Any time an administration wants to release bad news, they do it on a Friday night. How bad are these DOJ emails? I’m sure Darrell Issa will have some pointed questions for Eric Holder on Monday (NPR) For the first time, the Justice Department has made public a series of sensitive messages that passed to […]
The Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel and Alexander Burns are surely going to earn an expletive laden call from the White House for publishing this story (Politico) Democrats have seized on Republicans as the party of unlimited secret money. The only problem: so are Democrats. In recent days, Obama released an ad blasting “secretive oil billionaires” […]
If you lived through the 70s, this is: pretty cool.
The Twihards are: everywhere:: Bella is #2 for females.
The Republican field debated for the 19th time Thursday night, and once again, the media promised us it was going to be a “make or break” event. Don’t believe the media. The media say the debates have been the most critical factor in the nominating race so far because the media have been forced to […]
Cross-posted from AlexaShrugged.com: The man with the plan!: Real Clear Politics has this clip of Obama demonstrating his economic genius: Obama: I Want An Economy “Where We’re Making Stuff And Selling Stuff And Moving It Around” “On Tuesday at the State of the Union, I laid out my vision for how we move forward,” President […]
Superintendent Todd Carlson of Shawano High School in Shawano, Wisconsin is sorry a student observed his First Amendment rights and had his article published in the school newspaper that denounces homosexuals adopting children. And so Superintendent Carlson is making amends by punishing this Christian kid for being so darn Christian. Superintendent Carlson has also decided […]
The most frustrating thing about the conflict in the Middle East to many people is that if you look at it unemotionally, it seems relatively easy to solve. Israel goes back to the 67 borders, the Palestinians drop the right of return, they split Jerusalem in ‘, Israel pulls the settlements back or trades the […]
It’s been more than a year and a 1/2 since the 2000 elections and we still have Democrats stamping their feet and claiming “it’s not fair” that the Gorebot lost. I guess it’s not surprising that many of the same people who think “tag” is too traumatic for kids can’t deal with losing a close […]
I get a lot of heat from many of my conservative friends for not supporting Newt. But last night’s debate continues to show me that Romney is better prepared not only to face Obama in the general, but to make the case in the primaries. Did Gingrich imagine that any of us care about how […]
Why? Because “There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.” After a few paragraphs describing how not every scientist is a Warmist, and the numbers who are opting out of previous held beliefs that Mankind is mostly or solely at fault, we get to (h/t Climate Depot) (Wall Street Journal) […]
Quite obviously, there has to be a bit of narcissism in any person who wants to run for the presidency. Yet, with Barack Obama, everything seems to be all about himself. Does anyone get the feeling that Obama wants to be president to help anyone, to be a good steward of the United States as […]
There’s a famous Time cover from 1992 that hammers home the almost superhuman density of liberal minds when there’s incredibly obvious information present that runs counter to what they want to hear. Most people figured out that men and women were born different at about 4 years old. For the liberals at Time, however, this […]
Question: “How can you support Gingrich given that he will institute some kind of mass amnesty? Giving citizenship to illegal immigrants is the quickest way to ensure that conservatives never win another election.” — David Answer: If you’ve been reading Right Wing News for a few years, you know that my position is that I […]
(If the rich are evil) why are you sitting in their library? Why are you sitting in their hall? Why did I just listen to a whole show on orangutans with no commercials that they paid for? — Adam Carolla The buzz in Washington now is that the Republican Establishment fears Gingrich will cause them […]
So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as “No Drama Obama” by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included. On Wednesday, the president had himself a […]
President Obama’s State of the Union address was disgusting. The president began with a moving tribute to the armed forces and their accomplishments. But as he has done many times now, he celebrated martial virtues not to rally support for the military, but to cover himself in glory — he killed Osama bin Laden! — […]
Only a president long shielded from criticism and accountability could make the kind of State of the Union speech President Obama did Tuesday night. It’s hard to know where to begin, given his repetition of tired ideas from his previous SOTUs, his taking credit for successful policies he resisted and omitting failed ones he promoted, […]
If Mitt Romney wins in Florida, he will likely sweep the month of February and have a clear path to the nomination. Romney’s people have doubtless been using their influence at the state level to line up friendly states for February caucuses and primaries. Now he is in a position to sweep the table if […]
So, we have our last debate for awhile. This one was moderated by Wolf Blitzer and as per usual, the debate started out with lots of fighting and then moved on from there into a relatively mediocre group of questions. 3) Newt Gingrich: If I absolutely had to split Mitt and Newt apart here, I’d […]
Today is Q&A Friday #111 at Right Wing News. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or […]
All the male commentators and pundits got it wrong! Marianne Gingrich’s sorrowful remembrances of her marriage to Newt Gingrich have indeed arisen to bite the former speaker’s candidacy. Both the Rasmussen and the Monmouth University Polls show Mitt Romney pulling ahead of Gingrich in Florida. After the former speaker opened the primary with a 9-point […]
Remember when Don Imus saw his cushy CBS Radio and MSNBC career go up in smoke in 2007 when he tried very early one morning to make one of his fake misanthropic jokes about the Rutgers women’s basketball team being “nappy-headed hoes”? Black activists demanded his firing. Advertisers fled. The corporate suits, appalled and fearful […]
From: Investors Business Daily. Excerpt: How embarrassing this must be for President Obama, whose major speech theme so far this campaign season has been that every single American, no matter how rich,: should pay their “fair share” of taxes. Because how unfair — indeed, un-American — it is for an office worker like, say, Warren Buffet’s secretary […]
This just in from the Associated Press: The Commerce Department said Thursday new-home sales fell last month to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 307,000. The pace is less than half the 700,000 that economists say must be sold in a healthy economy. About 302,000 homes were sold last year. That’s […]
Congress is supposed to represent the interests of everyone. But what happens when powerful special interests contribute heavily to lawmakers’ election campaigns? Last week Americans on the political right and left lined up to oppose SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and its Senate counterpart PIPA, the Protect IP Act. Internet giants like Google, Wikipedia, […]
“From this arises an argument: whether it is better to be loved than feared. I reply that one should like to be both one and the other; but since it is difficult to join them together, it is much safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.”: ‘ […]
There is nothing wrong with using the words oriental, niggardly, or minority in a conversation. However, I don’t like the word “African-American”, or anything-American for that matter. We’re all Americans and those dashes just divide us unnecessarily. Likewise, we’d all be better off if we were willing to admit that there was nothing wrong with […]
