This video from Fox shows how the Republicans have been warning about this problem for years while the Democrats have been blocking them. It is must see TV, my friend, and you DEFINITELY will want to watch it. The Barney Frank quote is absolutely priceless. Hat tip to Ace of Spades HQ for the video. […]

We have a little back-and-forth going on in the breaking news department. First we get this: Key lawmakers have reported an agreement in principle on a bailout of the financial industry designed to avert a deeper economic crisis. Emerging from a two-hour negotiating session, Sen. Chris Dodd said, “We are very confident that we can […]

When I wrote this post initially, it was based on two premises that may not turn out to be correct: that the bailout plan is going to pass and that John McCain would support it. Despite the headlines that are out there, it’s not a sure thing on either count yet. So, with that in […]

Ecuador is on the verge of granting human rights to nature. People will be asked to vote on Sunday on a new constitution that would give Ecuador’s tropical forests, islands, rivers and air similar legal rights to those normally granted to humans. If they vote yes — and polls show that 56% are for and […]

That Joe Biden bungles even simple sentences surprises no one, no one, it seems, except Barack Obama. Let me get this straight: Since Barack Obama has no experience, we are supposed to vote for him for his temperament and judgment, right? Well, on the temperament front he seems either unwilling or unable to make a […]

John: Yesterday and the day before, I agreed with you 100 percent–that there was no way a fiscal conservative could ever support the plan as it has been laid out. That is, until I read this article in the Wall Street Journal: My analysis suggests that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (a former investment banker, no […]

Apparently the Obamessiah and Shrillary aren’t the only ones to have been heavily influenced by the socialist radical Saul Alinsky. Al Gore, possibly driven to desperation by cooling temperatures, is calling for Alinskyesque tactics to be used against those who inflict electric power on our homes. Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore […]

On the Left, there is no such thing as a “fringe” anymore. I don’t care what sort of wacko left-wing idea you can come up with, there’s a Democrat in power somewhere advocating it. Heck, even their presidential candidate has pal’d around with terrorists like Bill Ayers and virulently anti-white, anti-American scumbags like Jeremiah Wright. […]

John McCain canceled the Friday night debate to head back to D.C. and work on the bailout. He then invited Obama to join him. The idea behind that was probably something along the lines of: #1) It would make McCain look like a leader who puts country first over politics. #2) Obama was put in […]

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

So, does anybody think this is a healthy development or is good for the country? Nearly three quarters of the 727,070 El Pasoans last year said buenas noches when they went to sleep and buenos días when they woke up, according to new information released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The census’ American Community […]

Normally, I cover the Enquirer beat, but thanks to the sleazebags at Gawker, I don’t even have to buy a copy of the rag to cover their “big” Sarah Palin story. Here’s the short version, Based primarily on the word of an ex-con, the Enquirer is claiming Sarah Palin had an unconsummated (unconsummated?) affair more […]

They were for it, before they were against it, before they were for it again — aww, who can keep up? This would be an outstanding ad to run in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Indiana.

If the GOP supports this ridiculous bailout plan, so be it, but understand two things: Number One, I don’t give a d*mn how many 10 million dollar earmarks you oppose, there is no such thing as a fiscal conservative who supports throwing 700 billion dollars of taxpayer money down a rathole in a socialistic government […]

Yesterday, on the Blog Talk Radio show with John Hawkins, he asked me whether the press should just give up the pretense and be open about their bias. My response was that intelligent people could perceive a bias already, but that yes, the press should just be open about their bias and be done with […]

He’s asked Obama for a delay in the Friday debate (I would guess Obama will agree since the subject isn’t his forte. Additionally refusing the request wouldn’t do any good and McCain would make political hay with it) and is suspending his campaign tomorrow and returning to Washington. He’s calling on Obama to join him […]

It turns out the lineage of the official Obamunist salute goes back further than the astro-hippies on Star Trek. Here’s the Obamaniac “Sign of Progress”: …and here’s a photo from the history books… The German Propaganda Archive provides this caption: The hands of the Führer organize his speech. This picture captures Hitler’s hands as he […]

One of the reasons most people are so skeptical of polls is that the media tends to promote polls that seem to show shocking results. If you have ten polls that show a two point race and the eleventh poll shows one of the candidates up by fifteen points, guess what ends up on the […]

As if the Vero Possumus Pre-presidential Seal weren’t presumptuous and preposterous enough, the Obamessiah’s acolytes have struck a Barack Obama coin. Fittingly, the coins are produced in a foreign country: A company in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama. […] Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more […]

As RWN’s regular readers already know, RWN, in concert with the David All Group, has run four different week long contests to hand out $50 to the best anti-socialized medicine posts in the blogosphere. Here are the results from the fourth and for the moment, final week of the contest. The winner is Single-Payer Health […]

It’s 700 Billion. Today. Assuming…do I need to finish that sentence? It’s getting porkified. It rewards stupidity. It ties Republicans to Bush-Pelosi. It turns American banking into a socialist enterprise. It means trusting Paulson. It has Democrats licking their FDR-loving, bacon dripping chops. It will, somehow, make those who get paid for failure, even richer. […]

Make sure to catch this week’s edition of Right Wing News radio. Last night’s show featured Lorie Byrd from Wizbang!, my co-blogger Dr. Melissa Clouthier, and Michael Illions from Polipundit and GOPUSA Northeast. We talked politics, race, immigration, finance, and it was a fast moving show!

“We all understand that partisan attacks are part of the political process in this country. The debate that stems from these grand and sometimes unruly conversations is what makes this country so exceptional. Indeed, our nation has a long and proud tradition of news organizations that are ideological and partisan in nature, the Huffington Post […]

You have absolutely just got to read this story about a reporter who tracked down Barack Obama’s brother. (One caveat: I had not heard of the Thailand website this story is posted on before, although I did look it up and it’s very widely read. So, while the story does seem credible, take it with […]

…Ok, not really. But, after the most gaffe-filled 48 hours I’ve ever seen from a major political candidate, on either side of the aisle, Barack got roped into saying this after being asked about Hillary, “Joe Biden is also an outstanding public servant, and I am very proud of the choice that I made.” Know […]

Politics Democrats to Let Offshore Drilling Ban Expire: “If true, this capitulation by Democrats following months of Republican pressure is a big victory for Americans struggling with record gasoline prices.” — House GOP leader John Boehner Obama Ad Distorts McCain’s Record on Stem Cells: No surprise on this one. Read this one carefully; you won’t […]

A few days ago, it seemed like the only thing you were hearing about the bailout was “We’ve got to do it right now, this instant, or it’ll lead to all out higglety-pigglety! We’ll have cats living in sin with dogs, the Amish flying rocket ships, Michael Jackson becoming attracted to women! It’ll be financial […]
