Notwithstanding the naysayers from the left and the right, the bullying White House is running scared, as evidenced by its increasing nastiness, name-calling and petty manipulation of the government shutdown. President Obama must be shocked that his usual demagogic tricks aren’t working this time, that instead of the Republicans caving in deference to his dictatorial […]
The latest left-wing tactic to discredit conservative views is to dismiss the age and race of conservatives. “Old white males” and “old white people” are the left’s latest favored negative epithets for those holding conservative views. Chris Matthews of MSNBC, Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman of the New York Times, and Senate Majority Leader Harry […]
As a candidate for president, Barack Obama sold his signature universal health care plan with the promise that it would “cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.” Now that the Affordable Care Act exchanges are open for business, voters are finding that the biggest problem with Obamacare is […]
With frustration building over Washington’s refusal to behave in the public interest, perhaps it’s worth noting a drastic solution tried by the Irish. Last Friday, Irish voters cast ballots on a referendum to abolish the country’s Upper House, known as the Seanad. Prime Minister Enda Kenny said Ireland didn’t need all of its politicians and […]
Denouncing the dysfunction in Washington has become a cliche. For a change of pace, let’s decry the putrefaction in American popular culture. (There are bright spots, but those will have to await another column.) Miley Cyrus is America’s id. She is all desire — for fame, for attention, for money – without any mediating influences […]
“This book is far from all good news.” So writes Tyler Cowen at the beginning of his latest book, “Average is Over: Powering America Beyond the Age of The Great Stagnation.” Cowen is an economist at George Mason University who is generally classified as libertarian and whose interests range far afield. His most recent books […]
Clearly its not just conservatives concerned about Obamacare. A new survey, released and called the “SheSpeaks/Lippe Taylor Affordable Care Act: Impact On Women Survey” found that more than half of American women believe pending Obamacare policies are confusing, and a mere 22% believe that Ocamacare will benefit their families. The survey was conducted by SheSpeaks, […]
The media is dramatically reporting that the federal government shut down on October 1 – yet hardly anyone has noticed. This is because it is not really a “government shutdown.” If only a few non-essential government functions have been temporarily halted, it is misleading to characterize it as if the entire government has shut down. […]
President Obama is attempting to make this partial shut down as painful for the American people as he possibly can by shutting down sites that he either doesn’t need to shut down, or shouldn’t be shutting down. In this case he is shutting down the docks on Lake Mead, Nevada, throwing many people–some of whom […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has stepped into the governmental breach to take the lead and let President Obama go do more important things – like golf. He will take the reigns of the leadership in the fight over government funding and the debt limit. So, let me get this straight… […]
If something is shut down by the shutdown, that’s because the Obama Regime wants it shut down as part of an Alinskyite strategy to generate misery he can then use his pet media to blame on his opponents. He doesn’t want the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut down because it funnels other people’s money on […]
Great news: if you weren’t planning to retire before 2030, you don’t need to plan for it at all. Go ahead and spend your last penny over the next 17 years, because that’s all the sand left in the hourglass. As a lesser rock star, Bob Geldof was best known for pretending to be a […]

“If you like you insurance plan, you can keep it” continues to ring hollow (NJ.com) : Hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans opened the mail last week to find their health insurance plan would no longer exist in 2014 because it does not cover all the essential benefits required by the Affordable Care Act. The news […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Seems I’m always late to the fun… I was not watching Duck Dynasty because it sounded like another reality show to me. Boy, was I wrong. I finally decided to watch after catching one of my favorite shows with Tim Allen, Last Man Standing. I adore Allen, so when he had […]
Remember, one park ranger told the Washington Times that “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can”. We’ve seen this time and time again during Shutdown Theater. Now, the Obama/Holder highly politicized, partisan, and unequal justice DOJ goes a step further (NBC LA) Instead of showing critical missing children bulletins, […]
Democrat’s agreement that ObamaCare is “the law of the land” is extremely weak given the fact that so was slavery.: : Dread Scott in 1857 was a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court held that African Americans, whether slave or free, could not be American citizens and therefore had no […]
This is so stupid it practically bends the space-time continuum, but it’s California; so what do you expect? Illegal immigrants can be licensed to practice law in California under one of eight bills expanding immigrant rights that were signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Saturday. The California Supreme Court, which finalizes requests of applicants to […]
People have been joking that Obama would cover up Mt. Rushmore, but they didn’t really believe it. Well, when you’re dealing with a President whose contempt for the American people knows no bounds, you never really know how far his temper tantrums will go. Blocking access to trails and programs at South Dakota’s most popular […]
Barack Obama is not only uniquely unqualified to be President and uniquely bad at his job, he has a unique disregard for the welfare of the American people that shows in the vindictive way he behaves. A Texas World War II veteran attempting to visit the graves of his fellow soldiers who participated in the […]
How many Americans are being smashed by these same sort of crushing financial blows because of Obamacare? Across North Carolina, thousands of people have been shocked in recent weeks to find out their health insurance plans will be canceled at the end of the year — and premiums for comparable coverage could increase sharply.

It only took him five minutes, but economist Thomas Sowell, an African American, practically destroyed the left’s constant use of racism (today we call it the race card) as well as its reliance on the false theories of feminism. Thomas Sowell is a free-market economist, social theorist, philosopher and author. In 1981, Sowell appeared on […]
It was not a good week for progressives. Democrats thought they’d be sitting in the catbird seat during a government shutdown, but their own arrogance, World War II veterans, children with cancer and their own words have cost them what they were sure would be a easy victory. Conceptually, progressives had hoped a government shutting […]
The article in The Washington Post filled me with hope: There’s a trend toward college-educated people getting into the trades. One 29-year-old fellow in Washington, D.C. – he has a degree from Notre Dame – considered going to law school, like many others in the lawyer-saturated town. After watching his friends work long hours as […]

The Hill reports President Obama “has been AWOL” as the White House and congressional Republicans continue to square off over the government shutdown and looming […]
