Arrogance: Obama Decides HE Can Tell A Company Where They’re Allowed to Build

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama thinks he has the power to tell companies where they are “allowed” to build new facilities and, shock of shocks, Obama wants all those facilities to be in union controlled states. Last week Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced its plans to force Boeing to keep building its aircraft in union plagued […]

 

Good News! PowerShift 2011 Climate Alarmists Plan To Walk The Talk!

Posted on by William Teach

Just kidding. They plan to organize instead of agonize Two weeks ago, over 10,000 students activists descended on Washington, D.C. to collaborate, train, motivate, and take action at Powershift 2011. They made enough of an impact that President Obama took notice and invited 12 student leaders for a conversation. Powershift happens once a year, but […]

 

Come on Everyone—it’s Time to Dig Deep and Help the People of Dixie.

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

Americans are an extremely charitable people. We NEVER turn our backs on those in need–whether it be our fellow Americans in New Orleans, or strangers in distant lands like Haiti or Japan. Wednesday night, a slew of tornadoes tore through the southeastern US, ravaging Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, all the way to Virginia. So far, […]

 

In a transparent attempt to wrest conservative leadership away from Wisconsin, Utah and Arizona name official state guns.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

If it wasn’t for that little shindig across the pond, this would’ve been the story of the day: The Colt revolver, a historic remnant from the shoot-em-up days of the old West, is now Arizona’s official gun. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Thursday signed a bill into law that makes the Colt Single Action Army […]

 

Think Progress Doubles Down On AGW Caused Tornadoes

Posted on by William Teach

Their first stupid article wasn’t enough, so, like any good unhinged Leftist climate moron, they double down with Top Climate Scientist On The Monster Tornadoes: ‘It Is Irresponsible Not To Mention Climate Change’ Who are those top climate scientists? Michael Mann (with his discredited hockey stick), Gavin Schmidt, and Kevin Trenbarth. Let’s see what Kevin […]

 

Chumps Weekly Address: Hey, Let’s Blame Oil Companies For High Prices!

Posted on by William Teach

The difference between a demagogue (interestingly, ye olde Thesaurus has the word “politician” as a synonym) and a leader: the first yammers on and blamestorms, the latter comes up with a real world plan to address the issue and attempts to resolve it. Guess which one Obama is? After the worst recession since the Great […]

 

DC Comics Turns Superman Against the USA

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Superman has just flipped the United States of America a super powered middle finger. In an upcoming issue of Action Comics, DC Comics is to have Superman appear before the United Nations to renounce his American citizenship. “Truth, justice, and the American way is not enough anymore,” Superman tells us. Screw you, America. In a […]

 

Why We Can’t Trust Government on Technology

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Free market advocates have for years been fighting the anti-capitalist left over government control of the Internet, a battle that has reached a temporary plateau when Obama’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) arbitrarily decided that it was in full control of the Internet and by fiat implemented the left’s long-sought net neutrality rules. This isn’t the […]

 

Emily’s List Targets Rep. Steve King with Blatant Smear

Posted on by Duane Lester

Emily’s List author, Lisa McIntyre, wants her readers to think Rep. Steve King is a sexist. So much she is willing to lie about it. The progressive pro-abortion, feminist organization posted an article today slamming Rep. Steve King as a sexist, claiming he would not debate possible Congressional candidate Christine Vilsack because she was a […]

 

Lawyer Sues Strip Club for Letting Him Spend His Money There

Posted on by Dave Blount

Lawyer Mark Gold makes a cushy living helping the irresponsible evade responsibility by defending drunk drivers. When he found he had blown $18,930 in one night bingeing at a strip club, rather than pay his bill he fell back on his jobs skills: Now the 56-year-old attorney is taking the Gold Rush [bwahaha!] club to […]

 

Totalitarian revolutions always end up eating their own

Posted on by Bookworm

One of the hallmarks of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Nazi Revolution (because, although the ballot was used in 1932, it was a revolution), the Hussein Iraq takeover (which was also a form of revolution), and other totalitarian takeovers is that the paranoid leadership style inherent in totalitarianism invariably means that the revolution […]

