No need for one of those catchy headlines. The details of the article supply all the “ya think?” needed Public confidence in President Obama has hit a new low, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. Four months before midterm elections that will define the second half of his term, nearly six in 10 […]
I’ve got two on this: See, “Imperial Valley Press Mocks Injury of Decorated Marine Vet and GOP Candidate Nick Popaditch,” And, “Imperial Valley Press Apolgizes for Sick Cartoon Villifying GOP Candidate and Iraq Vet Nick Popaditch.” Also, at Michelle Malkin’s, “Mocking War Hero Nick Popaditch: A Teachable Moment.”
Great video from the College Republican National Committee: Is America too big to fail? Is President Obama playing with lethal levels of debt? The answers, of course, are no and yes. The youth watch the actions of their elders and it’s a curse for their generation. For the first time in history, the younger generation […]
A year ago, or more, the Houston area folks got together under Rob Willington’s excellently conceived Rebuild the Party banner. This core group of folks ended up starting the Houston Tea Party. The Houston Tea Party is primarily based in Harris County, the biggest county in the nation, and very representative of the nation as […]
President Obama believes war is the answer. Or, at least it seems that way: Barack Obama has decided that fiery self defense and withering mockery of Republicans are the best modes of attack as he tries to save Democrats from a drubbing in November’s mid-term elections. The US president road-tested his pitch to grassroots Democrats […]
I’m asking because it sure seems like she’s getting ready to run. People bring up Hillary Clinton’s negatives, but that just points out the obvious: Barack Obama won, Hillary Clinton lost. It wasn’t just her liberal policies and her grating voice. It’s that she was a woman. What are Sarah Palin’s favorables with women? With […]
As will sometimes happen, given climate’s natural fluctuation, the District of Criminals has been getting socked with a hot summer. Fortunately God gave humans the smarts to adjust their environments, which they have been doing by cranking up the AC. But the Washington Post does not approve: In a country that’s among the world’s highest […]
Original post at 73wire.com The Hill is reporting that Scott Brown (R-MA) will vote for the Democrats financial “reform” bill to regulate yet another segment of the economy.: : Brown qualifies his vote: Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) announced Monday he will vote for Wall Street reform when it comes up for a final vote, all but […]
How surprising — buried in the bloated Barney Frank/Chris Dodd/B. Hussein Obama financial regulatory power grab are penalties for being male and Caucasian: The Dodd-Frank financial regulatory bill, ostensibly aimed at reforming Wall Street and preventing a future financial crisis, will impose racial and gender quotas on financial institutions if passed, according to economist Diana […]
Last month we discussed the convention that was to be held in Chicago planned by the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HIHZ’-buht-ah-tuh-REER’). It was to be their second Chicago convention, the first held in 2009. The event was supposed to be held on July 11 at the Marriott hotel in Oak Brook but the hotel chain […]
The most often used epithet cast at President Obama is that he’s a raving socialist. It is an easy charge to make what with his wanting to “spread the wealth,” his desire to destroy the autonomy of the business community and place it squarely under the thumb of government, and his constant expansion of big […]
Really, no one should be shocked, though, The Politico sure seems to be President Barack Obama has long boasted about the transformative change he’s bringing to the country. But by the time those reforms finally arrive, he could be long gone from the White House. Some of Obama’s biggest promises won’t go into effect until […]
I’ve been having some weird tech problems with RWN all week-end. At one point, the page was loading extremely slowly — but my hosting company said everything was working normally. Then, things seemed to clear up for most people, but the page still loads EXTREMELY slowly for me. I thought that perhaps that was some […]
You remember Cindy Sheenhan, right? Her 15 minutes of Bush deranged fame is over, but, she still has a wee bit of credit left over The trial for activist Cindy Sheehan over her arrest earlier this year is scheduled to begin in D.C. Superior Court. Sheehan was among eight anti-war protesters arrested March 20 after […]
