Facebook Faces Media Bias: One Story – MANY Stupid Headlines

Media bias is hydra-headed in its perniciousness. It operates on many levels – in many ways. One of its practitioners’ favorite moves is the terrible headline. In which they knowingly – or unknowingly – tip their hand on the story at hand. These heinous headlines can effectively work to sway casual, drive-by media consumers – who don’t go deep into multiple articles to get a | Read More »

Donald Trump isn’t Rudy Giuliani, He’s Howard Dean

If you scratch any Republican pundit on the face of the earth, a comparison between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 campaign will fall out. If the point is to illustrate that being the frontrunner at this stage of the race won’t necessarily translate to victory, then these pundits are on solid ground. If the point is to draw a meaningful parallel between the current | Read More »

CNN arranges for Barack Obama to say “I participated!” on gun control.

Barack Obama’s ‘town hall’ on gun control will, of course, be useless. But he’ll feel all relevant and such, so that’s the important thing, right?

President Trump Would Be Different Than Candidate Trump

I watch Donald Trump attack those that go after him or candidates that get close to him in the polls and I wonder about the language he uses. How he calls them terrible, losers and worse. Consider how he called Ben Carson, a renown pediatric neurosurgeon, a mediocre doctor. Or his statements about Carly Fiorina’s appearance. Not to mention his more than inappropriate comments about Megyn Kelly that gat him uninvited from the RedState Gathering. And why does he speak to voters at a fourth grade level? After all, Trump has an Ivy League education and is a very successful world class businessman.

In Praise of Twitter’s New “Hate Speech” Policy

While I am aware of the well-justified concerns of many conservative activists about the potential abuses of Twitter’s new “Hate Speech” policy, I applaud Twitter for finally doing something about a problem that was making Twitter unenjoyable and borderline unusable: perpetually abusive anonymous (often racist) trolls. Twitter has been in search of answers about its lack of growth (especially relative to other social media sites | Read More »

Trump is so scared of losing Iowa to Cruz, he’s wetting his pants

Donald Trump was on Face the Nation, and had an epic tantrum. Right now he’s so scared of losing to Ted Cruz, he’s having to lash out in ridiculous ways. It’s interesting seeing what Trump looks like when he’s behind, he knows he’s behind, and he’s wetting-his-pants scared of being the big, fat loser.

Obama is Trying to Make the 2016 Election about Guns

These days I think most Obama actions can be explained by a desire to ward off the ennui that so clearly torments him during the course of being the most powerful man in the world. The President is visibly bored by the Constitutional process, the fight against ISIS, and the need to actually convince anyone to adopt his point of view in order to get | Read More »

White, middle class Americans are dying at a much faster rate than any other group, and Fareed Zakaria knows exactly why: The welfare state is not large enough and we ...

Planned Parenthood Got a Raise … At Your Expense

Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest abortion provider – just got a substantial raise in taxpayer funding, yet is “serving” fewer and fewer women.

The abortion giant builds its reputation on the supposed “care” it provides women, but pads its bank accounts from abortion.

Super PAC Backing Marco Rubio Releases Ads Slamming Chris Christie (VIDEO)

Chris Christie, like John Kasich, has been spending a good deal of time running for President on his executive record and pooh-poohing the idea of another first term Senator becoming President. Those jabs are aimed largely at Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. While the attacks have been broad on the “first term Senator” side (he says it without naming names), Christie has taken specific | Read More »

If #BlueLivesMatter, a line must be drawn in Oregon

A group of armed thugs has decided to #Occupy Oregon, and take over a wildlife refuge building. Led by known wacko Ammon Bundy, even conservative champion Ted Cruz thinks they need to stand down. If Blue Lives Matter, as a number of right-wing activists have frequently stated, Ted Cruz is right, and Bundy must surrender immediately.

Record Turn-out Predicted For GOP Iowa Caucuses

The Iowa Caucuses are exactly four weeks from today and many GOP strategists are predicting a turnout 10-15 percent higher than the record setting 121,000 votes cast in 2012. There are several major reasons that this might come to pass. Some of these are candidate driven and some are caused by other factors. Iowa should be an solid bellwether for the 2016 election. We’ll get a chance to measure the intensity of interest in the candidates and their ability to get out the vote in a highly competitive and unusually important caucus.

