Obama Says U.S. Can ‘Absorb Terror Attacks’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eh, don’t worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can “absorb it” and just become “stronger” because of it. It’s as if he wants it to happen, or something! In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another […]

 

SEIU Union Hack Admits that Local TV Stations Help ‘Get Our Message Across’

Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a gem of a report wherein a union operative admits on tape that he and his union pals intend to launch a big campaign against Wisconsin’s GOP Gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker.

Elite Favors: Congressmen Payoff Staffer’s College Loans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

They call it a “recruitment tool,” but it is little else but yet another way for Congressional elites to give each other favors on the taxpayer’s dime. As Americans are increasingly losing jobs, even their homes, congressmen are using taxpayer’s dollars to pay off the student loans of their staffers. Worse, this has been going […]

Coming to YOUR Nation: Muslims Forcibly Take Over French Street for Prayers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the more insidious ways that Muslims try to impose their sharia laws on western nations is to use the west’s liberal laws against them by warping that law to install sharia by stealth. Such is the case in a section of France where Muslims, sometimes appearing in the hundreds, choke a French street […]

 

Obama’s Favors to Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Washington Examiner asks a few substantive questions about unions this Labor Day weekend. Why do they seem to have such an outsized power when their dues paying members are fewer than ever, when they work in fewer industries than ever, and when they have such money troubles? Ah, but the answer is what we […]

U.S. College Pushes Anti-American, Pro-Islam Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We send our students to college to learn what they need to know to become good American citizens. From this knowledge we hope that they will realize useful, maybe even successful, lives.

Credit Card ‘Reform’ Will Force All Credit Purchases to Exceed $10

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Previous to the current meddling by Congress, stores were technically not allowed to require a minimum purchase for credit cards. If you wanted to charge ten cents or ten dollars merchants were supposed to accept the charge. But the Durbin Amendment (Sen. Dick Durbin, D of Ill.) to the credit card “reform” bill passed by […]

 

When The Left Is Watched: Racism!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Organizing for America, ACORN and whatever new name and incarnation of these Democrat groups may be blame Republicans for the recent fire burning down the building with voting machines in Houston, Texas. Of course, the accusation is patently false. What is more interesting to me is this reported by Brad Jackson: Smith didn’t stop with […]

 

AFL-CIO Joins Communists, La Raza, ACLU, Other Unions in Voter Registration Drive

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Looks like the AFL-CIO is no longer even trying to hide the fact that it no longer sports a traditionally American political outlook.

The Left’s Newfound Respect for Freedom of Religion

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For 20 years or more the left has initiated a steady campaign to destroy the free expression of religion in America.

Roger Ebert: Calls Sarah Palin Hitler, Says America Is At Fault for GZ Mosque Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Roger Ebert is nothing if he isn’t a knee-jerk leftist, absolutely without a single original political or cultural thought in his head and his latest meandering post on the Sun-Times hosted Roger Ebert’s Journal is a perfect example.

In Cookeville, Tennessee we see a perfect example of all that is wrong in both our immigration and electoral systems. In 2004, an illegal immigrant voted illegally in Tennessee’s Putnam County. He showed false identification and a stolen Soc. Sec. number. But in 2010 the federal government is asking Tennessee officials to help smooth this […]

 

Reminder: Obama’s Played More Golf in 2 Yrs. Than Bush Did Both Terms

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Between 2000 and 2008 one of the left’s most cherished ways to ridicule President Bush was to point out how often he went golfing. Bush’s golfing was a clear sign that he was ignoring the work he had to do in Washington and that he just didn’t care they claimed. He was a playboy, a […]

Obama and FDR on Proposed American Dollar Re-Design?

A little contest called the Dollar ReDes$ign Project has been launched on the web and I have to say the dismal design offerings being foisted on the public are a wonder to behold.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Congress finally cut off federal funding to ACORN […]

The Tax Left-Wing Professors Act

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

James Lileks of the Minneapolis Star Tribune recently had a brilliant idea. Let’s tax tenured professors at a higher rate than everyone else. And how could they complain? After all, these left-wing, communist sympathizers are always saying everyone should pay more taxes. How could they complain about being called to “pay their fair share”? Lileks […]
