Partying Like It’s 1994–Or 1946?

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Restoring the economic growth of 1994 through 2006 and ending “The Great Recession” — an economy being dragged to a sclerotic halt by “the New New Deal” and its myriad of wasteful spending and top-down government controls, can and should be one of the goals of the next Congress, if indeed, the map is painted red in November.

Teachers Union Prays for the Death of NJ Gov. Christie

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Sadly, wishing for the death of a political opponent is so typical of the left. Pol Pot, Stalin, the Democrat sponsored KKK, the chief tool used by such folks has been terror and violence.

Another Motherhood-Hating, Traditional Gender Role-Attacking, San Fran Liberal

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Margot Magowan a blogger for the San Francisco Chronicle must have gone to college. I say that not because she seems so well educated, but because she seems to hate traditional gender roles. After all, the only place that women become radical feminists is in college because the real world does not teach such balderdash. […]

How Much Is a Seat in Congress Going For?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Rep. Wasserman Schultz; Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Washington Think Tank New America Foundation has been reporting on drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq for quite some time and its tally of kills by U.S. drones reveals an interesting thing. It shows that drone kills under President Obama are far and away higher than those under Bush. Reliable numbers of those […]

 

Stupack To Retire?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

And, I wonder what big, inside-the-administration job he’d get? Or will he be a lobbyist? Or maybe an Ambassador somewhere? Buried on MSNBC today: *** Stupak to call it quits?

Obama Signals Enemies that Nuking U.S. Is A’OK With Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is known for bowing to foreign dictators, emperors and Kings but it is such a chore to do it individually. Flying around the world to bow to each killer, oppressor, and tyrant is so time consuming. If only he had a way to do it to every American enemy at once it would […]

Unions Killing Chicago Convention Biz

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Tribune has an editorial that shocks for the outrageousness that is the corruption and overcharging that unions have forced upon the convention business at Chicago’s McCormick Place.

Ill. Rep. Hare Buying Stock in Wool, Now Claims He DOES Care About Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few days ago Rep. Phil Hare told some of his constituents that he didn’t care about the U.S. Constitution and that he was going to help push through Congress Obama’s un-Constitutional take over of our healthcare anyway.
