Reject the Occupy Wall Street Haters!
4 Nov 2011 1:03 pm Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston
As each day passes we see more of the violence, theft, property destruction and anti-Semitism of these Occupy-Whatevers. We are learning that these Occupy events are run by ACORN, big labor and various anti-American groups such as communists, socialists, and what have you.
Worse there are instances of rape going on at these events and the Occupiers refuse to help the victims find justice by involving the police.
So, why are Democrats and the Old Media still falling all over themselves in love with these haters at the Occupy …

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations
3 Nov 2011 1:18 pm Warner Todd Huston

One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste. But there is a bill in the House called the REINS Act that could help tamp down this avalanche, save us all money, help bring back the creation of jobs that aren’t being created now.

The full name of the act is the Regulations from the Executive in Need of …

Alter: Obama is ‘Honest’ and ‘Free of Scandal’
31 Oct 2011 10:31 pm Warner Todd Huston

When does a columnist write something so utterly absurd that his credibility is forever damaged? I am not sure how to answer that in general terms, but I think at least one journalist answered the question for his own, now thoroughly destroyed veracity. Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg has written one of the most ridiculous, least reality-based assessments yet of the short White House tenure of Barack Obama.
Alter put on his strongest rose-colored glasses and penned an uproarious piece headlined, “

Ill. Policy Institute CEO John Tillman Rebuts Critiques of His Op Ed
29 Oct 2011 5:10 pm Warner Todd Huston

Last week I wrote a piece expressing my dismay at an op ed written by John Tillman, CEO of the excellent Illinois Policy Institute. In his piece he claimed there was common ground between the “Occupy” folks and the Tea Party. I wholly disagreed with that. Mr. Tillman has written a follow up that he wanted to make sure readers saw.
To frame the discussion, here is Mr. Tillman’s original op ed in the Chicago Tribune and here is my friday critique of that op ed. — Warner Todd Huston

Ill. Policy Institute CEO Tillman Is Just Plain Wrong About ‘Occupy’
28 Oct 2011 12:13 pm Warner Todd Huston

John Tillman, CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute, penned an op ed in the Chicago Tribune touting what he claims is the common ground between conservatives and the Occupy Wall Street leftists who have trickled into the streets across the country. I hate to say it, but his op ed was puzzling and its base concept — that conservatives and these Occupy nuts should work together — is incredibly off base.
Before I get into Tillman’s points, though, let me say that I generally support the good works of the Illinois …

Obama-Emperor Less Than Zero’s Open Deceit
25 Oct 2011 5:05 pm Michael Fell

The current White House occupant is spending taxpayer money (again) flying around the country going to fundraisers (again) extrapolating on his 2012 re-election strategy to blame Republicans for the failure of policies implemented by himself, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi (again). Now he’s going around a “do nothing Congress” (see the U.S. Senate, controlled by “progressive” Democrats) via Executive Order (again).
Never mind that when emperor less than zero was a State and/or U.S. Senator, ruling by decree was a gianormous NO NO. Now that he (a self imagined and self appointed member …

VIDEO: Suspected Terror Supporter Attacks Jews at Occupy Chicago
22 Oct 2011 11:40 am Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s RebelPundit came across some of those nice Occupy Chicago folks wishing good thoughts for all the kind participants at the protest… they kindly wished that Israel be destroyed.
Worse, one of the guys these Occupy-Whatevers allowed to speak is a suspected funder of Middle Eastern terrorists.

Just like the left, eh? Haters, racists, and anti-Semites galore.
Note also that a Chicago TV station was filming the event. Note also that said film was never aired in Chicago.
The “news,” you see, don’t want to discredit the Occupy-Whatevers as much as they can avoid …

Did a Big Dem Donor Turned Obama Medical Records Czar Hoodwink Members of Congress?
17 Oct 2011 12:21 pm Warner Todd Huston

Did Obama’s medical record czar, Judy Faulkner, hoodwink five members of Congress into pushing her own medical records company as the solution for the problem of electronic medical records for all government contracts? That’s what some wonder as Obama’s search for an electronic medical records solution evolves.
In a likely earnest effort to bring jobs to Wisconsin and help improve the fortunes of a home state company, five members of Congress signed onto a letter urging the Department of Defense to seriously consider EPIC Systems medical records computer architecture. (Download PDF …

Obama’s Senate Dems Prove They are NOT Interested in Working With Republicans
6 Oct 2011 9:35 pm Warner Todd Huston

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, has just proven that while Obama runs around the country on campaign appearances claiming that he wants to work with Republicans to “pass this bill,” his party has no interest whatsoever in actually doing so. Reid is trying to pass new rules to prevent Republicans form being able to have their say on what is going on in the Senate right now.
Reid has deployed the rarely used “nuclear option” to prevent Republicans from being able to employ a move called a …

MSNBC Guest: Solyndra is Bush’s Fault! (Despite Truth)
29 Sep 2011 12:52 pm Warner Todd Huston

In a recurrence of its bout with Bush Derangement Syndrome, MSNBC recently relied on a left-wing, green activist to assert that the whole Solyndra scandal was really started by George W. Bush. Yep, it’s Boosh’s fault once again. Of course, the facts speak otherwise, but let’s not let truth get in the way of a good left-wing trope, shall we?
On the Friday September 23 episode of MSNBC Live, host Thomas Roberts was discussing the wasted loan of half a billion in tax dollars to the later bankrupt green company Solyndra …

