Jaw, Jaw and Bromides: Obama’s State of His Next Campaign for President Address

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Shameful Behavior: U.S. Senate Continues Spending Money in Secret

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently for at least ten years our U.S. Senators have been creating operating rules that allow them to get out of doing one of their most important jobs: actually voting on legislation.

One of Obama’s Biggest Donors Now His ‘Economics Adviser’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week President Obama appointed the CEO of General Electric, Jeffery Immelt, to head up his Economic Advisory Board. This is, as Freedomworks’ Tabitha Hale wrote, “an obvious rent seeking arrangement between Big Government and Big Business.” This could not have been a more clear product of a crony corporatist relationship, and it is one […]

Will Obama Push Climate Alarmism During State Of The Union?

Posted on by William Teach

That’s what The Politico is wondering, saying that the Alarmist-(who keeps his thermostat really high, drives in massive gas guzzlers, and takes many unnecessary fossil fueled airplane trips)-In-Chief is being pressured to do just that In two previous big speeches on Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama planted global warming and energy near the top of […]

Remember those hoary days of raucous protest when anti-war protesters sent thousands of people into the streets sometimes with only a days notice?

Snap! Obama Plans To Reboot On Economic Advice

Posted on by William Teach

After two years of mostly bad ideas on how to handle the recession, which turned into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, which happened while Democrats were in control of the federal government, Obama is looking to reboot! Which should lead to more great failed sloganeering, like “Recovery Summer”. Thankfully, Obama won’t have […]

Obama to Sue States to End Worker’s Right to Secret Ballot

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama has given more payoffs, sweetheart deals, and new favorable regulations to Big Labor than any president in history. They should love him for his incredible largess. Next, in his never ending quest to harm the business community, defy the will of the voters, and give his pals in Big Labor paybacks, Obama’s National […]

 

Obama’s Labor Dept: If You Let Girl Scouts Sell Cookies, You HAVE to Let Unions Come in Too

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Everyone loves Girl Scout cookies, right? What could be more American?

‘Historian’ Douglas Brinkley: Obama ‘Like’ Martin Luther King

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Radio talker Rush Limbaugh got in dutch with Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer for saying that Obama supporters were “slobbering” over his address at the pep rally/memorial sponsored by the University of Arizona for those fallen in the Arizona shooting. But “slobbering” is nothing compared to historian Douglas Brinkley’s hyperbolic praise. Brinkley absurdly said that […]

 

Union Boss: Yeah We’ll Talk, But Go Our Way or You’re a ‘Human Rights Violator’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As President Obama clucks his tongue at America for “pointing fingers” and “assigning blame” in our political debate, and as his friends on the far left ignore him and point their fingers and assign blame to the Republicans, Tea Partiers, and Sarah Palin, at least one union chief in Detroit is doing his part to […]

 

Crook County Illinois: Fake State Rep Casts Deciding Vote to Raise Our Taxes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

She didn’t know anything about the bill. She never read it. She hadn’t been given any cheat sheets, facts sheets, talking points, or mass emails on the bill. But in true, corrupt Chicago fashion, she voted “yes” on it just as she was told to do by her corrupt party bosses. Even worse, she was […]

Hit And Run Compares Arizona Rampage To…..Wait, Hit And Run?

Posted on by William Teach

Michael C. Moyhnihan produces a whopper of a tale, with all sorts of paranoid and incorrect blamestorming, hours before Obama told people like him to just stop it. Witness the insanity: The Assassin Who Would Save America from the Extreme Right If political rhetoric can inspire murder, then it follows that those issuing warnings about […]

 

The Tucscon Memorial Service: The Sick Reaction Of The Crowd

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Tucscon Memorial Service was a grotesque event. It was not grotesque because it was on television, although I’m not entirely sure why it was televised. It was not grotesque because inexplicably, it seems like politician after politician was speaking. To their credit, everyone including Barack Obama, gave speeches that seemed to be entirely appropriate […]

 

Want to See Some Hate From America’s Left-Democrats?

On Second Chances: Ted Williams vs. Michael Vick

Dems Still Working Hard To Thwart The Will Of The People On Health Care Reform

Posted on by William Teach

As most of us know, the American People were dead set against the passage of the so-called “Affordable Care Act,” which started out with the notion of reducing health insurance costs and providing coverage to the 30-45 million Americans that had no health insurance, and escalated to a 2,000 page bill that none who voted […]

Posted on by Dave Blount

Countermoonbat Congressman Peter King (R-NY) has received the ultimate recommendation in the form of a denunciation by the Islamophiles of the New York Times, a publication that characteristically stands with Historic First Muslim Congresscritter Keith Ellison against anyone with the backbone to face the Islamic enemy within.

Obama Plans Massive Land Grab

Posted on by Dave Blount

Nothing better sums up the Left’s antidemocratic and antihuman agenda that the Obama Administration’s policy of circumventing Congress to seal off our own land from use.
