Talk about heavy-handed! A firefighter in California ended up in handcuffs after trying to help victims at the scene of an accident. It all started when the firefighter followed procedure to protect emergency workers. The CHP officer, whose name has not been released, told firefighter/engineer Jacob Gregoire to move the engine out of the traffic […]

The Olympics is supposed to foster dual feelings of patriotism and world unity, right? Apparently not for liberals, who are determined to ruin the Games by making it all about Russia’s policy outlawing homosexual “propaganda.” (If they think that’s bad, someone should tell liberals what the Muslims think of gay people! Oh, wait…) It’s getting […]

Here’s the latest frightening example of government intrusion into our lives and homes–in this case, our kitchens. As of January 3, the EPA has banned 80% of wood-burning stoves, which are used in 12% of US homes. From the article: As of January 3rd, the EPA banned about 80% of the wood-burning stoves and fireplace […]

This is the perfect combination of idiotic and militant. Chicago-area school officials are outraged that the state’s new “no guns allowed” sticker includes a picture of–get this–a gun. Yes, really: Guns were already not allowed in schools before the law was passed, and now some school officials are worried the Image on the warning sign […]

Where are those Occupy Wall Street People when we need them? It looks like the next round of bailouts is going to health insurance companies affected by Obamacare. Humana wants up to $450 million: Humana announced that it expects to tap the three risk adjustment mechanisms in ObamaCare for between $250 and $450 million in […]

The title of this post probably made you say “Wait…what?” Trust me, you’re not alone. The Massachusetts NAACP thinks a convicted batterer should continue serving as a State Representative from prison. (“How?” seems not to be much of a concern.) Weasel Zippers calls it “unreal.” The New England Area Conference of the NAACP is asking […]

Remember when anyone who voiced concern about ever-more-intrusive airport security was assured that they were just being paranoid? Apparently not. An ex-TSA employee has published a shocking confessional at Politico titled, “Dear America, I saw you naked – and yes, we were laughing. Confessions of an ex-TSA agent.” The Blaze has some highlights–or should we […]

…In some cases, 2 to 3 times more. That’s right: in 35 states, you can make more money sitting at home collecting welfare than working a minimum-wage job. According to Mr. Conservative, The study goes to prove that Obama’s handouts are generating a society that–out of common sense–would rather sit at home and wait for […]

When is the Republican establishment going to learn to stop ignoring the base? Donations to Karl Rove’s three Crossroads groups decreased 98% last year, after Rove “declared war on the Tea Party.” As Breitbart reports, Rove runs Crossroads GPS, American Crossroads, and the Conservative Victory Project Super PAC, which was formed this year to wage […]

Well, this is just lovely. Pro-choicers tend to scoff at the suggestion that rapists and abusers use legal abortion to cover up their crimes. But then examples keep popping up that prove it can and does happen. According to Life News: A 39-year-old California man faces 25 years in prison after she raped and impregnated […]

What if the government passed yet another law targeting “assault rifles” and their owners…and everyone ignored it? That seems to be the case in Connecticut, where up to 90% of gun owners are ignoring one of the “most draconian gun-control regimes in America.” According to a story at The Capitalism Institute: Almost the entire state: is […]

Here’s an example of that government efficiency and competence we’ve all come to rely on! A 77-year-old man in Washington, DC, died of a heart attack while firefighters looked on, telling bystanders that if they wanted help, they’d have to call 911 first. According to local news: Witnesses said the fire station was across the […]

One of liberals’ favorite ways to shut down discourse is to accuse conservatives–all of them–of being “racist.” We’ve learned to roll our eyes and ignore it, such as when liberals say that anyone opposed to amnesty for illegals is “racist.” But after MSNBC sent out a tweet implying that all “right-wingers” hate interracial families, RNC […]

Well, this story brings back bad memories of the Ariel Castro case. Apparently, a man held a 12-year-old relative captive in a shack for 15 years, sexually abusing her and forcing her to work for him. From the story: The woman was held from 1998 until she escaped in August 2012 after being convinced to […]

One of the basic duties of the Commander in Chief is to uphold the law–and Obama has often boldly refused to do so, according to Charles Krauthammer. In fact, Krauthammer believes that if a Republican president had ignored the Constitution the way Obama has, he’d be impeached. From National Review: While Republicans met today at […]

Shocking, right? Although liberals screech about how cutting unemployment benefits will lead to mass homelessness and starvation, that’s not the case. According to Charlotte Hays at Townhall: An experiment in North Carolina indicates that–as is all too often the case–Democrats actually may be hurting the very people they claim to be helping in their quest, […]

Apparently, the Department of Homeland Security has been involved in helping children cross the border to reunite with their illegal alien parents–and Sen. David Vitter is demanding an investigation. Vitter said he is “shocked to learn that the federal government is a participant in an international human smuggling conspiracy.” Last month, United States District Judge […]

The gun control lobby loves to point out that, unlike hunting rifles, a handgun’s only purpose is to kill another person. This is technically true–but it sure does come in handy when that person is a gun-wielding maniac holding up a store and threatening to kill everyone, as was the case in Orrville, Alabama, on […]

A bill to strengthen background checks and keep convicted sex offenders from working in schools seems like a common-sense, uncontroversial measure if there ever was one. In fact, registered sex offenders generally aren’t allowed near schools–much less in them as employees. But the two biggest teachers’ unions in the country disagree. As the Washington Free […]
