Union Fights to Force You into Obamacre While Getting Waivers for Itself

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of Obama’s biggest donors. Curiously enough, the SEIU is also one of the more than 700 unions and corporations that have gotten waivers from the Obama administration to get out from under some of the oppressive rules of Obamacare. Yet, even as they have been allowed to […]

Head Of NC DOT Wants Citizen Investigated For Speaking Up

Posted on February 4, 2011February 4, 2011 by William Teach

From my hometown of Raleigh, NC, we learn that dissent is a means to a criminal investigation David N. Cox says he was merely exercising his right to petition the government, but a state Department of Transportation official has raised allegations that Cox committed a misdemeanor: practicing engineering without a license. Cox and his North […]

First Obamacare Waivers Now EPA Rules Waivers

Posted on February 3, 2011February 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama Administration is quickly becoming the most corrupt administration in American history. Recently we reported about the mounting number of waivers that Obama is giving his union pals and union supporters so that they can get away from having to suffer under his Obamacare law and now the president’s jobs-killing greenhouse gas rules levied […]

Senate’s Repeal Healthcare Vote Failure Further Makes Lie to Term ‘Conservative Democrat’

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Newly minted West Virginia Senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, ran for office denigrating Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system with his Obamacare law. Tonight he and other so-called “conservative Democrats” in the Senate got a chance to prove that they were, indeed, as conservative as they claimed to be by voting to repeal Obamacare. […]

Romney: Nope, I’m NOT Apologizing for Romneycare!

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

After all these years in politics, Mitt Romney has finally found something he isn’t going to flip flop on — so far, anyway. Romney recently started a tour to kick off the release of his latest book and when asked if he was sorry he ever signed his name on the Massachusetts healthcare law derided […]

British Police Afraid of Local Kids, Soon to Come to the USA?

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

A British police chief has prohibited his own officers from patrolling a local park after dark because he and his fellows are afraid of the punks and trouble makers that infest the place at night. Thanks to a self-destructive and blind obeisance to PCism Britain has truly become an asylum run by the inmates. But […]

Senate Republicans Call for Vote on a Repeal of Obamacare for Wednesday

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) announced on Tuesday that he intends to bring to the floor a vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid certainly does not want this vote to occur but even so it is highly doubtful that McConnell can get the 60 votes needed to sustain […]

Video: NY Senator Chuck Schumer Doesn’t Know the Three Branches of Government?

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

My latest little video shows that the honorable moron from New York, Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer, doesn’t even know the three branches of our federal government. These arrogant cusses have the gal to tell us how to live our lives but they don’t even know how our own government even works??

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

More on the waivers for Obamacare. A look at the president’s waiver list reveals he’s given waivers to 28 food workers union locals so that they can get out from under the oppressive, budget busting requirements in his take over of our nation’s medical system. Curiously enough, the PAC for those unions gave Obama $673,309 […]

A Snap Shot of Congressional Arrogance

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

POLITICO posted a piece last week that shows the arrogance of our duly elected Senators in Washington D.C. After reading this piece, one gets the impression that this good old boys club is not only one that not just anyone is allowed to join but one that finds itself beyond even the voters that put […]

Remember: Obamacare is Great… Well Unless You Are a Union, Then You Don’t Have to Suffer Under it

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

If you’ll recall, Big Labor was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare. Big Labor was insistent that Obama’s take over of our nation’s healthcare was the best thing since sliced bread, to be sure. But once Obamacare got passed into law, we’ve learned that dozens of unions have sought exemptions to get out from […]

Don’t Waste Any More Money On A High Speed Rail Fail

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

Over at the Boston Globe, execrable liberal columnist Derrick Z. Jackson is making the case for wasting incredible amounts of taxpayer money on highspeed rail, WHEN PRESIDENT Obama proposed in his State of the Union address that 80 percent of Americans should have access to high-speed rail within 25 years, he drew laughter by saying, […]

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]

As We Lose Our Jobs, Unionized CA College Profs Want More

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Without question we are living through the worst economic times in generations and Barack Obama’s policies aren’t helping alleviate the pain. Pain is, indeed, the watchword, too. Nearly everyone knows someone that has lost his job. Nearly everyone has lost money for their retirement. Everyone is feeling the pain. And no one is very sanguine […]

ObamaCare Fallout: Child-Only Policies Dropped In 34 States

Posted on January 28, 2011 by William Teach

Buried on the The Politicos front page, in small type between a story about Obama fires up the health team and HHS: Health reform already working, we get Child only health plans endangered Health insurers in 34 states have stopped selling child-only insurance policies as a result of the health reform law, and the market […]

