Who’s Watching As White House Collects Emails (For Illegal Campaigning?)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Official White House website has a questionable new addition. When you land on the White House main page a notice fills your screen asking you kindly if you’d like to supply them with your email address so that they can send you “periodic updates from President Obama and other administration officials.” Well, isn’t that […]

 

Even Lefty Website Mediaite Says Breitbart Did Not Lie about Weinergate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the things that the left has lighted upon to explain away the behavior of Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner with his Weinergate Twitter mess is typical of the way leftists try to misdirect a debate away from the failings of their own side. Instead of keeping focus on the failures of Weiner to put […]

 

Evil Confederate, German, Nazi, Racists Invades Mind of The Atlantic Writer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Atlantic’s Yoni Appelbaum has a troubled little mind. He seems to be an excitable sort, too. I say this because during this 150th anniversary of the American Civil War he strangely sees evil Confederate, German, Nazi, racists at Civil War events. He might want to see a therapist about this. Either that or he’s […]

 

L.A. Times Tim Rutten, Historical Idiot

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tim Rutten is a left-wing, hack writer from L.A. He is always good for contemporary left wing trope but the other day we discovered that he is also good for the sort of uninformed blathering that leftists of his ilk pretend is American history. Chiefly that of America’s religious history and the so-called “wall of […]

 

Your Taxes Paying Government Union Members NOT to Work, Part Two

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At a hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, it was revealed that federal employees spent nearly 3 million hours of official, taxpayer paid time on union activities in 2009. This cost the treasury $129 million, an increase of $8 million over the expenditures in 2008. The report that fueled the hearing (see .pdf) was prepared by […]

 

MSNBC: Obama’s Job Loss Blamed on Natural Disasters, Bush’s Job Growth ‘False’ Because of… Natural Disasters?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

From the “figures lie, but liars figure” department we find that left-leaning cable newser MSNBC reported that the main reason Obama’s job stats are tumbling and unemployment is so high is because of the harsh tornado season and other natural disasters we have been experiencing over the first half of 2011. Yet, hypocritically, if we […]

 

Now Media Trying to Turn Weiner Tweeter Into a Republican?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This story about Democrat New York Congressman Anthony Weiner sending a photo of his… uh… weiner… to some barely-out-of-her-teens student in Washington State is as ridiculous as it can get. But the leave it to the Old Media to make it more ridiculous yet. Leave it to the venerable newswire service Reuters to turn a […]

 

Ill. Democrat Assaults Fellow Senator On Floor of Senate!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, when anyone dares question an Illinois Democrat he gets violent… even if he’s a state senator and he’s right on the floor of the senate itself. 51st District Senator Kyle McCarter (R- Lebanon) objected during the debate today about the ComEd utility legislation the Democrats were pushing. His fellow Senator, the 36th District’s Senator […]

 

Debt Ceiling Debate: Democrats Won’t Even Vote For Their Own Ideas!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Late on Tuesday the GOP led House of Representatives defeated a vote to raise the debt ceiling. This is not a surprising vote, to be sure, but the odd part of this deal is that some Democrats voted with Republicans even after sending a letter to Obama only a month ago saying they supported raising […]

 

Election Laws Need an Overhaul, Wisc. Case in Point

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is no doubt that our election laws are in serious disarray. So many laws and rules have been written and added to the plethora of rules and regulations that already exist that confusion is more likely the case than clarification. As several recall petitions in Wisconsin wing their way to a polling place near […]

 

DC Libs Happy to Sign Petition Banning Conservative’s Free Speech

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is always a bundle of contradictions. On one hand leftists set themselves up as the ultimate in “tolerance” and a guarantor of “freedom” to do as one wishes. Most leftists imagine themselves interested in making sure everyone is free to do as they wish to the point where that they are almost libertine […]

 

Weiner’s Weiner: Dem. Rep’s ‘Hacking’ Story Falls Apart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Over the last few days New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked when it was revealed that “someone” sent a sexually graphic picture to a young woman in Washington State from his account. The photo, a picture of a briefs-clad man sporting an erection, was sent to […]

 

Green Policies a Substitute For Anti-Capitalist, Anti-American Ideas

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Those anti-capitalist college professor types that used to sneer at America and supported the murderous antics of the Soviets had for a short time after the fall of the U.S.S.R. no place in which to invest their anti-American ideals. However, it is clear that they have found a new home: greenism. And so, the old […]

 

Democrats Plan: Destroy U.S. Healthcare So They Can Re-Build it in Socialist Image

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his Democrat pals have been lying to you, America. They do not want to find a cure for America’s obviously ailing healthcare system. They want to erect its headstone. Democrats want to destroy every aspect of our healthcare system. They have to, you see, because if they don’t they cannot rebuild it to […]

 

Defunding of Planned Parenthood Upended With Secret Amendment in Tennessee Budget Work

