Obama’s Lobbyist Slams Masks Big K Street Payday

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In his State of the Union speech, the president puffed up his chest, fixed his Mr. scornful face, and once again pulled out the populist’s handbook to bash those evil, monstrous lobbyists. Obama mentioned lobbyists seven times in his address and in every case they were used as a scapegoat to explain away Washington’s inability […]

 

Another Example of Backwards Islamic ‘Culture’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

U.S. troops in Afghanistan are having a hard time understanding what is a strange Afghan cultural practice to them.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once Scott Brown took away the Democrat super majority in the Senate by becoming the Republican’s 41st vote based in large part on the fact that Massachusetts voters were unhappy with Obamacare, one would think that President Obama and the Democrat Party would learn a vital lesson. A look at a dozen or so stories […]

 

Luntz Misleads With New Gun Poll

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Pollster Frank Luntz is trying to hawk his new poll on gun laws commissioned by the left-wing group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

A Chicago Politician’s Arrogance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Long time Chicago Democratic Politician Monique Davis is the poster child for arrogance.

She is above the […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every once in a while I like to blow off some steam and deliver a good rant. So get ready for my rant du jour… It’s like a bad parody of the worst propensity of the American professoriate to be, well, as un-American as one can get. But here we have another prosaic example of […]
