Rod Blagojevich is saying he fully intends to bring Rahm Emanuel into court as a witness in the next phase of his corruption trial. “Rahm is going to be a central witness in this case for us,” Blago told Fox News Chanel commentator Geraldo Rivera. Geraldo wondered if this would be a major distraction for […]
This farce is what passes for justice under government of, by, and for moonbats: David Weaving, who is serving a manslaughter sentence for striking and killing a 14-year-old boy with his car, is suing the victim’s parents, accusing them of being responsible for their son’s death because they allowed the boy to ride his bike […]
Being predominantly liberals, our rulers know that we’re no more intelligent than dogs, so it’s their responsibility to use our money to protect us from ourselves. For example, in suburban Phoenix, bureauweenies have posted signs warning us not to drink out of toilets: Chandler’s new City Hall comes with some features that have municipal workers […]
New Mexico Governor-elect Susana Martinez has promised to revoke the thousands of drivers’ licenses which have been issued by her state to illegal aliens under Gov. Bill Richardson. Under Richardson illegals did not have to show proof of citizenship to obtain a license. As the link points out, “The policy has made New Mexico a […]
I’m not sure how this is going to stop the seas from rising and start the healing of the Earth If President Barack Obama is not yet convinced that his international star power has faded, his next round of transatlantic summitry should clear up any lingering doubts. Coming off a marathon Asia trip where Obama […]
Leave it to the ACLU to ignore an issue that has Americans, both Left and Right, up in arms. Have you ever noticed that the ACLU tends to ignore the real issues 90% of the time? And the other 10% of the time, they usually do the right thing for the wrong reason(s). Witness the […]
After spending two years encouraging Democrats not to work with Republicans, getting their wish, and then complaining about it, liberals are really going to hate Obama pretending to go back to his new tone flibbity-flabitty-floop from the campaign: Just 20 days after his inauguration, with Republicans trying to block his stimulus bill, President Obama refused […]
Let’s start off with what has become a bit of conservative heresy these days: I don’t think it’s always a bad idea to raise taxes. In fact, because this country has spent so much more than we have, for so long, it’s practically a given that we’ll have to raise taxes at some point to […]
Although I’m not a big fan of Arianna Huffington or the Huffington Post, this lawsuit strikes me as a massive pile of horseflop, Two Democratic consultants are accusing Arianna Huffington and her business partner of stealing their idea for the powerhouse liberal website Huffington Post. Peter Daou and James Boyce charge that Huffington and partner […]
Here is a followup to last week’s story about Cody Alicea being told he could not fly his flag on his bike at Denair Middle School near Turlock, California because it would inflame the Hispanic students. The Superintendent changed his mind and decided to allow the flag (after a deluge of letters and emails and […]
Our collectivist rulers still have some work to do if they are going to root out the last remnants of the entrepreneurial spirit that built the country they are currently looting and dismantling. Right in the adopted home of a carpetbagging socialist Senator who went on to become Secretary of State, children were caught engaging […]
Abu Hamza has managed to get himself thrown in jail by whipping up his fellow Religion of Peaceniks to kill Britons. When he gets out, he’ll find his welfare mansion nicely spruced up — courtesy of British taxpayers: Hate preacher Abu Hamza’s family home is having a £40,000 makeover paid for by tax:payers, the Daily […]
Charlie Rangel has decided to change his tactics.: Usually he finds a way to steal tax payer money, like giving earmarks to a school named in his honor, or neglecting to pay his taxes, or live in four rent-controlled apartments even though based on his income he probably doesn’t even warrant one. Today different, today […]
Everywhere you turn the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) is getting lambasted. If it isn’t people refusing to abide by TSA directions, it’s stories of a “backlash against body scanners” because of the abusive treatment that TSA employees are doling out to travelers. People are becoming fed up with the whole edifice. But imagine how much […]
