No Problems With Union Nap Time

Do you get paid to sleep on the job? The union employees of New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority apparently do. And if caught sleeping on the job, the punishment seems to be just a slap on the wrist, a wink and a nod, and business as usual afterward. All at $33 dollars an hour of […]

DoJ: Sanctuary Cities? Yeah, They’re Fine

Idiocy from the DoJ The Justice Department sees it differently, saying Arizona is unconstitutionally interfering with the federal government’s role in immigration control. “There is a big difference between a state or locality saying they are not going to use their resources to enforce a federal law, as so-called sanctuary cities have done, and a […]

Companies Sitting On Cash, But, Not Hiring. Media Shocked!

Felons Put Franken Over the Top

It’s no secret why our Democrat rulers will not tolerate the enforcement of immigration law: Third World peasants, who will be the first to wind up on welfare as taxes and regulations strangle the economy, reliably vote for them.

Progress: Schools Teaching Your 10-Year-Old Child About Anal Sex

Originally posted at NewsReal: Funny, but I always thought that schools should focus on teaching our children subjects like reading, writing and math. Not so, evidently!

Mel Gibson’s Crazy-Go-Round

It’s not exactly a secret that Mel Gibson’s a little loopy. After all, when you get stopped by the police, go on an anti-Semitic tirade, and refer to a female cop as “sugar tits,” it doesn’t exactly give people the impression that you handle stress well. This was all blamed on alcoholism, which, even if […]

Pro-Pedophile Propaganda: For It Or Against It, David Frum?

It’s shaping up to be a busy week for David Frum, what with manning the speculum for Andrew Sullivan (OB-Atlantic), picking irrational fights with David Horowitz, and hourly dry humping of his blog visitor stats. Perhaps that’s why honesty, integrity, and concern for his reputation fell completely to the wayside. Visions of a traffic spike […]

Even Hillary Supporters Shocked at Obama Tactics

Politics makes for strange bedfellows, all right. In light of appalling revelations of the fraud and intimidation Obamunists used to steal the Democrat nomination from Hillary, her own supporters — left high and dry by a mainstream media that is for all intents and purposes part of the Obama machine — are appealing to patriots […]

The Republican Establishment’s Favorite RINOS: Is Anybody Sorry They’re Gone?

More and more often, we’re seeing grassroots conservatives line up against establishment Republicans in primary races. What’s notable, however, is what has happened after the establishment’s candidates have lost the battle.
