Hollywood ‘Comedian’ Calls for Assassination of Sarah Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller has a disturbing story this week. It’s all about a so-called Hollywood comedian telling a talk show audience that he would assassinate Sarah Palin were she to become President of the United States. He wasn’t being “funny” either, was he? After all, those Hollywierders that blamed the right for […]

 

Announcing the Running on Empty Tour

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Americans have sent Obama a bill for: $560,699.03 The number above is how much more gas will cost Americans over the next 12 months compared to the price when President Obama took office. Americans for Prosperity Foundation is kicking off the Running On Empty Tour, a national grassroots tour to highlight President Obama on his […]

 

New York Times Columnist Kristof’s Foolishness

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof is a simpleton. There is really no other way to say it, no gentler phrasing possible, to explain how childish and uncluttered his tiny little mind really is. The latest example of his utter inability to think clearly can be seen in Kristof’s screed against Americans that love America. […]

 

Booster Uses Rape Case to Sell Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This one sure is disgusting. Remember that the chief of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested for sexually assaulting a maid in New York? Well the leftist website AlterNet is using the DSK rapist incident to push unions. Like most leftists no crisis is too bad to exploit for union gains, I guess. […]

 

Anthony Weiner Admits He Sent the Original Photo, Lied About It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To add to John’s coverage, I live tweeted the presser… Despite the many left-wingers spinning tales to make Weinergate the fault of conservative media mogul, Andrew Breitbart, Democrat New York Representative Anthony Weiner now admits that it was he who sent the original photo, that the underwear-clad person in the photo was indeed a photo […]

 

New ‘Reality’ TV Show To Focus On Race for 2012 Election

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An interesting ad has recently appeared at the New York Craig’s List website which shows exactly how the left will be framing the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The ad asks for a family that represents “racial minorities” to be pitted against a family of “white conservatives.” It’s pretty clear they intend to make this whole […]

 

Big Unions Cooling on Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bloomberg has another unions-are-mad-at-Obama story this week and, while there is no doubt that unions are a bit miffed at the big “O,” we should all be cautioned about where Big Labor will put its support in 2012. Miffed or not, and quite contrary to what Bloomberg wants you to believe, Big Labor will support […]

 

Who’s Watching As White House Collects Emails (For Illegal Campaigning?)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Official White House website has a questionable new addition. When you land on the White House main page a notice fills your screen asking you kindly if you’d like to supply them with your email address so that they can send you “periodic updates from President Obama and other administration officials.” Well, isn’t that […]

 

Even Lefty Website Mediaite Says Breitbart Did Not Lie about Weinergate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the things that the left has lighted upon to explain away the behavior of Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner with his Weinergate Twitter mess is typical of the way leftists try to misdirect a debate away from the failings of their own side. Instead of keeping focus on the failures of Weiner to put […]

 

Evil Confederate, German, Nazi, Racists Invades Mind of The Atlantic Writer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Atlantic’s Yoni Appelbaum has a troubled little mind. He seems to be an excitable sort, too. I say this because during this 150th anniversary of the American Civil War he strangely sees evil Confederate, German, Nazi, racists at Civil War events. He might want to see a therapist about this. Either that or he’s […]

 

L.A. Times Tim Rutten, Historical Idiot

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tim Rutten is a left-wing, hack writer from L.A. He is always good for contemporary left wing trope but the other day we discovered that he is also good for the sort of uninformed blathering that leftists of his ilk pretend is American history. Chiefly that of America’s religious history and the so-called “wall of […]

 

Your Taxes Paying Government Union Members NOT to Work, Part Two

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At a hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, it was revealed that federal employees spent nearly 3 million hours of official, taxpayer paid time on union activities in 2009. This cost the treasury $129 million, an increase of $8 million over the expenditures in 2008. The report that fueled the hearing (see .pdf) was prepared by […]

 

VIDEO: Grand Rapids, Michigan Refuses to be Called a Dying City!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago the City of Grand Rapids, Michigan was called a “dying city” by Newsweek. The folks living there took exception to that characterization. So, a couple of 5,000 citizens or so decided to get together and make a music video to show their civic pride… Read the story of the making of this […]

 

MSNBC: Obama’s Job Loss Blamed on Natural Disasters, Bush’s Job Growth ‘False’ Because of… Natural Disasters?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

From the “figures lie, but liars figure” department we find that left-leaning cable newser MSNBC reported that the main reason Obama’s job stats are tumbling and unemployment is so high is because of the harsh tornado season and other natural disasters we have been experiencing over the first half of 2011. Yet, hypocritically, if we […]

 

