Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Michigan’s union thugs have found a new way to hide their on-the-job union activism from the prying eyes of public transparency — or at least they think they have. Activist school teachers are using their state-sponsored email accounts to discuss their strike ideas, their union work slow down ideas and other illegal activities but are […]

 

Government Motors: The Coming General Motors Failure Will Be At Taxpayer’s Expense

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama Administration has proclaimed TARP and the subsequent bailout for General Motors a great success. US Treasury Deputy Timothy Massad recently said, “Where we are today shows that the program, by any reasonably objective measure, was a success.” But is GM, now much derided as “Government Motors” the success that Obama says it is?

Newsweek: Americans are Stupid Because We Don’t Spend Enough on Education?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Newsweek has published another one of those aren’t-Americans-Stupid articles wherein we find that few Americans know anything about either our history or our political system. People have no idea who our current vice president is, they don’t know when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, and they haven’t a clue who takes the office of […]

 

Just Can’t Win Dept: Unions Honor Traitor Republicans, Dems Call Unions Traitors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Traitors to the right of them, traitors to the left of them, traitors in front of them… behind them, around them within them… in the they-just-can’t-win department, unions held a soiree for the traitor Republicans that voted in favor of some of the pro-union provisions in last week’s temporary budget and their pals in the […]

 

Senator Ron Johnson on The Budget and the Debate in Wisconsin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently I was part of a conference call with Senator Ron Johnson (R, Wis). Johnson is a member of the GOP wave that over took Washington in the 2010 midterms. In a surprise to many, Johnson defeated long-time Wisconsin Senator, Democrat Russ Feingold. My first question was one that I have also asked Chief Deputy […]

 

Nany, Nany Noo Noo: Peggy Noonan Jumps the Shark Over Donald Rumsfeld Memoir

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In her March 11 column, Peggy Noonan (a former special assistant to Ronald Reagan) savaged Donald Rumsfeld as “The Defense Secretary Who Let Bin Laden Get Away .” Noonan also ripped his new book, “Known and Unknown,” as a tome whose “stupid little spine” she wanted to break in anger. I’d like to suggest that […]

James O’Keefe’s Video Revelations Continue

Posted on by Dave Blount

NPR has made it crystal clear that scapegoated Ron Schiller’s loathing for the decent, patriotic Americans who have taken part in Tea Parties is hardly an anomaly among his former colleagues.

Wash. Post’s Ezra Klein Absolves Radical Islam, ‘Young Christians’ Perpetrate ‘School Shootings’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Journolister and Washington Post writer Ezra Klein is another one of those liberals in the elite Old Media trying to pretend that there is no Islam in terrorism these days. He’s also another one of those who, in the face of reality, hyperbolically say that Christians are somehow just as prone to terrorism as Muslims. […]

 

Republicans In Wisc. Pass Curbs on Gov’t Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After all the huffing and puffing, we find that Wisconsin’s Republicans have a spine after all.

Why Did Rep. Paul Ryan Vote for Destructive Union Giveaway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Wisconsin’s Republican Representative Paul Ryan is one of the most well known budget hawks in Congress today.

Union Waste: Retiring Wisc. Teachers Given a Year’s Salary for 30 Day’s Work

As each week rolls onward we see more and more of the outrageous waste and unearned perks that government union teachers in Wisconsin are — ahem — fortunate enough to have gotten because of the unions “negotiating” with Wisconsin Democrats over the years.
