“Letter to a Liberal Friend”

Posted on by Craig Newmark

Great. One of the classmates I contacted this year is a Washington tort lawyer. He told me how he recently represented an entrepreneur who got a permit from the Department of Interior to develop a coal mine in Tennessee, spent $3 million developing infrastructure, and was then told by the bureaucrats that they had changed […]

Much of what you eat, wear, read, play with, drive, and ride gets to your hometown store via a truck of some kind so the open road trucking industry — as well as local, short distance haulers — is a vital link between all of us and the necessities of life. That is why the […]

 

War Drums Beating: Anti-American George Soros Promoting Anti-Americanism in Central Asia

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Richard Miniter has a very interesting article in Forbes about the damage anti-American millionaire George Soros is causing to both Central Asia and the foreign policy of the United States. Soros is an interesting if risible figure. For good reason his name is a boogieman name for we on the right. Truthfully, though, most on […]

 

Lib Activist Physically Assaults GOP Lawmaker in Wisconsin, Media Silent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A known liberal activist that has for months been stalking several Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin, verbally abusing them, has finally crossed the line into a physical attack. So… where is the Old Media to chronicle this assault? Sadly, no where to be seen. On Sept. 14 left-wing activist Miles Kirstan entered The Inn at 22 […]

Incompetence: Obama Even Loses the Name of His Jobs Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Texas Representative Louie Gohmert is a genius. He’s absconded with the name of Obama’s jobs bill — the American Jobs Act of 2011 –and used it for his own tax-cutting bill. Is it a Republican dirty trick? How can Gohmert do this? Because Obama is either incompetent or cynical. Here is the thing, either Obama […]

 

Solyndra: Green Jobbery, Green Robbery

Posted on 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 […]

 

Obama Now Trying to Intimidate Consultants and PR Firms of Businesses

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

True to form, even as he says he wants to cut regulations, Obama’s regulatory army is marching hard against business and this week the president’s Labor Dept. has unleashed yet another salvo in order to hurt the business sector. Before I start this explanation of yet another Obama powergrab through his powers to regulate, may […]

 

Great New Ap That Will be Destroyed By Government

Posted on 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 […]

 

New Worry: RFID Tracking Chips in Firearms?

American gun owners and […]

 

Union Members Take Hostages, Destroy Property: But Remember, Tea Party is ‘Dangerous’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After months of accusations that it is the Tea Party movement that is somehow “dangerous” to America, much of such rhetoric coming from union members and their supporters, we get union members of the Longshoremen storming the Port of Longview, Washington taking hostages, destroying property, and generally acting like lawless thugs. Imagine what the news […]

 

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

Posted on 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, […]

 

Video: Obama Calls Lincoln ‘Founder of Republican Party’?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During his faux “jobs” speech on Sept 8, President Obama went off script for a brief sojourn into history to reveal to one and all that he hasn’t a clue about the subject. I say off script because these words are not in the prepared text… Sorry, big guy, but Abe Lincoln was not the […]

 

Irrelevant Jobs Speech: The Presidential Speech No One Attended

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama gave his much delayed “jobs” speech on Thursday, one he’s been promising since 2008. Unfortunately for this president, few people much cared. In fact, the most damning indictment about how irrelevant this speech and this president is was seen during the speech in the House gallery, a space that was, unlike any other […]

 

Actress Mila Kunis: Middle America Stupid for Not Loving Obama

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is always amusing to hear actors and actresses venture into the unfamiliar territory of politics when interviewers are cruel enough to broach such issues. Sadly, actress Mila Kunis is no exception to that Hollyweird tendency toward guffaw inducing political bloviating. Naturally and in keeping with most of the rest of the industry, in a […]

 

Lefty Protesters: Here’s a Poll to Help Us Find Out What We are REALLY Mad About

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I had to laugh when I found out about the left’s newest protest du jour. They are hopin’ mad, don’t cha know? So mad that they are busy organizing marches, protests, civil disobedience, and all sorts of activities to protest it all. But amusingly they aren’t even sure what it is they are mad about. […]

 

Live Tweeting Obama’s Jobs Speech: More Big Government Boondoggles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I often do, I live Tweeted Obama’s address to the joint session of congress, but for sure this speech was little else but yet another plea from Obama for giant piles of government money to be thrown around in a bacchanalia of Keynesian spending. He may not have used the newly verboten word “stimulus,” […]

 

USA Today Hit Piece on Christian Defense Attorney, Jay Sekulow

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

USA Today published a story recently by Bob Smietana of the Nashville newspaper The Tennessean attacking the integrity and work of well-known Christian First Amendment defense attorney Jay Sekulow that is shocking for what is left out.

Obama Hypocrisy: From ‘Talking to Each Other in a Way That Heals,’ to Dismissing ‘Kabuki Theater’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama is nothing less than a hypocrite on his admonitions over public discourse and the latest example of this truth lies in his refusal to condemn the violence-tinged language of Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa not to mention his similar silence on the obscene rhetoric of many of the leading members of the Congressional Black […]

 

AP Editorializing in the ‘News’ Again

Posted on 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 […]

 

You know It’s Bad When Even Leftist British Comedian Says England ‘No Longer English’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Wow. You know it’s gotten bad in the U.K. when a left-wing actor and British icon is now saying that his country has lost its essential Englishness. It looks like Monty Python alum John Cleese has “funny walked” his way into a bit of a controversy over his remarks, and this time from the left […]

 

Colorado School Places Saudi Arabian Flag Above U.S. Flag

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An elementary school in Fort Collins, Colorado came under fire last week for having placed in the school a smaller sized Saudi Arabian flag in a higher, more prominent position that the flag of the United States.

Proof: Obama WAS Trying to Use Joint Speech One-Upmanship As Political Ploy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The American left and its handmaidens in the Old Media spent 24 hours desperately trying to spin Obama’s attempt to schedule a joint session of Congress on the same day as the GOP debate as an example of how the GOP is refusing to work with him. These leftists categorically deny that Obama was simply […]
