Urge Congress to Vote ‘NO’ On Striking $$ Saving Section From Federal Construction Projects Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today there may be a vote on striking a section of H.R. 2055 that will insure that federal construction projects for the military are fairly priced and will save money for the taxpayers. Some representatives want this advantageous section struck out and replaced with a union-favoring provision that will cost the tax payers millions and […]

 

Weiner Still Has Friends Among Liberals

Posted on by Dave Blount

It may be hypocritical for Democrats to tolerate the presence of Anthony Weiner following Nancy Pelosi’s high-toned rhetoric about “draining the swamp,” but it’s more hypocritical still for them to condemn him. Weiner behaved disgustingly, betrayed his wife’s trust, irresponsibly compromised his position of power in a way that opened him up to blackmail, and […]

 

Soros Funded MoveOn.Org Lies About Hacking Fox News Ticker

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What’s the best way to counter what you think are the lies coming from your opponents? Is it to make up lies of your own? Apparently MoveOn.org thinks so. On June 9, MoveOn admitted using lies, subterfuge and fraud to “counter” what they maintain is the wrong-headed thinking of Fox News. I guess to a […]

 

More Arts Funding Boondoggles in Age of Obama Economic Meltdown

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Yes, it’s time for another tale of millions of your tax dollars wasted by the NEA on “art” in America. Supporters of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) like to puff themselves up as saviors of high “art” in lowbrow America. They love to imagine that without their advocacy for spending millions of our […]

 

Obama’s Plan To Make Your Electric Bills Jump 60 Percent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Only a few days ago I wrote about how Obama’s new EPA rules would force Americans to pay up to 60% more on their electric bills. This weekend, the Chicago Tribune said the same thing. Leading off saying, “Consumers could see their electricity bills jump an estimated 40 to 60 percent in the next few […]

 

Obama’s New EPA Rules Would Destroy Our Energy Sector

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Half of America’s energy comes from coal-fired power plants but Obama’s new EPA rules would about destroy the coal industry driving our energy costs through the roof. That’s not all they would do, either. Even Paul Bedard of USNews says that Obama’s new EPA rules will “slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of […]

 

Healthcare: Let The States Decide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The debate about healthcare coming from the Democrats is steeped in purposeful misdirection on one hand and a complete lack of any real knowledge about what Obamacare will even do on the other. It is also a major overreach on a federalism level which is why it is hard to understand why more people aren’t […]

 

More Dept. Of Education Stormtroopers: They Are Armed With Shotguns! (Seriously!)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As William was saying below, there really is more to this story. Yesterday I wrote a short post on the story out of California that was initially reported as a local SWAT raid instigated by the Department of Education on a guy that hadn’t paid his student loans. Naturally I was outraged that the Dept. […]

 

Senator Seeking Answers on NLRB’s Attack on Boeing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Jim DeMint (R, SC) wants some answers as to why Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) thinks it has the power to tell American businesses where they are allowed to build their newest manufacturing facilities. On June 6 Senator DeMint’s office filed a freedom of information request demanding documents connected to the NLRBs decisions […]

 

Hollywood ‘Comedian’ Calls for Assassination of Sarah Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller has a disturbing story this week. It’s all about a so-called Hollywood comedian telling a talk show audience that he would assassinate Sarah Palin were she to become President of the United States. He wasn’t being “funny” either, was he? After all, those Hollywierders that blamed the right for […]

 

Announcing the Running on Empty Tour

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Americans have sent Obama a bill for: $560,699.03 The number above is how much more gas will cost Americans over the next 12 months compared to the price when President Obama took office.

The Earth Is Full, And We Need A Happiness-Driven Growth Model….DERP?

Posted on by William Teach

The NY Times’ Thomas Friedman brings full bore Barking Moonbat Syndrome, adding in so many Liberals insanity models, but, mostly forgets to offer, you know, solutions. This is what Liberals are best at: bitching and whining, but, refusing to offer a path to fixing the problem, as well as refusing to Do Something themselves. Anyhow, […]

 

New York Times Columnist Kristof’s Foolishness

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof is a simpleton. There is really no other way to say it, no gentler phrasing possible, to explain how childish and uncluttered his tiny little mind really is. The latest example of his utter inability to think clearly can be seen in Kristof’s screed against Americans that love America. […]

 

Booster Uses Rape Case to Sell Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This one sure is disgusting. Remember that the chief of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested for sexually assaulting a maid in New York? Well the leftist website AlterNet is using the DSK rapist incident to push unions. Like most leftists no crisis is too bad to exploit for union gains, I guess. […]

 

Breitbart’s Day Of Vindication, Cannonfire’s Day Of Delusion

Posted on by William Teach

There’s much sadness, and insanity, on the port side of the political aisle right now, vis a vis the Weiner affair. And Politico starts us off with In Andrew Breitbart’s up-and-down career as a conservative agitator, it doesn’t get any better than this. Ten days ago, he broke the Rep. Anthony Weiner Twitter scandal on […]

 

Anthony Weiner Admits He Sent the Original Photo, Lied About It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To add to John’s coverage, I live tweeted the presser… Despite the many left-wingers spinning tales to make Weinergate the fault of conservative media mogul, Andrew Breitbart, Democrat New York Representative Anthony Weiner now admits that it was he who sent the original photo, that the underwear-clad person in the photo was indeed a photo […]

 

New ‘Reality’ TV Show To Focus On Race for 2012 Election

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An interesting ad has recently appeared at the New York Craig’s List website which shows exactly how the left will be framing the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The ad asks for a family that represents “racial minorities” to be pitted against a family of “white conservatives.” It’s pretty clear they intend to make this whole […]

 

Liberals Fight To Keep Welfare Recipients Addicted To Drugs

Posted on by John Hawkins

You’d think that stopping welfare checks from being spent on crack would be a relatively non-controversial proposal, but you’d be wrong since there are liberals involved. Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Sunday defended recent legislation that requires adults applying for welfare assistance to undergo drug screenings, saying the law provides “personal accountability.” “It’s not right […]

 

Who’s Watching As White House Collects Emails (For Illegal Campaigning?)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Official White House website has a questionable new addition. When you land on the White House main page a notice fills your screen asking you kindly if you’d like to supply them with your email address so that they can send you “periodic updates from President Obama and other administration officials.” Well, isn’t that […]

 

What to do about Medicare: the heart of the controversy

Posted on by Craig Newmark

Here’s Michael Hiltzik, columnist for the Los Angeles Times: To be charitable, the free-market rationale for sticking enrollees with more of the bill is that as consumers with “skin in the game” they’ll be more discriminating about the services and treatments they demand, thus holding down costs. Unfortunately, the consumer-driven model has been widely discredited: […]

 

Even Lefty Website Mediaite Says Breitbart Did Not Lie about Weinergate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the things that the left has lighted upon to explain away the behavior of Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner with his Weinergate Twitter mess is typical of the way leftists try to misdirect a debate away from the failings of their own side. Instead of keeping focus on the failures of Weiner to put […]

 

Bailouts for Big Business, Bankruptcies for the Middle Class

Posted on 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 […]
