Rep. Jan Schakowsky Thinks Gov’t ‘Creates Jobs’

Posted on October 10, 2011October 11, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Recently Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D, Illinois 9th District), whose husband has been convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, was interviewed by the far left website truthout. You’ll remember truthout for its scoop back in 2009. It was truthout that was the first to report the big news that Karl Rove had been indicted. Unfortunately […]

Obama’s Senate Dems Prove They are NOT Interested in Working With Republicans

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, has just proven that while Obama runs around the country on campaign appearances claiming that he wants to work with Republicans to “pass this bill,” his party has no interest whatsoever in actually doing so. Reid is trying to pass new rules to prevent Republicans form […]

The UAW’s Waning Days?

Posted on September 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Reuters has a very interesting article detailing the fall of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in the modern era. It is a long article, but if you are interested in the way the UAW intends to keep itself relevant to the auto industry on into the future, it is worth the read. It is also […]

Obama’s Mounting Scandals

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Heritage Foundation has a post giving a run down of some of the scandals mounting in the Obama administration… you know, the most ethical administration ever? Yeah. That one. Most of them have to do with Obama’s penchant for crony capitalism. Like the good socialist he is, Obama wants to pick the winners and […]

Solyndra: Green Jobbery, Green Robbery

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

We have come to learn something about our president. He really loves green. But what we can’t quite decipher is if that green is green jobs and energies or just the good old fashioned green of tax money. Whatever the case, it sure is true that the green of U.S. tax dollars is far more […]

Great New Ap That Will be Destroyed By Government

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

There is a new smart phone ap out there that is a pretty good idea. It’s called “CLOO’.” Unfortunately, no matter how good it is there is an absolute certainty that the government — whether local, state, or federal, or even all of them — will destroy this great idea with regulatory red tape. The […]

AFL-CIO Prez: Hey, Remember 9/11? Was a Great Union Moment, Right?

Posted on September 10, 2011September 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

In one of the most disgusting examples of the self-absorption of the union mind set, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka decided that his 9/11 memorial would not be much about 9/11, but would instead be just another excuse to say how great unions are and how evil conservatives are. This isn’t just gauche, but insulting, infuriating, […]

AP Editorializing in the ‘News’ Again

Posted on September 7, 2011September 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

In a recent article on the dissatisfaction of Big Labor once again we see making its way into what is otherwise supposed to be a normal, everyday “news” story, the Associated Press indulging its penchant for using biased labels and left-wing “definitions” in order to push a left-wing agenda on its readers. Even while presenting […]

Warren Buffet Tax Shirker and Hypocrite

Posted on August 30, 2011August 30, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Why is it that every time we meet yet another socialist-loving, left-winger he ends up being an utter hypocrite? This time it’s tax-whiner — and now known tax shirker — Warren Buffet, the investment giant that has been telling anyone that will listen that “the rich” don’t pay enough in taxes. Well, apparently, he’s right, […]

Ohio Businessman Suffers Union Harassment, Property Damage, Violence, Finally a Shooting

Posted on August 17, 2011August 17, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see the un-American criminality of violence-prone union thugs, this time with the disgusting tale of the IBEW carrying on a years long intimidation campaign against a Toledo area, non-union electrical contractor which has progressed from mere harassment to now a shooting. On August 10, the owner of King Electrical Services, John King, […]

CNN/Krugman: A Space Alien Attack Will Save Us (Disses FDR, Wants a Fake War?)

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

CNNs Fareed Zakaria and The New York Times’ Paul Krugman have solved our economic problems. They’ve decided that a space alien attack will save us. Aside from the guffaw factor of space aliens, there was so much wrong with this CNN segment that we must lay them out for discussion. First on the clip is […]

When Losing 120,000 Jobs Is a Good Thing

Posted on August 15, 2011August 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

Normally, hearing that 120,000 American jobs might be about to disappear would be a terrible thing. However, when we’re talking about government jobs that are no longer needed at the post office, it’s cause for celebration because it means billions of taxpayer dollars aren’t going to be thrown down a rathole. The financially strapped U.S. […]

Union Thuggery: More Criminality in Verizon Strike

Posted on August 13, 2011August 12, 2011 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. It’s expected that unionistas don’t respect businesses, of course, but not to respect the safety of children? That’s beyond the pale. Sadly, theft, property destruction, and otherwise breaking the law is no […]

