One of the odd things about the Internet is that so many people don’t quite seem to understand that it’s real. Sure, they realize that there’s a computer in front of them, a “series of tubes,” and then…it gets kind of foggy. It’s like they think there are magical pixies from the land of Lulz […]
No one can honestly believe the New York Times is an unbiased and impartial source for your daily dose of news. I mean, sure, the bizarre alternative reality you’d need to subscribe to to fully digest that as truth would be very similar to the kind of alternative reality you’d need to subscribe to to […]
Here’s what happens in an atheistic soft tyranny when people invite friends to their homes to discuss the Bible: Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano [which was founded by a priest as a Christian mission], were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what city officials called “a regular gathering of more […]
The grievance business has been good to Jesse Jackson, allowing the cheap thug to live the life of a degenerate zillionaire. But what goes around comes around. The same identity politics victimhood that put him on his throne has now saddled him with a lawsuit: A former employee of the Rainbow Push Coalition, who is […]
Thanks to Illinois Democrats and Governor Pat Quinn, Illinois now sits among the worst states in the country for jobs and business. Texas and North and South Carolina rank as the best.

The Heritage Foundation has a post giving a run down of some of the scandals mounting in the Obama administration… you know, the most ethical administration ever? Yeah. That one. Most of them have to do with Obama’s penchant for crony capitalism. Like the good socialist he is, Obama wants to pick the winners and […]
See, if a Republican had been involved in this gaffe, the MSM would be tearing them apart. Since it’s Obama? Not so much. Andrew Malcolm provides the 411 You know all those rusting bridges that President Obama wants to spend billions more dollars repairing to allegedly stimulate the economy? He’s headed out to one today […]
Unless something big happens, I do believe the GOP will start looking more towards Mitt Romney over Rick Perry, especially when we get things like this Rick Perry went out on a limb Thursday by refusing to back off his support as Texas governor for granting in-state tuition to some of the children of illegal […]
According to Bill Clinton, Rick Perry and the GOP are just too doggone pro-Israel. Perry spoke to a group of pro-Israel activists earlier this week in New York City and sharply criticized President Barack Obama for being too close with Palestinian leaders. “It is time to change our policy of appeasement toward the Palestinians to […]
Mumia Abu-Jamal killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Leonard Peltier murdered FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Liberals enthusiastically supported both of them. Now, the latest liberal cause célèbre is Troy Davis, who shot police officer Mark MacPhail to death in a crowded Burger King parking lot. We have a justice system that is […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Perry Must Change His Position On Illegal Immigration To Win
You know, if a ballplayer threw a game and they get caught, they go to jail. Well, what are we going to do to the Republicans who are throwing the country? “They’re throwing our country, and they all should be put in jail for what they’re doing, because they’re destroying our country, because they said […]
The Fox/Google Debate covered a lot of old ground, spent too much time focused on Romney and Perry, and there weren’t a lot of great lines delivered. In other words, it wasn’t a particularly exciting debate. Winner — Mitt Romney He was consistently good, sharp, funny, and he won his exchanges with Perry. Although the […]
I’ll be liveblogging the Fox/Google debate debate tonight at 9 PM EST. Raising Red will also be liveblogging. Fox/Google debate

Two high-level government officials have: revealed: they were pressured by the Obama administration to change their testimony to Congress in order to favor a wireless company linked to a high-level Democratic Party donor, and to sound supportive of Obama’s stated goal of bringing high-speed wireless to at least 98 percent of Americans within five years. General William […]
In 2008, Human Events polled their readers to find out what issues were most important to them. I have been waiting and waiting for more polls like this from them, but have been left wanting. So, I decided to conduct the poll myself. I asked around and looked at some various websites and pulled together […]
I have to apologize to Freedom Works. I stole their video and added the Jake Blues apology scene into it. Freedom Works did not add that scene from the movie, but I just couldn’t resist it. Just to be 100% clear, Freedom Works did not have the movie clip in their original video. I just […]
Imagine the mayhem that would result if bureauweenies weren’t there to keep us safe. They even protect us from American flags brandished by autistic children. A New Hampshire woman is upset that middle school officials confiscated her autistic son’s American flag because the rod it was attached to was deemed a safety hazard and, the […]
The reason government bureauweenies spend money so extravagantly that they are literally bankrupting the country is that it is our money, not theirs. For example, the leftist ideologues running the rogue Justice Department — who help drug cartels smuggle weapons and will not investigate civil rights abuses if the victims are Caucasians — pay $16 […]
Obama pretends that he wants to cut regulations and make it easier for businesses to make jobs. Unfortunately, what he says and what he does with his powers to regulate are two very, very different things. From the Workforce Fairness Institute: The Workforce Fairness Institute today unveiled a new web video spotlighting President Obama’s National […]
Now this is the sort of corruption we are used to seeing in Illinois, eh? This week the Chicago Tribune and WGN TV has found up to 23 retired union operatives that are collecting millions in taxpayer dollars because they had pals in government tweak the state’s pensions laws to favor them. These former government […]
Back on August first the whole country was waiting for the House of Representatives to raise the debt ceiling and offer a continuing resolution to prevent a feared government shutdown. That was done with the support of 95 Democrats who claimed they were desperate to prevent that shut down. (Relevant amendment) However, in a follow […]
Cop killer Troy Davis finally got his just reward last night for murdering a police officer in a crowded Burger King parking lot. Of course, as per usual with lefties, their sympathies are with the criminal, not the victim. So, they’ve made Davis into an innocent martyr and of course, if he’s the good guy, […]
Hold on to your coffee mugs. I am about to write a post defending Pres. Obama. Adam Serwer at American Prospect writes a piece about Prof. Cornel West and talk show host Tavis Smiley’s “Poverty Tour.” Prof. West and Mr. Smiley are touring poor communities to bring attention to the extreme poverty specifically in the […]
Well, if one’s vision is simply to dump money into a sector that cannot produce a product, and can only lose money at this time, along with pandering on other energy but not actually allowing it, one is going to go on a losing streak President Barack Obama is racking up an impressive losing streak […]
There was a vote Wednesday on a temporary spending bill, and the narrative is that John Boehner has lost control of Conservative Republicans and Democrats are now in control of the process. How about the narrative that Democrats are so spending drunk that they cannot even cut a measly $1 billion? The House stunned Republican […]
Obviously, I’m not a big Kos fan. I don’t agree with him on the issues and I don’t think he’s much of a writer, has a great understanding of politics, or is much of a political analyst. He’s also…well, kind of an amoral creep. That being said, I do admire his talent for organization and […]
At least after the Solyndra, SolarCity, and Solexel debacles, Comrade President will be shamed out of laundering mountains of our money through green energy boondoggles for awhile — or maybe not: The Obama administration, defying congressional Republicans after the failure of solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC, is working to award as much as $9.2 billion in […]
Great news for those gullible enough to buy into the patently moronic hype that swept a hard left community organizer with no qualifications and an alarming background into the White House — all that vacuous Hope & Change froth was real and still exists. You know it must be true because your Moonbat Messiah says […]
