Obama Says He Gives ‘Better Gifts’? Don’t Ask the Brits About That One

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On yet another appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show, President Barack Obama broke his own arm patting himself on the back telling the talk show maven that he gives better gifts than he gets. As Chicago’s Lynn Sweet reports, “When it comes to gifts, President Obama says he gives ‘nicer stuff that I get,’ an […]

 

Science, Smoking, Healthcare, All Prove Gov’t Can’t be Trusted

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just sit back and let big daddy government show you the way. The Democrat Party is assuring us that they know better because they have science, educated people, doctors, all that “expertise” in their control and further more they “care” about us all and they want us to know that they’d never do anything to […]

 

This Leftist Drivel is Why Journalism is Dying

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today I have read a piece of “journalism” by a freelance writer whose Slate article shows me why the profession has fallen on such hard times. The piece on fast food drive thru windows is not only pretentious but it is filled with enough fluff to stuff a mattress and leaves the impression that the […]

Liberal Website Wants ‘Teabaggers’ to ‘Die’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The profane, but popular lefty site named “Wonkette” decided that it wants conservatives to die. Either that or it wants homosexuals that indulge a certain sexual practice to die, it’s a bit hard to tell. In a post outrageously headlined “Teabaggers To Feign Death In Senate Offices, Because Of Whatever,” the Wonkette crew snarks that […]

Last night I was invited to attend a Christmas get together sponsored by the Illinois Policy Institute.

Obama to Journalists: No Christmas Present For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is beginning to look like TheOne has just told the lapdog U.S. Old Media that he didn’t get them a Christmas present this year. Politico is reporting that the Obama Administration didn’t invite the average number of newsies to the White House Christmas Party and on top of that, even the ones that did […]

 

The Teacher’s Union That Stole Christmas

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Weekly Standard has an excellent new article in its latest issue that reports on the discouraging story of the Washington D.C. teachers union that is rushing headlong toward destroying the successful and popular federally-funded D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The program has helped many disadvantaged D.C. are kids get a better and safer education […]

 

ClimateGate and the UN: New Red Scare over Green Lies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Believe it or not, the UN just whined that climategate is the Russian’s fault. It appears that the United Nation’s position is that the obvious cover-up of the false doctrine that is global warming perpetrated by global warming “scientists” is not the fault of the lying scientists, but that of the assumed “paid” Russian hacker […]

A just finished audit has shown that massive fraud and multiple violations of Ohio’s voting law has been uncovered in a recent ballot initiative effort. Among other violations, 47 felons were hired illegally by the advocacy group SmokeFree America to collect signatures for issue five, a ballot initiative to ban smoking in Ohio’s small businesses.

SEIU’s Calif. Vote Fraud

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Over the last few months we’ve talked about several instances of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) committing vote fraud in elections for in-home helathcare workers to chose a union. We have also reported on the shaky UHW election in Dec. of 2008. (Here, here, and here) Even with those instances extant we have more […]

 

New Rule of Thumb: History Only Happens in Our Lifetime

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s a new rule of thumb, apparently, that history doesn’t matter. Fall of Rome? Who cares? WWII? What’s it matter? The Great Depression? Just a blip. It’s NOW that we care about, man. All that history stuff? Pffft. If it isn’t happening now, it doesn’t matter. This notion that history is for the stuffed shirts […]

 

A Tale of Two Presidents: How Media Treated Bush’s Unemployment #’s Compared to Obama’s

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It never ceases to amaze me how differently the Old Media treats Republican presidents compared to how they treat Democrat Presidents during times of unemployment reporting. Today, in the vaunted era of Obama, the unemployment numbers for November 2009 have come out and it shows some of the highest unemployment numbers since the Great Depression. […]

 

Unions Railroading Florida’s Rail Project

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Florida is right now at the vanguard of a new railroad project that could bring good news to those that care about solving bloated state budgets, common sense employment laws, and cutting the corruption that comes with unions by pushing for a non-union workforce with its proposed intrastate rail system. And the unions are incensed, […]

 

Obama Job Summit: Another Manufacturer Opts Out of U.S.A.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With President Obama carrying on his “jobs summit” this week blaming business for “not hiring enough workers,” it is interesting to see the reaction of at least one major U.S. business to the Obama administration’s actions during this economic downturn. On November 11, David N. Farr, Chairman, CEO and President of Emerson Electric Co., announced […]

 

