Big Donor to Democrats Appointed to Obamacare Policy Panel

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We’ve seen it over and over with the Obama administration. All one need do to become a “czar” or get a plum appointment to yet another Obama regulatory board is to donate big money to Obama’s campaigns specifically or the Democrats in general. Now it’s happened again. The Washington Examiner’s Lachlan Markay reports that Judith […]

Union Thugs Deface Funeral Homes Over Union Fight

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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

Obamacare Far, Far Worse Than Imagined

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Congressional Budget Office has said that only about 7% of employers will drop their own company-offered plans and enter the new government plans that Obamacare will feature when the crap hits the fan in 2014. This small percentage, though is likely untrue. More likely it will be somewhere around 30% — or higher — […]

 

Another Example of How the NYTimes Warps Truth

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This weekend The New York Times, the fishwrap of record, had yet another one of its left-wing excuses for political analysis, this one about rumors of how Team Obama intends to carry on its continuing re-election campaign on matters economic. The piece is so chock full of bias that you don’t even have to get […]

 

Another Favored Obama Green Business Goes Bankrupt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson called out “You Lie!” when Obama claimed in his 2009 state of the union address that his Obamacare plan would never go to care for illegal aliens?

Union Thuggery: More Criminality in Verizon Strike

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.

Sadly, theft, property destruction, and otherwise breaking the law is no […]

 

Aug. 12: Happy Cost of Government Day (Illinoisans Hardest Hit)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, we’ve finally paid for the cost of government for the year. That’s right, it took over half the year for working folks to pay off what it costs to keep government rolling for a year.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Britain is burning. It will be here soon enough, the rampaging bands of useless youths coursing through England destroying property and looting stores as they go. Why will it be here?

In yet another example of collusion between “the press” and the Democrats, Bill Kelly of Chicago tried to ask a question of Democrat Senator Dick Durbin at a press availability at Chicago’s City Club and met, shall we say, some resistance?

Unions Lose BIG In Wisconsin Recall Efforts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Oh, the union thugs in Wisconsin will certainly try to act as if winning a mere two of the six recall elections of the Republican State Senators in the Cheese State was a big win… but it wasn’t. In fact, this recall nonsense shows that the union issues were a huge failure. After all, they […]

Want Proof of How Democrats Would Shut You Up, Tea Partiers?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On MSNBC, John Kerry told us that Tea Party ideas are not “real” ideas, not “factual,” and thinks that the media should stop reporting on anything that smacks of ideas or news coming from Tea Partiers. If this isn’t proof of how Democrats and leftists would use the power of government to quash free political […]

Unions: On the Outside Looking In At Political Power?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Since Obama began his run for the White House he has been Big Labor’s best friend. And they loved him for it, too. As Obama ran and as soon as he got into office the unions had stars in their eyes. They thought that with a bought and paid for president in their hip pocket, […]

 

Obama’s New CAFE Standards Will Cost Us All More Money

Back in September of 2010, a gas pipeline running underneath the city of San Bruno, California ruptured. The resulting explosion killed eight people.

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?

Last summer, Obama proposed spending $50 […]
