“Who Is James Johnson?”

David Brooks(!) belatedly discovers that a primary cause of the Great Recession was Fannie Mae. But the most devastating scandal in recent history involved dozens of the most respected members of the Washington establishment. Their behavior was not out of the ordinary by any means. For that reason, the Fannie Mae scandal is the most […]

Lives my father told me

A couple of weeks ago I finished my year of mourning for my late father. : So this is as good a moment as ever finally to commit to writing the post I had meant for so long to write — not an opus magnum about my dad, but an insight from a person who decided […]

A Liberal Flashmob and Publicity Stunt At RightOnline

I was talking to some liberal bloggers at the foot at the escalators on RightOnline, when things started getting a little exciting. First off, 20 women in hijabs walked upstairs. I noticed it, but had no clue who they were, what they were doing, or if they were part of some event. It turns out […]

It’s Come To This: Poop Burgers To Reduce Greenhouse Gases

The story gets WAY more sickening beyond that headline (and the picture and video at the story link), folks: Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces It’s being called the “poop burger”. Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat from sewage containing human feces. Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population […]

New Open Government and Spending Transparency Reforms Introduced

While the Obama administration plays its games with “czars,” more “boards,” and “committees” to implement government accountability policies, Representative Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has introduced some measures that would do a far better job to meet those goals. President Obama has touted a “Government Accountability and Transparency Board” (GATB) as well as the Recovery Accountability […]

Warmist Chip Ward: West Was Lost Due To Globull Warming

We’re dooooooooooooooomed! Arizona is burning. Texas, too. New Mexico is next. If you need a grim reminder that an already arid West is burning up and blowing away, here it is. As I write this, more than 700 square miles of Arizona and more than 4,300 square miles of Texas have been swept by monster […]

Obama’s Green Auto Decrees to Cost 260,000 Jobs

There’s a price to be paid for the trendy green posturing of our sanctimonious moonbat rulers, in terms of not only money but jobs: The Detroit News’s dogged David Shepardson has unearthed a study by one of world’s most respected automotive research firms that reveals that President Obama’s radical CAFE mandate that vehicles average — […]

Army Day!

“This We’ll Defend!” Joyeuex Anniversaire’! (#236 in fact!) to Great Satan’s all weather original voltiguerres – the Army! “…Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep […]

What Economic Turnaround?

Obama and his cohorts want to sell the American people a bill of goods. DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz is telling the country that Democrats “own” the “recovery.” Only one problem. There ain’t one. Don’t buy the lies, folks. Don’t do it.

Joe Romm: That Nuclear Furnace In The Sky Is Small Potatoes

If the Sun does go into a state similar to what caused the Maunder Minimum during the Little Ice Age, the Warmists have found their groove in a way to keep pushing their failed pseudo religion. Here’s Joe Romm’s version, which starts off with a bit of Fox News Derangement syndrome The anti-science disinformers are […]

Illinois So Broke They Want to Sell Ads on License Plates

You know things are bad when governments start selling things they “own.” The latest is the state of Illinois so over spent and in a budgetary hole that authorities are floating the idea of selling advertising space on its auto license plates. The Democrat led general assembly has given the Secretary of State’s office a […]

I Have a Banker Named Weiner

We had quite an interesting day yesterday. For a very long time now, everyone in my family has been putting all of our money into a certain bank. We just got word one of the officials at that bank resigned. A bank executive named “Weiner” who had lately become embroiled in a “sexting” scandal. The […]

Horrible Tech Issues

Yes, RWN was down most of the day yesterday. After that, it came back with a basic word press theme instead of the regular theme. It has been a 5 star mess that I’ve been trying to handle from Minneapolis and it hasn’t been easy. Hopefully today, everything should go back to normal. My apologies […]

When Anti-Technology Kills

CHURCHVILLE, VA–This week’s headlines: Another huge, awful outbreak of food-borne bacteria. This time the worst, so far, in modern history; perhaps 2000 sickened, and about 20 dead. At least 500 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome. That means liver damage–and potential death from kidney failure. More than 1000 cases of severe diarrhea. Usually it is the […]

Workers Have It Better at Nonunionized Subaru

The disease of unionization destroys every industry it infects, most dramatically including the American automotive sector and public education. But what would happen to the poor workers if there were no unions to look out for their interests by confiscating their money and giving it to Democrats? Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) demonstrates: In its […]

Nancy Pelosi’s Fortune Explodes

One of the perks of power is that it can help you grow your fortune. For example, take Nancy Pelosi: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the […]

Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue

“Palestine!? Wouldn’t I be crazy to want that?” To paraphrase the avuncular Britishy cat (‘ello luv) that seemed psychically on target nigh unto a decade past. Everybody knows about the Nakbah – essentially a land grab by Little Satan’s neighboring nation states that went horribly wrong – granting Little Satan even more real estate! Since […]