Milwaukee TV Stations Refuse to Air Pro-Life Ad

A pair of Milwaukee television stations have told two Wisconsin pro-life organizations they can’t buy airtime during select news programming because the advertisement they want to air is not approved by station management. Fox6 and WISN have both declined to air an advertisement sponsored by Wisconsin Family Action and Pro-Life Wisconsin even though the ad is very similar to other political and issue ads run | Read More »

150 Muslim Cargill Employees Fired Due To Not Showing Up, Not Because Of Prayer

A story such as this one surfaces from time to time and it’s one the left will latch onto as strong as possible making the case it is about religious discrimination and not anything else – just so long as the religion involved is Islam. That’s the story with 150 Muslim employees at a Cargill meat processing plant in Colorado. The clown show known as | Read More »

Marco Rubio Is More Right Than Donald Trump On Obama’s Foreign Policy

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have offered differing analyses of Obama’s foreign policy failures. Where Trump attributes it to incompetence, Rubio, rightly, credits it to malicious design.

The Iowa Corn Lobby is Following Ted Cruz Around Like a Bunch of Spoiled Children

Conventional wisdom says that you cannot win Iowa without kissing the pinky ring of the Iowa corn lobby and pledging your fealty to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the anti-science policy which is bad for the environment, fuel mileage, and America at large. Iowa’s traditional role as the first Presidential contest for both parties basically ensures that anyone with even a whiff of Presidential ambition | Read More »

The New York Times FINALLY catches up to RedState on the Obamacare tax!

The New York Times figures out that people won’t pay the Obamacare tax if it’s cheaper than paying for insurance that they don’t want. Took ’em long enough.

Water Cooler 01/04/16 Open Thread: The Enemy of My Enemy is… Still My Enemy

  Sunnis, Shiites, Iranians, and Saudis… So the saying is that an enemy of my enemy is my friend. But I have a feeling that in this fight there may not be too many friendly faces.  To re-cap the blow by blow Saudi Arabia (Sunnis) executed a cleric they deemed to be a “terrorist”.  This terrorist is was a Shiite.  Iran is a predominantly Shiite nation and was not too | Read More »

Donald Trump Claims that He Invented the Idea of a Border Fence

This weekend, Donald Trump told a whopper that made Al Gore’s exaggeration of his role in “creating the Internet” seem trivial by comparison. He claimed, somewhat absurdly, that the entire idea of building a fence along the United States border was his, and that Ted Cruz was copying him. In his typical Trumpian fashion, he relayed this claim in the context of a conversation he | Read More »

Representative (and seditionist) Jim McDermott (D, Washington-07) to cut and run?

Jim McDermott is likely retiring. Frankly, he should have been tried for sedition, but I don’t run the country. And thank God for that, hey?

Has Armstrong Williams Been Running Ben Carson’s Campaign?

Like many conservatives in America, I used to enjoy Armstrong Williams’ talk show. But then, like most conservatives who used to feel that way, I learned that Armstrong Williams was taking literal propaganda money from the U.S. Government to promote No Child Left Behind, which was widely unpopular with conservatives. After that, it became a little difficult for any person of even modest discernment to take | Read More »

(VIDEO) Hillary Clinton Gets Heckled By A Rape Survivor.

Yesterday Hillary Clinton was on the road in Derry, New Hampshire. During the brief period of time the geriatric contender for the Democrat nomination was awake she attended a town hall event to allow her get within shouting distance of actual humans. As we all know, Hillary’s town halls are tightly scripted affairs with carefully vetted and fawning questions lobbed underhand by carefully vetted audience | Read More »

#Yallqaeda: The New Leftist Obsession With Shooting People

#YallQaeda is the clever hashtag the left were using Sunday night (in addition to #oregonunderattack) to throw fits of pique and demand summary executions of the armed militia members in Oregon occupying a federal government shack in the woods over the weekend. You know, because the left takes it so seriously. If you’re not up to speed, here is a summary. On Saturday, there was | Read More »
