In case you have been living under a rock, Chris Christie is the Republican Governor of New Jersey who is known for his blunt honesty. He had confronted the teacher union bosses in New Jersey, and he turned things around in a state that was in a fiscal crisis. He says the things most politician […]
Although the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t a terrorist group like Al-Qaeda per se, it is an anti-Semitic, anti-American, terrorist-supporting radical Islamist organization. There’s nothing good to be said about the radicals in the Muslim Brotherhood — and the fact that they’re undoubtedly going to end up playing some role in Egypt’s government should be a cause […]
So, all the climate morons are going ga-ga over a new report that links extreme rain (what we used to simply call “rain”) to globull warming. But, does it really? Global warming helped drive a rise in the intensity of extreme rain and snowfall across much of the Northern Hemisphere during the last half of […]
I bet you forgot, as I did, that February 16th was Stimulus Day. Reince Priebus did not, and offers up this op-ed in The Washington Times Two years ago today, President Obama signed into law a “stimulus package” that his administration promised would keep unemployment under 8 percent. What has been the result of nearly […]
While the pliant liberal and American news media coo over the so-called “freedom” demonstrations in Egypt, there are riots and protests breaking out all over North Africa and beyond — Jordan, Yemen, Algeria, Bahrain, Tunisia.: It is obvious to many (except the mainstream media) that the Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to institute a theocratic radical […]
How About We Find Out Something We DON’T Already Know?
[A big thank you to Richard Hornsby for the photo] This past Wednesday through Saturday, The American Conservative Union sponsored the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. CPAC was open to all conservative activists who wanted to attend. This year, I had the honor of being a credentialed blogger for CPAC, and, thus, was […]
Here’s how Zimbabwe’s socialist dictator Robert Mugabe lives: Here’s how his subjects live — if living is even the word for it: Zimbabwe’s predecessor Rhodesia was a wealthy country, known as the Breadbasket of Africa. But then came social justice. Whites were abruptly removed from power, and their farms were confiscated. Now the country is […]
Whoever said that crime doesn’t pay hasn’t been to Britain since liberalism run rampant reduced it to a bizarre bleeding heart hybrid of A Clockwork Orange and a Monty Python skit. Here‘s how it pays to sell heroin: A convicted drug dealer who claims he was left “humiliated” after he was named and shamed on […]
If you are not familiar with the Texas Senate race, Kay Bailey Hutchinson is giving up her Senate seat in 2012. Michael Williams, our Railroad Commissioner is running for that seat. Here is a link to my interview with him at CPAC for FTRadio. For more information about Williams, go here. You can read my […]
Sea rise is so dangerous, and so prevalent, that the climate morons have to…….fake it, because they can’t find the real thing! (via Steven Goddard) Want a glimpse of what a warmer world with higher sea level might look like? A local environmental group is asking Orange County residents to help them create that dramatic […]
It’s always amusing when Democrats call for “bipartisanship”, because it means that their ideas are really bad, and they want to include Republicans, so they can throw Republicans under the bus when the legislation is really horrendous and the American People hate it. Witness the budget President Obama conceded on Tuesday that his new budget […]
On March 23, 2010, I wrote the following in a post that ended up being picked up all over the place: The Hawkins Strategy: Repealing Obamacare By Cutting Off The Funds …So, how do we kill Obamacare? I have an idea. “The IRS might have to hire as many as 16,000 new employees to enforce […]
In Latin America, they’re starting to get a taste of the over-feminization that has helped turn so many American men into sad, little wussies. It’s not a pretty sight, Ad campaigns region-wide challenge machimso. In Mexico, a new soap opera suggests women dislike macho men. In Chile, a current ad campaign attempts to appropriate the […]
Here are the results from the Internet poll of RWN’s readers that ran yesterday, 18) Mike Huckabee: 0.5% 18) Jon Huntsman: 0.5% 16) John Thune: 1.3% 16) Ron Paul: 1.3% 14) Jeb Bush: 1.6% 14) Rudy Giuliani: 1.6% 13) Rick Santorum: 1.8% 12) Haley Barbour: 2.4% 11) Newt Gingrich: 2.6% 10) Rick Perry: 2.9% 9) […]
Inexplicably, since I’m not a socialist and I don’t live in Colorado, the lefties over at ProgressNow Colorado have added me to their email list for some reason. Here’s their latest whiny missive, Dear John, Here’s a true or false question for you. Do you think Colorado is a great place to live? If you […]
I am rather famously not a fan of Debbie Schlussel, so you may want to take this with a grain of salt, but she seems to be thrilled about the sexual assault on Lara Logan that occurred in Egypt. You’re probably thinking, ‘No way, Hawkins! You’re just saying this because you don’t like her!” Okay, […]
Breitbart: “Bring it on”
This morning, I read and enjoyed Jeannie DeAngelis’ post about a potential Herman Cain candidacy. From everything I’ve heard, including musings from our own Danny Lemieux, Cain is a person one would like to have in the White House. He may not have a political track record, but he’s still got a lot more under […]
As Janet Napolitano would say, the system is working — by releasing hundreds of criminal aliens onto our streets: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to identify more than 800 criminal alien convicts eligible for deportation before they were released from U.S. prisons, including “many” of “the most egregious criminal aliens, who pose a significant […]
Compact fluorescents contain toxic mercury that will turn your house into a Superfund cleanup site if you break one. But fortunately we will have an alternative, even after our rulers ban safe and affordable incandescent bulbs as of next year on behalf of crony capitalist bankrollers like GE. Let’s not forget LEDs: Those light-emitting diodes […]
Walter is a brilliant man with a knack for breaking complex economic issues down into easily understandable, bite sized sentences. This is no small feat because economics, despite what some people may tell you, is generally not intuitive or easy to grasp without a great deal of study. In his column today, Walter Williams dropped […]
CHURCHVLLE, VA–Paul Krugman is a big deal: Princeton professor, New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate (2008). Krugman wrote last week about the “food crisis, the second one to hit the world in the last three years.” His key statement: “what really stands out is the extent to which severe weather events have disrupted agricultural […]
Ed Morrisey of HotAir interviews Richard Dreyfus, who I got to talk to later. If you have ever wondered what my lovely co-hosts on SmartGirl Nation Radio looks like, here they are. They are as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside. Teri Christophe and Molly Teichman. Me and Tammy Bruce. I […]
I have heard Herman Cain speak on mulitple occasions now, and every time it gets better. : One thing he has repeated, however, is the idea that when liberals try to answer a question, they are guilty of S.I.N. Tim Gray explains what Cain means: “S” stands for “Shifting the blame.” When a conservative points […]
Well, the Republicans have done something right After about a month in control of the House of Representatives, Republicans haven’t managed to undo as many deeds of their Democratic predecessors as they’d like. They couldn’t get rid of “Obamacare,” and they haven’t made much headway in slashing the president’s $4-trillion budget. But the GOP has […]
There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I know this because Smart Liberals said so. They are apparently a “non-violent secular group.” So, we should have no reason to be concerned Egypt’s long banned Muslim Brotherhood said Tuesday it intends to form a political party once democracy is established, as the country’s new military rulers launched […]
The GOP just won its biggest victory in half a century, we’ve had the highest attendance ever at CPAC and yet the faces are so long, you’d think we were in a roomful of John Kerry imitators. How can so many people be so upset about CPAC when things are finally going in the right […]
Let’s think about Israel from the Israeli viewpoint for a minute, shall we? It is, by any standards, an extremely small country. Within its own borders, it is a sophisticated Western-style nation that leads the world in scientific innovation. Its political system is a parliamentary style democratic republic. Although its system isn’t perfect, no one […]
