Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Apparently for at least ten years our U.S. Senators have been creating operating rules that allow them to get out of doing one of their most important jobs: actually voting on legislation. As it happens ninety three percent of the approved measures that have come out of the Senate never got a roll call vote. […]
Last week President Obama appointed the CEO of General Electric, Jeffery Immelt, to head up his Economic Advisory Board. This is, as Freedomworks’ Tabitha Hale wrote, “an obvious rent seeking arrangement between Big Government and Big Business.” This could not have been a more clear product of a crony corporatist relationship, and it is one […]
The venerable Marvel comic book character Captain America has been, well, “Captain America” since 1941. But as of the 2011 release of the new movie “Captain America: The First Avenger,” he won’t be Captain American anymore. At least as far as the film’s title overseas goes, anyway. Apparently, Hollywood thinks a character called “Captain America” […]
OMG, this is the best! See, “Glenn Beck Slams New York Times and Soros-Funded Center for Constitutional Rights.” The video’s at the link. Hilarious. Plus, “Carol Browner Out as Obama’s Climate Czar” (featuring another Glenn Beck video — the dude’s awesome).
Best wishes for Gabrielle Giffords’s continued recovery. American medicine certainly can work miracles. It’s a good thing she’s a member of Congress, and not a normal pleb under ObamaCare. Jeffrey Lord asks: If Gabrielle Giffords were not part of the governing elite — the Ruling Class — with this serious of a wound, a gunshot […]
For centuries, Genghis Khan has been reviled throughout the world as one of the most evil tyrants who ever lived. But from the progressive point of view, he was just a little ahead of his time. Consequently, he’s being rehabilitated: Genghis Khan’s Mongol invasion in the 13th and 14th centuries was so vast that it […]
Having solved all their actual issues, it’s time for a big dose of nannyism Lawmakers in at least two states are looking to pull the plug on texting pedestrians and iPod-obsessed runners, claiming their diverted attention borders on disaster. After targeting drivers who paid more attention to their phone calls and text messages than the […]
Ventura may a massive 9/11 Truther, and, surprisingly, that wacko viewpoint doesn’t enter in his lawsuit, but, he does have a good darned point Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura sued the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, alleging full-body scans and pat-downs at airport checkpoints violate his right to be […]
Yesterday, I talked about the fundraiser RWN is doing this week: I’ve decided that I need to up the revenue that RWN is bringing in. The simplest and easiest way to do that would be to start running more obtrusive advertising. I’m referring to auto-play video ads, pop-unders, and interstitial ads. These ads are becoming […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: If Keith Olbermann Needs A Job Reference, I’m There For Him
People who don’t follow politics tend to believe that conservatives and liberals are just flip sides of the same coin. In other words, conservatives are pro-life, pro-gun, and fiscally conservative while liberals are pro-choice, anti-gun, and want to tax and spend, but otherwise, there are no real differences. However, if you follow politics closely, you’ll […]
I played a lot of sports when I was a kid, mainly at the Boys Club — basketball, baseball, football, and one year, even soccer, although I’m not proud of that. I was particularly terrible at football. I even broke my leg playing when I was 7 (It went all the way around in a […]
On this 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, one aspect that the pro-life community must continually remind our fellow countrymen of is the economics of the abortion industry. Similar to a successful corporation, the billion dollar infanticide business is the result of one of the most successful marketing campaigns in American history. This “silent holocaust” […]
The video features Lila Rose from LiveAction.org (via The Blog Prof). It’s powerful: The full essay is here: Kermit Gosnell and Roe v. Wade.
As reported earlier, Rahm Emanuel has been thrown off the ballot by a decision by an Illinois Appellate Court stating that Emanuel did not satisfy the residency requirement since he did not live in Chicago over the last year. This presents several major problems for Emanuel’s candidacy. First of all, it seems pretty sure that […]
The inch deep analysis that we get from the illiterati in the left-media shows that they have agendas, sure, but no grasp of history, logic, or facts. No better example of the facile nature of the Old Media can be had than Christiane Amanpour and on ABC News she strutted her imbecilic excuse for historical […]
The “mainstream” media must have tired itself out reinventing Jared Loughner as a Tea Party conservative. They didn’t even bother trying to make Casey Brezik fit the template; instead they simply ignored it when he slashed the throat of a dean thinking it was the Governor of Missouri. Via American Thinker: In September 2010 Missouri […]
Imagine the 24/7 media circus it would set off if a white guy went into a police station in Provo and started shooting up the place, wounding four officers. But if a black guy does it in Detroit, it barely causes a ripple: It was just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday when the gunman came into […]
: Remembering Col. Zoltan Dani 12 years later : Technology of downed U.S. stealth fighter is now being used by Chinese and Russians The balance of power in the world was changed in 21 seconds on March 27, 1999 by a colonel in the Hungarian Army. He’s retired, and back to his preferred career as a baker.: […]
Remember that “new tone” the left keeps talking about? Remember how they went ape-nuts over Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs symbols on her electoral campaign map? That was “violent,” the left claimed. That was lowering the level of debate, they chirped. It was evil, they slobbered. Well, I guess the left isn’t too upset at […]
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that a rally held by a coalition of Chicago-area black pastors that gathered to warn Illinois against same-sex marriage and civil unions was ignored by the Old Media in Chicago. Still, as unsurprising as it it, it’s a bit galling that this event went unreported on. The Illinois Family […]
Well, it looks like young people, at least in the U.K., care more about their body image and other things, rather than globull warming, but, hey, they should live their lives like perpetually pissed off teenagers, according to Grist “Generation Hot” is the 2 billion or so young people who will be stuck dealing with […]
Right Wing News has been around for a full decade now and during that time, I’ve raised money for politicians, for charities, and for people who I thought needed it. RWN led the first major blogger fundraising drive for Republican candidates back in 2006. We raised close to $300,000. In 2008, RWN was on the […]
Late last year, I wrote a column for Townhall called 10 Life Changing Books To Give This Christmas. One of those books is Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics 4th Ed: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy. Note the “4th Ed” part. That’s relevant because the book has recently been re-released. If you want a phenomenal, […]
Kermitt Gosnell, the murderous abortionist who killed a patient and slaughtered seven babies under the approving eye of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, was quite the butcher. Here’s a brief description of what was going on in his office, The clinic reeked of animal urine, courtesy of the cats that were allowed to roam (and […]
So reports The Politico: State of the union forecast: Atmospherics over policy When President Barack Obama steps into the House chamber Tuesday to deliver his second State of the Union address, ambience will trump substance. In his speech, the president will talk about jobs, the deficit and the future of the nation’s troubled economy, but […]
It’s no secret that I take a very dim view of Mitt Romney . If you want to know why, here’s a 2007 piece I wrote called The Conservative Case Against Mitt Romney. Still, back in 2007, I generally considered Romneycare to be a political positive for Mitt. Mitt should be talking health care all […]
The Epoch Times has a stunner of a story for January 22. Unbeknownst to most Americans, China insulted the United States right in front of Obama and the world by having its nationalist pianist, Lang Lang, play a Chinese propaganda song that called Americans “jackals” during the Chinese sponsored concert during the recent state dinner […]
If you haven’t heard yet, Obama’s going to go all centristy, and talk about jobs, jobs, jobs (which will then be followed by his typical AADD) Obama to Press Centrist Agenda in His Address President Obama will outline an agenda for “winning the future” in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, striking […]