111 companies and organizations were granted waivers by Obama’s Dept. of Health and Human Services so that they could get out of having to comply with Obamacare and unions were particularly well rewarded by the HHS with these waivers. Interestingly, there was no great announcement of these waivers issued to the press. The HHS buried […]
More than a hundred years ago, writing in a deeply religious era, Robert Browning observed “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” Perhaps it’s no surprise that today, in a society with a pop and media culture dominated by secularists who have abandoned entirely the notion of heaven, […]
Time to break out the crystal balls again: Global Warming Could Lead to Vast Chocolate Shortage (via Steven Goddard) In a world that takes for granted the availability of delicious and affordable chocolate, it’s easy to forget that the popular product actually comes from trees — not magical elves or free-flowing cocoa rivers, sadly. But, […]
My past post on Affirmative Action and this post at HotAir, got me to thinking about the term “a level playing field.” Sarah Palin has given this piece of advice to the incoming freshman Republicans: Remember that some in the media will love you when you stray from the time-tested truths that built America into […]
Thank you Politico for publishing the funniest story of at least the past month. It’s not quite as delusional as the one about Nancy Pelosi (Pelosi and company being delusional, not the Politico, and, make sure to check out Nancy P’s San Francisco), but, well, you have to see this President Obama offered a lesson […]
If you’re reading a blog like Right Wing News, you’ve probably heard of the Laffer Curve. If you haven’t, here’s the self-explanatory graph: Long story short, what Arthur Laffer is trying to get across is that contrary to what some people believe, tax increases DON’T ALWAYS increase revenue to the government and tax decreases DON’T […]
* The Swift Boat Vets told the truth, the Willie Horton ad wasn’t racist, and Max Cleland’s patriotism wasn’t challenged in his Senate race. * You can’t have good without naming evil, rights without responsibilities, or decency without limits on behavior. * The GOP has completely rejected the advice of Frum, Brooks, Meggie Mac, etc. […]
Jeff Jacoby makes a point in his Townhall column today that I’ve been meaning to talk about in a little more depth for awhile, Can people be decent and moral without believing in a God who commands us to be good? Sure. There have always been kind and ethical nonbelievers. But how many of them […]

Maybe it was the fact that the whole world is laughing derisively at San Francisco. Maybe it was the fact that the very same week San Francsico supervisors: voted to fight childhood obesity by banning toys in Happy Meal-style kids meals, a nutrition professor announced that he had lost 27 pounds on a diet of […]
Imagine if a government-sponsored entity only existed because tax dollars bailed it out. Now imagine if that same government-sponsored entity owed the IRS $3 billion in back taxes. Now imagine if that entity contested the back taxes in a lawsuit against the IRS. Well, that is what is happening with Freddie Mac.
If leftists are good at one thing it is staying on message. Since 2006 when Nancy Pelosi was raised to the dizzying heights of Speaker of the House of Representatives the left has been chanting over and over that the voters wanted the country to take a hard left turn. This month’s election, however, proved […]
Liberals have long been having fits on the editorial pages, ranging anywhere from Hissy to Conniption to Unhinged Tools. Saturday’s full feeling of the paper is wacky and unhinged enough to make one go WharrblGarbl! Try Something Hard: Governing Yeah, it can be hard, which is why a man with virtually no real world experience, […]
Is “America’s” car company going to be sold to the Chinese and Middle Eastern investors?: : Will the American public and the Congress object?: : We shall find out this week as General Motors’ long-awaited post-Obama-bailout initial public offering will open Thursday.: : The U.S. government owns 61% of the company.: : As reported here in early October, China, via […]
Every policeman is your friend. It’s an axiom taught to countless children in grade school. If you want to be safe you can always trust the police. And until the advent of the TSA it’s a statement that probably was true. Researching this post I happened to come across a detailed picture of a woman […]
Thursday morning, in a post that received much attention and inspired much discussion, I made an observation about the way liberals tend to introduce their audiences to the subject matters they want to discuss. My observation was in the way they, in keeping with the tradition of all collectivist economies and totalitarian regimes, discourage the […]