 

Geithner’s Spin: Auto Bailout A Success

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At the Detroit Economic Club today, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to claim the auto bailout is a success. It certainly doesn’t seem like a success for the taxpayers. GM stock is about $30 today, and unless it gets up to $54, the taxpayers lose money on the deal. Why would it go up? You […]

 

Calif Union Chief Says You Taxpayers are Selfish and Full of ‘Envy’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You taxpayers should be ashamed of yourselves, says Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation. You big, selfish jerks should be happy to pay the taxes that gives government employees all healthcare practically for free and allows them to retire at 50 with their comfortable 40-year-long retirement pensions that pay government union members […]

A royal wedding, and the long-awaited release of a document from Hawaii. The week certainly does finish up with a feeling of genuine accomplishment, doesn’t it? I say, not so fast. If there is any positive development for the civilized world this week, it is that a problem gnawing away at all of us, invisibly, […]

 

When You’ve Lost Grist On Corn Ethanol……

Posted on by William Teach

….you’ve lost the backing of one of the Internet’s most hysterical (both meanings of the word) enviroweenie/climate alarmist websites: Government-backed corn ethanol lurches on, paving a road to nowhere During the Bush II administration, I used to groan that the closest thing we had to a concerted policy response to climate change was the federal […]

 

Ohio Gov. John Kasich Tells Obama To Do His Own Job First

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, Obama is way too busy enjoying the trappings of the Oval Office, putting his 2012 election campaign into high gear, and getting revenge on reporters who actually report to actually do the job of Chief Executive. Obama was recently in Ohio to do a taped interview with WKYC Cleveland, and said, vis a […]

 

My Theory Of How The World Works: Blame It All On Women

Posted on by John Hawkins

As a conservative, I think you have to judge people as individuals. White, black, conservative, liberal, male, female — at the end of the day, each person deserves to be evaluated on his actions and his character. That being said, there are some people who look at the world a little differently. They may think […]

 

Obama Regime Uses Tiny Lizard as Pretext to Strangle Texas Oil Industry

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama et al. have used the spill by his crony capitalist bankrollers at BP as a pretext to shut down oil drilling in the gulf, and the exhaust fumes from an icebreaker to choke off Alaska, but how to justify suppressing land drilling in the desert wastes of West Texas? Here’s how: A three-inch lizard […]

 

Calling Pets “Pets” Is a Thought Crime

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s time for a new edition of the Newspeak dictionary. According to the pointy-headed circus clowns who pass down surrealist moral judgments from atop their ivory towers, our current vocabulary oppresses animals: Animal lovers should stop calling their furry or feathered friends “pets” because the term is insulting, leading academics claim. Domestic dogs, cats, hamsters […]

 

The Democrat Caused Pension Bomb About to Destroy Our States

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few weeks ago I wrote that unions have driven every state budget into a hole from which it isn’t likely the states can easily dig themselves out. I did not at that time reference the Pew report on the pensions mess and I want to revisit it here. On April 5, I said, “The […]

 

East St. Louis: More Voters Registered Than Citizens That Live There

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is a particular problem with our voter registration systems across the USA that the voting roles are so filled with ineligible names that we aren’t sure how many voters really live in any particular district. East St. Louis is no different. In fact, East St. Louis seems to have more voters registered in its […]

 

Chicago’s Cardinal Finally Punishes Catholic Bashing Priest

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Father Michael Pfleger of Chicago’s Saint Sabina Church on the city’s southside has been a thorn in the side of the Catholic Church for decades. The priest has been a vocal opponent of many of the Church’s positions and religious tenets but has seemingly been beyond punishment for his heresies. That seems to finally be […]

 

Reading Books Is Apparently Bad For Globull Warming

Posted on by William Teach

All you folks who read books, you are killing Gaia, and need to immediately buy an e-reader (until the alarmists determine that they are bad for Gaia). From TerraPass Unfortunately, the business of publishing books, newspapers, and magazines has a large environmental impact. In addition to the tens of millions of trees harvested every year, […]