Obama’s Mounting Scandals
23 Sep 2011 12:12 pm Warner Todd Huston

The Heritage Foundation has a post giving a run down of some of the scandals mounting in the Obama administration… you know, the most ethical administration ever? Yeah. That one.
Most of them have to do with Obama’s penchant for crony capitalism. Like the good socialist he is, Obama wants to pick the winners and losers in the world of business so he shovels mounds of the taxpayer’s cash to the companies of pals and donors so that they will… well, apparently so that they will give him money back in …

LightSquared: Poster Child for Crony Capitalism
22 Sep 2011 5:20 pm Rachel Alexander

Two high-level government officials have revealed they were pressured by the Obama administration to change their testimony to Congress in order to favor a wireless company linked to a high-level Democratic Party donor, and to sound supportive of Obama’s stated goal of bringing high-speed wireless to at least 98 percent of Americans within five years. General William Shelton, a four-star General and Commander of the Air Force Space Command Center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, disclosed that he was pressured to add two items to his testimony; that he supported the …

President Obama’s NLRB & Their Summer Assault On American Jobs
22 Sep 2011 12:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

Obama pretends that he wants to cut regulations and make it easier for businesses to make jobs. Unfortunately, what he says and what he does with his powers to regulate are two very, very different things.

From the Workforce Fairness Institute:

The Workforce Fairness Institute today unveiled a new web video spotlighting President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board and their summer assault on American jobs. Highlighting his recent speech before a joint session of Congress, President Obama said “in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus, …

Chicago: Union Members Collect Millions in Tax $$ With Sweetheart Pension Deal
22 Sep 2011 12:13 pm Warner Todd Huston

Now this is the sort of corruption we are used to seeing in Illinois, eh? This week the Chicago Tribune and WGN TV has found up to 23 retired union operatives that are collecting millions in taxpayer dollars because they had pals in government tweak the state’s pensions laws to favor them.
These former government workers that were government union members got pliant politicians to alter the pensions laws to say that their pension remuneration would be calculated not on the lower pay they received when they retired from government, but …

Obama Donor, Now Medical Records Czar Gets Little Gov’t Job BIG Gov’t Contracts
21 Sep 2011 12:04 pm Warner Todd Huston

Must be nice to be a member of the “in” crowd, the crowd of crony capitalists to whom President Obama has given so much of the taxpayer’s money. And not just money but positions of power in the government.
Take, for instance, Obama’s newest czar, Judith Faulkner, recently named Obama medical records czar. She was not only put in charge of deciding which company would be used for Obama’s official electronic medical records system, but she also just happens to have an electronic medical records company of her own. And, …

Intimidation: Obama’s Dept. of Labor To Supply Replacement Workers’ Names AND Addresses to Union Thugs
20 Sep 2011 6:23 pm Warner Todd Huston

“Since 1975,” a study of union violence says, there has been “more than 9,000 reports of union violence.” With that in mind, wouldn’t it scare you if you were told that your name and address would be made public knowledge if you were hired as a temporary or replacement worker during a union strike? If you had any sense you sure would.
Well, now that is exactly what the Obama administration wants to do. Obama’s Department of Labor wants to make a new rule that businesses must disclose the names …

Obama Spends $4,853,000 per Green Energy Job
16 Sep 2011 2:25 pm Dave Blount

As anyone whose eyes weren’t clouded by moonbattery could easily have seen in advance, the Obama Regime’s push to spend “green jobs” into existence has been a colossal failure:
A $38.6 billion loan guarantee program that the Obama administration promised would create or save 65,000 jobs has created just a few thousand jobs two years after it began, government records show.
The program — designed to jump-start the nation’s clean technology industry by giving energy companies access to low-cost, government-backed loans — has directly created 3,545 new, permanent jobs after giving out …

EPA to Give Itself Powers to Preemptively Deny Natural Resource Development?
16 Sep 2011 12:20 pm Warner Todd Huston

Once again an Obama regulatory agency tries to give itself wild new powers, powers that would crush American energy and natural resource development, powers meant to quash the business sector.
A press release from Resourceful Earth News imparts a warning about the Environmental Protection Agency’s newest powergrab. A lfet-wing Democrat Senator is asking the EPA to accept the idea of taking upon itself the power to deny mining or development of other natural resources before any scientific studies or any permitting procedures even begin. This Senator wants the EPA to just …

Solyndra: Green Jobbery, Green Robbery
14 Sep 2011 1:06 pm Warner Todd Huston

We have come to learn something about our president. He really loves green. But what we can’t quite decipher is if that green is green jobs and energies or just the good old fashioned green of tax money. Whatever the case, it sure is true that the green of U.S. tax dollars is far more prevalent with “O” than those mythical green jobs he’s trying to fund with it and this mess with failed green company Solyndra is revealing quite a lot.
Now, firstly lets dispense with the left’s weak defense …

Why, Yes, The White House Did Push Hard For The Solyndra Loan
14 Sep 2011 8:33 am William Teach

Some are wondering whether the Solyndra scandal will bring the White House down. I have to say, unless some emails are found that specifically show that Obama knew that there was no possible way that Solyndra would ever be able to compete, and still pushed the loan, the best that will happen will be a scandal which the media is reluctantly dragged along in covering, and, if the GOP is smart, will show up in campaign commercials and talking points
The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a …