Rick Perry’s NAFTA Superhighway Problem

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Move over Mitt Romney. Rick Perry has a bigger problem to defend from his tenure as governor. Remember the NAFTA Superhighway project? It was to consist of a two-mile wide $184 billion transit system of toll roads, rail lines and utilities from the Texas-Mexico border all the way up to the Minnesota-Canadian border, to make […]

Unions Lose BIG In Wisconsin Recall Efforts

Posted on August 10, 2011August 10, 2011 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 […]

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

Posted on August 5, 2011August 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama administration has been touting new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to be imposed on America’s automobile manufacturers saying that it will save all Americans money at the pumps. Unfortunately, there are all sorts of hidden costs of which the administration isn’t noting, costs that will drive up the price of driving in […]

The Union Job Security Act Equals Endless Road Construction

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Have you noticed how there is more road construction than usual lately, which never seems to end? In some states it has gotten so bad their departments of transportation have set up road closure email alerts on each highway. This is a direct result of President Obama’s stimulus spending. Last summer, Obama proposed spending $50 […]

Awarded $20,000 of Other People’s Money for Being Muslim

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Dave Blount

September 11, 2001 sure turned America into a great place to be Muslim. The latest outrage: A federal jury awarded $20,000 in compensatory damages Wednesday to a Tulsa woman who was not hired to work at a local Abercrombie Kids store because she wears a headscarf, but jurors opted not to award her any punitive […]

Chart: The Few, The Proud, The Employed Americans (It’s Actually Worse Than You Think)

Posted on July 12, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

From The Atlantic. Even though the unemployment rate is technically 9.2%, the employment-population ratio fell to 58.2%, matching its recession low. But it might help to put this number into perspective: just how bad is it? …Prior to this recession, the unemployment-population ratio hasn’t been this low since 1983. At that time, it actually dropped […]

For Every Awful Gov’t Action There is An Equally Awful Reaction, Horses Worst Hit!

Posted on June 26, 2011June 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

There is a jester of a Chicago Alderman named Ed Burke who back in the early 1990s made local radio audiences laugh by his plaintive plea of “what about the horses” on the floor of Chicago’s City Hall. He was worried that horses in downtown Chicago’s carriage trade were somehow being mistreated and so he […]

VIDEO: Herman Cain Raises Voice at Blogger, Holds His Ground

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Herman Cain appeared at last weekend’s RightOnLine conference (June 18) to two standing ovations. His rousing campaign speech apparently hit all the right notes with the conservative audience in attendance. But afterward, in the blogger access room, there were a few sour notes, in one case Cain even angrily yelled at a blogger over a […]

Illinois Congressmen Help Tip in Big Labor Amendment

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On Monday I alerted you all to a jobs-killing, union-favoring amendment being considered in the House of Representatives in Washington, one that needed to be defeated. Unfortunately, the amendment was successful and now, in this dour economy, unions will be able to make matters worse just when we need a shot in the arm. (See

Senator Seeking Answers on NLRB’s Attack on Boeing

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Bailouts for Big Business, Bankruptcies for the Middle Class

Posted on June 4, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

While the Obama administration has been busy bailing out irresponsible financial institutions and big business, individual homeowners have been left with little relief, with many forced to file for bankruptcy. About the only relief Obama has doled out for the rest of us is the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).: Launched in early 2009, it […]

Green Policies a Substitute For Anti-Capitalist, Anti-American Ideas

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Those anti-capitalist college professor types that used to sneer at America and supported the murderous antics of the Soviets had for a short time after the fall of the U.S.S.R. no place in which to invest their anti-American ideals. However, it is clear that they have found a new home: greenism. And so, the old […]

Cash Strapped States Cut Back, Spain Socialists Lose Big

Posted on May 23, 2011 by William Teach

Obama zombies tell us we should be more positive about the economy, ones such as Robert Samuelson at the Washington Post It may be time to move beyond pessimism. Ever since the financial crisis, Americans have wallowed in fear and anxiety. Understandably. Although a recovery – as defined by academic economists – started about two […]

Rep. Peter Roskam on the Ryan Budget Plan: Obama’s Lack of Leadership Gives GOP a Leading Issue

Posted on April 22, 2011April 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people again with a second budget plan itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the […]

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

A county canvas of votes for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice is finished and the result shows that Judge David Prosser, a 12-year veteran of the courts, won reelection over his union-backed opponent.
