Piers Morgan: This IRS Thing is ‘Vaguely Tyrannical Behavior by the Government’
20 May 2013 5:42 pm Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s chief anti-gun zealot Piers Morgan may have been loathe to admit it, but this IRS scandal seems to validate some of his detractor’s distrust of government.
During his evening show on May 16, Morgan’s guest was magician Penn Jillette and the discussion turned to the admission by the Internal Revenue Service that it had misused its offices to intimidate President Obama’s opponents. Morgan seemed to ruefully come to understand that this abuse of power lends credence to those that say the government cannot be trusted.

“I’ve had some of the gun, …

The Tragedy Of The Moral Commons: Why America’s Collapsing Morally
15 May 2013 12:01 am John Hawkins

Ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? It’s a classic economics argument that goes like so:
The tragedy of the commons develops in this way. Picture a pasture open to all. It is to be expected that each herdsman will try to keep as many cattle as possible on the commons. Such an arrangement may work reasonably satisfactorily for centuries because tribal wars, poaching, and disease keep the numbers of both man and beast well below the carrying capacity of the land. Finally, however, comes the day of reckoning, that …

Gov’t Obtains Phone Records of 100 Associated Press Reporters
14 May 2013 2:24 pm Warner Todd Huston

In the newest overreach perpetrated by the Obama administration, the Associated Press has discovered that some 100 of its Washington-based reporters have had their phone records–both personal and business–secretly obtained by Eric Holder’s Justice Department.
The AP reports that the phone records were subpoenaed as a result of a DOJ investigation into who inside the government leaked information of a CIA operation that ended up in an AP story from May 7, 2012. But the AP says the requests for phone records went far, far beyond the scope of that …

Sycophancy: MSNBC Host Grovels for Elizabeth Warren’s Autograph… ON the Air!
13 May 2013 5:36 pm Warner Todd Huston

So, much for unbiased, just-the-facts, journalism over at MSNBC. The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell was so star struck when Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren came on his show that he stopped everything in order to get her autograph and did so on the air!
Like a kid meeting his favorite teen rock star, O’Donnell shoved a copy of Warren’s “first bill” across the table slobberingly saying, “if I could just get your autograph on my copy of the first Warren bill… this is very exciting.”
O’Donnell even promised to frame the …

Duck Dynasty Star: “If We Can’t Pray To God On The Show, Then We Will Not Do The Show.”
13 May 2013 6:30 am John Hawkins

There’s not a lot of good things that you can say about most of the reality TV shows that are out there.

A lot of the shows feature human trash that you’re invited to mock and laugh at. In fact, that was probably the vibe the producers of Duck Dynasty were hoping to produce. They were probably hoping that they had a bunch a goofy southern rednecks with beards for the “smart set” in Hollywood and San Francisco to mock.
However, while the show is funny and the ratings have …

Mom of Son Slain At Benghazi: “I want to wish Hillary a Happy Mother’s Day. She has her child. I don’t have mine because of her.”
13 May 2013 12:01 am Warner Todd Huston

Pat Smith’s son, Sean, was murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya (9/11/12) thanks to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s negligence. On Sunday, she has a message for Obama and Hillary.

“I want to wish Hillary a Happy Mother’s Day,” Smith said. “She has her child. I don’t have mine because of her.”
Mrs. Smith appeared on the Mike Huckabee show on Sunday, May 12, to deliver her message.

Huckabee asked Smith if she was comforted at all by the Congressional hearings about the attacks.
“Absolutely not. I am still waiting to answers to …

11 May 2013 4:45 pm Warner Todd Huston

The 3D-printable gun craze is just beginning as the blueprint plans for the new “Liberator” plastic gun were downloaded nearly 100,000 times in just a two-day period this month.

Cody Wilson, founder of the 3D-Printed firearm company Defense Distributed, announced the creation of the first fully printable gun on May 3 and in only a few days hundreds of thousands of downloads of the plans were made from the Defcad.org website.
Despite the large number of downloads, don’t expect the country to suddenly be awash with plastic guns. Few people that downloaded …

New ‘Explosives’ License Impinges on Gun Owners that Load Own Ammo
10 May 2013 4:47 pm Warner Todd Huston

Before the smoke had cleared after the terror attacks during the Boston Marathon last month, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg employed Obama’s favorite axiom of never letting a good crisis go to waste by immediately proposing major changes to federal laws pertaining to loose gun powder and explosives.
Reports quickly emerged after the bombing that the terrorists had used black powder for the explosive component of their pressure cooker bombs and this news prompted Lautenberg to action.
On April 23, Lautenberg introduced S. 792, the Explosive Materials Background Check Act. Originally, the …

Infidelity Advocates Ashley Madison Uses Mark Sanford on Billboard Ad
7 May 2013 8:38 pm Warner Todd Huston

Hook up site AshleyMadison.com is again courting controversy after debuting a new billboard campaign south of Columbia, South Carolina, that uses a photo of ex Governor Mark Sanford to sell its tryst-arranging services.
The ad appears on Interstate 26, 25 miles below South Carolina’s state capital, Columbia, and takes up two, stacked billboards. The top billboard reads “Next time use…” next to a photo of Gov. Sanford. The one below reads “AshleyMadison.com to find your ‘running mate.’” The lower billboard also features the website’s slogan, “Life is short. Have an affair.”

Soft Drink Mountain Dew Pulls Ad Over Charges of Racism
6 May 2013 4:11 pm Warner Todd Huston

PepsiCo, Inc, owners of Mountain Dew soda, has pulled an online video ad after viewers complained of its use of racial stereotypes. The ad also seemed to be making light of violence toward women.
The video ad begins by showing a police lineup of various thug-like African Americans–among them a goat–and transitions to the other side of the glass as a retinue of white cops urge a bloodied, bandaged women to identify her attacker. “Nail this little sucker. Which one is he? Point to him,” the cops say.
The goat is heard …

4 May 2013 3:30 am Warner Todd Huston

On the heels of reports that “half” the staffers at the L.A. Times would resign if the paper was sold to conservative billionaires the Koch brothers, the Newspaper Guild–Communications Workers of America, a journalist labor union, have issued a statement declaring the pair unfit to own a newspaper.

