Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Corruption in Illinois strikes again. This is the kind of nonsense that we get with political influence peddling and corruption. A painting that now hangs in the new Lincoln library and museum in our state capitol has a ridiculous tie to long-time Springfield corruption king Bill Cellini, who was just last week convicted on charges […]
I’ve been saying this for a while. Newt Gingrich might be the tortoise that wins this race. He keeps creeping up in the polls. Not making a fuss, just plodding along with great conservative ideas, and a brilliant mind. The others have raced ahead, fighting each other to try and get past Mitt Romney. These […]
Yesterday we first had the revelation that Herman Cain might have got a bit frisky with Sharon Bialek, who remembered every detail of something that happened 14 years ago, which amounted to….Cain supposedly getting frisky. Then, from the Washington Examiner we learned A former employee of the United States Agency for International Development says Republican […]
Remember, this is just like the Tea Party (NY Post) A business owner near the Occupy Wall Street encampment claims she has been repeatedly harassed and threatened with bodily harm by protesters after she and her employees refused to give in to their outlandish demands. “I’ve been told, ‘Watch your back!’ 10 times,” Stacey Tzortzatos, […]
With a few exceptions, foremost among them the New York Post, the coverage of OWS protests compared to the coverage of tea-party protests is the worst media double standard in recent history. Nothing compares, because nothing else involves this much distortion on both ends of the coverage. It’s not just that most press outlets (like […]
One of the things that has struck me, when I have gone on luxury cruise ships, is that most of the passengers look like they are older than the captain — and luxury cruise ships don’t have juveniles as captains. The reason for the elderly clientele is fairly simple: Most people don’t reach the point […]
While most mainstream news media cover presidential campaigns or economic conditions, the feds are going under the radar and your skin — literally — with something that could be detrimental to your and your children’s health. News just broke about their cover-up, but few, if any, agencies passed along the wire. According to the Centers […]
It’s almost 2012, and we have a black president, yet the white ghost of racial tensions still haunts our national politics. Will it ever end? Far too many liberals continue to paint conservatives as racists based on their ideological leanings and party affiliation. Some believe it; others know better but milk it for their political […]
Commentary Magazine asked 41 Americans to respond to this question: “Are you optimistic or pessimistic about America’s future?” The responses, including my own, appear in the current issue of Commentary. As we were limited to 500 words, I offer my response here, in edited and longer form. I am both optimistic and pessimistic regarding America’s […]
In 2007 when she was running for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton told a fundraising event in Carson City, Nev., “I sure don’t want Democrats, or the supporters of Democrats, to be engaging in the politics of personal destruction. I think we should stay focused on what we’re going to do for America.” Clinton’s husband, the […]
When I criticize the Occupy movement, liberals and so-called independents fire back with claims that the movement, in the main, is peaceful and constructive; and that the violence is the result of infiltrators and “a few bad apples.” Personally, I believe that this is nonsense. From my experience (as a public school teacher in the […]
What happened in North Carolina, and 37 other states, was a travesty. I’ve mentioned it before. Forced sterilization of Blacks, the poor, “defectives”. Brian Williams, with his new “Rock Center” program, delves into the issue. After bringing the human interest part to the story, we get North Carolina was one of 31 states to have […]
I cannot support Mitt Romney in this coming GOP primary. The one reason why can be summed up simply as this: he flip flops. Romney has more flip flops than a California beachfront. Mitt has been proven a man without anchor adrift in a sea of issues that push him and pull him with the […]
Last year for the 2010 midterms Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln was in trouble with her reelection. Up until 2010 most felt her seat was a safe one but Democrat challengers pushed the sitting Senator to a runoff that she barely won. 55% of her constituents opposed her. Lincoln welcomed the support of President Obama who […]
