On Thursday night, looking at the tornadoes across the South, ABC’s Sam Champion ridiculously claimed “everybody is asking if climate change played a role here.” Brian […]
The Wisconsin Witch Hunt Goes National
By Michelle Malkin On May 1, left-wing vigilantes will target companies across the country that have committed a mortal sin: sending donations to GOP Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Rest assured, such intolerable acts of political free speech will not go unpunished by tolerant Big Labor activists. They’re calling for both a national boycott of […]

A Wedding Of State
By Andrew Bolt Here in Australia, the Wedding was shown live, and every TV Channel covered it. Because of the time difference, the proceedings were during Prime Time evening viewing, so there would have been huge numbers of viewers watching. There have always been rumblings here in Australia that we should make a break from […]
How Oil Profits Are Good for Americans
By Nicolas Loris You could substitute a newspaper article from June 2008 with today’s gas price stories, and no one would know the difference. The story is the same: politicians blaming speculators and big oil while ignoring supply and demand issues and the impact of a weak dollar on oil prices. It’s been easy for […]
The Media Campaign
A Dry Bones Cartoon Up until now there have been three people whose names in a cartoon are enough to stimulate angry responses. The three are Pollard, Obama, and Glenn Beck. 1- Any use of the President’s middle name brands me as a racist! 2- Any discussion of Pollard and his abandonment by the Jewish […]

Mexico To File Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Industry

President Felipe Calderon and other Mexican government officials are accusing […]
History is No Help to the Federal Reserve
By Alan Caruba Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, gave a press conference on Wednesday and, try as I did, I fell asleep almost immediately. For those suffering from insomnia, I would recommend you “take two Bernanke’s and call me in the morning.” At the time of his appointment Bernanke was widely known as an expert […]
Maxine Waters: Swamp Queen
By Michelle Malkin Confirmed: “Drain the swamp” is Washington-speak for “Let it fester.” While House ethics watchdogs dither, it’s shady business as usual for ethics scandal-plagued Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters. Last summer, the House Ethics Committee charged the entrenched California congresswoman with three violations related to her wheeling and dealing on behalf of minority-owned OneUnited […]
No Wonder China Likes The Global Warming Scare
By Andrew Bolt The great emissions-slashing scam is just a way of shifting jobs from the West to the East, while doing not a cracker for the climate: Cuts in carbon emissions by developed countries since 1990 have been cancelled out many times over by increases in imported goods from developing countries such as China, […]
WikiLeaking on GITMO
By James Carafano, PhD WikiLeaks, which has been sitting on an enormous cache of classified U.S. government documents, released another batch of materials to U.S. and European news “partners” including The New York Times. According to press reports, the documents include “intelligence assessments of nearly every one of the 779 individuals who have been held […]

Tony’s Notes From The Bony Novels (Part 21)
April 27, 2011 by TonyfromOz
THE CLOSING POST. I really cannot remember the first time I read one of these Bony novels from Arthur Upfield. I seem to think it may have been late in 1969. I later purchased and read a second, but again, when you are young, reading was not really a major thing in one’s life. Throughout […]
Drag The Alarmists In For Questioning
By Andrew Bolt I KNOW we can’t expect the media to be saints with scaremongers. Scares sell, and sometimes scares even turn out to be true.
