Anti-Walker Thug Loses First Amendent Case
When unions can’t get what they want through the democratic process, they turn to thug tactics like unlawful harassment: Between 5:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. each day, someone in a black Honda would drive past Walker’s house in Wauwatosa, blow his horn like crazy, give the finger through his sunroof and shout, “Recall Walker.” Week [...]
Obama Backed Major Loan to Solyndra Despite Warning from External Auditor
12. September 2011
You can catch up on the story here, here, here, and here if you’re unfamiliar. Basically the Obama Administration gave a half-billion dollar, taxpayer-backed loan to a politically-connected solar company that should never have received the loan in the first place and has now gone under. Taxpayers are out the money while an Obama-supporting billionaire [...]
Obese Man Sues White Castle Because Tables are Too Small
12. September 2011
Only in America. He’s 290 pounds and suing under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which apparently (he claims) mandates that fast food restaurants build tables jumbo size so as to accommodate obese people. Call me crazy, but I have my doubts that that was the intention of the law. Apparently Martin Kessman went to a [...]
Bachmann Called Social Security “A Tremendous Fraud”
12. September 2011
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) reportedly intends to slam Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) over his assertion that Social Security has become a “Ponzi scheme”. If she does, it will be tremendously hypocritical. See, last year Bachmann went on Fox Business and referred to Social Security as a “tremendous fraud”. She went on to say that [...]
First U.S. Troops on the Ground in Libya
12. September 2011
Question: Is this still not a war-war for which Congressional authorization is required? Blowing up military targets overseas? Check. Deployment of forces and resources? Check. Boots on the ground? Check. If this isn’t war-war, what is? Do nuclear weapons have to get involved before Obama concedes he needs approval from Congress? Granted, the first deployment [...]
Obama Proposes Tax Hike Even Democrats Rejected in 2009
12. September 2011
So we finally know how Barack Obama wants Stimulus 2.0 funded: With a tax hike on investors and small business. A tax hike, by the way, that even Democrats rejected when he proposed it originally in 2009. That’s right. Obama wants a tax hike so massive and radical that even Democrats rejected it both in [...]
Jackie Kennedy: MLK a “Phony”, “Tricky”
12. September 2011
It’s a lefty idol face-off. With whom do liberals side? The queen of Camelot? Or the civil rights leader? She called him “tricky” and a “phony” after hearing about FBI tapes of him and a woman in his hotel room, while noting that JFK had urged her not to be judgmental. (JFK’s own adulterous affairs [...]
Perry Leads Romney by 12 Points, Bachmann Falls Behind Cain and Gingrich
12. September 2011
According to a CNN/ORC International Poll, Rick Perry continues to lead Mitt Romney by double-digits in the race for the Republican nomination. Perry takes 30% support to Romney’s 18% backing. Romney’s entitlements demagoguery doesn’t appear to have taken much of a toll on Perry. A late August survey found Perry/Romney at 30% and 17% respectively. [...]
Pawlenty Endorses Romney, Attacks Perry
12. September 2011
Former Minnesota governor and failed presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty endorsed Mitt RomneyCare on Fox & Friends this morning. Pawlenty says he’ll serve as campaign co-chair but isn’t interested in being running mate. Yeah huh. I’m sure. But isn’t Pawlenty’s endorsement that was disgraceful. It was his attack on Rick Perry for wanting to reform Social [...]
Media Story Retraction of the Day
12. September 2011
The only surprising element is that the Associated Press owned up to the fraud. BASTROP, Texas — The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about Texas residents questioning why Gov. Rick Perry has not spent more time in areas affected by wildfires. The single person who asked about Perry’s involvement was not an area resident. [...]
