Apparently it will according to some who have actually beaten their way through the entire bill and read the contents: The Ways and Means Committee’s proposed bill language (pdf) would virtually require that the president impose an import tariff on any country that fails to clamp down on greenhouse gas emissions. Of course in this […]

Comrade Obama’s friends in the abortion industry aren’t going to like this. North Carolina taxpayers are giving teenagers $1/day to refrain from getting pregnant: The group College-Bound Sisters was founded at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro by Hazel Brown, a maternity nurse who thought too many teens were having babies. Brown said she […]

I was reading through Mark Sanford’s emails to his mistress in Argentina and it’s hard to even imagine how humiliating it must be for everyone involved, including his wife, to see those emails in the paper. Furthermore, despite myself, I felt a twinge of pity for Mark Sanford after reading this passage, “While all the […]

Have you ever been frustrated because you needed something done and couldn’t get a person on the other line who had the authority, competence, or even just the human compassion to listen to your problem and try to fix it? Most of us have been there at one time or another and it’s extremely frustrating, […]

* Could the Iranian regime have been emboldened to murder the protesters by the wimpiness of Obama’s Cairo speech? * Incidentally, now would be a really great time for Mark Sanford to pull an Arlen Specter. Just saying. * The Iranian people are in desperate need of large numbers of guns and explosives. The CIA […]

Doing a Q&A Friday every other week on RWN was a long running tradition — well, “long-running” for the internet anyway. However, over the time, the number of questions I was getting dropped off significantly, so I decided to discontinue the practice. However, I’ve had some requests to give it another shot and I’ve decided […]

From my special report today in The American Spectator: Neil Barofsky is “SIGTARP,” the special investigator general whose job is to keep an eye on disbursement from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the $3 trillion financial bailout that was rushed through Congress in October. Last week, Grassley sent a stern letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy […]

The Right has taken the Mark Sanford affair particularly hard for at least three reasons. 1) News of John Ensign’s affair just broke. Having another affair hit the news so soon afterwards is frustrating to conservatives. 2) Unlike Ensign, Mark Sanford was a legitimate 2012 contender and was viewed as one of the biggest rising […]

54% of Americans favor smaller government/less services, up 4 percentage points in one year (full poll here). Certainly, the number has been higher, but, will the trend continue as Independents, moderates, and wishy washy fell for hopeNchange Republicans wake up to the Nanny State progressive agenda of the Democrats? Also in the poll, Republicans need […]

OK, I’ll admit, I did not watch, ore really even read, anything during the day Wednesday as ABC News and The White House became one and the same. But, see there were two little problems for Obama and his “I’m not going to do away with private insurance *wink wink*” agenda: Mark Sanford, and ABC […]

Wow. When Mark Sanford originally was “missing” for five days, I defended him — at least to a certain extent. Yesterday, when the “Mark Sanford is Missing” story hit Drudge, I thought it was tremendously unfair to Sanford. Couldn’t the guy take a four day week-end without people proclaiming he is “missing?” …because he has […]

“Brave Sir Obama ran away. Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Obama turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Obama!” — A slightly edited version […]

Right before the weekend, Pelosi and Obama want to destroy the Country.

I’ve been saying all along that barring some sort of unforeseen mishap, if Sarah Palin decides to run in 2012, she will start out as the favorite to take the nomination. There are two reasons for that. First off, as I have been saying for quite a while, she has a very strong, enthusiastic base […]

Democrats are feminizing America in more ways than one: A “man-cession.” That’s what some economists are starting to call it. Of the 5.7 million jobs Americans lost between December 2007 and May 2009, nearly 80 percent had been held by men. Mark Perry, an economist at the University of Michigan, characterizes the recession as a […]

Congratulations to Archbishop George Niederauer, who beat out Carrie Prejean to win the coveted Pink Brick award, which was granted by militant homosexuals who continue to throw tantrums over the passage of Prop 8, banning the sacrilege of homosexual “marriage”: At the urging of a member of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, the San Francisco […]

You’ve heard of Perez Hilton, right? The obnoxious bully who insults people all day long on his huge gossip blog and draws semen dribbling out of their mouths on their photos? Well, after picking a fight with Carrie Prejean on gay marriage at the Miss USA (Nobody has yet been able to explain why a […]

My guest tonight on Right Doctor my radio show for RFCradio.com is Saul Anuzis, former state chair of the Michigan Republican Party and contender for national chair this last time. Saul is also working for American Solutions on the Card Check issue. In addition, he’s been named as one of 13 Republicans to be part […]

am so bored with Republican sex scandals. First, they are not nearly as potentially problematic to the rule of law and to policy issues as all the Democrat financial scandals. Second, the sex scandals are one more way for the Democrats to hamstring the Republicans. Mostly, I’m just sick of the left screeching “hypocrite!” Good […]

Last week-end, I got together with Texas Governor Rick Perry for an interview. I found him to be an extremely impressive guy over the phone. He has a great personality and is a terrific ambassador for the state of Texas. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! Now you actually wrote […]

I wonder if the letter included Obama’s typical apologies? Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a […]

But, don’t say that the Obama administration is not telling Government Motors what to do. Not because that is incorrect, but, just because they don’t want you to say it General Motors Corp will do the “heavy lifting” to help meet the ambitious goal set by President Barack Obama of having one million plug-in hybrid […]

The main criticism of capitalism and the free-market is that they’re mean. But look at the states with socialistic policies and their unemployment rates and cost of living. Who is mean again? See the gory socialist numbers at American Issues Project. Also, smart guys like John Stossel, Jim Hoft aka Gateway Pundit and Danny Glover […]

Ever wonder why we spend more and more and more on education, and yet kids keep learning less? Here’s a clue: Hundreds of New York City public school teachers accused of offenses ranging from insubordination to sexual misconduct are being paid their full salaries to sit around all day playing Scrabble, surfing the Internet or […]

He sets it up with these observations: 1. There is nothing at all that any Western country can do to avoid the charge of intervening in Iran’s foreign affairs. The deep belief that everything–especially anything in English–is already and by definition an intervention is part of the very identity and ideology of the theocracy. 2. […]

The reason Comrade Obama has vacillated over whether he’s on the side of Iran’s terrorist dictatorship or those rising up against it is simple: he sides with the former, but knows that admitting it openly would steepen the decline of his approval ratings. No one with even half a clue expected Obama to confront America’s […]

Personally, I am not a big fan of tattoos — especially for women. In fact, in my entire life, I can think of exactly two women who had tats that I liked. One of was some chick I passed in Wal-Mart, who was heavily tattooed up and down her arm and neck and I just […]

In politics, it’s not about where the poll numbers are today, it’s about where they’re going to be by the next election. Some Republicans have said that it’s foolish for the GOP to lay down a marker on fiscal issues because Americans love big government now and aren’t going to make decisions in the voting […]

Yesterday, when the “Mark Sanford is Missing” story hit Drudge, I thought it was tremendously unfair to Sanford. Couldn’t the guy take a four day week-end without people proclaiming he is “missing?” Moreover, as Redstate has noted, the story isn’t nearly as troubling when you know all the facts, First, we need to be clear […]

Scary news from Iran (Interestingly, there is a difference between the two page and single page versions.) TEHRAN (Reuters)– Iranian authorities said they would teach an exemplary lesson to “rioters” held in the worst unrest since the birth of the Islamic Rapublic and pressed accusations that violence was being incited by Western powers. (EDITORS’ NOTE: […]
