Is it a miracle or does cool shit just sometimes happen? This child should be dead, but he isn’t: Lazar Ognjenovic, 2, had been submerged in Lake Michigan after a gust of wind blew the stroller he was sitting in into the lake on April 18 at Belmont Harbor. Ognjenovic’s grandfather tried to find him, […]

Rachel Lucas notes the latest housing crisis sob story and taps into my own frustration: I have yet to come across a single foreclosure story that inspired anything but scorn in my heart, and I’m a pretty empathetic person. It’s just that every single time, it turns out these people have screwed themselves by making […]

From now through the election, I’m going to be taking an opportunity every week to try to give a boost to some of the Republican candidates who deserve it the most. That’ll be through interviews and through fundraising via Slatecard. Today, I’d like to take a moment to give you a very brief rundown on […]

Although it would be a disaster for the country if Barack Obama got into the White House, at least we’d be able to recycle all the old liberal memes that were used against George Bush. For example, Barack Obama has not only never served in the military, he probably can’t even find the countries we’re […]

A little while back, I had the privilege of interviewing Ross Douthat about the book he co-authored with Reihan Salam, Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream. Now, I don’t agree with everything that Ross Douthat advocates in the book, but I do think it’s important to […]

Today, RWN brings you a creepy story out of Denver right out of the “thank God he never got that far” files, Police confirmed Wednesday that they found about a pound of sodium cyanide in a Denver hotel room where the body of a Canadian man was discovered earlier this week. Police spokesman John White […]

It has been hard to escape the fact that the Left has completely given up on the idea of a color blind America. The Democratic Party openly advocates discriminating against white Americans via Affirmative Action and black Democrats were voting for Barack Obama at a 90% clip by the end of the Democratic primaries based […]

Since history always repeats itself, there have been a lot of people trying to figure out which election we’re repeating this time around. Is it Lincoln vs. McClellan? Wilkie vs. FDR? Bush vs. Dukakis? I’d say it’s Reagan vs. Carter. Now, that’s not to say Obama is another Reagan. To the contrary, Reagan was de […]

My latest column at Pajama’s Media is called Russia As Abusive Ex, Georgia As Battered Wife. Here’s an excerpt from the column, The trend of blaming the victim was there before Russia invaded Georgia; this current conflict was just the latest and most obvious example. Yes, it may seem absurd, but in the case of […]

Blogs have been a major thorn in the side of the left-wing mainstream media, exposing its lies, shining light on stories it wants to bury, and offering alternative points of view that undermine establishment propaganda. This may be one reason the MSM has labored so mightily to install Barack Obama in the White House. FCC […]

Have the people who did propaganda for the Nazis been hiding out in South America, waiting for the emergence of another race-based, socialist, totalitarian ideology of their liking? If so, it looks like they’re back. Nazi and Obama propaganda not only appeals to the same unreasoning herd instincts, the artwork looks like it was drawn […]

You may have noticed recently, that oil prices have gone down. As you might imagine, there’s no magic involved, no conspiracies and nothing particularly profound which has caused this to happen. In fact, it is a result of more supply than demand at this moment because use, on a world-wide basis, has temporarily fallen. Global […]

A relative enrolled their child in a drowning prevention class. She is five months old and can float now and save herself. Go watch this video–as a parent, it is absolutely frightening to watch. I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, of course children should be taught to swim as young as possible. It’s […]

Sure it’s safe to put a novice like Barack Obama in the White House; after all, Al-Qaeda isn’t a serious threat anymore, right? Alleged Mata Hari of Al Qaeda Could Provide ‘Treasure Trove’ of Intelligence …When she was arrested in Afghanistan last month, Aafia Siddique allegedly had in her possession maps of New York, a […]

Liberals, being liberals, make certain assumptions when it comes to foreign affairs. Among them are, #1) Whatever happens in the world, if it’s bad, must somehow be the fault of the Bush Administration and/or America. #2) Any country that is allied with America, by virtue of being allied with America, must be in the wrong […]

There certainly will be some racist Democrats and Independents who won’t vote for Obama because of his race. That’s an undeniable reality. There were also Christians who wouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon, men who wouldn’t vote for Hillary because she’s a woman, blacks who wouldn’t vote for Hillary because she […]

“In my opinion, the choice could not be more clear: between one candidate, John McCain, who’s had experience, been tested in war and tried in peace, another candidate who has not. Between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who […]

Today, Barack Obama received the enthusiastic endorsement of the Communist Party USA. Here is their hope: If Obama’s candidacy represented nothing more than the spark for this profound initiative to unite the working class and defeat the pernicious influence of racism, it would be a transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long […]

I’ve always had my doubts about John McCain as our presidential nominee, but I can’t help but very much admire his wife, who seems to be as humble, generous, and gracious as she is beautiful. And until this morning, when I heard her speak at a fundraiser for her husband, I have had little desire […]

The creator of the “Flying O-Hole” that MichaelW reported on a few days ago is a bit stunned by the negative feedback he’s seen since his idea first surfaced: Among the hundreds of comments posted on the Whispers site were those comparing it to a gang gesture, a Nazi salute, or worse. “This is how […]

We don’t quite have enough government to have reached the socialist ideal, whereby society resembles a well-manicured lawn, with no blade of grass allowed to grow any higher than the others. An example is 8-year-old guitar prodigy Tallan “T-Man” Latz, who seems to have gotten on older players’ nerves by outperforming them. But we do […]

High gas prices are making people more aware of the extravagant costs associated with the global warming hoax. The facts that it hasn’t gotten any warmer for the last 10 years, and that there is no proven connection between human activity and the climate, have begun to seep through cracks in the complicit media. Consequently, […]

New research demonstrates the limitations of making sweeping health generalizations based on body mass: You can look great in a swimsuit and still be a heart attack waiting to happen. And you can also be overweight and otherwise healthy. A new study suggests that a surprising number of overweight people — about half — have […]

First, the lead. George Will writing about Bill Richardson: Clinging to the Obama campaign’s talking points like a drunk to a lamppost, [Former Governor, Ambassador and Presidential Candidate Bill] Richardson said this crisis proves the wisdom of Obama’s zest for diplomacy, and that America should get the U.N. Security Council “to pass a strong resolution […]

Ilkka nails it: I have mentioned a few times that since I already speak English, I really don’t see any value in learning other languages, since the time and effort needed would be much better spent on other things. There is so much opinion, information and knowledge available in English that I can only ever […]