Now Media Trying to Turn Weiner Tweeter Into a Republican?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This story about Democrat New York Congressman Anthony Weiner sending a photo of his… uh… weiner… to some barely-out-of-her-teens student in Washington State is as ridiculous as it can get. But the leave it to the Old Media to make it more ridiculous yet. Leave it to the venerable newswire service Reuters to turn a […]

 

Ill. Democrat Assaults Fellow Senator On Floor of Senate!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, when anyone dares question an Illinois Democrat he gets violent… even if he’s a state senator and he’s right on the floor of the senate itself. 51st District Senator Kyle McCarter (R- Lebanon) objected during the debate today about the ComEd utility legislation the Democrats were pushing. His fellow Senator, the 36th District’s Senator […]

 

Debt Ceiling Debate: Democrats Won’t Even Vote For Their Own Ideas!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Late on Tuesday the GOP led House of Representatives defeated a vote to raise the debt ceiling. This is not a surprising vote, to be sure, but the odd part of this deal is that some Democrats voted with Republicans even after sending a letter to Obama only a month ago saying they supported raising […]

 

Election Laws Need an Overhaul, Wisc. Case in Point

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is no doubt that our election laws are in serious disarray. So many laws and rules have been written and added to the plethora of rules and regulations that already exist that confusion is more likely the case than clarification. As several recall petitions in Wisconsin wing their way to a polling place near […]

 

Fox Business Network Opens New Studio Overlooking Floor of Chicago Mercantile Exchange

Fox Business Network is leaping head first into full time coverage right in the thick of it all at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange with a new CME-based studio booth on the next level up from trading floor itself. Interestingly, this marks as the very first time a financial network will have its own, branded booth […]

 

DC Libs Happy to Sign Petition Banning Conservative’s Free Speech

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is always a bundle of contradictions. On one hand leftists set themselves up as the ultimate in “tolerance” and a guarantor of “freedom” to do as one wishes. Most leftists imagine themselves interested in making sure everyone is free to do as they wish to the point where that they are almost libertine […]

 

Dem. Party Chair Mad that GOP wants to Make Being an Illegal Alien… er… Illegal

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(William mentioned this earlier, but I have an additional point about this so, here goes…) Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a Democrat Congresswoman from Florida and is currently the head of the Democrat National Committee. She is also one of the most vitriolic, off base, half informed demagogues of the far left in America today. […]

Memorial Day 2011: THIS Is What American Troops Are Made Of…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For Memorial Day, I don’t usually post much, preferring to dedicate the day to memorializing our troops. To do that this year, I am going to share this story about the mettle of our troops. What follows are excerpts from remarks by Marine Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly to the Semper Fi Society of St. […]

 

Weiner’s Weiner: Dem. Rep’s ‘Hacking’ Story Falls Apart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Over the last few days New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked when it was revealed that “someone” sent a sexually graphic picture to a young woman in Washington State from his account. The photo, a picture of a briefs-clad man sporting an erection, was sent to […]

 

Union Contracts More Important Than Patients For Union Drivers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Priorities. Union guys have priorities, you know? For instance, in New Jersey earlier this year a bunch of union drivers for the Communications Workers of America (CWA) decided that it was more important to have a “sick-out” and strand sick elderly people, preventing them getting to their life-saving medical treatment than do their jobs. State […]

 

Green Policies a Substitute For Anti-Capitalist, Anti-American Ideas

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Those anti-capitalist college professor types that used to sneer at America and supported the murderous antics of the Soviets had for a short time after the fall of the U.S.S.R. no place in which to invest their anti-American ideals. However, it is clear that they have found a new home: greenism. And so, the old […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston Interview with freshman Representative Todd Rokita of Indiana’s Fourth Congressional District (Rep.-Elect at time of interview). Being here in Chicago right adjacent to Rokita’s turf, I was already familiar with his work as Indiana’s Secretary of State and so when the RP team offered me an interview with him, I jumped […]

 

Democrats Plan: Destroy U.S. Healthcare So They Can Re-Build it in Socialist Image

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his Democrat pals have been lying to you, America. They do not want to find a cure for America’s obviously ailing healthcare system. They want to erect its headstone. Democrats want to destroy every aspect of our healthcare system. They have to, you see, because if they don’t they cannot rebuild it to […]

 

Defunding of Planned Parenthood Upended With Secret Amendment in Tennessee Budget Work

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

=One of the things wrong with our system of creating legislation and passing it into law in America today has appeared in Tennessee. The Volunteer State is not the only place things like this happen, either. Recently the Tennessee legislature passed a bill to remove state funding from the abortion mill operator Planned Parenthood.
