Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

For the last several days, Twitter has been all aflutter with stories about a supposedly horrific attack on Trig Palin by the liberal website Wonkette. After seeing the uproar on Twitter, I remember thinking to myself, “Could this column from Wonkette attacking Trig (on his third birthday) really be as bad as everyone says?” Well, […]
Ignoring economic plight, New York’s moonbat mayor continues to shove his subjects toward green dystopia: The city will phase out the use of polluting heavy oils to heat buildings and will begin building solar power plants on capped landfills, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday in his first update to a 4-year-old environmental plan that aims […]
A comic’s job is to ridicule people — but not the special people: A Canadian comic has been ordered to pay CA$15,000 (US$15,745) to a woman he taunted along with her same-sex partner during a show in a Vancouver restaurant three years ago, the Vancouver Sun reported Thursday. Stand-up comedian Guy Earle was ordered to […]
No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people again with a second budget plan itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the […]
Recently the enviro-centric group Greenpeace issued an extensive report scolding the “dirty” energy choices made by tech giants like Apple, Google, and Facebook. Greenpeace is all exercised over the fact that many of these companies have moved to North Carolina to take advantage of the coal-produced energy there because the costs are cheaper than the […]
You may remember back in March that an audio tape was released upon which an SEIU operative expressed his desire to destroy the American economy by creating “financial panic” and overloading the system. This, it was proposed, could lay the groundwork to turn America into a perfect communist society. The union operative in question was […]
The Obama Administration may not be 100% serious when it comes to protecting our borders from foreign invaders, but when it comes to protecting us from foreign catfish, well, now that’s totally different. You may have thought that Ted Stevens’ giant salmon of a private plane was the most spectacular fish-related waste of taxpayer dollars […]
Just kidding. President Check Your Tire Pressure and get a tune up (FYI, most cars today do not get “tune ups”, but engine cleanings) has a different notion President Barack Obama said on Thursday the U.S. attorney general was assembling a team to root out any fraud and manipulation in the oil markets that might […]
That’s a darned good question, one that has been answered within the blogs and forums long ago, but, The Politico’s Ben Smith and Byron Tau take a stab at in the mainstream Obama media Just when it appeared that public interest was fading, celebrity developer Donald Trump has revived the theory that President Barack Obama […]
First off, here’s a breakdown of who pays into personal income taxes. Look at those numbers and SMELL the unfairness. So, the top 10% of income earners pay 69.9% of the income tax while the bottom 50% of Americans pay 2.7%. Now, if we were actually going to make the tax code more “fair,” who […]
The economy is still soft and the border fence may never be finished, but there’s a silver lining to every cloud. Wild foot chases and dust-swirling car pursuits may be the adrenaline-pumping stuff of recruitment efforts, but agents on the U.S.-Mexico border these days have to deal with a more mundane occupational reality: the boredom […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: The Birther Trap
All told: If you’re in a liberal-leaning group and are comfortable enough economically to only care about more abstract things like social issues (abortion forever), racial solidarity (gotta give our brother a second chance), racial condescension (wouldn’t be fair to boot out a black guy just because he’s unqualified and a failure), and also don’t […]
Let’s face it; Nobody WANTS to hire union employees. If you don’t have to do it, you’re not going to do it. That brings us to Boeing and Obama’s National Labor Relations Board. Federal labor regulators are accusing the Boeing Co. of putting one of its assembly lines for the new 787 in South Carolina […]
The socialist remnants of Britain have the Orwellian NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to determine who gets medical care and who doesn’t. As ObamaCare congeals, we’ll find ourselves living or dying at the whims of IPAB: In his speech on the deficit, Obama pointed to IPAB [Independent Payment Advisory Board] as an […]
Liberals love the word sustainable. Yet Obamanomics is anything but: U.S. households are now getting more in cash handouts from the government than they are paying in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression. Households received $2.3 trillion in some kind of government support in 2010. That includes expanded unemployment benefits, as well […]
Remember this?? Seven years ago, in April 2004, President George W. Bush held a formal news conference in which he was asked, “What would your biggest mistake be…and what lessons have you learned from it?” Bush’s hemming and hawing answer — in several minutes of flailing about, he never managed to come up with a […]
It is an amazing amount of money to be spent on a mere state supreme court race but this one was for all the marbles in Wisconsin as far as both sides were concerned, so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Wisconsin Democracy Campaign broke out its calculator and came up with a whopping amount […]
It wasn’t long ago that Indiana Democrats fled the Hoosier state so that they could avoid doing their job in the state legislature. These Democrats self-righteously claimed that they were doing this “for the people” and insisted that they should be considered as heroes. One Indiana Democrat even claimed that his running off to Illinois […]
Must be nice to be a government worker in a government union. Heck, some of these government union guys are even paid not to work and paid by the taxpayers to do so, yet! Vincent Vernuccio, labor policy guy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, tells us that the Obama administration is even ignoring its responsibility […]
I’m sure you’ve all seen the interview Obama had with the Texas reporter. Obama was asked mildly hard questions, got defensive and, when he thought he was off mike, chastised the reporting for daring to do anything but grovel before him. Daniel Henninger, in today’s Wall Street Journal, looks as this episode and a few […]
Why? Well, you want to be “green,” and save the planet from evil greenhouse gases, don’t you? Apple has come bottom of the most comprehensive green league table of technology companies because of its heavy reliance on “dirty data” centres. The list, which is compiled by Greenpeace and released in San Francisco on Thursday, shows […]
Perhaps if Obama spent less time campaigning and more time leading and putting together a plan, he’d have a right to talk…..sorry, I forgot, that’s all Obama does. Talk. And tell others “get ‘er done. The links are calling” At first, President Obama didn’t call the Republican budget plan “radical” during his town hall yesterday. […]
From NRO: As you can see, the top-earning 1 percent of Americans (the 1.4 million returns making more than $380,000) paid 38 percent of federal personal income taxes while the Americans in the lower half of the income spectrum (or 70.0 million returns) paid 2.7 percent of the total. This chart also shows that roughly […]
All of these quotations are from 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People, The: What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use It. Enjoy! “Psychology professors who figure out a better way to think about life spend their careers sharing it with other professors.” — XV “For some people there are no victories, just alternate […]
Cross-posted from NewsReal’s That’s What She Said blog. Please follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our feed! Sites like Wonkette are the overflowing Porta-Potties of the Left. The writers luxuriate in fetid puddles of their own waste, lusting after the next opportunity to belch forth their sewage into the blogosphere. Wonkette‘s vile, dehumanizing mockery […]
Note, I was going to ignore this story, but since advertisers are pulling out over it, I felt I’d better write about it. One of the left’s favorite websites is called Wonkeete. It is popular because it has a reputation of being newsie, yet snarky, sort of like a less intelligent version of Comedy Central’s […]
Something I have been wondering about all day, after listening to the news reports about people still suffering, their businesses still closed or business vastly reduced, people out of work, on this 1 year anniversary of the BP blowout. Remember this Mr. Obama said the fund would be run by Kenneth Feinberg – the administration’s […]
Don Quixote and I got together for lunch today, and the conversation drifted to innate human goodness. Neither of us believes in it. We both noted that, if people are rich and powerful enough to do so, significant numbers of them readily abandon ordinary morality, with sexual debauchery usually heading the list of their moral […]
Today is the first anniversary of the Gulf oil spill, and while the spill is totally cleaned up and major safety improvements are on the way to prevent a spill of this magnitude from ever happening again. But, weirdly, the Gulf is still suffering major setbacks. Unemployment rates have jumped. Gas prices have skyrocketed. Obama’s […]
