Barack Obama’s “Social Innovation” slush fund by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2013 We all know now what the vengeful Obama IRS has been doing to conservative nonprofits the past four years: strangling them in the crib.

Scytl: Voter Fraud Facts and Fiction by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 With six months until Election Day, conspiracy theories are percolating on the Internet like bubbling mud pots at Yellowstone: Left-wing billionaire George Soros is going to rig the election for Barack Obama.

Kris Kobach, the GOP candidate for Secretary of State in Kansas has won his race — unseating incumbent Democrat Chris Biggs by a huge margin.

I kid you not: Bed bugs. ACORN Canada is using the issue to push a new government licensing scheme on all landlords, which would drive up rent and lead to less affordable housing, not more. Gotta love these social justice crusaders — worse than the pests they’re exploiting.

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti My reporting on ACORN’s housing counseling grant rip-offs go back to April 2008, when I spotlighted the left-wing mortgage counseling racket. As bad as the ACORN/Obama alliance is, I’ve pointed out several times that this mess festered under the Bush administration and a GOP ruling majority. Now, GOP Rep. Daryl Issa […]

Redundant, really.

Good news to report, via the Center for Individual Rights: Today an abrupt end came to a lawsuit that Project Vote, an affiliate of the Association of Community […]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti The pimp-advice-giving liberal organization will close down operations on April 1. Ironic? Maybe not. Somebody at ACORN just might be clever enough to have picked the date to telegraph the organization’s intentions. ACORN will continue to live in some form or another. Organizations like ACORN don’t die; they retreat and regroup. […]

“The truth shall set me free.”

The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack reports tonight that Illinois Democrat Sen. Roland Burris is claiming credit for inserting a provision that may benefit ACORN.

Inconvenient data.

Big Government has a treasure trove of ACORN docs dumped to cover the criminal racket’s tracks before Jerry Brown launched a pretend probe.

Hey, […]

Nobody knows nuttin’ about the blatant cash-for-votes scheme involving the Ohio University College Democrats and the Athens County Democratic Party in Athens, Ohio.
