Photoshop credit: VVM The Right twittersphere has been buzzing for the past week about planned ambushes of CPAC 2012, the annual gathering of conservatives in D.C., by the Occupier mob. The conference kicks off today and every major Republican speaker has a giant target on his/her back — because every fame-seeker, troll, Michael Moore wannabe, [...]

This was attached to the end of a nauseating Boston Globe article celebrating the amorous relations between Occupy protesters: Editor’s note: This story about relationships that began during Occupy Boston featured a man, Robert Stitham, who is a registered sex offender, according to state records. Had his status been discovered during reporting, the story would [...]

Tone it down.

**Written by Doug Powers Alternate headline: Romney campaign to unveil breakthrough memory erasing technology: Mitt Romney said today he’s “the ideal candidate” for the Tea Party movement because his stance on issues lines up “pretty darn well” with the movement he says will soon realize that GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich isn’t their best option for [...]

On December 16, 1773, the taxpayers of Boston had had enough. The Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum website recounts the story: On the cold evening of December 16, 1773, a large band of patriots, disguised as Mohawk Indians, burst from the South Meeting House with the spirit of freedom burning in their eyes. The [...]

**Written by Doug Powers The DNC must know it’s a ridiculous claim, but they’ve got their reasons: Who worries the Democratic National Committee after Saturday night’s Republican debate? For months, the committee has been training all of its rhetorical fire on Mitt Romney, sending out hundreds of e-mails and producing dozens of anti-Romney videos. But [...]

“Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes…”

One of those items is Scholastic News, which bills itself as “America’s [...]

Here’s my Fox and Friends appearance this morning on the political news of the day. Longtime readers know I have always identified as a CONSERVATIVE first, not a Republican. I have never identified myself as a GOP strategist or GOP operative or GOP anything throughout my writing career, which is what I was trying to [...]

Photoshop: Tennyson Hayes There’s a curious little article in the New York Times about the contretemps I blogged yesterday over FreedomWorks’ Tea Party Debt Commission. The group was scheduled to discuss its report and findings at a meeting with Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee at 2pm Eastern. At the last minute, someone pulled the plug. [...]

What are Dirty Harry and his Democratic henchmen so afraid of? Simple: Concrete solutions to kick-the-can-down-the-road fecklessness. FreedomWorks explains: Senate Rules Committee staff on Thursday removed microphones and locked the doors of a hearing room in the Russell Senate Office Building where an informal hearing was scheduled to review the findings of the Tea Party [...]

Nothing to see here, move along: Authorities say a Utah man has been arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Wells Fargo branch. Police responded early Thursday morning in West Jordan, about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City. A bank window was cracked, but authorities say the device didn’t explode. …The threat comes [...]

Scroll for updates… As the nationwide Rage-fest gets underway tomorrow to mark the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement and its devolution into a lice-infested, criminal-attracting, craptacular Molotov cocktail party, where, oh where, are the civility police? The speech monitors? The White House? Just a few weeks ago, the president’s staff rushed to [...]

It has nothing to do with anything Gloria Allred has her hands in. It’s his continued lack of preparedness on, and familiarity with, basic domestic and foreign policy issues. Sorry, Cain fans. Tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. But like Rick Perry, Herman Cain is just not ready for prime time. The [...]

Awwwwwwww yeah. Michael Moore isn’t the only one cashing in on the increasingly violent, deadly Occupy Wall Street Movement. He’s selling books. Rappyer Jay Z’s hawking t-shirts. And he’s got no plans to redistribute the wealth: Jay-Z is releasing a new line of T-shirts in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement Friday via his [...]

Because vandalizing businesses, breaking windows, provoking police, shutting down ports, and attracting rapists, thieves, and molesters to their encampments didn’t cause enough havoc… *An Occupier is dangling right now from the Tappan Zee bridge with a black-helicopter banner in Rockland County, NY that reads “Rockland Executive Legislature Cover Up Retaliation.” *Occupy DC nuts used kids [...]

