I dropped off a $15 “Bionicle” toy yesterday at the annual “Stuff-a-Bus” toy drive at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Those giving toys walk right into the buses, which are loan from the Orange County Transit Authority. And seriously, the buses are filled to brim with toys! The NHL’s Mighty Ducks play at the Honda […]
Oh my gosh. Seriously. My oldest kids are home from college, my house if full children ages 12-22. I’m shopping, cleaning, cooking, wrapping, and going to Christmas parties. I don’t have time to blog. But here I am because this is so important. The Democrats are trying to rush this health care bill through when […]
Headline: Low targets, goals dropped: Copenhagen ends in failure Failure? Why failure? They went there to make an agreement, and they did. The UN climate summit reached a weak outline of a global agreement in Copenhagen tonight, falling far short of what Britain and many poor countries were seeking and leaving months of tough negotiations […]
My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND. You get lots of FREE audio and video highlights from the week in conservative talk radio — the best of Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and many others. Since my deadline, here’s what’s been up: Mark Steyn will be guest hosting for Sean […]
-By Warner Todd Huston A recalcitrant teachers union in Florida once again shows that reform for the sake of the kids doesn’t interest it. A federal program called Race to the Top bestows federal money on any district that institutes merit pay and reforms its schools. Guess who hates the idea. Yep, you guessed it: […]
Just imagine the furor from the media, the Nutroots, and Democrats on the floor of the House if Grayson had an “R” after his name Not everyone thinks imitation is the best form of flattery. In fact, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando took such offense at a parody website aimed at unseating him that […]
You have to admit, if nothing else it has been entertaining watching all the factions among Democrats go to war over this health care fiasco. You have the Liberal caucus in the House saying no vote without a public option. Then there are the Blue Dogs saying no vote with a public option. You have […]
For those of you interested or keeping up, Copenhagen’s Climate Change Summit has been a disaster. India and China had had enough. Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along with their respective delegations as talks failed. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev left the deadlocked UN climate summit […]
Bloomberg is reporting this troubling information: As vanishing credit spurred the government-led rescue of dozens of financial institutions, Harvard was so strapped for cash that it asked Massachusetts for fast-track approval to borrow $2.5 billion. Almost $500 million was used within days to exit agreements known as interest-rate swaps that Harvard had entered to finance […]
Harry Reid has called a vote to close cloture on Monday at 1am. This is essentially a vote to pass the bill and is critical. Encourage McConnell to continue filibustering. Other Senators that need to hear from you: Blanche Lincoln Ben Nelson Roland Burris Claire McCaskill Jim Webb Russ Feingold
That is all.

A last minute deal has reportedly been reached at the snowbound Copenhagen spectacle that will transfer $100 billion of OUR MONEY to odious Third-World dictators like Robert Mugabe on behalf of the flourishing polar bears. Leaders and ministers from about 30 countries hammered out an outline climate accord early on Friday morning, hours before some […]
Taking a slight break from politics Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Drive carefully. It’s not […]
Senate Republicans have had health care plans. They also have the only two medical doctors in the Senate. The docs discuss why the health care bill is “scary”: The bill is here. Dr. Coburn says in his Wall Street Journal op-ed: I recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress actually implements the Medicare […]
When Michael Steele ran for the Senate in 2006, the Rightroots blogger fundraising group that I ran supported him. When he ran for RNC Chair, he was my first choice. Since then, although he has certainly made a few missteps along the way, I’ve remained a strong supporter of Michael Steele and have continued to […]
There hasn’t been much news about it in the U.S. but an American citizen has been arrested by Cuban authorities and has been placed in one of Cuba’s most secure facilities. Cuba has yet to announce what charges they are leveling against the man but he was arrested after he gave out laptop computers, cellphones […]
Things are getting fun in Copenhagen, and I’m not talking about being about to playing in the rare heavy snow that has fallen The leading global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate shocked reporters in Copenhagen with a dose of American reality with his prediction Thursday morning that the U.S. Senate will not pass a […]
Here is a lecture I gave as part of the Ronald Reagan Political Lecture Series at Oberlin College.
People just don’t want this bill. I think the big mistake was skipping the step of winning public support for a particular plan. It wasn’t enough that people believed there was a problem. People needed to believe the solution wasn’t worse than the problem. We were supposed to look away and trust them. The trust […]
After having spent a year forcing her members to take tough vote after tough vote on unpopular measures, Nancy Pelosi is promising not to do that any more. Or at least until the 2010 election is over. She repeated several times to reporters what her approach to being Speaker next year was all about. Hours […]
Maybe it’s because this latest generation has grown up on the internet, but I’ve noticed lately that a lot of people do not seem to have an appropriate sense of what should be private and public information on the internet. People whose relationship status on Facebook goes from “In a relationship” to “It’s complicated” to […]
Big Labor has, for the most part, fallen all over itself to help its patron President get his Obamacare policies passed in Congress spending millions to do so. If Obamacare should pass many millions will lose their healthcare and will be forced into government healthcare. According to the CBO at least 10 million will lose […]
For those wondering why the Illinois Republican Party can’t seem to bet Democrats, even criminal Democrats, here is one reason… I meant to mention this story yesterday and didn’t get to it. I guess the reason why I wasn’t so all fired up to highlight it is that it all seemed as no surprise, it […]
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress passes the medicare cuts in the health care bill. He has gotten all kinds of grief about that from the left, but I think they may have forgotten that Coburn was a practicing physician for 25 years. I think he knows how […]
The potential damage to our security interests at home and abroad of putting left-wing extremists in charge of the country could hardly be overstated. Our Community Activist in Chief has actually appointed a known communist spy as Ambassador to El Salvador. On Dec. 9, Obama nominated Mari Del Carmen Aponte to be ambassador to El […]
The Democrats did it to themselves. Not unlike President Bush’s insistence on pushing Amnesty to the fore, the Democrats have self-immolated on the pyre of health care. It didn’t have to be this way. The Dems could have gone for bipartisan reform….and they still could, but they are damaged, no matter. They wanted to push […]
