Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Politico must feel it has a delicious little story of media feuding to report upon. Recently Meghan McCain shook her head in amazement that President Obama would stoop so low as to appear on a Ryan Seacrest show. Seacrest has shot back at McCain snarking that McCain herself tried to get on his show, so […]
The Washington Post finally gets around to wondering if Obama really felt voter’s pain, and realizes that The Lightworker is rather detached President Obama’s failure to channel the anxieties of ordinary voters has shaken the faith that many Democrats once had in his political gifts and his team’s political skill. Political gifts and skill? Perhaps […]
The National Republican Senatorial Committee spent $3 million in the week before the election on the ill-fated campaign of Carly Fiorina, despite polling that showed her trailing by 9 points to the tiny Marxist Barbara Boxer (Fiorina ended up losing by… 9.8%). In the mean time, Ken Buck lost by a tiny margin in Colorado; […]
Originally posted at Big Government With the mauling of the Democrats, their ideology, and policies, in addition to: some RINOS in the primaries, let’s hope the new Congress heard Americans loud and clear on Tuesday and the United States government is no longer a punchline, and will return to sound fiscal and free market policies without […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ***** I’ve already posted on Keith Olbermann. I say let the guy rot in the wasteland of forgotten left-wing bloviators. But the suspension debate at MSNBC lingers today with the pathetic Rachel Maddow, the fever-swamp leftist who happens to have a her own show: “On Cable News and Cable Not-News” (via […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ***** Via The Blaze. This is just part of the larger MSNBC commie catfight bewtween O’Donnell and Glenn Greenwald: God this is wonderful. Matt Lewis has the background, “‘Morning Joe’ Battle: Lawrence O’Donnell vs. Glenn Greenwald,” and he notes: … the larger debate here is over whether Democrats will view the […]
Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge asks an interesting question about the latest jobs data that the Obama administration has released to the public — and to a mostly unquestioning Old Media. As Durden calculates it, 3.5 million workers have mysteriously disappeared from the work force. If this is true then the unemployment rate is a […]
The headline: Gibbs: GOP efforts to repeal healthcare won’t get past Senate It’s not “healthcare.” Nobody’s trying to repeal “healthcare.” If anything, we’re hoping Republicans in Congress will make sure “healthcare” is more available in the future than it will be, should the recently-passed, 2,500+ page, trillion-dollar-plus push toward fully socialized medicine in America ever […]
Happens every time: The 2010 campaign was by far the most expensive midterm election in history. While we won’t have the final numbers until January, spending estimates last month put the price tag at roughly $4 billion. That’s $12.90 per U.S. resident. Not counting illegal immigrants, I don’t think. Of that total, at least $293 […]

Anyone going to see the new DreamWorks animation film Megamind this weekend will notice something interesting midway through. There are actually people in Hollywood who will mock President Obama’s campaign, showing “No, You Can’t” signs that represent the “Yes, We Can” signs that were plastered all over college campuses and hybrid vehicles two years ago. […]
You can probably guess which way they’ll go, I’m sure The globalization of the consumer society and global warming are quickly becoming the two biggest threats to future wealth and happiness, according to the United Nations. I’m sure people would be much happier to live like it is, well, hell, there’s been trade around the […]
To be honest, I’m not sure why we are even bothering with what’s going on at a fourth rate news organization with personalities who are pretty much unknown by the American public, who would be hard pressed to even find the station on their remote. Perhaps it’s that I have a soft spot for these […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ********** Earlier, from dumb lefty Kevin Drum: I know this won’t be much solace to everyone who worked on Prop 19, but…..this isn’t so bad, really. Given the automatic headwind of getting people to vote Yes on anything, the additional headwind of a big Republican turnout, plus the general nervousness that […]
Intriguing story, via Politico: MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely without pay after POLITICO reported that he made three campaign contributions to Democratic candidates. MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement Friday: “I became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended […]
Once again we get a fly-on-the-wall perspective of what is going on in the office of “our congressman,” hereafter known as our lame duck congressman. So, now that he’s been pitched out on his left-wing, what will “our congressman” be planning for that lame duck session? Let’s peek in and see… Me, I call it […]
As our economy staggers toward the next major collapse, you might wonder where Comrade Obama’s conspicuously incompetent tax-cheating Treasury Secretary gets his ideas. Here’s where: In the midst of debates on financial regulation and China’s currency in April, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner sat down to discuss the U.S. economy — with comedian Jon Stewart. […]
It’s going to take a little more than this to keep California from being pulled into bankruptcy by the ever-growing entitlement class: Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneger says welfare recipients can no longer use state-issued debit cards at medical marijuana shops, psychics and other businesses whose services have been deemed “inconsistent with the intent” of the program. […]
A party is a party. Sure, in politics there are internal fights, jealousies, and intrigues, but when the final push to election day is upon its members, a party supports the one carrying the party banner. They may be disgruntled because the man they supported didn’t win the primary, but they hold their tongue and […]
This has been an interesting election cycle we are living through, hasn’t it? But another interesting one is soon to unfold in Chicago as the Mayor’s seat becomes up for grabs next year. The fun has already begun here in Chi-Town. Not long ago, for instance, an amusing little episode of lefty on lefty hatin’ […]
Last January, Jennifer Cline sent a letter to President Obama telling him of her woes. She had been diagnosed with two kinds of cancer, she lost her job and was about to lose her home. Surprisingly the president wrote her back and told her that “things will get better.” Apparently they haven’t. Cline has been […]
They seem about as clueless over what happened on Tuesday as Obama Even before it’s certain that Renee Ellmers will go to Washington as the new congresswoman from North Carolina’s 2nd District, she is showing a vigorous streak of independence from her party’s establishment. Ellmers, whom the tea party backs, and Carter Wrenn, a political […]
Its called quantitative easing, which is just banker talk for devaluing the a currency. Today the Fed is about to work some “black magic.” They are going to create $600 billion dollars out of nothing. It absolutely no different than a corporation vowing to improve its fiscal performance simply by printing a lot of new […]
The humorous headline for this Politico article: “Is losing good for business?” Why is that humorous? Both on the front page and at the top of the single article page, they feature a picture of Rachel Maddow. You know, the Rachel Maddow who was prominent on that loser of a liberal radio station, Air Deadbeat, […]
First off, let me give you a little history lesson. Before Sarah Palin or the Tea Parties made a big splash, Jim DeMint was on point in the Senate, fighting on behalf of conservatives. Time and time again, conservatives would be cheering themselves hoarse because of something DeMint was doing and yet, his staffers would […]
Thomas Sowell is one of the most brilliant and respected conservatives in America and I was thrilled to have an opportunity to interview him about his latest book, Dismantling America: and other controversial essays. Here’s a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! When I asked around for suggested questions for you, Reuters’ James Pethokoukis […]
Trust me. I’m going to make sure this health care bill is never, ever, ever implemented.” — John Boehner
I imagine that thrill is maybe not quite so tingly on your leg anymore. — Michele Bachmann to Chris Matthews I’m delighted that the country will not be plagued by Senators Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell, and probably Joe Miller in Alaska. In a wave election a candidate has to beat the voters over the […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ***** As expected, conservatives crushed the left on Tuesday (and for good reason). The indicators are everywhere: Republicans picked up 60 seats in the House, 6 seats in the Senate, a majority of governorships, and a whopping 680 seats in state legislatures across the country. The headline from this morning’s New […]

In today’s chunks of our discussion you begin to find out how he applies them to the issues that interest us here at NRB. First up: the anti-Semitic […]
