There’s a Memeorandum thread on this one, so I thought I’d share over here. See, “Rachel Maddow Reports From Kandahar; or, Just When You Thought DOD Got Beat Up on Rolling Stone and McChrystal…” Folks are getting a kick out of Maddow’s hijab. Also at Blazing Cat Fur, Doug Ross, Moonbattery, Weasel Zippers, and WyBlog.

There seems to be quite a few lies being spread about the new standards adopted recently by the Texas State Board of Education. They are addressed here, especially the lies regarding Hispanics. The Hispanics are well represented and honored. If you care about the truth. You need to watch this video:

Yeah, well, thing’s ain’t what they used to be. Marvin Gaye’s 1971 hit “became one of his most poignant anthems of sorrow at the world dealing with the environment.” And I imagine to the eco-extremist left, the Obama administration’s blatant hypocrisy on offshore drilling is bit of a sorrow as well. From WSJ: Less than […]

The race between Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge and Republican Renee Ellmers in North Carolina’s 2nd district has garnered national attention thanks to Etheridge’s taped outburst on a Washington D.C. sidewalk. It also has personal significance for me.:  An: interview I had with Ellmers was my very first and: my friend and distant cousin, Lorie Byrd, works with […]

The place: Hebron, an Israeli-occupied Palestinian city. Or so I read. The event: Remember a few weeks back when a video featuring a group of U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan performing their own version of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video stormed the Internet? Well, it looks like they’ve got some competition from their counterparts in the […]

Or maybe I should ask: are goals hurting futbol? Those Germans, you know, in the World Cup, they’re scoring an awful lot. That can’t be good for the game. Another question: is all the rain we got in June hurting the corn crop? Are muscles bad for competitive bodybuilders? Should Usain Bolt slow the hell […]

A few weeks ago I reported on the Texas GOP convention, so I thought it would be interesting to look back at the history of these conventions. On this day in 1854, the Republicans held it’s first state convention. How did this first GOP convention come about? A groundswell of reaction to the pro slavery […]

This is something you might have missed last week, but it is vitially important in understanding this administration’s disconnect with radical Islam. The Fort Hood shooter, the Christmas Day bomber, the Times Square attacker. On May 13, the following exchange occurred at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee: Rep. Lamar Smith (R.,Texas): Do you […]

A day-after holiday roundup from American Power. At left is a good friend of mine, doing a little ’60s-revival partying for the 4th: See: * “Tea Parties and the Constitution.” * “Man Blows Off Arm While Launching Illegal Fireworks.” * “Matthew Rothschild at The Progressive – ‘I Don’t Believe in Patriotism’.” * “Queers Against Israeli […]

As I’ve now mentioned a couple of times, tea party patriots are arguing — at an increasing clip — for activists to get in the business of political conversion. The San Juan Capistrano event on Saturday had just a bit more of an “outreach” feel to it, and recall too that Lt. Col. Allen West […]

And not just ObamaCare, but government programs in general. See, the problem is: people have trouble accessing health care. Thus, we need government programs. Those government programs will grant the access that the free market failed to grant. That’s how it works. Government provides. And yet, we get stories like: Emergency rooms, the only choice […]

Original post at 73wire.com In an interview with the Huffington Post, Democrat House Speaker called for an end to the Senate filibuster for the new Congress convening in January 2011.:  But just how realistic is San Fran Nan?:  And will she think the same if when the Republicans take over Congress?:  Surely she must remember […]

I almost spoke too soon. Just after mentioning that I hadn’t found too many anti-American blogs dissing 4th of July, here we have Zandar the Stupid smearing traditional Americans as racist for opposing the left’s move to create an unemployment benefit entitlement. Paul Krugman slams folks like this as “heartless” and “clueless.” But Sir Stupid […]

I’m on vacation all this week. While I’m out, some of RWN’s week-end bloggers will be filling in. Make sure to give ’em a warm welcome!

A roundup of 4th of July posts at American Power. * Read the Declaration of Independence here: “Independence Day 2010.” * Holiday thoughts for the minority party under Obamanation: “Political Opposition.” * A fantastic 4th of July Twitter find: “Best Politically Incorrect Tweep Evah!” * On the farce of modern Supreme Court nominations: “Elena Kagan […]

Huge tea party entry over at my place, “San Juan Capistrano Tea Party, July 3, 2010.” And what was unusual was the run-in I had with some progressive America- and Israel-bashers. From my post: I was distracted from some of the speakers by a group of radicals that was hanging out by the street. Members […]

You don’t look a day over 240. In celebration, Ted Nugent, playing the Star Spangled Banner: And check this out from TedNugent.com: On Independence Day, the AmazonMP3 store is having a very special one day sale! 30 different tracks from Ted Nugent – in a special compilation called Happy Defiance Day Everyday – will be […]

This comes to you without so much as a trace of novelty, if you’ve been living anywhere apart from another planet, or at the bottom of the Gulf, for the last ten years. But the people in the United States — indeed, all of the civilized countries across the globe — have been bitterly fractured […]

Good news: the ozone layer is growing back to what it was, pre-human screwitupititis: While the hole in the Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly healing, its recovery might have a downside, scientists say: Climate change could change wind patterns and send ozone from high in the atmosphere down to the surface, where it is […]

Well, it’s the weekend’s leaderboard extravaganza. I’ve got a couple of posts up over at American Power. See, “Liz Cheney Statement on Michael Steele Resignation,” and “Michael Steele Caught on Tape: ‘War of Obama’s Choosing’” (VIDEO).

You’ve probably seen this exchange between Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Awesome) and SCOTUS nominee Elena Kagan already: Coburn asks: If I wanted to sponsor a bill, and it said Americans, you have to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day. And I got it through Congress and it’s now the law of the land. Gotta […]

At Michelle’s (via): In his immigration speech on Thursday, President Obama heralded America as a “nation of immigrants” defined not by blood or birth, but by “fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.” If only it were so. Left-wing academics and activists spurned assimilation as a common goal long ago. Their […]

From my good friend, Maj. Steven Givler, “New Home for My Paintings.” Lots more fabulous paintings at the link. And on this holiday weekend I take pride in reposting Steven’s e-mail to me from April 4, 2009: Sir, Thank you for your blog. I’ve often wondered lately whether my more than 20 years of military […]

And I get a lot of flak from leftists for posting Sports Illustrated swimsuit hotties? Go figure. At Althouse, “Andres ‘Piss Christ’ Serrano as a guest judge on “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.” And click through to the original article. Some of the works include things like men performing sexual self-gratification. And you […]

If you are not a fan of Thomas Sowell, you should be. A few years ago, I read his book, “Vision of the Anointed.” There was one particular section of the book that stuck with me, and it is especially relevant considering the speech President Obama gave yesterday in Racine, Wisconsin. Here is what the […]

Original post at 73wire.com The reflexive nature of the press to defend and attack any critic of President Obama is eerily statist. I found an interesting read via the HotAir headlines: from McClatchy, which defends Obama’s action of not waiving the Jones Act of 1920.:  While the article brings up good points, I will admit, it […]

Via Glenn Reynolds, at Powerline, “A Citizen Takes Matters Into His Own Hands“: Plus, at Founding Bloggers, “Non-Violent Rioting In Toronto: A Brief Round-Up“: Below is a brief roundup of some of the Progressive-Marxist non-violent rioting that took place over the weekend in Toronto.