Are you Occupiers ready to abandon Obama yet, and apologize to George W. Bush? Because Bush was better for the middle class (via Gateway Pundit) (Investors Business Daily) In his weekend radio address, President Obama decried that “over the past three decades, the middle class has lost ground while the wealthiest few have become even […]
But, wait, I thought In late October 2007, according to the International Herald Tribune, the head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, stated that he had seen “no evidence” of Iran developing nuclear weapons. The IHT quoted ElBaradei as saying “We have information that there has been maybe some studies about possible weaponization. That’s why we […]
Leonard Pitts is another run-of-the-mill, incoherent left-wing pundit who sees everything through a race-based lens. So, a column kvetching about Herman Cain and conservatives playing the race card is pretty much par for the course, but Pitts’ latest column is hypocritical, dumb, and confused — even for him. He starts by noting that conservatives like […]
…that the Tea Partiers are much better behaved, less violent, & more law abiding than the Occupy Wall Street protesters? After all, unlike the Wall Street crowd, the Tea Parties don’t have rats, lice; nobody defecates on cop cars or in the streets and there’s no vandalism, mass arrests, rape, or old women being pushed […]
I don’t like Mitt Romney. I never have and I probably never will. You see, politicians like Mitt Romney have a history of screwing over movement conservatives. You know the type. Lincoln Chafee. Arlen Specter. Charlie Crist. You might say, “No way! Romney’s more conservative than those guys!” Is he really? What gives you that […]
Herman Cain, beleaguered by charges of sexual harassment, was all over Washington last week — an odd choice of venue, considering that the Iowa precinct caucuses are now just 58 days away and the New Hampshire primary 65. But as I learned when I sat next to Cain Friday morning during a long-scheduled taping of […]
The slogan for this week’s G20 meeting here in France was “New World, New Ideas.” It should have been “Same World. Bad Ideas.” Nonetheless, high drama played out in front of the world press as members of the G20 family squabbled with each other in various displays of political showmanship. Here’s what happened at this […]
My guess? I’d put the over/under in the 5-15 range with the over being more likely than the under. You have large, increasingly hostile and lawless mobs living in poorly controlled tent cities that are desperate to get attention and trying to instigate conflict with the police to get media attention. Combine that with the […]
The Occupy Whatever movement — if it can be called a movement — is at its heart a hate-America movement. With each new video we see this more and more and this cretin at Occupy Los Angeles is just one more example. An avowed communist, like so many of these people are, he feels that […]
UPDATE – links fixed. Sorry about that. Click the links. There will be a few more than usual this week, and a few more than usual leading back to one of my own posts. Sorry. It was just that kind of week. Photo link: Grandpa Steve, Go there to find out who those people are […]
In all seriousness, I want the Occupiers to keep their little slice of insanity (violence, criminality, etc) up for another year and 2 days. The longer this goes on, the more people get an eyeful of what the Left, especially the Progressives, stand for, and, by extension, what Obama, Pelosi, and a good chunk of […]
Is the Voynich manuscript an elaborate . . .: prank?
If you want to know: what song you heard on a movie soundtrack.
I know, I’m supposed to take the news that President Obama “insulted” French president Nicolas Sarkozy as a sign of Obama’s stupidity. But I just can’t. Because it’s the French, because politics really should stop at the water’s edge (except for Hawaii), and because… …seriously, you French, you bunch of dweebs are mad about what, […]
Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich will participate tonight n the Woodlands for a Lincoln/Douglas style debate at 6pm central. I’ll be there covering it, so follow me on twitter @KatMcKinley for live tweeting. It will be a 90 minute debate hosted by the Texas Patriots: PAC. There is no moderator. The two candidates will discuss and […]
Every day at Wisconsin’s state capitol, twenty or so people get together at lunchtime for a pro-union, anti-Scott Walker singalong. It’s annoying, but harmless, and, well, whaddayagonna do. Free speech. But. Wisconsin fourth grade classes traditionally take a field trip to the state capitol. Naturally, these days, these fourth-graders are getting a first-hand view of […]
