VIDEO: Harrington Looking to Topple Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was able to take a few minutes to interview Karen Harrington, a candidate for a Florida House seat. Oh, she’s not running for just any House seat.

Ripping Off California at the Speed of High Speed Rail

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of President Obama’s favorite go-to items to “stimulate” the economy is building new rail lines, especially high-speed rail. Many states have been smart enough to cancel the high-speed rail projects, but oh, not California. California’s project rolls inexorably onward. Still, California does help show the rest of the country why high-speed rail is a […]

Abe Lincoln and His Convicted Felon Pal, Bill Cellini?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Corruption in Illinois strikes again. This is the kind of nonsense that we get with political influence peddling and corruption.

One Chance That a President Mitt Romney Wouldn’t Be So Bad

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I cannot support Mitt Romney in this coming GOP primary. The one reason why can be summed up simply as this: he flip flops. Romney has more flip flops than a California beachfront. Mitt has been proven a man without anchor adrift in a sea of issues that push him and pull him with the […]

 

Death By Regulations: Has Obama Lost Senator Blanche Lincoln?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last year for the 2010 midterms Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln was in trouble with her reelection. Up until 2010 most felt her seat was a safe one but Democrat challengers pushed the sitting Senator to a runoff that she barely won. 55% of her constituents opposed her. Lincoln welcomed the support of President Obama who […]

 

Occupy LA Video: ‘Get Rid of America and Everything it Stands For’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Occupy Whatever movement — if it can be called a movement — is at its heart a hate-America movement. With each new video we see this more and more and this cretin at Occupy Los Angeles is just one more example. An avowed communist, like so many of these people are, he feels that […]

 

NYPD On OWS: “It’s all we’re doing, every two seconds, is locking somebody up…”

Posted on by William Teach

In all seriousness, I want the Occupiers to keep their little slice of insanity (violence, criminality, etc) up for another year and 2 days. The longer this goes on, the more people get an eyeful of what the Left, especially the Progressives, stand for, and, by extension, what Obama, Pelosi, and a good chunk of […]

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste. But there is a bill in the House called the REINS Act that could help […]

Let the Children Vote? What Lunacy From Think Progress?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Matt Yglesias of Think Progress apparently feels it’s a good idea for kids to vote in U.S. elections. No, not just 18-year-old kids. All kids regardless of age.

Alter: Obama is ‘Honest’ and ‘Free of Scandal’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When does a columnist write something so utterly absurd that his credibility is forever damaged? I am not sure how to answer that in general terms, but I think at least one journalist answered the question for his own, now thoroughly destroyed veracity. Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg has written one of the most ridiculous, least […]

That’s right, they’ve essentially become liars for atheism. In Costa Mesa, California a group of atheists calling themselves Backyard […]
