Washington Bridge Collapse Being Used to Push Big Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

By all accounts the Interstate 5 bridge collapse in Washington State was a result of an over sized truck load as opposed to “failing infrastructure.” But a plea for greater federal spending figured prominently in many reports on the accident nonetheless. Naturally, many on the left stampeded immediately to decrying “austerity,” or accused the Republicans […]

Triplegate: It’s Like Saul Alinsky is Running the Country

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

With three full-blown scandals currently surrounding the Obama administration, there are too many “-gates” to name just one.

Lindsey Graham: “And As To Susan Rice, She’s Not Going To Get An Apology From Me. She’s Going To Get A Subpoena.”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Seldom do I have a nice word to say about Lindsay Graham, who I’d dearly love to see bounced out of the Senate in a primary this year, but the fear of a challenge is at least spurring him to go after the Obama Administration. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham spoke to Fox News’ Greta Van […]

 

In “Squirrel!” Speech, Obama Urges End To Global War On Terrorism

Posted on by William Teach

Not that he really it calls it that. If you remember, his administration changed it to “overseas contingency” early on. And while the NY Times says that this “was the most important statement on counterterrorism policy since the 2001 attacks, a momentous turning point in post-9/11 America”, there are two issues, the first being that […]

The Department Of Homeland Security Targets Tea Party Protests

Posted on by John Hawkins

When the Occupy Protests happened, despite the fact that thousands of Occupiers were arrested, they were still often allowed to break the law with impunity. They blocked traffic, protested without a permit, camped places they weren’t allowed to camp and were generally allowed to do whatever they wanted. This might seem to be a minor […]

Obama’s IRS Nightmares

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

With so many scandals going on, and so many Obama administration officials claiming so much ignorance, it really makes you wonder: just who is running things in the White House, anyway?

IRS Scandal: Stage Managed To Leave President Obama In The Dark

Posted on by William Teach

Why Attorney General Eric Holder is the worst in US History

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

Eric “fast and furious” Holder’s legacy of corruption, power, influence, and greed will be a tough act for any future Attorney General to follow.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s chief anti-gun zealot Piers Morgan may have been loathe to admit it, but this IRS scandal seems to validate some of his detractor’s distrust of government.

Senate Democrat Claire McCaskill: Fire Everyone Involved in Obama’s IRS Scandal

Posted on by John Hawkins

Let’s be honest: There’s not a single Democrat in Congress who cares if the Obama Administration uses the IRS to target its political enemies. We’re the bad guys to them and they’re willing to do anything they can get away with to stick it to us. That’s why NOBODY at the IRS had been punished […]

 

Rush Limbaugh Does Live in Obama’s Head

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On May 14 after news broke that President Obama had once again attacked talk radio host Rush Limbaugh by name, El Rusbo joked that he was “living rent-free in Obama’s head.” It’s hard to fault Limbaugh’s logic on this.
