We are soon to be regaled by yet another movie from Hollyweird that likely misunderstands the difference between liberty (or freedom) and equality. This we might infer from the recently released advance plot synopsis for the upcoming movie Elysium from Director Neil Blomkamp, director of the surprise 2009 Sci Fi hit District 9. Blomkamp’s new […]
CNN’s Christine Romans played Obama spokesperson on Monday’s Starting Point and accused Republicans of creating “uncertainty” about ObamaCare in trying to repeal it. That fits what has seemingly become a CNN line of “stop fighting this law and get in line.” “I’m wondering, should Congresspeople be spending more time helping their constituents comply with the […]
One of the reasons for the popularity of political rhetoric is that everybody can be right, in terms of their own rhetoric, no matter how much the rhetoric of one side contradicts the rhetoric of the other side. President Obama constantly repeats how many millions of jobs have been created during his administration, while his […]
In 2007, when I began writing my New York Times best-seller “Black Belt Patriotism,” unemployment was less than 5 percent; the annual federal budget was about $2.9 trillion; the federal deficit was $161 billion; and the national debt was $9 trillion. Today unemployment is stuck at 8.2 percent; the federal budget is $3.8 trillion; the […]
During my book “tour,” radio hosts are forever asking me whether I believe that Obama is intentionally attempting to destroy America. It’s a fair question, especially given the title of my book and because so many people legitimately believe he is. I have never been too receptive to conspiracy theories, and I’m not particularly enamored […]
They found the “God-Particle.” That was the headline in many of America’s news media. It turns out that the name actually derives from substituting “God-particle” for “goddamn particle,” the original name some scientists had given the elusive particle. But the media adopted the former nomenclature. Why? Because otherwise, the bulk of humanity would not pay […]
President Obama’s attempt to spin the latest discouraging unemployment numbers as “a step in the right direction” is like telling passengers aboard the Titanic to ignore the sinking vessel and listen to the live music. A Wall Street Journal analysis of the June unemployment figures offers little comfort, nor does it produce confidence that the […]
Democratic California state Sen. Joe Simitian probably is best-known as the author of California’s bill to ban the use of hand-held cellphones while driving. After Friday’s vote, Simitian may be best-known as the Democrat who warned his colleagues not to issue $4.6 billion in bonds for big-ticket high-speed rail. “Any of us who talk to […]
A New York-based: public relations firm: is under fire — and for good reason as WikiLeaks broke the news today that Brown Lloyd James has been working with the Syrian Government in “helping Assad get away with murder.” As I have written previously,: crisis PR firms: often assist in helping to sell terror and brutality — and it is […]
Obama could get high on bath salts and eat a baby. The headline would then be “Reporter asks Obama impertinent question about baby murder.” — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) June 16, 2012 “I am a professional contnt writer. I have been contributing good quality contents..” — Start of an email asking to contribute to RWN — […]
June was not a particularly good month for Germany. First, she suffered a loss to Italy in the semi-finals of the European Cup soccer tournament. Then, she suffered a more significant blow when Italy’s Prime Minister, Mario Monti, extracted important concessions from German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the European Summit. : A loss on the soccer […]
Right Wing News has changed servers and made some changes that were supposed to INCREASE the speed of the page. That was in theory. In practice, Disqus isn’t showing the number of comments, the page is running slow right now, the users online count isn’t displaying, some of the old articles aren’t displaying — it’s […]
If Chief Justice John Roberts actually possessed the intestinal fortitude and courage of his convictions, then the Affordable Care Act in its entirety would have been relegated to the ash heap of history. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court voted to uphold the Affordable Care Act, and with it the most controversial part, the […]
X-Events: The Collapse Of Everything is not a cheery book. In essence, it argues that the complexity required to underpin modern living is making it increasingly unsustainable. The crunch comes when we recognize that societies must continually solve problems in order to keep growing. But the solution to these problems requires ever more complex structures. […]
Today, according to Fox News, the President will make a speech that includes a proposal to raise taxes on those making more than $250,000 per year. Fox says Obama will make the pitch on the grounds of “tax fairness.” While the effect of this tax warfare strategy for the President during the rest of his […]
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that most think Obama is ruining the country. And I bet some people are surprised by this poll. They might have listened when Obama said that he wanted to “fundamentally transform America” during his hopey changey run for the White House. And they might have paid attention to his […]
Let’s face it, Team Obama likes to stretch the truth, if not out right lie, in order to smear opponents. The number of un-truths, stretches, and lies that are going into Obama campaign fodder is a daily occurrence. It would take a giant post to list all the false ads. He can’t win on his […]
Why does Lobster cost more than hamburger? Don’t ask anybody in an Occupy crowd or for that matter, judging by their legislation, most Democrats in Congress. Just look at the way they’re making our food costs skyrocket by driving corn into ethanol and their laughable belief that putting government in charge of health care will […]
Mitt Romney is not a great political candidate. He won against a weak field because the establishment backed him, much of the conservative media lined up behind him, and he had a huge money advantage. He’s not particularly charismatic, nor conservative; nor is he a man driven by any great principles. That’s why the complaints […]
What makes Jeremiah Wright’s hatred of whites and Jews acceptable? The fact that he was Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor for 20 years? His black skin? Whatever it is, Jeremiah Wright is a vile, despicable, hateful, disgusting human being and anyone who thinks otherwise probably isn’t much better. These comments from Wright are the kind of […]
Whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness […]
In each of the States that elected Republican governors during the Tea Party dominated 2010 midterm elections, unemployment rates have gone down. According to an Examiner.com analysis, since Tea Party Republicans took over in January 2011, the average reduction in unemployment for those 17 States has been 1.35%.: When compared nationally, job creation in those […]
Obamacare is a tax. It’s not a tax. Politicians and pundits are all over the map on this. A tax, a mandate, a ham sandwich…the answer depends on who you ask. But none of this matters because, whatever else it is, it’s currently the law of the land. But how did this happen? During the […]
“A step in the right direction.” That’s what Barack Obama said in Poland, Ohio, about Friday’s Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment report, which showed only 80,000 net new jobs and unemployment remaining at 8.2 percent. The thought will occur to many, not all of them Obama detractors, that this was at best a baby step. […]
Imagine a reality television series that pits two of the most visible and vociferous political grassroots groups against each other in a battle of epic proportions. Well, you’re going to get it with Occupy vs. Tea Party, which is the brainchild of Mr. Gordon Gebert. : A musician by trade, Mr. Gebert hatched the idea of: these […]
While liberals remain aloof to our economic recession in Washington, every Republican governor elected in 2010 has reduced unemployment and spurred an economic recovery at a rate faster than the national average in their respective states. : Tony Lee of Breitbart.com stated that “the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared […]
No one is responsible for their lies, if they are liberals, anyway. We see this axiom at play again in the Massachusetts Senate race where Democrat candidate Elizabeth “Faux-Cahontis” Warren — who has for decades made her fortune and gained professional success in part for falsely claiming she has native American ancestry — is now […]

Romney has said that “What the Court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected President of the United States. And that is I will act to repeal Obamacare.” Obviously, that doesn’t mean he will abolish it by executive order, as many liberals, including the […]
Terrific essay by venture capitalist Paul Graham. Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four. This pays especially well in technology, where you […]
