Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels once again did a fine job explaining himself over his recent seemingly controversial opposition to introducing any right to work laws in Indiana. Turns out he really isn’t that opposed to it, but he sure seemed to be against the idea a few days ago. He has since said his opposition […]
This is about newly elected Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, but the points pertain to the whole situation in Congress, so I thought it might be of interest and that I’d post it to RWN anyway. Last week I wondered aloud if Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R, 11th District) was going against his claims of being […]
Yes, Rule 23: Senate Rule 23 : : : Senate Rule 23. Committee not to be absent. Members of a committee, except a conference committee, may not be absent by reason of their appointment during the sitting of the senate, without special leave. [am. 2001 S.Res. 2] emphasis mine I’m a literal type of gal, and “may not” […]
I interviewed Ted Cruz at CPAC for SmartGirlNation, but the audio quality wasn’t great, so to make sure you didn’t miss it, I transcribed it. Enjoy! Welcome to Smart Girl Nation. This is Kathleen McKinley and today I’m speaking with Mr. Ted Cruz, who is running for the Texas Senate seat now being held Kay […]
But, he isn’t giving the money away, oh, no, he is “investing” it as a way to save Mankind! The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced that it is investing $70 million into food security initiatives in order to battle one of climate change’s looming threats–catastrophic food shortages. The United Kingdom Department for International […]
It must smell horrible in there So much for quickly returning to normal business hours at the state Capitol. Faced with several hundred drum-beating, dancing and chanting demonstrators who refused to leave the state Capitol after the doors were shut at 4 p.m. Sunday, police decided to let the crowd spend the night and continue […]
Liberals claim to be perpetually outraged by what they say is dangerous rhetoric from conservatives. However, it’s hard to take them seriously when they have nothing to say about stories like this all breaking in a single day, The head of one of the nation’s most powerful labor unions did not condemn the violent rhetoric […]
Muammar Gaddafi is a tyrant, he has American blood on his hands — and he’s just plain old evil. What will follow him in Libya is a mystery, but he’s such a monster, it’s hard not to root for his people to get rid of him. That being said, there’s a difference between giving the […]
So, I’m reading CNN and I run across this line, “Many conservatives have long argued that in order to keep Social Security solvent, it must be modified. One popular idea is to transform the program into a private savings account. Yet others call for its outright elimination.” This prompted an eye roll. After all, who’s […]
No matter how low you think the political Left will sink, your imagination can never quite keep up with how vile they actually turn out to be: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is circulating a number of clips to reporters suggesting that Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-Mass.) revelations of sexual abuse as a child is either […]
CNN’s Parker-Spitzer is now just “Spitzer,” I guess, after Kathleen Parker unceremoniously exited stage left. John Ziegler cuts to the heart of the matter in explaining why the show was doomed from the start: But the primary reason why the program couldn’t work is also the very reason Parker got the gig in the first […]
Eric Holder’s DoJ is not interested in prosecuting the Black Panthers, but they are pulling out the stops to take out a rising star in the Republican Party – Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. The legal harassment is ostensibly to enforce “voting laws,” but political motivations are evident. From The Washington Examiner: Attorney General Eric Holder’s […]
What has happened in Sacramento in the past 24 hours proves: once again how important it is that Tea Party protesters should never attend a rally alone, and should always have a camera rolling.:
Dr. Helen, who is Mrs. Instapundit, makes an interesting point about incentives with regard to that Kay Hymowitz book everyone’s been talking about lately: What would happen if a regular Joe, not an alpha male, came into class and gave his true opinion about the topics at hand, say in a psychology or sociology class? […]
It is a mark of maturity — and, sadly, in our modern age a rare one that is diminishing into nothingness before our eyes — to visualize a possible improvement to a situation, and yet simultaneously concede that there’s no great transgression being committed while we’re waiting for the improvement to come about; no gross […]
Caroline Baum finishes strong and I supposed I shouldn’t excerpt that part of it, but hey. It’s a wonderful column that just might save your weekend, that happens to have been put together upside-down. The final note is a perfect summary for all that came before. For every number homegrown America-haters spit out to show […]
Union animals escalating violence across the country… BigGovernment.com has the startling tale of a Teamster Jacket-wearing union goon attacking a Tea Party member at a protest held in Sacramento, California. Naturally, even as this union scumbag was manhandling a Tea Partier, he was yelling through a bullhorn that Tea Partiers are “fascists.” The union thug […]
Even as it tops the list of organizations spending money on political causes, the National Education Association (NEA) is planning to double the amount of its members’ dues spent on politics so that it can spend yet more on political campaigns — and all left-wing causes to boot. Last year the NEA teachers union spent […]
Rahm Emanuel hasn’t even officially set his first foot in the Mayor’s Office and he’s already had his first political misstep: He hired a transition team member that has ethics problems. Last year Judy Erwin was forced to resign as director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education because she was caught using state offices […]
Ten friends decided that they would pay for their bar tab the way they pay their taxes. The first $100 beer tab was paid like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing The fifth would pay $1 The sixth would pay $3 The seventh would pay $7 The eighth would pay $12 […]
Like me, you may be a little confused about the nature of the fight between the public sector unions and Wisconsin Republicans. After all, the unions are just upset about having to pay for some of their benefits, right? Wrong. …the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the largest teachers union in the state, has grossly abused […]
Just a few stories that caught my eye this week, whether I blogged about them or not. Click the link underneath each if you need a little more explanation. Link: Mister Pterodactyl. Link: Mind Numbed Robot. Link: Grandpa Steve. Link: Politico. Link: Hot Air. That’s the second time I’ve made that particular vague movie reference […]
Let’s go with something a little more light hearted this Sunday morning, unless, that is, you yourself have had this problem, causing you to be late to work, and then you can blame yourself for driving a fossil fueled vehicle which creates cold weather due to greenhouse gases or something When the weather turns cold, […]
Celebrations that the oil was quickly “dispersed” and “gone” after the capping of the British Petroleum spill may have been premature. It may take decades to assess the damages and to recover.
Nationwide union rallies to support Wisconsin’s striking teachers, organized by MoveOn.org, have fallen far short of predictions, though the “mainstream media” “take” on the day is that it was a smashing success for Big Labor.
In California, big government labor unions like the SEIU are making so many millions of dollars by forcing employee membership, that they are increasingly becoming embroiled in huge, expensive litigations over anything and everything. If California government union workers really knew and understood how much of their money is being stolen and squandered and spent […]
Originally posted at NewsReal … The patriarchy is afoot! How else to explain the feminist Left’s conspicuously absent outrage after a male union member assaulted FreedomWorks staffer Tabitha Hale in Washington, D.C. this week? As steadfast defenders of women, surely feminists spoke out about this act of aggression against a 5′ 1″ woman and her […]
I’ll bet you thought the TSA’s “enhanced” patdown procedures could not possibly get more invasive. Think again. Beginning this summer TSA will start collecting travelers’ DNA. According to a report from The Daily the Department of Homeland Security plans to deploy portable DNA scanners at U.S. points of entry. They’re about the size of a […]
Wisconsin’s MacIver Institute reports on how left-wing radicals are fooling sick people in Wisconsin into imagining that Governor Walker’s budget proposal is meant to kill all sick people. Here is one of those poor people that have been bamboozled into imagining that they are going to be killed by the state of Wisconsin because Governor […]
This… …is such a common accusation in Madison today that one hardly notices anymore. Not that a Lefty calling a conservative “dictator” is new. To the Left, a “dictator” is a conservative who won an election. But: who, exactly, are the dictators here? In a dictatorship, there is no authority higher than the will of […]
