Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

There isn’t much constructive activity the radical environmentalist bureaucracy won’t prevent — not even guarding the border from drug cartels and economically unsustainable hordes of colonists: Federal land managers in Arizona, where about half of all illegal alien apprehensions took place in 2010, denied a U.S. Border Patrol station permission to build a road deemed […]
When Donald Trump called for rebuilding the World Trade Center after 9/11 while lesser men squabbled over lesser projects, he more than made up for his preposterous hair. His willingness to lift the rock on the Manchurian Moonbat’s past is greatly appreciated, particularly after we watched the country being given away by the obsequious John […]
The New Mexico state Democratic party has been freaking out over the last few weeks over New Mexico’s lieutenant Governor John Sanchez, who is competing with former Rep. Heather Wilson for the chance to compete for New Mexico’s open Senate seat in 2012. They’ve been peppering the internet with arguably hilarious ramblings, calling Sanchez New […]
Making it easier every day to assert that Democrats hate the U.S. Constitution, once again we find a Democrat in Congress expressing disgust with the law of the land. This time extremist, left-wing Democrat Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D, CA) was heard complaining to a lefty radio host that many of her new colleagues are just […]
Chicago area Congressman Luis Gutierrez has been harping on the immigration issue for many years and since Obama was elected he has stepped up that activism. Gutierrez wants complete amnesty and an open border and he’s been unhappy with the Obama Administration for its lack of movement on the issue. Now he’s threatening not to […]
Chicago area Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. is apparently as fickle as he is uninformed about economics and the Constitution both. In March we saw him praising the Apple iPad as technology so important that he wanted to have the federal government buy one for every American student. Only a month later he was calling the […]
On Monday Standard & Poor stunned everyone by rating the United State’s long term credit rating from stable to poor. Let’s break it down. From Keith Hennessey: Yesterday’s report by Standard & Poor’s on the U.S. government’s credit rating is driving headlines. You can learn a lot more from reading the primary source document than […]
So, despite all the indoctrination, all the “spreading awareness”, the snowflakes just don’t get that they need to be freaked out and asking for the Prozac out of Mom and Dad’s stash Today the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication released a new report entitled “American Teens’ Knowledge of Climate Change” based on a national […]
There are many things one can expect to hear from liberals when it comes to government spending: raise taxes (sorry, “reduce expenditures in the tax code”), increase social spending, cut intelligence spending, and, cut military spending, the last cut being to a duty of the federal government that actually appears in the Constitution….yes, I know, […]
This originally appeared at NewsReal Blog. Breaking news out of Cuba on Tuesday as former Cuban President Fidel Castro resigned from his post as first secretary in the Central Committee of the Communist Party. The move was made after a series of reforms had been passed by the Communist Party Congress that introduced minor free […]
We all know the pattern by now: Muslims get upset about something that offends their religious sensibilities, some of them get violent, a few moderate Muslims may or may not give a token, “Oh, that’s awful, but I hope no one discriminates against Muslims because of this,” they get their way, and anyone who complains […]
Here’s the conundrum America finds itself in. Getting spending in D.C. under control without reforming Medicare and Social Security is impossible. Yet, tampering with Medicare and Social Security is unpopular. The problem is, if we don’t get spending in D.C. under control, we’re going to go bankrupt and payments to existing Medicare and Social Security […]
Kay Hymowitz, who has been writing a lot of dazzling columns about gender these days, speculates about whether women’s newfound dominance in college graduation rates will lead to less marriages. In a few weeks, the first of the 2011 college grads will toss their mortarboards in the air and bid adieu to campus life. A […]
“I didn’t do it, no one saw me do it, there’s no way you can prove anything!” — Barack Obama Oh wait, did that say Barack Obama? It should have said Bart Simpson. Sorry, it can be a little hard to tell them apart, what with Barack Obama constantly denying responsibility for everything he does. […]
Back in December, I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (“LACMA”) to see an exhibit entitled “Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915.” Historic European and American fashion has always been something of a hobby of mine, so I was excited when I first heard about the exhibit. I wasn’t disappointed. The […]
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all […]
Arizona’s tough anti-illegal immigration law SB 1070 was enacted into law on June 29 of last year. The Obama administration immediately sued Arizona and got an injunction preventing it from going into effect while the case was litigated. Critics warned that the law would hurt Arizona; no one would want to move to Arizona and […]
This is what happens when non-Muslims win an election in a partially Muslim country: Deadly rioting erupted across Nigeria’s largely Muslim north on Monday as youths torched churches and homes in anger at President Goodluck Jonathan’s election victory. Jonathan, the first president from the oil producing Niger Delta, was declared the winner with around 57 […]
Mortuary concerns have presented progressives with opportunities to make a pageant of their Gaia-worship and contempt for human life. The departed are made into sludge and washed down the drain in honor of the polar bears, or buried in absurd woolen caskets so that they’ll “rot down” faster. Now Swedish environmentalist Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak introduces promession: […]
If there was any doubt about how hostile the Old Media is toward tax cuts, spending cuts, and making government accountable and Constitutionally justifiable, CBS’ Bob Schieffer is happy to dispel that doubt. On the April 17 episode of Face the Nation, Schieffer asked Congressman Paul Ryan (R, WS) why we can’t just soak the […]
Since Barack Obama has taken over General Motors, the newly installed Obama-owned executives have come up with a way to save the floundering auto giant. They’ve come up with a new car model that they are absolutely sure will save the company. This new car has not been designed by professionals but has been created […]
The Blaze posted a video (notice how I gave attribution there, Mr. Beck?) that was shot at a Portland, Oregon Tea Party rally at which a gaggle of lefties came out to organize a counter protest. Like always, the lefties were vile, low-born, scum-bags in how they comported themselves and they gave us just one […]
He’s one of yours now, climate alarmists. Embrace him Crazed cult leader Charles Manson has broken a 20-year silence in a prison interview coinciding with the 40th anniversary of his conviction for the gruesome Sharon Tate murders – to speak out about global warming. The infamous killer, who started championing environmental causes from behind bars, […]
From Human Events: Time for an update on Obama’s war in Libya! The good news is, it might not be a quagmire much longer. The bad news is, that’s because Qaddafi is winning. As the AFP news service reports, “Regime forces bombarded rebels west of Ajdabiya on Sunday, forcing hundreds of residents and some fighters […]
Remember when Obama gave a speech about “a looming humanitarian crisis” and that “he refused to let that happen”? And about “America’s leadership” (right after talking about abdicating control to NATO)? How’s that working out? MISURATA, Libya — For the 500,000 residents of this once-prosperous port city, there is nowhere to run. The city is […]
Back in November of 2010, I mocked towering uber-genius Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs for this silliness. General Motors went on the public market today, with one of the largest IPOs in US history, and from all accounts it was a monster success. GM is well on track to a full recovery; they’ve returned […]
California, which has spent decades systematically crippling itself, is working on getting the details of its latest baseball bat to its own knee just right before it swings for the fences. Nine months before California is set to finalize a trading system aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, participants have the jitters. Litigation threatens to […]
As you may know, Standard & Poor’s moved America’s debt outlook from stable to negative. That means we could lose our Triple A rating on our sovereign debt within 2 years. This is not a problem that can be fixed with a bailout, a speech, or a blue ribbon panel. It will require actual painful […]
Government has become too damn big, too damn intrusive, and too damn lucrative for the good of the country. That’s why so much of the political class in this country is comprised of con men, sociopaths, and fortune hunters. Quite frankly, most of these people would rather that you didn’t understand their motives, what they […]
