My weekly Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND! Naturally, Rush Limbaugh‘s health scare is the top story; however, there’s still news and highlights from other hosts, like Dennis Prager, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt and more. Check out the FREE audio and video highlights for the week. In other talk radio […]

In the interest of fairness, I’m sure, the TSA has withdrawn subpoenas they served to two bloggers who posted about the TSA’s new, post-Christmas Day Underwear Bomber security protocols. Story background here. The new developments: Just days after serving subpoenas to two travel bloggers, the Transportation Security Administration withdrew the subpoenas late Thursday, saying its […]

We’re all familiar with that Mayan legend that says the world will end in 2012, right? That’s why we’re all practicing driving our cars out of moving airplanes. Well: Forget 2012. As far as many Mexicans are concerned, the ancient Mayas were being generous: the sky’s actually going to fall next year. Why? Because it’s […]

At Big Government, Dana Loesch reports on “The Most Underreported Stories of 2009.” It’s a phenomenal essay, and breathtaking in peeling back the journalistic malpractice in the country today. But while Dana discusses Fort Hood and the home-grown Islamist threat, it’s clear that the administration’s gotten a free ride on its disastrous foreign policy altogether. […]

She’s the one who’s ultimately going to fall on her sword, I believe. Her Sunday appearances were simply too poor a reflection on Obama. And Obama’s rhetoric has been too harsh for everyone to survive. It isn’t as if she has that much pertinent experience, she was a manager and a political hack, at best. […]

The media is beginning and ending a year as shamefully in the bag for Obama as they’ve ever been.: Meanwhile, Obama pal Ayers is in Egypt with Code Pink and the hard Left that raised him: up has abandoned Obama. One report via RBO and WND, with additional info at Big Government. And the group once known […]

On Monday, I’ll be releasing the 8th annual “20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2008” (You can see the 2007 list here). What I’m hoping you can do is suggest some liberals who deserve to make the list along with what they’ve done in 2009 to merit making it. Suggest away!

That’s not my title, actually, it’s Ace’s: “The Left’s Permanent War on the War on Terrorism.” I can claim a little originality here, since my Spencer Ackerman post from the other day is pretty much the font for Ace’s philosophizing, and William Jacobsen’s work as well. (See, “Leftists Spin Attempted Northwest Airlines Attack as Evidence […]

How special. Video below via Teagan Goddard. The network that unceasingly told us sex was a personal issue during the Clinton years has suddenly discovered the error of: its ways after inviting John Ensign on to talk about the recent attempted terror attack. Ensign’s issues aside, are we supposed to believe this is simply good journalism […]

Yeah, yeah. I know. Both sides do it, right? No matter how many times radicals say it, there remains an unmatched demonological death-wish culture on the left. DaTechGuy predicted it yesterday, with reference to Rush Limbaugh. See, “Let’s see how nice liberals can be…“: …now that Rush apparently is in the hospital with chest pains… […]

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com Hey y’all! quick run down on what’s coming up in the health care reform battle. Not a lot going on, but on Jan. 6th when the House comes back, it’s going to be messy. Don’t get lazy now. ;)

In the aftermath of the Flight 253 bomb attempt, the White House spent time and money on a political blame game: [A]s it became clear internally that the Administration had suffered perhaps its most embarrassing failure in the area of national security, senior Obama White House aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod […]

MSNBC did a pretty mediocre list of the decade’s best political lines. I think Right Wing News can do better, but to do it, I’m going to need your help. Suggest some of the best (and worst) political lines from the last decade in the comments section.

