The Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added 69,000 jobs last month, the lowest number since May of last year. Concurrently, the unemployment rate increased for the first time in eleven months. The “official” jobless rate rose to 8.2%. Additionally, it reported that in the past two months 49,000 fewer jobs were created than […]
Jack White recently of the band The White Stripes has realized something important, capitalism works. At least it works when properly approached and with the release of several special vinyl albums he is trying to do it right, much to the consternation of some of his cheapskate fans. As it happens, Mr. White is part […]
Stirring up racial resentment. Creating false narratives about race and politics. Dividing us racially for political purposes. No, I’m not talking about Al Sharpton. I am talking about our Attorney General, head of the the Justice Department, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder said Wednesday in a speech to the Council of Black Churches. Voter ID laws […]
From: the Blaze. Excerpt: Representative Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri revealed on MSNBC Tuesday that lawyers from the ACLU, IRS administrators, and even Attorney General Eric Holder will soon be speaking with hundreds of pastors in the African-American community on how they can best comport themselves throughout the 2012 election. “We will have representatives from nine denominations […]
Just saw @NadiaNaffe follows @BreitbartUnmask & worked w/ @ronbryn. Was her whole attack on @JamesOKeefeIII a Kimberlin operation? — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) May 25, 2012 High self esteem coupled with mediocrity is actually considerably worse than low self-esteem. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) May 12, 2012 There’s a simple reason the media’s never made a serious […]
Just to be clear, by “climate change hoax” I mean the notion that man is mostly or solely responsible for every change in the weather, known as hotcoldwetdry, and the slight uptick in temperatures since the end of the Little Ice Age. And, in a bit of comical irony, we find out, via James Delingpole, […]
Surely, everyone could guess that the United States was involved in the cyber attacks on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Just like we can all guess that Iran is looking to create a nuclear weapons program, not use those reactors for peaceful energy production. Fortunately, the NY Times and the Obama administration are there to make […]
We’ve got to do something. Everybody is wringing their hands saying we’ve got to do something. Well, here is a concrete thing. You can still buy large bottles in stores. But in a restaurant, 16 ounces is the maximum that they would be able to serve in one cup. If you want to order two […]
1) Any illegal alien caught in this country should be forever barred from legally visiting this country, working here, or becoming an American citizen. 2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, […]
Six-term entrenched incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is attacking his conservative challenger, Dan Liljenquist, over his alleged support for tax hikes in Washington. My sides ache. Liljenquist has never voted for federal tax hikes or massive entitlement spending or multibillion-dollar bailouts or serial debt-limit increases in Washington because he has never served in Washington. Never. […]
It was interesting while it lasted. But it looks like the “green revolution” has entered the long slide into “What was all that about?” In January, the Spanish government removed absurdly lavish subsidies for its renewable energy industry, and the renewable energy industry all but imploded. You could say it was never a renewable energy […]
The gubernatorial recall election in Wisconsin next week is important as an imperfect test case to indicate how Democratic propaganda will work against facts this election year. Liberals are usually the ones who arrogantly throw around the charge that Republicans and conservatives are fact- and science-challenged and averse to reality. But their claim itself is […]
Ed Schultz is the kind of shameless liberal hack who can go on air standing in front of screaming labor-union crowds in Madison, Wisc., calling for Gov. Scott Walker’s head on a platter, and then turn around and announce that “Fox News is an arm of the Republican Party.” Let’s put this canard to rest. […]
Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities. This is truly world-class chutzpah, by an Attorney General who stopped attorneys in his own Department of Justice from […]
The Obama campaign’s early attempts to attack Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital or present him as too extreme to be president have not worked out all that well so far. The early stumbles have created a flurry of commentaries wondering what’s wrong with the team that performed so flawlessly in Election 2008. The answer […]
Eight regions of Spain have had their credit ratings cut as uneasy Spaniards moved their money overseas. Spooked by the questionable state of their banks, Spanish savers are now moving their money abroad faster than records have ever shown. Spain’s credit rating has been downgraded two notches and nearly 25% of Spaniards are unemployed The […]
With the rise of the 24/7 news cycle and expansion of media allowing everyone to create their own stories on the internet, a new void has been created. It has been filled by hypercriticism. Hypercriticism used to be reserved for celebrities, as paparazzi closely tracked every move of Hollywood stars. But the spread of cable […]
If you want to understand what went wrong with GM and Chrysler and what’s still wrong with both of those companies, and to a lesser extent, Ford, it’s not hard to understand. 1) The unions give lots of money and manpower to the Democratic Party. In return, the Democratic Party has given unions way too […]
As many of you know, one of my “things” is bringing more minorities into the GOP. Believing in the free market system, Democracy, and freedom, and being against the over reaching government, government intrusion in our lives, and being against being over taxed and over regulated is for EVERYONE, regardless of color or religion. I […]
Let’s be honest; The overwhelming majority of people who support or use medical marijuana do it because they want to get high. Of course, most of them deny that. Well, the good news is that happily, it may soon become a moot point… Israeli scientists have cultivated a cannabis plant that doesn’t get people stoned […]
There’s actually a column at Time, I kid you not, extolling the virtues of being 30 years old and living with your parents. Just how much of a bummer is it to be well past the age of adulthood and still living under your parent’s roof? As this living arrangement grows increasingly common, the perception […]
One of the results of people going “green” when it comes to driving is that these vehicles use less gas, meaning that there is less tax collected. I discussed this same thing happening in the USA in terms of money lost from the use of hybrid, electric, and fuel efficient vehicles last November. There’s absolutely […]
The Politico claims that the GOP emails targeting the Obama administrations Solyndra deal has annoyed Democrats. The only problem is, they can only name one Democrat who represented failed candidates. The article is surely meant to simply show that the RNC are just big meanies and schoolyard bullies Republicans are hammering Democrats for stammering – […]
An election almost as important as the presidential election will be held next Tuesday, and conservatives aren’t making a big deal of it, just as they didn’t make a fuss over the 2008 Minnesota Senate election as Al Franken stole it from under their noses. (Gov. Tim Pawlenty: “Minnesota has a reputation for clean and […]
Last week, Meghan McCain–who, for better or worse, has become a player in the game of politics–went on Al Sharpton’s unwatchable show on MSNBC (which is most famous for being mocked on SNL) and stated the following with regard to Michelle Malkin and the late Andrew Breitbart: I really don’t understand the popularity of Michelle […]
RUDESHEIM, Germany — This week I am leading a military history tour on the Rhine River from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam. You can learn a lot about Europe’s current economic crises by just ignoring the sophisticated barrage of news analysis and instead watching, listening, and talking to people as you go down river. Switzerland, by […]
Once upon a time, analysts, pundits and historians explored the relationship between a given subject and his father. We do so for possible insight into the subject’s values, character, decision-making process, biases, interests, fears, etc. You know — acorn, tree. But the standard intellectual inquiry, for some reason, does not apply to the long, intimate […]
On Sunday, Sept. 2, 1945, aboard the battleship USS Missouri at the end of ceremonies marking the unconditional surrender of Japan and the formal end of World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur spoke for a world weary of war and hoping for peace: “Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world and […]
I am a proud Zionist who supports BDS — Blessings, Donations to: Israel, and the settlements (BDS). Anyone who can claim to be a Zionist and speak of that other “BDS” — boycotts can not be a Zionist. : Shameful, bad people. : Those of us in the Zionist camp who can speak of boycotting the: 48th: Annual CelebrateIsrael: Parade: this […]
