Crossposted from TabithaHale.com I got to Jacmel today. We left Miami early this morning and flew in to Port au Prince. I’m not sure what I expected — but the scene at the airport was crazy. I was told that it wasn’t all that different from normal. The gates were completely swamped with people — […]

Given all the recent controversy over the research on global warming, one would think that the media would be all over Al Gore to get his reaction. But no. They are leaving him alone. But the public? Not so much: Al Gore won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. But […]

You go, girl! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue’s massive role in this election year. Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the […]

In my first post here on Right Wing News, I want to thank John for affording me this opportunity.:  I’ve been a long time reader and admirer of his work, and when I saw him at CPAC I couldn’t pass up the opportunity ask about contributing. A little about myself: I am 26 years old […]

My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up! Enjoy FREE audio and webcam highlights from the week in conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and more. Here’s what came in after my deadline: Hugh Hewitt played the now-infamous “wearing her sister’s dentures” clip from the Blair House health care summit for […]

Is the vast maze of U.S. law and regulation, and the intricately interwoven web of bureaucratic and departmental turf, and the insidiously spreading take-to-give addiction of our elected leaders an “imminent” threat to American liberty? Most of us say yes. The next question is: do enough of us think that? Or too many of us? […]

It’s an eerie thing watching the amateur video of Dawn Brancheau’s last few minutes alive (available here). And see the New York Times, “Video Shows SeaWorld Trainer With Orca Moments Before Her Death“: A local news station in Florida has obtained video shot by a tourist from New Hampshire at SeaWorld in Orlando on Wednesday […]

Remember HillBuzz last month, describing Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, et al.? Honestly, we thought the extent of the attacks would be more of the same thing these people usually do, which is to say bad things about this site, to fill our voicemails up with nasty messages, to send more hatemail to our email telling […]

I don’t think the summit turned out quite the way Pres. Obama thought it would, and this is the reason why. Let me try something out on you: This health-care summit was a bad idea for the Democrats for this reason: They have long benefited from a perception — a perception greatly abetted by the […]

From Andrew Breitbart, “Max Blumenthal, You’re Being Booger-Boarded“: Max Blumenthal has an amazing thesis: All conservatives and Republicans are beneath contempt. He also has an amazing line of work. He is underwritten by various media organs to prove his thesis …. Max gallivanted around CPAC looking for prey. He was treated with respect as he […]

I’ve been watching and/or listening to the health care summit today and it became fairly obvious from the opening bell that there wasn’t going to be much of anything worthwhile or substantive accomplished – not that I’m surprised. 5 hours into it, it has been mostly the exchange of talking points. Right now I’m forced […]

OMG!! You cannot make this stuff up! From Max Blumenthal, the idiot race-baiter who was literally destroyed at CPAC, “Feeling the Hate at CPAC 2010 With Andrew Breitbart, Hannah Giles and the Crazy Mob” (via Memeorandum): While I was filming at CPAC for a forthcoming project, I was confronted by Hannah Giles, Andrew Breitbart and […]

The push for international support for tougher sanctions against Iran seem to be going well with our good friends in Russia: Russia will not support “crippling” sanctions against Iran, including any that may be slapped on the Islamic Republic’s banking or energy sectors, a senior Russian diplomat said Wednesday. […] “We are not got going […]

This was my favorite part of Glenn Beck’s speech at CPAC. I didn’t hear it being widely discussed; so I wanted to get it out there: Now, the Tiger Woods’ apology note: Tiger Woods — Tiger Woods said this — (reading) I knew my actions were wrong. Wouldn’t it be great to hear this from […]

From the Los Angles Times, “Military Chiefs Voice Concern Over Ending ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’“: In a sign of possible differences among top military officials, Army and Air Force chiefs voiced concern Tuesday about ending a ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces while the country is in the middle of two wars. […]

Remember the Iraqi war? You don’t hear much about it because we succeeded, and the Democrats, who are in charge right now, nor the media want to recognize that since they declared it lost so many times. This is one soldier’s voice: (emphasis mine) I am not naive. I understand that there are individuals who […]

I’m doing the Jaz McKay show at 4:07 PM EST. You can listen here.

It was just as much fun as I thought it would be. I got to meet a bunch of online friends that I hadn’t yet met in person, especially the RFCRadio guys and it was a blast! Let’s start with some pictures!  The first pic is me and Thomas LaDuke at the RFCRadio booth. Next […]

You know, while this is serious business, rebutting the left’s endless allegations of racism, I’ve been mostly mocking so far in my series on “racist movies.” But it’s beyond bothersome that “Black Hawk Down” is included and ranked at #27. And here’s the caption: Ridley Scott’s account of the 1993 “Battle of Mogadishu” drew heavy […]

Again, I have to show my appreciation for the Barack Obama. About a year ago, I vividly recall watching Glenn Beck on CNN and thinking, “This guy should be bigger than Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. It’s a shame he’s stuck at CNN. Beck, tonight’s keynote speaker, has been around for several years – but […]

On the question of who should be the Republican nominee for President in 2012, the following are the top candidates, in order: Ron Paul Mitt Romney Sarah Palin Tim Pawlenty Mike Pence Newt Gingrich Mike Huckabee Well, Ron Paul has managed to rally his supporters again, but it looks good for Mitt Romney. It’s interesting […]

Via Insty and Moe Lane, if the unions can carry torches and pitchforks, can Tea Partiers start heating up the tar? Carrying pitchforks and torches a group of labor unions and health care groups marched down Church Street in Hartford Tuesday night to let the state’s largest business lobby know that they want health care […]

The Washington Post has an obituary, “Alexander Haig, Former Secretary of State, Dies at 85” (via Memorandum). I think Haig was a fine man, but I doubt he could ever live down the ridicule from his statment in 1981, following the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, that “As of now, I am in control […]