Lefties Trying Preemptive Assault on Texas True The Vote Event

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing website Talking Points Memo (known as TPM) is worried that the Tea Party-backed True The Vote effort in Harris County, Texas — home of the City of Houston — is going to successfully enlist Texans to join an effort to “true the vote” by battling vote fraud. Because of this fear, TPM has […]

Unions Realizing They Have Bad Reputation, Launch PR Campaign

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

So, what is the first thing that you do when you find out that everyone hates you? What do you do when you finally come to terms with the fact that you have the worst reputation possible? Do you sit yourself down and reassess your actions to try and pinpoint why everyone thinks you are […]

Planned Parenthood Funding A Defacto Abortion Tax on America

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

With the anniversary of Roe v. Wade it is the perfect time to highlight the fact that the millions upon millions of federal tax dollars that have gone to fund the abortion mill organization Planned Parenthood is a defacto abortion tax levied on the American taxpayers. In 2008 alone, Planned Parenthood received nearly $350 million […]

Jaw, Jaw and Bromides: Obama’s State of His Next Campaign for President Address

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

I sat through President Obama’s 2011 State of the Union Address last night. During the event I live Tweeted the whole thing (You can read that all at http://twitter.com/#!/warnerthuston) and ended up with an empty feeling and a headache. Obama’s address was long on calls for spending, filled with bromides, and weighted with jaw, jaw […]

Shameful Behavior: U.S. Senate Continues Spending Money in Secret

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently for at least ten years our U.S. Senators have been creating operating rules that allow them to get out of doing one of their most important jobs: actually voting on legislation. As it happens ninety three percent of the approved measures that have come out of the Senate never got a roll call vote. […]

One of Obama’s Biggest Donors Now His ‘Economics Adviser’

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Last week President Obama appointed the CEO of General Electric, Jeffery Immelt, to head up his Economic Advisory Board. This is, as Freedomworks’ Tabitha Hale wrote, “an obvious rent seeking arrangement between Big Government and Big Business.” This could not have been a more clear product of a crony corporatist relationship, and it is one […]

Arkansas And N.Y. Look To Play Nanny With Distracted Pedestrians

Posted on January 25, 2011January 25, 2011 by William Teach

Having solved all their actual issues, it’s time for a big dose of nannyism Lawmakers in at least two states are looking to pull the plug on texting pedestrians and iPod-obsessed runners, claiming their diverted attention borders on disaster.

Rahm OFF the Ballot for Mayor? But May Have until Feb. 15 To File as Write In Candidate

Posted on January 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

As reported earlier, Rahm Emanuel has been thrown off the ballot by a decision by an Illinois Appellate Court stating that Emanuel did not satisfy the residency requirement since he did not live in Chicago over the last year. This presents several major problems for Emanuel’s candidacy. First of all, it seems pretty sure that […]

Amanpour Fails to Understand History, Says Political Climate Just Like the 1960s

Posted on January 24, 2011January 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The inch deep analysis that we get from the illiterati in the left-media shows that they have agendas, sure, but no grasp of history, logic, or facts. No better example of the facile nature of the Old Media can be had than Christiane Amanpour and on ABC News she strutted her imbecilic excuse for historical […]

Chicago Media Ignores African-American Rally Against Same-Sex Marriage

Posted on January 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that a rally held by a coalition of Chicago-area black pastors that gathered to warn Illinois against same-sex marriage and civil unions was ignored by the Old Media in Chicago. Still, as unsurprising as it it, it’s a bit galling that this event went unreported on. The Illinois Family […]

Comparing apples and oranges — federal projects old and new

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Bookworm

Rumor has it that the President is going to use the State of the Union address to call for more government spending. Much more government spending: President Barack Obama will call for new government spending on infrastructure, education and research in his State of the Union address Tuesday, sharpening his response to Republicans in Congress […]

The Left’s New Civil-sorship

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Let’s be civil, OK? I mean, let’s tone it down out there. You people need to rise to a better, more civil discourse. I know this because the entire left wing in America today is telling us this (even as Democrat Steve Cohen is calling anyone that opposes him a Nazi). We need to get […]

Yank the Dipstick… Sheriff Dupnik Recall Effort Begins in Pima County

Posted on January 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

I was wondering how long this would take, but apparently my wait is over. A recall petition to oust Clarence Dupnik, the partisan, leaky-mouthed Sherif of Pima County, Arizona, is finally underway. Dipstick… er, I mean Dupnik, is now infamous for instantly blaming Fox News, Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and all conservatives for the […]

Video: What The Heck Happened to the Anti-War Movement?

Posted on January 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Remember those hoary days of raucous protest when anti-war protesters sent thousands of people into the streets sometimes with only a days notice? Now consider this: have you seen any of these giant protests since 2008 presidential election? Yeah, no one else has, either. Do you wonder why that is? Well, it’s because the anti-war […]