At the end of April, reports on an in-house awards ceremony held at the Los Angeles Times revealed that half the staffers in attendance claimed that they’d instantly resign if their paper was sold to Charles and David Koch, the brothers who have …

Bloomberg Assembles Leftist Cartoonists to Attack Second Amendment
3 May 2013 1:30 pm Warner Todd Huston

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is touting his newest effort to cancel the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment with a gathering of cartoons by 21 cartoonists who have taken a stand against our Constitutional right to self-protection.
As Bloomie has it, they are “the nation’s best loved cartoonists.” But what Bloomberg doesn’t mention is that this gathering isn’t just a bunch of cartoonists goaded to sudden action by current events, but is a list of artists many of whom are well known as left-wing activists. One is even a …

Another Example of How Our Miseducation System is Failing Our Kids
28 Apr 2013 6:01 pm Warner Todd Huston

Remember how you were taught in school how to add a series of numbers? Remember how you were told to write each set of numbers on top of each other, to stack them so you could then add them together to get a total?
Kids aren’t taught that any more. In fact, the system of “cubes, sheets, sticks and dots” they are taught now is so convoluted, involved and confusing that it often results in wrong answers. But correct answers isn’t the goal for today’s fetid school systems. “The process” is …

Reliable Sources: CNN’s Kurtz Faults CNN’s, NBC’s Boston Bombing Coverage
24 Apr 2013 10:29 pm Warner Todd Huston

On his Sunday broadcast, CNN’s Howard Kurtz was critical of both CNN’s and the rest of the media’s coverage of the quickly moving story of the apprehension of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects on Friday. “What is the rush to put this information that has not been confirmed on the air?” Kurtz asked of his own network as well as the rest of the progressive media establishment.
Many outlets got early aspects of the story wrong as events unfolded during that hectic Friday afternoon. Some sources said suspects were arrested …

18 Apr 2013 6:37 pm Warner Todd Huston

One of the newest conservative news sites in Britain, The Commentator, has learned that the British Broadcasting Service (BBC) may have endangered a group of British students during a trip into North Korea by slipping several reporters into the group using student visas as cover for their activities.
The trip was arranged by the London School of Economics’ (LSE) “Grimshaw Club” and took place from March 23 to 30 of this year.
Professor Craig Calhoun, the director of the LSE confirmed that the BBC used its student trip as cover to slip …

Obama’s Budget Would Use Tax $$ to Fund Lobbyists Pushing Tax Hikes
17 Apr 2013 4:34 pm Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Obama took office and one of his biggest promises was that lobbyists would never gain a foothold in his Administration? Well, now that he doesn’t have to stand for election again he’s doing his level best to give lobbyists one of their biggest perks yet. He’s trying to make it legal to give them your tax dollars so they can lobby to increase your taxes. And in fact he’s already broken laws governing lobbyists several times since 2009.
A report by the government watchdog group Cause of Action found …

The Westboro Baptist Church Thanks God for the Marathon Bombing and Promises Funeral Protests
17 Apr 2013 2:20 am John Hawkins

Democrat Fred Phelps, who runs the Westboro Baptist Church, is thanking God for the Boston Marathon bombing and claiming that it’s punishment from God for homosexuality. The group is also promising to protest the funerals of people killed in the bombing.

The group has issued a press release that reads in part, “GOD SENT THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBS! …THANK GOD FOR THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBS!”
The Westboro Baptist Church Cult, which is largely made up of relatives of Fred Phelps, has protested a number of funerals in the past to …

AP: Gosnell’s Gruesome Assistants ‘Only Following Orders’
16 Apr 2013 7:55 pm Warner Todd Huston

In shades of the Nuremberg Trials, an April 12 article from the Associated Press seems to excuse away the actions of the assistants of accused criminal abortionist Kermit Gosnell as “only following orders.”
For the AP, Maryclaire Dale begins her piece with that very sentiment saying, “They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do.”
Incredibly, throughout the article, Dale seems to absolve these assistants for the horrible things they did, softening the guilt of nearly every person accused of crimes with excuses.
In some cases, Dale claims that …

Veteran Refuses City’s Demand That He Stop Flying Flags To Honor Troops
14 Apr 2013 5:35 am John Hawkins

HOLLY HILL, Fla. — Eddie Colosimo is a Marine Corps veteran who runs a bar and grill. He’s also the President of Bikers for First Amendments Rights; so obviously, we’re talking about a man who takes his right to free speech very seriously.

For the last couple of years at his restaurant, Colosimo has been flying flags honoring veterans on the week-ends. However, the city of Holly Hill has passed a new ordinance and is now threatening to fine Colosimo $300 a day for his flags.
Not only is Colosimo refusing …

Supernanny Cass Sunstein’s ‘Friendly Paternalism’: It’s For Your Own Good, America
12 Apr 2013 4:58 pm Warner Todd Huston

Cass Sunsetein, one of President Obama’s leading left-wing, university eggheads, has penned an interesting piece in New Republic explaining how the nanny state is really a very important and useful aspect of today’s modern Democrat scheme. It’s for your own good, don’t you know?
Launching his April 8 piece, “Why Paternalism Is Your Friend,” Sunstein evokes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (mostly failed, not that Sunstein says so) nanny state efforts to take away his constituents’ freedom on such things as trans fats, sodas, and guns. Sunstein points out that to …
