As many of you know, I’ve been working on landing a permanent gig at 50k watt powerhouse WBT 1110 AM out of Charlotte, NC. This past Sunday was my second and final show for the month of January. In it, I talk EPA, take calls, discuss the establishment, and interview Mark Daniels of Hilex Poly, a company I’ve written about before and America’s largest plastic bag | Read More »
On last night’s show, Co-host Ace of Spades and I caught up with actor & conservative Adam Baldwin, fresh off of his recent successful run on television series Chuck and on his way to collect an unemployment check. Conversation went from Ace’s desire to see an Oscar for “Best Driving Into A Wall” to Adam’s contention that our remaining presidential candidates are not the huge | Read More »
Yesterday I wrote an article on why I view the inevitability of an Obama defeat at the hands of Romney to be less than inevitable. Mostly I attributed this to weakness on a core issue: Obamacare. From my view, Romney cannot adequately take on this topic so long as he insists on defending the principles put forth in Romneycare. His state’s rights position plays ok | Read More »
After many months of getting a pass, it seems that the other candidates are willing to finally start hitting Governor Mitt Romney on his major weakness: The Massachusetts Health Care Insurance Reform Law. The bill, known by most as Romneycare, is (as we all have been saying for many moons) the basis for the much maligned Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise affectionately known | Read More »
If you haven’t been keeping up, I’ve been neck deep in a contest to get my own radio show on one of the largest radio stations in the southeast, WBT out of Charlotte, NC. You can see the stages of the contest here, here, & here. After much spamming of twitter and the gracious web real estate of RedState.com, the first day of my new | Read More »
The lefties on Twitter are very upset with their favorite paper, The New York Times. They’ve even started a hashtag (#NewNYTSlogans) attacking them for the apparent lack of dedication to truth that the paper has exhibited of late in its pages. An article titled, “Should The Times Be a Truth Vigilante?” is what has sent them into full fledged mock mode and, as best I | Read More »
On last night’s show, Co-host Ace of Spades and I celebrated the inevitability of our presidential candidate. We have been informed that this candidate will be former Governor Mitt Romney. We are also told that we should be excited about this. We are not. On a brighter note, we also discussed Conan the Barbarian vs Conan the Destroyer, who was really the hero in Wall | Read More »
On last night’s show, Caleb Howe joins me along with co-host Ace of Spades as we discuss the Iowa primaries as they happened. Here are your teasers: Will Caleb endorse Barack Obama? Will Ben pull his microphone off and leave the show mid-conversation? Will Ace decide to go 3rd party? Will the cat knock over my coffee and spill it on my computer ending the show early? | Read More »
In November I reported on American company Hawker Beechcraft being inexplicably disqualified from bidding on a weapons contract that appears ready to go to a Brazilian company named Embraer, which has questionable ties to America’s enemies. Embraer, a Brazilian aerospace giant which is currently under investigation for potentially making illegal payments to obtain government contracts, is essentially owned by the Brazilian government. Through their “Golden Share,” Brazil | Read More »
Tonight, Ace of Spades co-hosts as we bring Transom superstar Ben Domenech on to discuss the blogger journalist love emanating from Jen Rubin at The Washinton Post. We also spend some time talking about just how many faults can be looked past when considering Mitt Romney as the nominee. Also, Ace asks the ultimate question: How does candidate Romney effectively attack Obamacare while sparing himself | Read More »
Tonight, my on-again-off-again Co-Host, Ace of Spades, work through the issues of the Republican party nominees. Namely, that they all suck and the ones who are good suck at letting people know. Also in the week’s episode: What is truth? Is war sometimes the answer. Or is it always the answer? Has the Tea Party lost it’s steam? Or have we all gone back to | Read More »
A little over a month ago, I had the opportunity to put together a video honoring Veterans Day to be shown at BlogCon 2011 in Denver, Colorado. In conjunction with FreedomWorks, I was able to get a handful of questions about Veterans Day over to a handful of politicians to have them say thank you to our troops. Because of technical difficulties, it wasn’t actually | Read More »
So what exactly is Barack Obama’s plan? Wasn’t he the great problem solver? The great unifier? Wasn’t this the moment that the oceans started to recede? The winds started to change? Wasn’t he going to usher in a new era and fundamentally transform the United States of America? Turns out Barack Obama’s grand ideas and plans were little more than brainstorms. An excellent new video | Read More »
As Obama moves closer to his perception of the center, he moves further from the environmental base that had placed their hopes and dreams in him. Over the summer, he ended up in a heated battle with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Lisa Jackson over a proposed Ozone rule that he was set to weaken against her wishes. According to the New York Times, it | Read More »
[promoted because Ben is too modest for his own good] So its come down to this moment. RedState readers and my friends on Twitter have helped me make it through round 1 & 2 of the Next Talker contest to win my own radio show on the 50,000 watt radio juggernaut that is WBT which on clear nights can be heard in 22 states. I | Read More »
The chorus of CEOs and business leaders saying that regulation is choking business and growth had a new addition yesterday: CEO Clarence Otis, Jr. of Darden Restaurants, Orlando, Florida’s only Fortune 500 company and the parent company of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse. This is interesting to me for a handful of reasons. The first is that a quick look at campaign donations from | Read More »
Obama’s tactics are becoming obvious. Whether it’s destroying coal to prop up green, endlessly extending unemployment benefits to keep the public desperate so as to allow him to push through more entitlements, how he intends to bring his “fundamental changes“ to the United States are about as veiled as laminate. He is a radical trying to institute change by manipulating the facts on the ground in | Read More »
I’ve said before that when the Democrats propose a tax credit it’s called a “business incentive” and when a Republican proposes a tax credit it’s called a “loophole.” This game of semantics only works because of a complicit media which is more than willing to apply the Democrat designated classifications to ensure the correct narrative. In reality, all sides are using fancy words to avoid | Read More »
Several weeks ago, I told you the story of John Monteith, a Charlotte, NC business executive that had been told his company could not bid on work related to the Democratic National Convention because the printing firm he worked for was not unionized. The person that John spoke to is an executive on the Charlotte in 2012 Host Committee who are central to the planning of the | Read More »
Just as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has used the Clean Air Act to broaden the scope of their authority way beyond its original intention with rules like MACT and CSAPR, the Clean Water Act is becoming a tool of overreach by the out of control agency. Barack Obama and the EPA’s Lisa Jackson have made it clear through their actions that they will circumvent | Read More »
