What’s happening on the road to nationalized health care? The American Medical Association has long battled Democrats who oppose protecting doctors from malpractice lawsuits. But during a private meeting at the White House last month, association officials said, they found one Democrat willing to entertain the idea: President Obama. In closed-door talks, Mr. Obama has […]

After what appears to have been another rigged election in Iran, the Iranian people are rioting in the streets. That makes for a hell of a comparison to the human garbage that rioted in the steets of LA after the Lakers won, doesn’t it? Iranian kids are in the streets fighting for freedom, while punks […]

Don’t forget, wear green today in support of the protesters in Iran Supporters had been due to turn out en masse in Tehran on Monday afternoon, despite government warnings to stay off the streets. But this morning, a statement on Mr Mousavi’s campaign website announced that the demonstration had been postponed – although it said […]

Purple Avenger is posting on Ace’s blog, inviting comments: Among your purchases, what are your big wins and epic fails? One of each, please. As of now there are 547 comments, so you know there is some interesting/entertaining reading in there. For my money — the same way George Washington was posthumously promoted to outrank […]

And China is making no bones about it: China will not make a binding commitment to reduce carbon emissions, putting in jeopardy the prospects for a global pact on climate change. Officials from Beijing told a UN conference in Bonn yesterday that China would increase its emissions to develop its economy rather than sign up […]

On one of my favorite topics, anonymous blogging — James Joyner (via Glenn) is unhappy with one particular bit of outage: While I generally find the practice of revealing people’s secrets to the public distasteful, there are times when it’s appropriate. Public officials who are abusing their power is the most obvious case. Here, however, […]

More: Via Dr. Melissa Couthier’s Twitter, Don Surber catches how the ACLU celebrates Flag Day To celebrate, the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is raising a fuss over a law that would allow teachers — not school boards — to decide whether to lead students in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Read […]

When ideology trumps compassion President Barack Obama outlined another $313 billion in cuts to government health care spending over 10 years, largely impacting hospitals, as he hunts additional dollars to pay for expanded coverage for the uninsured. Some major health industry groups swiftly criticized the proposal in one of the clearest signs yet that the […]

First of all It is impossible to know for sure how much the ostensible re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad represents the preference of an essentially conservative Iranian public and how much, as opposition voters passionately believe, it is the imposed verdict of a fundamentally authoritarian regime. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot […]

Do you realize what an incredible week this has been? I’m ready to go ahead and call it right now: In the months and years ahead, when Republicans and democrats try to figure out when the national scene all turned around, there will be bipartisan agreement that the fickle wheel of fortune did its spinning […]

“I’ve said hello to Stephen Johns a number of times…” Dennis Prager is on the board of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, the scene of a fatal terrorist attack earlier this week. On Thursday, Prager remembered the Museum security guard who died in the line of duty. (Audio archives are members-only). Because the […]

Two nuts apparently equal vindication of the Department of Homeland Security report on “right-wing extremists”. And Paul Krugman, like many of his ilk, ignores the dearth of statistical support his premise has to make this claim: But with the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion fanatic, closely followed by a shooting by a […]

What happens when you mix socialized medicine with AGW idiocy? The Lower Mainland’s health authorities will have to dig more than $4 million a year out of their already stretched budgets to pay B.C.’s carbon tax and offset their carbon footprints. Critics say the payments mean the government’s strategy to fight climate change will further […]

Some of you people still don’t think Twitter is useful. You’re wrong. I’ll write a post regarding the purpose of Twitter later. This post is for those using Twitter and wondering how to organically grow their influence. Here’s five ways to do it: Interest: Boring is bad. I know that Twitter asks “What are you […]

Chairman Zero has made it clear he doesn’t see any point venturing into space when money can be better spent nationalizing industries and paying his supporters to sit home and watch Oprah. But that doesn’t mean NASA doesn’t have a role in the Obamination Administration. Any agency with a bureaucracy can make itself useful by […]

