Here is the waste and fraud that your tax dollars are put to, America. Senator Tom Coburn has alerted the nation to a 30-year-old man in California named Stanley Thornton, Jr., who is paid by Social Security to lay about his house and pretend he is a baby replete with diapers, baby bottles for nourishment […]
And their poster child for this is John Huntsman, who is known mostly for the media and Democrats saying he would be a formidable Obama opponent, while most Conservatives say “other than working for Obama, who the hell is he?” Is climate sanity the kiss of death for Republican presidential candidates? Even after backing away […]
That’s right, Obama is going to give another speech this morning at 11:40am, giving him plenty of time to get 18 holes in As the democracy movement now known as the Arab Spring hurtled across the Mideast earlier this year, President Barack Obama often tiptoed alongside history. His public statements tended to be cautious, his […]
Had Barack Obama actually wanted to nip birtherism in the bud, he could have released his long version birth certificate back in 2008. That would have certainly done it back then, when the conspiracy hadn’t really gained traction. What I’ve been saying is that Obama liked having Republicans talking about whether he was born in […]
There’s not much that I’d agree with NY Times Executive Editor Bill Keller on, but his latest column, The Twitter Trap has a lot of truth in it. Joshua Foer’s engrossing best seller “Moonwalking With Einstein” recalls one colossal example of what we trade for progress. Until the 15th century, people were taught to remember […]
Tomorrow will be Q&A Friday #106 at RWN. 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 TV. […]
The fine folks from Americans for Prosperity are flying me out to the RightOnline conference next month in Minneapolis to teach. Out of appreciation and because I’ve attended the event before and had a great time, I want to run a promo for the event on RWN. Hope to see you there next month! This […]
As promised, the Obama Administration is the most transparent in history — if you define transparency as opacity to those who don’t realize that, as Chris Matthews would say, it’s the media’s job to make this presidency a success. Let the Boston Herald be an example to those not content to be lapdogs: The White […]
This is a big day for the human race. It has been put on trial by a moonbat kangaroo court in Stockholm, with Nobel prize winners taking the side of Planet Earth against it: “It’s a civil court case to see whether we’ve breached our relations” with the planet, “and to see how to restore […]
Bill Clinton wants the government to “correct” what you say on the Internet, folks. Should the government listen to the former panderer-in-chief, we’ll go from Big Brother to Big Bubba on the ol’ Internet tubes. Bubba is not happy with what he claims is the “misinformation” on the Internet and he wants the force of […]
… and Why Liberals are Our Weak Spot For the online, left-wing magazine Slate, William Saletan thinks he’s found something that will damage Osama bin Ladden’s reputation in the Islamic world. But what he thinks is such a big deal proves that he doesn’t understand radical Islam or even the Muslim world. Worse, it proves […]
Everyone’s jaws are jamming about the fact that ten years ago Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child out of wedlock with some hussey or another. The follow up shocker is that his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver — a member of the Kennedy clan — has left him. It all makes me wonder what is […]
Last night, after Andrew Breitbart had already left to catch his plane, a few of us hung around to chat and to try to answer one question: what was the takeaway from Breitbart’s talk? Eat their eyeballs? Women’s dominance in the Tea Party means that men are eunuchs? The fact that the Tea Party needs […]
You’ll have to forgive the “LOL!”: I thought it was a bit more realistic than the overused “Oh, Snap!” Though, perhaps I should have used the more precise “ROTFLMAO”. Or, a simple “DERP”, as you will have competing facial expressions reading this tripe from the NY Times: President Obama and the Arab Spring It should […]
There’s politics, then there are fishing expeditions accusing private citizens and companies of wrong-doing with zero proof to score political points Senate Democrats are requesting an FTC investigation into “potential price fixing” of gasoline by petroleum refiners. The Democrats – including Majority Leader Harry Reid – wrote in a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz […]
Holy Roman Polanski, Batman! Ze French seem to be absolutely outraged that a rich and important Frenchman like Dominique Strauss-Kahn could risk imprisonment over a rape accusation from a mere maid. What a barbaric injustice! Yet, from what we know at this early juncture, the maid’s story seems credible. Jeffrey Shapiro says his client is […]
If, let’s say, you’re a student from North Carolina, Ohio, or Arizona who wants to go to a public university in Maryland, you have to pay a higher rate than teenagers who live in the state. On the other hand, if you’re in the country illegally, you get the cheaper in-state rate. This week, Maryland […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: It’s Racist To Point Out Obama’s The Food Stamp President?
The size of her breasts, the shape of her backside, and of course, her name. These are some of the details Le Monde, the French “journal de référence,” and its subsidiary Le Post published about the woman who says IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn groped her genitals and forced her to perform oral sex on him […]
Churchville, VA–The anguish in the news media over the opening of the spillways along the Mississippi is a gorgeous example of the journalists’ determination to find sorrow and danger at every turn in our lives. The AP lamented earlier this week that “Over the next few days, water spewing through a Mississippi River floodgate will […]
I just finished with a blogger conference call held by Speaker Gingrich in which he tried to further explain where he stands on Paul Ryan, the budget, and Obamacare. Newt has have been characterized as “trashing Paul Ryan,” and Ryan himself took a swipe at him on a Chicago radio show (Ryan said something like, […]
A free country requires civilian control of the military. Unfortunately, in our times that means top down moonbattery, as exemplified by the possibility that the Navy will name a new cargo ship after Cesar Chavez to pander to left-wing Hispanics. James Gill, a spokesman for General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, said Monday the company […]
Newt Gingrich, who’s still getting pancaked by conservatives for his harsh comments about the Ryan plan on Meet the Press, has been doing full throttle damage control efforts since then. Today, he did a new media teleconference. I was in on that and what follows are notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. Opening Remarks from […]
The print version of the Enquirer has a scandalous new story out about Osama Bin Laden. The piece features quotes from ex-wives and mistresses talking about his private life and it’s quite twisted. Everything from paranoia, to Bin Laden’s terrible fear of American soldiers, to his sexual perversity is discussed in the piece and normally, […]
The Washington Post had a recent piece saying that it looks like Washington is finally coming to the stark realization that the benefits and pensions of federal workers are wildly over promised and even Democrats are finally contemplating cuts in federal pensions. The GOP has already targeted these pensions by proposing that federal workers contribute […]
The next level of obduracy by New Jersey’s government employee unions has been taken. The Communication Workers of America, the state’s largest government workers union, has filed a suit against New Jersey Governor Chris Christie claiming he isn’t negotiating in good faith over the union’s healthcare contract. You see Gov. Christie wants to change the […]

If you just assume EVERY cry of “racism” in politics is illegitimate, you’ll only occasionally be wrong. That’s a consequence both of liberals thinking all conservatives are racist, sexist, homophobic and generally awful people by virtue of being conservative and because yelling “racism” is at the crux of the Left’s political appeal to black Americans.
