis of the recent speech he gave describing his Afghanistan troop withdrawal was, “America, it is time to focus on nation-building here at home.” What on earth does that mean? Though lofty and nearly unimpeachable as a safely vague slogan, it is hardly new or unique to Democratic speech making. There has been […]

 

Patriotism when you don’t love your country

Posted on by Bookworm

As I do every year, I went with my family to our town’s Fourth of July Parade. It’s a great parade, with all sorts of community groups participating, including the various chambers of commerce; Little League baseball teams; bagpipers (Marin is home to a thriving bagpipe community); an impressive selection of WWII vehicles from from […]

 

Stay in Your Caves Today, Moonbats

Here’s wishing patriotic Americans a happy Fourth of July. As for liberals: you had better keep your kids indoors.
