It’s not a particularly pretty number Wind farm ‘needs 700 times more land’ than fracking site to produce same energy A wind farm requires 700 times more land to produce the same amount of energy as a fracking site, according to analysis by the energy department’s recently-departed chief scientific advisor. Prof David MacKay, who stood […]
Ferguson is yet another example of how the media no longer reports the news but rather puts out politically motivated stories that suits the Liberal agenda. White cop shooting an unarmed African American is a classic boiler plate template the media loves to go with. And the Michael Brown shooting allowed the media to […]
You can’t blame this on the police being too aggressive during “peaceful” protests (WRAL) Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police officer boiled over again when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store – the same store that Michael Brown was accused of robbing. But, I […]
A chief justice for NYS once famously said a district attorney, “a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich!” Meaning that the process is not like a regular court trail whereby both sides present a case. It’s only the prosecution side laying out a case and asking the grand jury there’s enough to go to […]
With Congress mercifully away on its August recess, now is a good time to evaluate what’s happened and what might happen regarding the ever-contentious, endless immigration haggle. President Obama has more than once promised to issue a far-reaching executive order amnesty that would grant legal status and work permits to between 5-10 million aliens. While […]
Politicians have ranges of positions of varying widths that they find acceptable. Hillary Clinton, like her husband, has a very wide range of stands she finds acceptable, depending on timing and circumstances. President Obama’s range of acceptable positions has been far narrower. This is reflected in their attitudes about military action in Iraq. Clinton was […]
When I was a kid, there was a hauntingly beautiful Peggy Lee song played over and over on the radio called “Is That All There Is”. The lyrics of the song reflected excitement or despair at particular events in her life. She remembered her father scooping her into his arms to escape a house fire, […]
Since 1998 it has been prohibited by federal law for states and localities to tax Internet access. This policy, known as the Internet Tax Freedom Act, has been extended three times with broad bipartisan support. But it is set to expire again onNovember 1, and some Senate Democrats appear willing, this time, to allow it […]
On: June 30, U.S. authorities announced a stunning $9 billion fine on French bank BNP Paribas for violations of financial sanctions laws that the United States had imposed on Iran, Sudan and Cuba. In essence, BNP had surreptitiously conducted business with countries that the United States had sought to isolate diplomatically (sometimes unilaterally in the case […]
In 2006, Brooklyn father Cesar Rodriguez murdered his 7-year-old daughter Nixzmary Brown because she allegedly ate his yogurt. The case shocked New York and forced an overhaul of the city’s child protective services. Now Nixzmary’s stepbrother, 15, is accused of raping two relatives eight years ago–but says he stepfather forced him to do it. Rodriguez’s […]
Does this look like a law abiding citizen? I see a violent man who took something that didn’t belong to him. That’s called stealing. It happens to be one of the 10 Commandments you’re not supposed to break. And Michael Brown broke it with ease. Like he didn’t care! Originally posted at The […]
Well, this certainly blows a hole in the official narrative of an innocent man walking down the street who was blown away by a cop for no reason whatsoever. The convenience store video reveals Michael Brown entering the store followed by Johnson. Brown hands a box of Swisher Sweets to Johnson. Brown took several boxes […]
As angry demonstrations raged in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama was dancing the night away at a party. The photographer who snapped the party pictures, Elizabeth Cecil, has since quietly deleted this photo from her Instagram. The photos featured President Obama dancing and one of him offering a birthday toast to Ann Jordan at a party at […]
Is there a clearer manifestation of the “I’m gonna get mine and screw everyone else” mentality than this story? 4-year-old Fae Platten lost consciousness on a plane when a man four rows behind her insisted on eating nuts, despite being warned three times not to open the package. After boarding the Ryanair flight to London […]
If only they had the spine to say it now, while it might do some good: Former Republican Congressman and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” anchor Joe Scarborough said that President Barack Obama will face “20-to-30 years of disparagement from his own side” after his presidency ends on Thursday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.” Scarborough, who stated he is […]
Good advice: immons gave some harsh advice to immigrants in a Huffington Post interview this week, crushing the left’s politically-correct narrative that everyone can just come to America, keep their own language, keep their own culture, not assimilate, and still somehow live the American dream and obtain success. “You have an inferred fiduciary duty to […]
Video from Hannity, hat tip to the great and indefatigable Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit: Police Chief Thomas Jackson: We haven’t had a single protester injured. The only injuries have been to police officers. One had his ankle broken by a brick… I think this was the first time we had a firebomb thrown at […]
Meanwhile, as some in New Jersey fly the flag of ISIS, others are not allowed into amusement parks because of their patriotic shirts: Mario Alejandro was ready for a fight when he was part of the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. Where he did not expect […]
Archie Bunker had good reason to refer to Rob Reiner as “Meathead”: Hollywood director and liberal activist Rob Reiner told talk-show host Larry King that the Tea Party is like the terrorist group Hamas, because apparently both groups are extreme and cannot be negotiated with, and the only solution is to make them go away […]
Obama is dancing while America burns — literally. With illegals flooding over the border, the cartels are gaining a foothold too, and now, the cartels are armed with grenades. Mexican drug cartels, whose trafficking efforts into the U.S. have grown bolder amid the border crisis, are increasingly utilizing a frightening weapon in their arsenal: the […]
Democrats are practically salivating at the chance to crown Hillary in 2016, seemingly forgetting how many enemies the Clintons have made over the years. One of those is apparently Nagla Mahmoud, wife of Muhammad Morsi, and she’s threatening to publish letters that would reveal Clinton’s relationship with the Muslim brotherhood. The wife of former Egyptian […]
Plenty of bleeding-heart liberal idiots are pleading with Americans to just think of the poor, poor illegal immigrant children who are stuck in the United States without homes — but none of them give a single thought at all to what this flood of illegals is doing to actual Americans. Consider one Texas rancher, who […]
You’ve heard about the flag flap in NJ, right? A photo of a New Jersey home flying a flag that resembled the flag of ISIS, the militant group being bombed by U.S. planes in Iraq, sparked alarm and a complaint to the Department of Homeland Security — but the home’s occupant said he meant no […]
And an act of Congress? Here’s the Editorial Board FROM THE chief of the police department to the president of the United States, government officials on Thursday promised a different approach to the racially charged unrest in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. But the situation demands a lot more than a stand-down by assault-rifle-toting […]
My first post on the Eric Garner death I said it looked like a wrongful death. However, I also said whatever happened that day Eric Garner died, it will be up to the medical experts at trial explaining to a jury that will be the finders of fact. Since then a debate has raged […]
If you’ve been watching cable news, reading Hollywood celebrities’ tweets and listening to race-hustling opportunists, you might think that every police officer in America has a finger on the trigger, hunting for any excuse to gun down defenseless youths. This hysterical nonsense must be stopped. The Cirque du Cop-Bashing, with Al Sharpton as ringmaster, is […]
There’s an old rule in journalism: All you need are three good examples to prove a trend. And by that measure, writer Robert Draper had more than he needed to declare a new “libertarian moment” in American politics. In a New York Times Magazine cover story, Draper made exactly that case. His chief evidence: Young […]
I am constantly amazed at the tendency of some to use the perspective of hindsight to condemn decisions of those who did not possess the supernatural gift of predictive prophecy at the time they made their decisions. So when a friend asked whether I believe that those who supported George W. Bush’s decision to attack […]
The news from Ferguson, Missouri, has brought back unpleasant memories from the long-ago riots in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was the summer of 1970, and I was a young teenager close enough to the action to be appropriately frightened. The riots I remember were also fueled by racial grievances, and there were similar issues […]