The impending nationalization of the healthcare industry is great news for a new generation of Trofim Lysenkos, who can now force taxpayers to fund whatever flaky notions happen to be rattling around in their hollow skulls. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) says he’s found a cost effective way to address chronic pain, stress, and other illnesses: […]

Barack Obama is like the reverse Midas. Every issue he gets involved with turns to disaster. The Gitmo closing is a perfect example. It was a terrible idea to close Gitmo in the first place, but he decided to do it anyway. So, the question then became: what do we do with the people like […]

Earlier this week, deranged white supremacist Truther James Von Brunn, fatally shot a guard at the Holocaust Museum. In the days since, crucial information has leaked out about Von Brunn. He’s a registered Democrat from Maryland. He hated George Bush, other people he believed were “neo-conservatives,” and Christianity. According to the FBI, Von Brunn may […]

After much thought, I decided to make a design change to Right Wing News. From this point on, you will be able to see all of the latest articles on RWN in a single glance in the “Latest Headlines” section at the top of the page. If you click on the article, it will take […]

I’m certainly not the biggest Madonna fan, nor do I necessarily think being around her is the best environment for a child growing up. She’s a spoiled, eccentric celebrity who once made a book of soft core porn. Like a lot of celebrities, now that she’s gotten older, she wants to give back and share […]

Yet another case where Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on people making less then $250k, or whatever the level that Joe Biden gaffe’d on is, could soon be broken? Sort of (more on that later) The use of company-issued mobile phones could trigger new federal income taxes on millions of Americans as a “fringe […]

They said, ‘Set aside the rule of law, let’s strip secured creditors, bondholders, of their rights. Take them away outside of the bankruptcy process and give them to the political cronies and the auto workers’ unions. It’s almost like looking at Putin’s Russia. You want to reward your political friends at the expense of the […]

Back on Wednesday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced the launch of a campaign to support free enterprise, being heavily concerned with what the Obama administration and the Democrats, but, mostly the Obama administration, is doing to the free enterprise system. It, unsurprisingly, what with the Compliant Obama Media and all, got very little press […]

Even the AMA thinks the Obama health plan stinks. Not that they have much leverage. With government run health care, they’ll be forced to participate or else. And if you haven’t seen this video yet, you need to watch it. Why should we trust the government to run health care? In the video you’ll a […]

Seriously. At least that’s what the macro model I built says. It has some very sophisticated algorithms. According to the model, the associated bandwidth cost for this post was enough to keep the blog hosting gang going and because of that, they kept making payments on all the computer equipment, power and rent/lease obligations they […]

Who would have thought that when totalitarianism conquered America, it would be ushered in not by advancing tanks or mushroom clouds, but by do-gooder bureaucratic absurdity like this: Throwing orange peels, coffee grounds and grease-stained pizza boxes in the trash will be against the law in San Francisco, and could even lead to a fine. […]

It would be hilarious, if only it were a joke. The leftist clowns to whom misguided voters have safeguarded our national security now want terrorists captured on foreign battlefields to be mirandized like the petty criminals liberals would have us believe they are. When 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was captured on March 1, 2003, […]

Perhaps because the Left spent the last few years obsessively talking about George Bush as if he were Hitler, the Left is desperate to anoint a new “leader” of the Republican Party so they’ll have someone to fixate on, Nearly half (47 percent) of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents surveyed in a USA Today/Gallup Poll failed […]

“I am shocked and saddened by today’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.” — Barack Obama, June 10, 2009 on the Holocaust Museum Shooting “Them Jews ain’t going to let (Obama) talk to me. I told […]

I’m not the sort of person who generally has anything to say about how someone dresses especially since I’m certainly not going to make anyone’s “best dressed” list myself. That being said, Michelle Obama consistently wears more butt-ugly outfits than any other famous woman in America. Now, I wouldn’t even bring this up except for […]