Basketball is not my sport of choice, so I had no vested interest in the outcome of the recent drama surrounding LeBron James.: Even though I still consider Florida my home state, I don’t care that he’s chosen to play in Miami.: I am, however, struck by the degree to which LeBron’s decision mirrors that […]
Original post at Big Government According to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unemployment benefits are the best way to create jobs, so why didn’t she get with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and press him to schedule a pre-recess vote on: the: Republican alternative to the: Democrat’s: jobs/unemployment benefits bill introduced on June 30, 2010 by Senator Scott […]
I’ve been burning it up over at AmPow! Here’s the morning’s entries: * “Hooters Liveblogging!” * “Weekend Cartoon Roundup!” * “MSM in Lockstep with DOJ on New Black Panther Party.” * “New York Times Wants to ‘Keep Gun Possession to a Minimum’.” * “Raoul Moat Story Dominates Britain’s Sunday News.” * “July Gloom?” * “World […]
On the 7th of July, the NY Times loved the Constitution, at least as far as Obama and Co. suing Arizona over their immigration law (which mirrors federal law) using the “supremacy clause”. But, see, there is a problem with the Left: they pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they like, often depending […]
Originally published at NewsReal Well, it wasn’t really 15 minutes of fame. It was more like 15 minutes of toolish media whoring, filled with prevarications for which the media itself was a more than willing pimp. On Tuesday, Levi Johnston finally admitted the shocking news that he was, in fact, lying. By shocking, I of […]
An update to my previous Lego entry. Turn down the volume a bit, but it’s something else, other than that: Cross-posted from American Power.
Headline: Deficit hits $1 trillion in June for second year Oh, sure, start out with the bad news. Skip to the second paragraph: The deficit was $1.005 trillion at the end of June for fiscal year 2010, which is $81 billion less than it was after nine months of fiscal 2009, according to a Congressional […]
Originally posted at NewsReal: When the schadenfreude-licious Alvin Greene won the Democrat nomination for senate in South Carolina, the ever delusional Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) accused Republicans of funding Alvin Greene as a “plant” to ensure Senator Jim DeMint’s reelection. Yes, that Jim DeMint. The one who would clearly and soundly trounce any Democrat opponent […]
Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up, and there’s an extra kick in that Spencer Ackerman famously called for a Nuremburg-style execution of former President George W. Bush. It turns out that Larry Thomas, the actor who played “The Soup Nazi” on Seinfeld, took issue with Ackerman’s post on Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi, who is […]

Some might remember the complaints against my political science campus bulletin board. I was forced to remove a Chuck DeVore “Bounce Boxer” bumper sticker because posting it apparently violated obscure Ed Code rules for non-political advocacy on public displays, a rule that had never been enforced during my entire ten-year tenure at LBCC. I had […]
A University of Illinois instructor of the school’s Introduction to Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought course was fired at the end of last semester because he had the temerity to send a student an email that explained the Catholic doctrine against homosexuality. In the email, professor Ken Howell of Champaign wrote, “Natural Moral Law says […]
Funny stuff from the Washington Post If imitation is the highest form of flattery, the “tea party” movement must be honored. In an effort to replicate the tea party’s success, 170 liberal and civil rights groups are forming a coalition that they hope will match the movement’s political energy and influence. They promise to “counter […]
When Barack Obama took office, one of the early things he did was install Hilda Solis, a long-time union operative, as head of the Department of Labor. And one of the first things she did was to ease the reporting requirements on unions, softening the violation of disclosure rules. In August of 2009 Labor Sec. […]
Let’s see: The NY Times pitches a hissy fit over Arizona police asking for the “papers” of those who have come in contact with the police during a lawful interaction. Obama sending federal agents around to companies to ask for the papers on their workers? No freakout. That’s strange, eh? The Obama administration has replaced […]
When Republican Utah voters decided they wanted a more consistently conservative representative than a 3-term senator who promised to only serve two, defeated incumbent Bob Bennett had a choice to make.: He could exit gracefully and be proud of his service, and a career marked without scandal (an admittedly low bar, but an impressive feat […]
