What Did I Tell You? Here’s Proof That Obama LOVES The Birther Story

Posted on by John Hawkins

Had Barack Obama actually wanted to nip birtherism in the bud, he could have released his long version birth certificate back in 2008. That would have certainly done it back then, when the conspiracy hadn’t really gained traction. What I’ve been saying is that Obama liked having Republicans talking about whether he was born in […]

 

The Twitter Trap, The Facebook Feint, And The Cell-Phone Cover.

Posted on by John Hawkins

There’s not much that I’d agree with NY Times Executive Editor Bill Keller on, but his latest column, The Twitter Trap has a lot of truth in it.

Maria Shriver Leaves Ahnold… What Kind of Kennedy IS She Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Everyone’s jaws are jamming about the fact that ten years ago Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child out of wedlock with some hussey or another. The follow up shocker is that his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver — a member of the Kennedy clan — has left him. It all makes me wonder what is […]

Giving Illegal Immigrants The Edge Over American College Students?

Posted on by John Hawkins

If, let’s say, you’re a student from North Carolina, Ohio, or Arizona who wants to go to a public university in Maryland, you have to pay a higher rate than teenagers who live in the state.

Navy May Name Ship After Leftist Icon Cesar Chavez

Posted on by Dave Blount

A free country requires civilian control of the military. Unfortunately, in our times that means top down moonbattery, as exemplified by the possibility that the Navy will name a new cargo ship after Cesar Chavez to pander to left-wing Hispanics. James Gill, a spokesman for General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, said Monday the company […]

7 Of The Most Ridiculous Cries Of Racism Ever Made

Posted on by John Hawkins

If you just assume EVERY cry of “racism” in politics is illegitimate, you’ll only occasionally be wrong.
