He is the man behind the awesome MichelleMalkin.com iPhone/iPad and Android Apps, which have earned rave reviews from users. Ed is now working full time at BlogRescue.com and is welcoming all inquiries for blog-related projects. Services here. Ed’s [...]

There is perhaps no greater image of irony tonight than that of anti-capitalist, anti-corporate, anti-materialist extremists of the Occupy Wall Street movement paying tribute to Steve Jobs — the co-founder, chairman and former chief executive of Apple Inc., who passed away this evening. While the Kamp Alinsky Kids ditch school to moan about their massive [...]

A creative genius. American original. Entrepreneur extraordinaire. His vision transcended politics. His success showcased the power of the free market and individual initiative. R.I.P. From Apple CEO Tim Cook: Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to [...]

Whoa. Fresh reports that a second U.S. jihadi was killed in the drone attack that allegedly took out al Qaeda spiritual guru Anwar al-Awlaki. His name will be very familiar to longtime blog readers. It’s Samir Khan: A young American who edited al Qaeda’s English-language magazine, and had urged Muslims to mount deadly attacks on [...]

**Written by Doug Powers A very happy Father’s Day to all our dad readers, and I’d like to send out a special one to my own dad. My kids made me homemade cards. I don’t melt easily but that does it every time, although some will blame global warming. So far though nobody here has [...]

Andrew Lawton, a Canadian conservative blogger and radio host on whose show I’ve had the pleasure and honor to appear, suffered a life-threatening medical emergency last December. Today, he courageously discloses the full story behind his health scare: He had attempted to take his life through an intentional drug overdose. Family and faith lifted him [...]

I’ve been so preoccupied with family matters that I’ve neglected to tell you that our tech wizard Ed Burns of BlogRescue has written a super-cool iPhone/iPad app for the blog. You can now get it at the App Store. Click here for more info and be sure to tell your Apple-using friends and family. *** [...]

Hi, readers. Earlier today, the site was maliciously attacked. Many of you were either unable to access the site or received an intrusion message. The tech team is on it. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we get the site back up and running.

The Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves. In Philadelphia, home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the city government has proposed smacking bloggers — our generation’s pamphleteers — with a $300 business tax. Yes, they are now requiring a license for Internet activists and hobbyists to exercise their free speech. Via Philly [...]

A few weeks ago, many of you helped out as beta testers for the michellemalkin.com Android app. My website tech guru Ed Burns informs me that our free blog app is now up and running. Just go to the Android Market on your phone and search for “Michelle Malkin.” If you have a smartphone with [...]

The U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the Obama FCC’s bid to expand its regulatory powers over the Internet this afternoon. As Clarice Feldman headlined the ruling succinctly: “Nyet to ‘Net Neutrality.’” Your refresher course via ReasonTV (more background here): Adam Bitely’s right. The speech redistributors may have lost this battle, but they won’t give [...]

I had the pleasure last year of attending the 2009 Sammies Awards ceremony in Chicago held by the Sam Adams Alliance. The awards honor the country’s finest in citizen leadership and political activism — and I met some amazing grass-roots leaders, entrepreneurs, creative artists and whistleblowers. The group has just announced the 2010 winners, including [...]

My friends at The Jawa Report, the counterterrorism blog that has done heroic work unmasking jihadi operatives online and on YouTube, have an exclusive report on the whistleblower who turned in “Jihad Jane.” Read the whole thing here — and be sure to send thanks and praise to the vigilant bloggers and watchdogs looking out [...]

Note from MM: The following message about the acquisition of Hot Air, the group blog I founded in 2006, is cross-posted at Hot Air this morning. What a great week it was for Hot Air. And what a great future lies ahead for Allahpundit, Ed Morrissey, and the new Salem team! My thanks to Salem’s [...]

Last month, Big Hollywood’s Patrick Courrielche broke news on how the NEA was rustling up artists to help “serve” the White House political agenda. Big Government’s Mike Flynn and John Nolte have a follow-up here. (Updated: Courrielche has posted audio from the call contradicting the NEA’s spin here.) And the Washington Times — which reported [...]

I’m in Nashville today for the inaugural Smart Girl Politics summit. These ladies were instrumental in the Tea Party movement and are organizing limited government activists across the country at the local and state level. It’s an incredible story — and you’ll never hear/read about it in the Washington Post Style section or on The [...]

Sorry for the light bloggging. Back on a plane to Colorado. Had a fantastic time at AFP’s Right Online. You can watch my Hot Air colleague Ed Morrissey’s speech here and my remarks here. The energy at the conference was infectious. More later after I get home! Talk amongst yourselves.

Longtime readers will remember the wonderful 2,996 Project honoring the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The project is gearing up for this year’s event and needs your help. Katie Favazza is helping spread the word. Please click here to sign up, participate, and spread the word.

Longtime readers are familiar with my friends at The Jawa Report, the indispensable anti-jihad blog that has busted countless traitors and terror enablers on the web. The Jawa Report founder and editor-in-chief, who blogs pseudonymously as Rusty Shackleford, received yet another a Muslim death threat by online anti-Semites who have threatened him before. I got [...]

US journalist Roxana Saberi turns 32 today in an Iranian prison. After an hour-long trial, she was sentenced to eight years behind bars for “espionage.” She was initially told she was arrested for buying bootleg wine, and then because she was working as a journalist without a license. She’s now on day five of a [...]

Unhinged CNN reporter Susan Roesgen is on “vacation” after scrapping with Tea Party protesters last week, but her bosses are still hard at work trying to stifle Tea Party voices of dissent. As many of you know, CNN forced the takedown of behind-the-scenes video shot by Andrew Marcus of Founding Bloggers and posted to YouTube. [...]

I’m in Chicago tonight for the “Sammies” awards — presented by the Sam Adams Alliance. They do fabulous work on open government, transparency and blogivism. Full list of award winners here. Congrats to all! What are you up to this weekend?

This would be funny if it were not so pathetic. Newspaper publishers want Google to adjust its search engine rankings to give preferential treatment to Old Media. The industry is in trouble and it’s looking for any help it can get — and anyone to blame: Major media companies are increasingly lobbying Google to elevate [...]

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of blogger Bill Faith. He died of a heart attack and had been in ill health. Bill ran the blog Small Town Veteran and founded/contributed to Old War Dogs. I linked to his work many times over the years. He was also a valuable commenter here [...]

Scroll for updates and links to the lame and lamer liberal responses to this post… Before we fully launch into the action-packed first week of 2009, I want to provide you with a year-end wrap-up of original blog reporting on this site and across the conservative blogosphere. Why? Well, over the weekend, a few bloggers [...]

Why Paulson reminds me of Dory the fish.

A group of dissident Cuban bloggers has been planning a gathering for December 6. Fidel Castro and his thugs are not happy. Over the past few weeks, Michael Moore’s dream paradise has been slowly tightening its vice grip to silence the bloggers. Over the 48 hours, two bloggers have been summoned by police. Ernesto Hernández [...]

Bill Kristol writes that blogger Dean Barnett has passed away. He battled cystic fibrosis while maintaining a tireless blogging/writing schedule. Dean was brilliant, hilarious, and gracious — one of the OG’s of the blogosphere, a trenchant essayist, and a talented radio host to boot. He will be missed. Dean Barnett’s home on the web: Soxblog.

Gravitas. The media’s in a tizzy over Colin Powell’s Meet the Press endorsement of Barack Obama this morning. It’s not a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention to his pro-Obama murmurings over the last four months. How will people outside the Beltway bubble respond? Yawn. Here’s the vid: Powell’s embrace of Barack Obama is a [...]
