To get a better idea of which states will be crucial in the 2004 presidential election, I decided to see how the states voted in the last 4 elections. “R” means the state went Republican and “D” means it went for the Democrats. State 1988 1992 1996  2000 Alabama (9) R R R  R Alaska […]

I’m going to be heading out on vacation this week-end which means that the next update of RWN will be on Tuesday. As per usual when I go out of town, I’ll put up a few websites I like in the daily news section late Friday night. If I’m not going to be here, maybe […]

There are always people on the left who can’t wait to tell you sweet, sweet, lies about how wonderful socialized medicine is. But there is no free lunch folks. Not only will the money still have to be paid somehow, you’ll be forced to endure the same sort of customer service you now get at […]

Uh-oh, looks like one of those crafy Germans has got the goods of the 9/11 conspiracy! “A former cabinet minister is drawing huge crowds and stoking the fires of anti-Americanism in Germany with a book arguing that the US government mounted the Sept 11 attacks as part of a plot to win global domination.” But […]

Ah, I love it when people on the left let the faux compassionate mask slip and show people what they’re really like. Take someone named Teem for example who sent me this email…. —– From: Teem To: johnhawkins Subject: Swine “You dirty right wing piece of sh*t – you deserve an early death. We, the […]

I was reading an article about global on Reuters and a particular phrase they used to describe the Kyoto Protocol really jumped out at me. I even emphasized it so it would be easier to spot… “I don’t think a negative decision on Kyoto would be in Russia’s interest overall,” Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of […]

In a move that critics are calling “another act of cowboy unilateralism” the Bush administration has persuaded the United Nations Security Council to approve a resolution calling for international cooperation to rebuild Iraq. Democrats in Congress immediately slammed the President for “this new go-it-alone gambit” which resulted in a 15-0 vote of the Security Council. […]

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who is considered a “moderate” in the Muslim world by the way, uncorked a rant about Jews that was as flaky as anything you’ll find on any moonbat Nazi website on the internet. Here are some of the lowlights… ”The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million, but […]

Here are a few things I wanted to touch on that didn’t quite merit their own posts… — This Austin Bay quote is spot-on…. “Intel is never perfect and rarely certain. Those who argue it should be before acting are exemplars of Churchill’s “unwisdom.” Pathetic Neville Chamberlain waited for absolute proof of Hitler’s perfidy. He […]

Here’s a note to Michael Newdow, The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and all the other humor-impaired individuals whose time is spent obsessing on such Earth-shaking issues as the total elimination of religious references from the public venue. God just called…and he says you should get a life. Newdow, as you might recall, is the […]

Americans were murdered by Palestinian terrorists again today. It looks like a remote controlled bomb “killed three American security personnel and injured one”. But what were Americans doing in the Gaza strip? It was a diplomatic mission and the “convoy had been on their way to interview people for a scholarship in the United States […]

I was reading an editorial by left-wing columnist Harley Sorenson about a liberal cop he was talking to and these two paragraphs really jumped out at me… “(The officer) is vehemently opposed to the kind of training cops get these days, training that in essence teaches cops to shoot first and ask questions later. He […]

Former Vice President Al Gore’s planned new all-news channel is “all-news channel,” according to Mr. Gore. “We’re aiming for a younger, hipper, not liberal audience,” he said. “Our viewers will come from all parts of the political spectrum — from those who favor a government-run universal health plan, to those who think that Kofi Annan […]

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has churned out a typical pro-illegal immigrant fluff piece that I thought was worth commenting on. It’s titled, “Immigrants’ safety net unravels — Elimination of state indigent fund puts many in jeopardy” and as per usual with these sort of articles, they’ve found a sob story to try to tug on your […]

As I was reading a brilliant fisking of Andy Rooney, a particular quote that Rooney uttered caught my eye. I included the whole paragraph so you wouldn’t suspect that I was taking out of context. The emphasis is mine… ‘To begin with, we should change our attitude toward the United Nations. There has to be […]

Dennis Kucinich has now officially thrown his hat in the ring for President. Here are a few things he said yesterday that I thought were worth mentioning… “I’m running for president of the United States to enable the armies of peace.” — Dennis Kucinich “Freedom bids us to free ourselves from the shackles of violence. […]

Look out — there are Nazi traitors in the White House — or so say some of those crazy kids at the DU! Here are a few comments of note from a thread called, “Am I just PARANOID or are there NAZI TRAITORS in the WH?” (I think we know the answer to that question […]

Of course, there are plenty of people who don’t have enough money to make ends meet in America. I’ve been there myself before and I’m sure plenty of you have been as well. But in truth, we really don’t know how many poor people there are in America today because the statistics we use to […]

I don’t really follow baseball anymore, but I did take notice the huge brawl between Boston and the Yankees. In particular, I’ve heard a lot of people take shots at Pedro Martinez for tossing Don Zimmer to the ground during the brawl. Here’s a comment New York’s RINO mayor Michael Bloomberg that gives you a […]

I am not a huge Quentin Tarantino fan. I’m one of the few people who didn’t like “Reservoir Dogs”, I just thought “Pulp Fiction” was good, not great, and I didn’t even bother to go see, “Jackie Brown”. But, I do have to admit I wanted to see, “Kill Bill Volume 1” because there has […]

Here are five things other conservative websites do that just annoy the hell out of me. There aren’t necessarily a lot of websites that do this stuff, but coming across things like this on websites that I like is like finding a fly in my soup. The things I’m going to mention here are not […]

Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought a main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Amazon… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, but he […]

Since Rush hadn’t bought any painkillers from his former maid in more than a year, I had hoped that he had gotten clean since then. However, given that Rush is checking into a drug rehab center for 30 days, we now know that’s not the case. Some people have pointed out that Rush was hypocritical […]

Allah Is In The House had this to say about me linking his blog in my up & coming blogs post… “(W)hen the most profane Jew John Hawkins layeth down a link, then, infidels, there shall be trouble in Paradise. Tell me, Hawkins, when do you plan to interview Allah? Allah has long dreamed of […]

This story illustrates another one of my pet peeves about the way our out-of-control legal system works here in America… “The parents of a girl paralyzed in a car wreck caused by a drunken football fan have sued the National Football League, claiming it should be held responsible for the girl’s injuries. The lawsuit, filed […]

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today introduced a new, more challenging test for baggage screeners after Congressional critics claimed a previous test was too easy. Here are some sample questions from the new test: How do threats get on board an aircraft? a) They buy tickets and walk on, like everyone else. b) Because it’s […]

Hey look! It’s another group of college students studying RWN! This time it’s a bunch of crazy kids from the, “English 155 Fall 2003” class from California State University Northridge! Their assignment is to visit 4 webpages (of which RWN is one) and then they are to, “answer the following question: How does this writing […]

Just for the heck of it, here are a few blogs I’ve found particularly entertaining &/or interesting as of late. No blogs that advertise with me or that are on my referrer’s list are eligible. I also tried to stay away from the better known blogs because I think most of you already know how […]

The U.N.’s Committee on Rights of the Child isn’t pleased with Canada. It seems that those Canadian barbarians are spanking their children and the UN doesn’t approve… “…A United Nations committee has ruled Canada should bar parents from spanking their children. As a signatory of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Canada is […]

I know I’ve been going to the DU well a lot over the last three days, but they keep producing such FANTASTIC material I haven’t been able to resist. Here’s one from a thread that hits the same theme Hesiod did in the post yesterday — the American people are simply too stupid to know […]
