With the campaign getting a bit surreal, I thought I might highlight some people you should know. Today I got inspired when Marc Lamont Hill published a piece at the Huffington Post entitled “The 15 Most Overrated White People.” So, then local radio show host Michael Berry on NewsTalk 750am , decided to take calls […]
Justen Charters, co-founder of Resistance 44, is sick of Obamanomics. : After all, President Obama : is “the six trillion dollar man” who “doesn’t have a budget plan” : and “basic economics is something he doesn’t understand.” : Enjoy! #obamastyle P.S. Justen, you didn’t make this song — somebody else made that happen.
Lady Gaga isn’t any more talented than a dozen other female singers, she just happened upon the idea of wearing clothes and it caught on. Nice idea, but that doesn’t make her a great musician. Additionally, like most celebrities who dip into politics, she has an ego like an elephant and a brain like a […]
People tend to think of pedophiles as sweaty weirdos who drive white vans with “free candy” written on the side. Some of them are that way, but most of the ones who get away with it for a long time are like Jerry Sandusky. They’re smooth, charismatic, and good with people. Don’t underestimate how effective […]
Smart power (CBS News) One of the men who was in charge of security for U.S. diplomats in Libya says he feared for their safety long before the attack last month on the consulate in Benghazi. Four Americans were killed in the attacks on the Libyan consulate, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The concerned military security […]
Perhaps Nick’ should be a bit more concerned with a President who decided to campaign the day after our Libyan consulate was attacked and the ambassador was killed, as well as a president who blows off world leaders, including the Israeli P.M., in order to go on The View and be eye candy (Mediaite) Nickelodeon’s […]
“The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president – with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln.” — Barack Obama As future generations of Americans look back […]
I changed web hosting companies for Right Wing News on Sunday and since then, we’ve had a strange issue with DNS propagation. Long story short, for an unusually long time after the website was moved over, an inordinate number of people were still seeing the old version of RWN, on the old host, instead of […]
Regrettably, Robert Samuelson, who’s a brilliant economist, may be: on to something here. What we are witnessing in Europe – and what may loom for the United States – is the exhaustion of the modern social order. Since the early 1800s, industrial societies rested on a marriage of economic growth and political stability. Economic progress improved […]
Yeah,: maybe. At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products. Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court […]
Non-Americans can’t legally donate to an American presidential campaign. In fact, there’s a system put in place to prevent it. So, how can Barack Obama’s campaign soak in the donations from all of his foreign fans? By disabling the system intended to prevent fraud – and that’s what it’s done. Just like it did in […]
When President Barack Obama and others on the left are not busy admonishing the rest of us to be “civil” in our discussions of political issues, they are busy letting loose insults, accusations and smears against those who dare to disagree with them. Like so many people who have been beaten in a verbal encounter, […]
The third definition of “patriot” in the Oxford English Dictionary is “A person actively opposing enemy forces occupying his or her country; a member of a resistance movement, a freedom fighter. Originally used of those who opposed and fought the British in the American War of Independence.” The term first was used in the U.S. […]
Late last week, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Thomas Sowell about his new essay, Trickle Down Theory and Tax Cuts for the Rich. Here’s the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. This is probably a very basic question for you, one you cover with your Economics 101 students, but it’s one […]
Understanding why Mitt Romney so decisively won the first presidential debate is as important as the fact that he did. Why? Because once we know the reasons, almost everything about President Barack Obama and this election becomes clear. First, Obama lost because he, like virtually the entire left, lives in a left-wing bubble. Left-wing academics […]
To the millions of Americans unable to find work, to college graduates who can’t get a job and are living with their parents, to the underemployed who are working at jobs far below their skill set and experience, and to those who have given up looking for work altogether, a 7.8 percent unemployment rate is […]
Owning a: PR agency, I am well aware of the impact that media has on public opinion.: : : Too often liberal media is biased against Israel. In the United Kingdom, a non-governmental organization the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) can force media organizations to run corrections. They “administer the system of self-regulation for the press. It does so primarily […]
America needs to become energy independent. America’s dependence on foreign energy puts her at great risk in a world that grows increasingly unstable. Given the current political upheavals in the Middle East, this reality is more than slapping America in the face. Those who claim to be “progressive” feel a compulsive obsession to force Americans […]
Robert at Small Dead Animals wants to know how to discuss things with an Obama supporter. Brave man. I know this is above my pay grade when I see the phrase “gotten us into” included twice in the short paragraph he includes, to clue interested readers in on what the problem is: Obama hasn’t gotten […]
Many Americans already know Obama tossed: 25 billion dollars: in taxpayer money down a rathole to bail out GM and Chevrolet. That was a bad idea. If the choice had actually been between letting both companies go out of business and losing 25 billion dollars of taxpayer money, we’d have been better off letting both companies get […]
Last week I sent Mitt a note encouraging him not to morph into a McCain-like wuss during the debate. I think he got my email because he Buford Pussered Obama. It was embarrassing. The president looked defeated–head down, busted. The greatest joy I had the night of the debate didn’t come from watching the erudite […]
Wednesday night’s presidential debate in which Mitt Romney shellacked Barack Obama attracted the biggest audience since the debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan seven days before the 1980 election. About 70 million Americans watched, a little more than half the 131 million voter turnout in 2008. That’s an estimate, because the ratings companies don’t […]
Oh man, what a week.: My thoughts on the debate: were pretty much in line with every other two-legged creature roaming the Earth, and my reaction to the blame-game in the aftermath of the Romney victory still brings a smile to my face. Who didn’t enjoy watching Chris Matthews meltdown? I got to accurately call Barack Obama […]
According to the most recent Forbes magazine list of The World’s Billionaires, entrepreneur: Sheldon Adelson: is worth $20.5 billion ranking as the 14th: richest man in the world.: : And it’s just great to see a self-made, proud: tough Jew: who comes from nothing succeed.: : Absolutely inspiring. He has spent significantly to educate Americans about the dangers of re-electing President Obama, including funding […]
Is vastly different that what you read about in the American press or on Facebook or Twitter. Well, in most of the press, that is. There are still a few real reporters out there. Like Salena Zito: : Since boarding a jetliner on Christmas night last year, this reporter has logged more than 8,600 miles in […]
The media, including opinion writers, spent oodles of time and planet killing paper and energy writing about Haditha, Korans in toilets, soldiers peeing on dead Taliban bodies, loud music and cold temps at Gitmo, but can’t find it in themselves to write about the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan, al Qaeda growing in Egypt and Libya, […]
“I know ‘epic’ is overused on the Internet.: But we need a new, epic-er word to do thisspot: justice.” I tend to agree.
Why Do So Many Countries End in “-stan”?
Redstate blogger Loren Heal once made the excellent point that “everyone knows something that isn’t true”. In other words, everyone has, at at least one point in their lives, believed–nay, knew–something to be true that was actually 100% false. In fact, throughout history, it has not at all been uncommon for large swaths of certain […]
