A Unionized TSA Will Make Our Airports Less Safe

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Everywhere you turn the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) is getting lambasted. If it isn’t people refusing to abide by TSA directions, it’s stories of a “backlash against body scanners” because of the abusive treatment that TSA employees are doling out to travelers. People are becoming fed up with the whole edifice. But imagine how much […]

 

Obamacare Waivers Prove Policy is a Jobs Killer, Unions Benefit Most

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

111 companies and organizations were granted waivers by Obama’s Dept. of Health and Human Services so that they could get out of having to comply with Obamacare and unions were particularly well rewarded by the HHS with these waivers. Interestingly, there was no great announcement of these waivers issued to the press. The HHS buried […]

 

What We Need to Say, And Say, And Say

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If leftists are good at one thing it is staying on message. Since 2006 when Nancy Pelosi was raised to the dizzying heights of Speaker of the House of Representatives the left has been chanting over and over that the voters wanted the country to take a hard left turn. This month’s election, however, proved […]

 

Sunday Funnies: NY Times Editorial Board Tells GOP To Try Governing

Posted on by William Teach

Liberals have long been having fits on the editorial pages, ranging anywhere from Hissy to Conniption to Unhinged Tools. Saturday’s full feeling of the paper is wacky and unhinged enough to make one go WharrblGarbl! Try Something Hard: Governing Yeah, it can be hard, which is why a man with virtually no real world experience, […]

 

Name That Party: Another Criminal Democrat Goes Unidentified by Old Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every now and again I like to play “name that party.” This is the fun parlor game where you read a story about a politician that has either been indicted, arrested, or imprisoned and try to guess by the story from which party he hails. If you read the story and no political party affiliation […]

 

SEIU’s Shady Political Cash

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Marc Theissen recently asked some very important questions about where the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is getting the mountains of cash that it spends on Democrat political campaigns. He finds that it is coming from foreign sources, but the SEIU is refusing to yield to requests for transparency. If the SEIU is getting the […]

 

BDS Today: Why, Yes, Liberals Are Pushing For Bush And Co. To Be Prosecuted

Posted on by William Teach

Normally, I would entitled this type of post “Friday Stupid,” but, really, these are liberals, and Common Sense (snicker) is ticked off that no one, including Bush, will be prosecuted here in the USA In his memoir (which some wise people have already moved in bookstores to the CRIME section) George W. Bush admitted that […]

 

Sign the Petition: Has ABC/Disney Blacklisted ‘The Path to 9/11’ Forever?

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

During John Stewart’s recent “Rally for Sanity” there were all of the usual signs one would expect the Left wants us to forget about. Signs about “9/11 truth” and the popular “teabagger” slur to Hitler comparisons and references to McCarthy, it’s all terribly predictable and boring. If these people want to do some research about […]

 

Politico Says Florida’s Allen West Will Become the Alan Grayson of the Right?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Lt. Col. Allen West is one of the most stand up guys you’ll ever meet. He first came to the public eye when his interrogation of an Iraqi yielded lifesaving results even as it was a bit unorthodox. His professional handling of that incident put him on a track to run for Florida’s 22nd District […]

 

Minimum Wage-Pushing Democrats Don’t Pay Congressional Interns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Hypocrisy, they name is Democrat. Michigan’s Mackinac Center for Public Policy has laid bare another example of the hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats. In this case while those representatives that are all hot and bothered to push an ever rising minimum wage law are making noise about how inequities exist in the workplace, these same congressmen […]

 

Secret Ballot Protection Wins Big in Four States

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is card check dead? Not completely, but if the recent votes on various state ballot initiatives of four states is any indication it sure seems to be on its last legs. Little noticed by the Old Media, the ballot initiatives of these four states is an important bellwether of how little support Big Labor’s favorite […]

 

Another Reminder: ACORN Isn’t Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn’t dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should. I’ve also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association […]

 

Ted Rall Calls for Armed Socialist Revolution

Posted on by Dave Blount

Enraged at the results of the 2010 election, some leftists are no longer willing to wait quietly through the Gramscian/Fabian process of incremental totalitarianism. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell freely admits he’s a socialist. Tim Wise openly boasts of the progressive plan to obliterate America through demographics. Now Ted Rall — a fixture in the mainstream media […]

 

Obama’s Disastrous Visit to India

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama’s now concluding trip to India seems to have turned out to be a failed or at the very least unhelpful effort. His false starts, unhelpful comments and bad policy moves mark this visit as a bit of a mess. Obama made multiple gaffes not only for India but for his own party […]

 

Al Gore’s Climate Exchange Scheme Utterly Fails… Media Ignores It All

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Gore’s much ballyhooed Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has recently announced that it will no longer be engaging in carbon trading, an activity that was the sole purpose that it was created. This is an utter failure of purpose in global warming hysteria yet the Old Media is almost completely silent on this colossal failure. […]

 

Nanny State Republican Upton Wants House Energy Committee Chair?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Light bulb banning Republican Fred Upton (R, Mich) is angling to become the new GOP chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee as the House begins to look to adjusting to reflect the Republican’s tidal wave election. Upton is a perfect example of the sort of representative that the new GOP congress needs to […]

 

Tuesday Funny: So, How’s That Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame Movie Doing?

Posted on by William Teach

The answer would be: beyond dismal. This bit of fanciful fluff, which attempts to paint Valerie Wilson as just a normal mom before 9am, to some sort of international spy flying around the world putting out fires, being involved in firefights, like James Bond, during the day, opened Friday, November 5th, and, pulled in a […]

 

Hugo Chavez Now Seizing Homes

Posted on by Dave Blount

Hopefully the election results will prevent Comrade Obama from pushing his agenda any further. We don’t want to end up like Venezuela, where Big Government is now confiscating private homes: Chavez promised Sunday to crack down on construction and real estate companies that he accused of unjustly boosting prices, which he labeled “housing fraud.” The […]

 

Democrat’s Anti-Capitalist Net Neutrality Wounded, But Not Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just before election day the liberal blogs were aflutter with news that 95 Democratic Congressional candidates had taken the pledge to support Net neutrality if they were elected. That turned out to be a very big “if.” More like a forlorn hope, if you will. Of those 95 Democrats, the number actually going to Congress […]

 

Saddest Letter Ever From One of Our Military Vets!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Major Mike Banzet of the U.S. Air Force retired this year after more than 20 years in service to his country. He didn’t do so happily, either. To explain himself he published a long letter in the Daily Inter Lake that is a spot on attack on America’s misguided support of the Democratic Party. As […]

 

Obama’s NLRB Appointee Says Unions Need to be Voted in Quicker

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Now that the election is over and we’ve seen in stark light the rebuke that Obama has received, many are wondering if he’ll moderate his far left agenda. But a few movements in the Labor Dept. will disabuse anyone of the notion that Obama intends to drop his left-wing agenda. Leave it to an Obama […]
