Forrest Griffin is one funny dude. Yes, that Forrest Griffin. The UFC Fighter. I’m laughing my way through Got Fight?: The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat right now, but there’s one story from the book that is SO GOOD, I just had to share. The story is about manliness, how to respond to bullies, […]
If you were born in this country, you should be able to speak English, even if it’s just ebonics. Even to become a naturalized American citizen, you need to take an English test to prove you have a certain level of proficiency with English. So, if you’re talking with someone who has so little command […]
The recession officially ended in June 2009, before the policies of Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress could truly kick in. We’ve discussed many a time what effects this continued malaise have occurred within the states, effects such as low income, sales, and property tax rates because so many people are out of work or […]
Ostensibly, Scott Walker was up against Tom Barrett yesterday in Wisconsin. In actuality, his opponents were the unions. He was their great and cheesy boogeyman because he dared to put the interests of the state of Wisconsin above the interests of the union. Liberals loved getting another crack at Walker until he whomped Barrett like […]
With 99% of precincts report, Gov. Scott Walker defeated Democrat Tom Barrett by 53-46, a larger win for Walker than his first win in 2010. It does look like the Senate might flip back to the Democrats, though. Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleefisch also easily won, and provides the quote of the night That’s what all […]
They really outdid themselves. In Wisconsin and across the nation, public school employee unions spared no kiddie human shields in their battle against GOP Gov. Scott Walker’s budget and pension reforms. Students were the first and last casualties of the ruthless Big Labor war against fiscal discipline. To kick off the yearlong protest festivities, the […]
President Obama would do us all a big favor if he’d ask himself this: “Would I start or expand a business without knowing what regulations or taxes government will impose next year?” If he’d just stop and ask that, he’d have a sense of what’s wrong with the economy. He’d understand why a country that […]
Benjamin Franklin, statesman and signer of our Declaration of Independence, said: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” John Adams, another signer, echoed a similar statement: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to […]
Only one group of Americans can make this nation a fairer place: trial lawyers. After all, crushing injustice has enveloped the nation. New Yorkers make more money than Iowans. Female lawyers earn more than male fishermen. People who are 6 feet tall — and I saw this in a semi-scientific study — earn, on average, […]
One of my heroes, Irving Kristol, used to say that there’s nothing wrong with the country a bad recession couldn’t fix. Kristol (father of the more famous Bill, by the way) wasn’t hoping for a recession, he was merely making the point that so many of the problems with our culture, both popular and political, […]
It’s clear David Limbaugh isn’t writing books with the goal of being honored in the salons of the liberal media. He doesn’t mince words with the media. His devastating new book on Barack Obama is titled “The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic.” It’s a bracing antidote to the intoxicated oozing of the […]
It’s perhaps a bit mean to liken the hapless Harvard law professor and senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren to that other Warren, Kitty — the brothel owner from George Bernard Shaw’s “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” described by the playwright as “a genial and fairly presentable old blackguard of a woman.” Elizabeth Warren is, after all, rather WASPish […]
Back in 2008, after a hard-fought primary battle against then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., then-Sen. Barack Obama had a choice: he could put her on the ticket as his vice presidential nominee, thereby healing the rift that had torn apart the Democratic Party or he could go another direction. He chose Joe Biden over Clinton — […]
What happens when a brutal regime gets replaced by an alternative and largely unknown entity? Exhibit A: Libya. Shortly after Muammar Gaddafi bumped his head on a bullet, the “rebels” took over and promptly declared Sharia law. It’s a start — I guess. Though a start of what, no one’s really quite sure. This week, […]
I just turned 26, and I’m ready to be married. My previous two boyfriends dragged their feet and then said the blood-boiling line: “I will marry you … someday.” I met a guy online, and we initiated a relationship on the basis that he was ready for marriage. Four months after our first kiss, I […]
This is the massive vote fraud I’ve been warning about and Gov. Walker better be prepared for it. WMAL’s Chris Plante got a call today from a man claiming to be on one of four busses that are driving from Michigan to Wisconsin in order to have fraudulent voters flood the polls for Democrat Barrett […]
There are rumors that Mitt Romney may select his vice-presidential running mate in advance of the Republican National Convention in August. Speeding up the process would boost his fundraising for a few extra weeks. Conservatives are worried Romney will pick a moderate establishment candidate, while the establishment is worried Romney will pick someone seen as […]

As I write this it is only hours before the polls in Wisconsin open to take votes for the Walker recall effort. Polling data says that Walker will likely win this election, though the media spin this as a “close” thing. Whether Walker will win or not I won’t guess on the eve of voting […]
As someone who mocked Romney mercilessly during the primaries and co- founded NotMittRomney.com, I can’t be accused of being a water carrier for Mitt. Moreover, I wouldn’t walk back a single word I said about him, including the fact that he’s the least electable GOP candidate since Goldwater. Yet and still, despite what you’re hearing […]
OK, we’ve already established that Democrats understand that there are, in fact, reasons why there can be a pay gap. The White House suggested that there are “varying degrees of seniority” as to why women are paid less, on average, than men working in the White House. Democrats at a crosspost at Right Wing News […]
Conversely, perhaps they do not want to be associated with public unions who are partly responsible for having negotiated contracts that leave the taxpayers to fund un-sustainable liabilities with the same Democrats (Politico) The bitter battle over union rights in Wisconsin sent masses of angry protesters flooding into the streets, placed the state at the […]
Who would have ever suspected that a state headed rapidly towards bankruptcy would ever come to regret spending billions on a marginally useful bullet train that’s practically guaranteed to be a money losing disappointment? Ambitious plans for a fast track linking Los Angeles and San Francisco at speeds of up to 220mph in just over […]
In Nanny Bloomberg’s New York, 17 oz drinks are going to be illegal, but the police aren’t going to arrest people for posessing marijuana. So, New Yorkers can’t handle soda, but they can deal with marijuana just fine? Sure, that makes perfect sense….to liberals.

A couple of articles to get you situated, in case you haven’t been following the recall election. Here’s George Will in the liberal: Washington Post: On Tuesday, in this year’s second-most important election, voters will judge the attempt by a populism of the privileged – white-collar labor unions whose members live comfortably above the American median […]
Would anyone work to support themselves or their families — and then turn over a chunk of that hard-earned money to somebody else, just because of the words used by that somebody else? A few people may be taken in by the words of con men, here and there, but the larger tragedy is that […]
Wisconsin Democrats, Washington elite and insiders, and liberal special interests have joined together to fight for the recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday’s election. But this past Friday, when I saw them also send in the big gun — former President Bill Clinton himself — against Gov. Walker, I knew I had to […]
My newly released book, “The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic,” picks up where my previous book “Crimes Against Liberty” left off, chronicling President Obama’s record since mid-2010, and it’s not pretty. I firmly believe that Obama is heading this nation toward financial catastrophe, is greatly undermining our national defenses, the Constitution and […]
