I wrote earlier this month about the need for the Right to counter the huge Obamacare push by the big government alliance. Resistance has to happen on the ground, on the airwaves, and in the halls of Congress. ACORN, the SEIU, and the rest of the liberal grass-roots network are organized and committed to helping [...]

(Photo source: 2008 ACORN slideshow presentation) They thought it would go away. They were wrong. Obama and the Left thought ACORN’s scandalous racket was a dead issue. But whistleblowers, investigative bloggers, and talk radio continue to press for transparency and taxpayer accountability. Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King has renewed efforts for congressional hearings into the [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti Here are just a few of the exchanges between NYTimes reporter Stephanie Strom and ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief last summer and fall over the increasingly obvious links between ACORN, Project Vote, and the Obama campaign. (Both Strom and MonCrief used pseudonymous e-mail addresses while communicating). It was my blog post on [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti My syndicated column today takes another whack at the New York Times. Outside of the blogosphere and Fox News, the Fishwrap of Record’s admission that it spiked an election eve story on the possible illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN’s canvassing arm, Project Vote, has gotten zero scrutiny. Fortunately, [...]

ObamACORN and the Fishwrap of Record.

Democrat Rep. John Conyers backs down from his pledge to investigate ACORN fraud: Bok, bok, bok. Matthew Vadum zeroes in on the right question: What happened in a mere two weeks to change Conyers’ mind? Did he get a call from friends of ACORN in high places? Did he get something else? Why drop the [...]

“The auctioneer, who had a pacemaker according to associates, began to collapse and was later taken to a local hospital.”

My column today spotlights the radical re-shaping of the electoral landscape by the Obama and Company census conspirators. The immediate agenda of the left-wing census volunteer groups: freezing immigration raids. The long-term goal: Exploiting the massive population of illegal aliens to redraw the political map and secure a permanent ruling majority. As I’ve long argued, [...]

Big government bedfellows.

My syndicated column today continues the theme I blogged about two days ago in the “Rule of the Mob” post. Keep an eye on next week’s G20 summit in London. Thousands of anti-capitalism zealots will be amassing there to intimidate and harass bankers. The vandalizing of the Scottish ex-banking executive’s home in Edinburgh is just [...]

I’m scheduled to talk about the GIVE/SERVE Act on Glenn Beck’s show at around 5:30pm Eastern. (Update: Watch the vid at Hot Air.) Quin Hilyer takes a closer look at the creepy national service expansion plans in today’s DC Examiner, and posts an update on one troublesome provision: Between being first officially “reported” to the [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti An ACORN fund-raiser on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals? I’m kidding, right? Nope. And a GOP Senator approves of this? I’m kidding, right? Alas, it is true.

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti Fox News reports that ACORN will be one of a plethora of left-wing groups “helping out” with the Census. But of course. The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year’s count, raising concerns about [...]

It was a beclowning. A cable castration. Sacrificial slaughter. Sadomasochist programming. But more than anything else, the Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer show was an object lesson. An object lesson in how the one thing the media/infotainment world loves to cover most is itself, itself, itself. Here is a screenshot of the top half of Memeorandum, the [...]

Militants.

The sound of silence.

If it isn’t fraudulent ACORN foreclosure “victims” siphoning off taxpayer funds, it’s well-off home borrowers in Nancy Pelosi’s backyard demanding a piece of the mortgage bailout pie. Moochers to the left of me, moochers to the far left… Legislation heading to the floor of the House today would help more Bay Area homeowners qualify for [...]

My column this week expands on my debunking of ACORN’s sob story foreclosure “victims.” In the latest developments on the Baltimore ACORN break-in, ACORN activist Donna Hanks was arrested and criminally charged. Just one more on top of her other brushes with the law (which the Washington Post and others have yet to report). The [...]

On Feb. 18, I warned about the ACORN civil disobedience mob working in ideological tandem with Barack Obama to bully Washington into passing a massive new foreclosure prevention/mortgage entitlement scheme. On Feb. 20, I noted that ACORN garnered nationwide media attention for breaking and entering into a foreclosed home in Baltimore at 315 South Ellwood [...]

Criminal.

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti My syndicated column today looks at the massive mortgage entitlement campaign launched by President Obama today — and the concurrent, anti-foreclosure bullying campaign launched by ACORN. I’ve been warning about this for weeks (see here, here, here, and here) — and in particular, I’ve been blasting the Republicans for playing right [...]

Shakedown. Payback. Repeat.

Erick Erickson at RedState shines light on a $90 million set-aside in the “stimulus” for the left-wing Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, which is buried in the larger Boob Tube bailout for digital TV: The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (”LCCR”) is a far left interest group. The group opposed conservative judges. The group agitates [...]

Stimulus slush fund for housing entitlement thugs by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2008 From tiny acorns, mighty government debacles grow. House GOP Leader John Boehner on Monday rightly sounded the alarm over billions in stimulus tax dollars that could potentially go to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. But the Republican leadership [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti On Monday, I noted GOP House Speaker John Boehner’s warning about the ObamACORN funding provisions in the House version of the Generational Theft Act of 2009. As expected, the slush fund/payback program for the left-wing fraudsters is still in there. Here’s the direct link to the section in H.R. 1. And [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti House GOP leader John Boehner’s office reports that the left-wing voter fraud/illegal alien/housing entitlement racketeers at ACORN “could get billions” more in federal taxpayer funding from the Democrats’ stimulus bill. Here: Incredibly, the Democrats’ bill makes groups like ACORN eligible for a $4.19 billion pot of money for “neighborhood stabilization activities.” [...]

What do Jesse Jackson, ACORN, La Raza, Hank Paulson, and the enviro-lobby have in common? Citibank. Matthew Vadum has the lowdown. Hat tip: Stacy McCain. *** Related: Four major banks, including one that collapsed, two that received federal bailout money and one that filed for bankruptcy this past September, paid former President Clinton $2.1 million [...]

…not by the federal government, alas, but by the U.S. Catholic Bishops. Good for them: The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has not yet been able to determine if grants made to ACORN were used for fraudulent voter registration, but has cut off all funding to the community organizing group, Bishop Robert Morin announced [...]

All in the family.

Answer: Only when race card-playing Barack Obama, opponent of photo ID requirements at the voting booth, is worried about security at his Election Night party in Chicago. This is just too, too rich.