Meet the late Sarah Horowitz, child of political activist David Horowitz, who managed to fuse the painful lessons of her father’s life with a mystical Judaism to complete the task he never could: showing how the Left could save itself from self-destruction. In 1956 a teenage David Horowitz suffered a wound which would pain him […]

Oh how times change. Remember when the Obama administration decided they weren’t going to use the term “terrorism” any more? From now on it was going to be “an overseas contingency operation?” As M. Zuhdi Jasser (president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy) at NRO points out,: “the President has finally learned to use the […]

The cached version is here, “Passengers Took Security Into Their Own Hands.” Charles Johnson spends his times trolling around the Internet, looking for freaked out “wingnut hysteria,” and here we have LGF dismissing Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s radical Islamist ties. This was on Saturday, and by that time we already knew the suspect’s deep ties to […]

I’m having a hard time taking seriously this article by Harvard’s Jessica Stern. Her essay is titled, “Mind Over Martyr: How to Deradicalize Islamist Extremists.” Considering all that’s happened in the last week — and not counting Fort Hood and earlier incidents — I’m convinced that the Ivory Tower is a bit removed from what’s […]

Bristol Palin is sueing Levi Johnston for sole custody of their son, Tripp. A judge overturned a previous ruling that the case remain closed to the public. Really? Seriously? Who wants to make bets that the judge is a Democrat? I bet she just giggled over the fact that she had the power to drag […]

From ABC News, “Did Obama Respond Too Late to Terror Plot? Critics Assail President? Democrats Say the President Reacted Appropriately, Security Reviews Are Important“: The Obama administration has come under fire from critics who said the president waited too long to address the nation publicly about the Christmas Day terror plot, and that his administration […]

The United States has always had the best weapons systems in the world. The billions of dollars spent in the Department of Defense have insured America’s dominance in this field. Currently, two systems are being tested that I find simply amazing. The first one is lasers. The Air Force recently test-fired its Advanced Tactical Laser […]

Warner Todd Huston, my colleague at Right Wing News, has written an important analysis of the challenges for the tea party movement in 2010. See, “Tea Parties: The Biggest Mistake We’ll Make in 2010.” I’m especially interested in this passage: There was no unifying single goal of the Tea Partiers and no agency or party […]

My latest American Spectator column: When Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to detonate an explosive aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day, liberals were quick to warn against the clear and present danger. It wasn’t the threat of al Qaeda-trained bombers blowing up Detroit-bound planes that concerned them. Rather, liberals feared that Americans might blame […]

Alternate headline: Blogger sees Democrats pulling facial muscles trying not to laugh. The story: WASHINGTON — Republican senators attacking the cost of a Democratic health care bill showed far different concerns six years ago, when they approved a major Medicare expansion that has added tens of billions of dollars to federal deficits. Medicare Part D: […]

From the Los Angeles Times, “Deaths reported amid chaos and violence in Iran“: The Iranian capital erupted in massive and fiery morning-to-dusk protests as tens of thousands of demonstrators clashed with security forces on the occasion of an important Shiite Muslim holiday. Several witnesses told The Times that Iranian security forces opened fire with live […]

Aren’t you thrilled? In the wake of the terrorism attempt Friday on a Northwest Airlines flight, federal officials on Saturday imposed new restrictions on travelers that could lengthen lines at airports and limit the ability of international passengers to move about an airplane. The government was vague about the steps it was taking, saying that […]

William Jacobson wrote an important post this morning on the leftist reaction to the attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines 253. See, “Terrorist Attacks Plane, Think Progress Attacks Pete Hoekstra.” Checking William’s essay we find that the first reaction of radical bloggers is to deny conservatives a partisan advantage on national security. Steve Benen’s entry was […]

Yes, we’re talking about Charlie Sheen, who got arrested on Christmas morning in Aspen after: police say he got: into a fight with his wife, who reportedly blew a .13 on her Breathalyzer test. Heck of a way for the mother of infant twins to celebrate the holidays, huh? But remember: that: this is: a woman who had the questionable […]

I went out to get a couple of things this morning. This is Santa’s house at South Coast Plaza (can you see Santa down there, at center, posing for pictures with visitors?): The full photo-essay is over at American Power.

We’ve got this rule at our house: no whispering in front of other people. You want to say something privately? Go someplace private. Whispering is rude. That rule is being broken. Over, and over, and over again. And my wife — she who made the rule in the first place — is one of the […]