Is Your Right Not to Vote Endangered in Illinois?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, Illinois voter, say you go to the polls and you decide you don’t like any of the candidates for lt. governor or secretary of state but you are all fired up about your choice for governor. So, you just don’t want to vote for the ones you don’t like but you darn sure want […]

 

Lewis Diuguid: Ice Cream for Breakfast and a Unicorn in Every Garage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Kansas City Star columnist Lewis Diuguid is, I am forced to believe, completely addicted to some sort of hallucinogenic drug. What else could explain Diuguid’s serious echoing of the unserious proposal of a federal “department of peace” offered by that well known UFO enthusiast from Ohio, Dennis Kucinich? Oddly, Diuguid seems to think that this […]

 

New Lefty Outrage: Gasp, Sarah Palin Flies in Planes!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Gore flies all across the world destroying the environment with his travels so that he can sell the fantasy of globaloney. Hundreds of government officials will be crisscrossing the globe flying to Copenhagen to “save the planet” at the upcoming Climate Conference this December. All are adding to what leftists call global warming and […]

 

Obama: King of All Statists

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Almost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman had half their cabinet officials with private sector experience. And Obama? Less than 10%. That means that […]

 

Those DVD ‘Special Features’ Rarely that Special

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For some lighter fare today… When DVDs first began to contain those now ubiquitous special features, those mini documentaries, series of interviews, or behind the scenes shoots, it seemed like such an exciting idea, especially for film buffs (or series fans). But now that they have become fairly common and now that I’ve seen a […]

 

Why Conservatives Have Trouble Getting Elected

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The reasons that I could never get elected to any government position is the same reason why conservatives have a tough time getting elected and, if they end up elected, can’t govern in this era of the ill-educated voter. First I’ll lay out my main principles… Leave me alone Stop taxing me Shove your regulations […]

 

Another Obama Gitmo Official Resigns in Obama Smoke Screen Effort

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier this month President Obama fired Greg Craig, his main counsel on matters concerning the Guantanamo Bay Facility — unless, of course, you really believe the claim that Craig resigned. And this week Obama sheds another one of his GITMO team with the resignation of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense for Detainee Policy Phillip Carter. […]

 

Stimulus Stimulated Much of Nothing in Illinois

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Tribune has an interesting story that shows that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus really didn’t do much by way of creating any new jobs in Illinois. Though Obama is counting “jobs saved” as some sort of success story, the fact is few jobs have been created and nothing will be sustainable after the stimulus […]

 

Best Buy Ditches ‘Christmas’ But Celebrates Muslim Holiday in Fliers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Christmas. Who needs it? Not Best Buy, that’s for sure. After all, Best Buy is loathe to use that hateful word in its advertising. It’s so “religious” and tinged with racism, America, and tradition. It makes Best Buy shudder to think of using that foul word, Christmas. But, advertising for the Muslim holiday of Eid […]

Ruinous PLAs Coming Your Way Lucas County, Ohio! Magie Thurber is reporting that Lucas County, Ohio County Commissioner Ben Konop is trying to force unions on non-union labor in his jurisdiction.

The End of History or a History of the End?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few years ago, Francis Fukuyama was widely criticized for his book claiming that mankind had seen “The End of History.” Fukuyama contended that liberal democracy had won the debate over which system was best and, therefore, there was necessary no more “moving forward” for man’s social order. While Fukuyama might have thought the question […]

 

US Media Ignores Obama’s Muffed Japan Visit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Japanese media has reported that Obama’s recent state visit to their island nation was a big failure, but the U.S. media is mum on the mess that Team Obama made in Japan. He made multiple diplomatic gaffs and this is quite aside from the absurdly low bow that the incompetent president perpetrated upon greeting […]

 

NPR: The Internet is at Fault for Fort Hood Assassin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

National Public Radio (NPR) has a bit of foolishness penned by Daniel Schorr that really shows how useless NPR really is. In an pristine example of Schorr’s great intellect, he’s decided that the Internet is responsible for Nidal Hasan’s murderous rampage at Fort Hood earlier in the month. Folks, this is the sort of hack, […]

 

Marriage Hating ‘Psychologist’ Calls Palin a ‘Special Liar’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An anti-Palin screed somehow ended up on Psychology Today’s website. I know, I know, it’s shocking that Psychology Today could sponsor something that is less science than it is PC, hatespeak against conservatives, what with psychology being so scientific and all — but, there you have it. Penned by one Bella DePaulo, the piece really […]