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

=One of the things wrong with our system of creating legislation and passing it into law in America today has appeared in Tennessee. The Volunteer State is not the only place things like this happen, either. Recently the Tennessee legislature passed a bill to remove state funding from the abortion mill operator Planned Parenthood. The […]

 

Party of the rich: Democrats in Congress score ‘abnormal’ stock profits

Posted on by Doug Ross

Corporate executives are banned from trading stocks based on inside knowledge, but apparently Democrats in Congress operate under no such restriction. An extensive study released Wednesday in the journal Business and Politics found that the investments of members of the House of Representatives outperformed those of the average investor by 55 basis points per month, […]

 

VIDEO — Fleebagging TV: Democrat Walks Off TV Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here we have a whiner Democrat that can’t take the heat of a TV cable show… and hasn’t two neurons to rub together. You know… a typical Democrat. I love how Ed Morrissey explained how Democrats like this twerp work… Step 1: Declare that the Republican plan will kill people Step 2: Denounce demagoguery Step […]

 

Obama’s New ‘Truth Minister’ Husband of ‘General Betray Us’ MoveOn.Orger

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This week President Obama revealed his latest attempt to control the media, the Internet, and the information revealed to the people of the United States by creating a new “press” office of sorts, an Obama ministry of truth, if you will. Obama’s grandiose name for this new office is the Progressive Media & Online Response […]

 

N.J. Courts Not Interested in Democracy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Most Americans are under the mistaken assumption that we as voters can elect someone to make changes in our government. Whether the government of our city, county, state or that in Washington DC we voters have this romantic idea that we can affect change by electing people to office that will make those changes. The […]

They’re really, really upset about all those pesky Freedom Of Information requests to pony up their data and research. You know, that government funded data and research Freedom of information laws are used to harass scientists, says Nobel laureate Someone needs a waaaahmbulance.

Obama White House Bans Newspaper For Printing a Mitt Romney Op Ed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently the Obama White House is not so fond of the Boston Herald. Well, maybe “not so fond” is too mild. More like furious. So mad, in fact, that the paper was banned by the White House from covering local visits by Obama and crew. The Boston Herald said “pretty please” and Big Brother O’s […]

 

Union Thugs Protest The Wrong Place!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I guess that getting the correct information when arranging a smear campaign and protest is not necessary when you are the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Who needs to be in the right when you are an important, powerful, politically connected union, eh? The seriousness of the charge and the effort to “raise awareness” is […]

 

Political Corruption: An Illinois Specialty

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In just one more example of the thousands of examples of political graft in Illinois, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that being a board member of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board is one giant no-show, do-nothing pay off to friends, family, and allies of Illinois’ Democrats. Members make up to $100,000 a year to […]

 

Hypocrisy: Obama’s Stock And Trade

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s National Labor Relations Board made itself infamous not long ago by attempting to tell Boeing in what state it was allowed to build a new manufacturing plant. Indulging his penchant toward anti-business, anti-capitalist sentiment Obama decided that he was the final arbiter on where companies were allowed to move and set up shop. Boeing […]

 

Tenn. Voters To Get Chance to Say Abortion Not A ‘Protected Right’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This could shape up as a major battle between supporters of infanticide and pro-lifers in 2014. Pro-abortion forces will likely flood the Volunteer State with out-of-state money to defeat a referendum that may appear on the 2014 ballot allowing citizens to decide whether or not their state constitution really does have a special right protecting […]

 

American Government Must Be Torn Down and Rebuilt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In New York you need a license to work as a gas pumper at a gas station. A contradiction since you do not need that expensive license, training, and government meddling to pump your own gas in New York. In Chicago it is supposedly illegal to fly a kite inside the city limits. In Delaware […]

 

Obama Was Israiled: Killing bin Laden Was Not Foreign Policy Experience For Prez

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Friday Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu schooled President Obama — who is clearly out of his depth — on Middle East diplomacy. This would not have been necessary if Obama had not tried to turn decades of American foreign policy on its ear, if he had not turned against our only real Mid East […]

 

Racebaiter Chicago Priest Reinstated By Spineless Cardinal

Father Michael Pfleger, one of the most hateful and divisive priests on the American Catholic scene, has been temporarily given back his position as pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church on Chicago’s South Side by Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George. In a new statement posted on the website of the Archdiocese of Chicago, Father Pfleger apologizes […]

From a gang of six to a gang of Dicks, Durbin torpedoes compromise once again The “gang of six” is a group of senators who had taken it upon themselves to come to some sort of agreement over the competing budget ideas between Republicans and Democrats.

Children’s Book Publisher Collapses to Radical Environmentalist Pressure

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Extremist environmentalists have won yet another victory for propagandizing our children in schools by forcing Scholastic Books to junk a proposed energy-themed classroom education packet that treated the subject in a more even handed mode in favor of a program that only pushes extremist enviro policies. Yes, once again, the hard-core, anti-capitalist left has won […]