It’s 11:00pm Eastern and the Occupiers are swarming the streets of the Big Apple. Because they can. Guess all the government housing and student loan candy President Obama is handing out isn’t enough. The aerial live stream is here via CBS News. Watching for the past 10 minutes, it isn’t clear where these aimless Kamp [...]

My syndicated column delves deeper into the Robin Hood Tax being peddled by the Occupiers that I mentioned the other day. Robin Hood vs. the Occupiers by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 We have entered a new phase of the endless Occupy Wall Street sleepover. Not working is hard work. After a month of [...]

We have entered a new phase of the endless Occupy Wall Street sleepover. After a month of provoking the police, generating mounds of trash, begging for free WiFi, port-o-potties, and food, teaching each other Kamp Alinsky hand signals, railing against Jews while holding up “Nazi Bankers” signs, grappling with pervs and rapists and thieves in [...]

You just have to laugh. Heartily. When I noted that the Occupy Wall Street movement was filled with a sea of progressives of pallor and challenged the Tea Party-bashing media double standards on calling attention to the demographics two weeks ago, the occupiers filled my Twitter stream with profanities and racial epithets. Soros Monkeys tried [...]

While the Kamp Alinsky Kids were taunting police officers across the country on Friday night, the Obama-Biden 2012 campaign quietly released its list of the elite deep-pocketed donors who bundled at least $20 million for the White House. I’m publishing the full list below. Some 41 bundlers bagged more than $500,000 each for Mr. Obama [...]

Photo source: Ironic Surrealism My column today tallies up some of the taxpayer costs imposed by the Kamp Alinsky Kids across the country so far. There have been other nasty consequences, too — like the cancellation of a food drive and festival in Boston due to Occupier overload. Go here to donate. Latest word from [...]

Graphic via FoxNews.com The latest GOP 2012 debate starts at 9pm Eastern tonight on Fox news. GOP Rep. Thad McCotter dropped his quixotic, redundant bid today (really, how many pro-bailout, pro-health care entitlement expansion Republicans do we need in the race), so he’s off the schedule. Taking his place: Libertarian Gary Johnson. Yep, another quixotic, [...]

Texas Tea Party activists petition Perry on illegal immigration GOP presidential front-runner Rick Perry was in New York today delivering a speech in defense of Israel’s sovereignty. Back at home, Texas Tea Party activists had their own press conference to call attention to Perry’s inattention to home state border and sovereignty issues: Texas Tea Party [...]

My column today sheds light on the longstanding bromance between Barack Obama and the Teamsters. I especially want you to have all this information handy when Obama complains on Thursday about all the infrastructure that’s still not getting built despite the $230 billion in porkulus money set aside for construction projects. I’ve been reporting for [...]

Scroll for updates… As the MSM whitewashes Big Labor’s ugly threats, Tea Party smears, and history of coerced dues-subsidized racketeering this Labor Day, what better way to mark the holiday than with an illustrated list of top 10 union thug moments of the year. 10.

Saturday quick takes: *Sarah Palin is set to speak in Iowa shortly (estimated time – 2:15pm ET). You can watch live here on C-SPAN. She is reportedly going to tackle crony capitalism. The timing couldn’t be better. *It’s not news to readers of this blog that green jobs are a hemorrhaging taxpayer-funded slush fund for [...]

Some people really don’t know when it’s time to go. GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch, apparently still gloating over his machine’s knockout of former potential primary challenger Rep. Jason Chaffetz, told a Utah TV station that he wouldn’t rule out a 2018 bid for an 8th term in the U.S. Senate. Watch it here. Looks like [...]

**Written by Doug Powers The results of this “study” are even more unexpected than the latest lousy jobs report. From the Houston Chronicle: LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tea party voters are more likely to fear change and harbor negative attitudes toward immigrants, according to a study presented Monday at the American Sociological Association’s annual conference [...]

Before I get to the big and disappointing announcement this afternoon, I want to share an e-mail from a Utah Tea Party leader in Utah who was incensed that the movement to unseat entrenched incumbent GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch was falsely portrayed as an “outside” campaign orchestrated by nefarious forces: Dear Michelle, Most of the [...]
