$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs. After all many states still had $30 billion of the previous stimulus that […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To attest to the ever more authoritarian nature of our federal government, I give you the stormtroopers of the National Archives who, for some unfathomable reason, have guns, badges and the power to “raid homes.” The L.A. Times published a story recently detailing the poor state of security of our National Archives holdings. The piece […]

New GOP Video: Deficit of Hope

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“The American people have seen who is benefiting from Obama’s economy and it isn’t them.

When a Civil Rights Group Hires All Whites… What do You Have?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As we are sonorously and endlessly told, the Southern Poverty Law Center is all about exposing the “hate” and working for “civil rights” in America.
