Idiot Ohio Congressman Bans, Confiscates Devices at Townhall

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I go after the left all the time for opposing free speech and for doing its best to shut down citizens, especially at townhall events. Well here is an example of a Republican doing the same thing.

Apparently unions don’t even respect the dead. In Chicago, union thugs are defacing funeral homes over a contract dispute. Yeah. Property damage.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In Pennsylvania union thuggery, violations of the law, and criminality is abundant in the strike by the Communications Workers of America against Verizon.

The Union Job Security Act Equals Endless Road Construction

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Have you noticed how there is more road construction than usual lately, which never seems to end?

Temporary Limit on Lightbulb Ban Passes House

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston
