I was so happy to see Glenn Beck talk about labor unions, “Cadillac Health Plans” and the socialists involved in each during his show today on Fox News Channel. Why? Because, two months ago, I captured a half-dozen liberal heavyweights talking about those very subjects on video.

Amanda Simpson
Didn’t hear much about the Obama Administration’s appointment of Amanda Simpson (right) to serve as a senior technical adviser to the Department of Commerce? Neither did I.
Why do you think her appointment didn’t receive much attention in the mainstream media? Perhaps, it’s because President Barack Obama’s poll numbers [...]

Texas Tech University’s firing of head football coach Mike Leach has launched what I predict will be a heated public relations battle involving YouTube videos and aggressive personal injury lawyers.
Within hours of news breaking about Leach’s firing, a 16-second video (below) which purports to show the electrical closet where receiver Adam [...]

Though the always-transparent (NOT!) White House web site contains no news of it, President Barack Obama has reportedly signed an executive order — yes, another one.

The decision by officials at the 61-year-old company, once considered one of the country’s largest and most financially-sound flatbed motor carriers, came as a shock to many.

I’m often asked how conservatives attracted to the Tea Party Movement and to anti-socialism rallies can work together to take back control of the country from the liberals now in charge. I respond by recounting much of what I explained 18 days ago in my post, Think Twice Before Backing [...]

Dressed in blue jeans and wearing a large parka, ski cap and sun glasses, I spent almost 20 minutes early this afternoon mingling among approximately two-dozen people being paid, according to a union source not at the rally, $11 an hour by St. Louis-area union bosses to wave pre-printed signs in [...]

For several hours Thursday afternoon, Americans were riveted to their television sets, having been told that a 6-year-old boy might be inside an accidentally-launched homemade balloon as it soared out of control across the skies of Colorado.
