President Obama has given ACORN $729,849 so far this year

The president's new economic stimulus package, the so-called "jobs bill," contains as much as $15 billion for radical left-wing groups such as ACORN (his former employer). Obama has been using his presidential bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress "pass this bill," even though there is no bill yet. Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed "American Jobs Act of 2011" apparently hasn't even been introduced in Congress.

Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money

Here's the top of my new (and inaugural) piece at Pajamas Media today: ACORN and other radical left-wing groups would be eligible for up to $15 billion in federal funding if President Obama’s new economic stimulus package becomes law.

Radical Rage: Marxist Mob Plans to Occupy Wall Street

The artwork associated with a political movement says a lot about that movement. The US Day of Rage's Twitter feed features a photo of a defaced ten-dollar bill. Someone has added black hair and a Hitler moustache to Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, whom Congress honored in 1999 as "the man who more than any other designed the Government of the United States."

More nonsense and lies from Salon’s Alex Pareene

Believe it or not Rachel Maddow lookalike Alex Pareene of Salon isn't quite as dimwitted as his writing suggests. He seems to grasp the issues but like Brad Friedman and a gazillion other left-wingers Pareene doesn't give a farthing's cuss about ballot box integrity. The former Wonkette writer (yes, Wonkette, the thinking person's Perez Hilton) demonizes anybody who dares to suggest that people should have to prove who they are when they show up at polling stations to vote.

Obama’s Defilement of 9/11

As the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, President Obama is again pushing his "National Day of Service" in an effort to pervert the meaning of that terrible day for partisan political purposes.

Darby Made Them Do It?

A new article of mine from Front Page Magazine: As I write in my new book Subversion Inc., Brandon Darby has been a target ever since it was publicly revealed that he saved the lives of innocent Americans by thwarting the planned fire-bombing of the 2008 Republican Convention by two anarchists.

Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named After ACORN Voter Fraud Factory

One of the co-conspirators in a White House-approved plot to use federal resources to produce partisan propaganda to advance President Obama's policy agenda has been chosen to lead an Obama 2012 get-out-the-vote (GOTV) effort.

Voting Early and Often in NC: Four Charged with Crime the Left Says Doesn’t Exist

We keep hearing from the usual suspects on the Left that voter fraud is virtually non-existent, a figment of the collective imagination of eeevil racist vote-suppressing Republicans.

‘Banana Republic’ ACORN Hit with Maximum Fine in Voter Fraud Scheme

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) was fined the maximum of $5,000 in Las Vegas today for its role in a massive voter fraud conspiracy.

The Soros Loophole

I have a piece at Front Page Magazine today about ACORN patron George Soros. It's titled The Soros Loophole. Here's the top of it:

ACORN’s Campaign Against Money Mart May Lead to Violence and Blackmail

(Special to Canada Free Press) Pressure. Protests. Picketing. This is how it begins. The Canadian branch of the U.S.-based organized crime syndicate ACORN is gearing up to extort Money Mart, a check cashing and payday loan company. In greater Vancouver, British Columbia, ACORN has been leading a shakedown campaign against Money Mart over the supposedly exorbitant fees it charges to transfer money to dangerous, corrupt, politically unstable, kleptocratic Third World hellholes like Somalia and Kenya where people get murdered for a single dollar.

Obama Lied, America’s Credit Rating Died

Another exciting historic first for President Obama! The venerable Standard & Poor's has officially downgraded the U.S. government's credit rating from AAA to AA-plus for the first time ever.

Sarah Palin is Right: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Them

It is a time-honored radical tactic to accuse your enemies of what you do in order to convert a negative into a positive, as the master of political agitation Saul Alinsky taught. This explains the Left’s newfound interest in the lie that the Tea Party is comprised of “terrorists.”

Voter Fraud: What a knee slapper! Matthew Vadum on “The Colbert Report”

I was on "The Colbert Report" last night -- for maybe a second, held up for ridicule because I believe voter fraud is a bad thing. (full video at bottom of this post)

Even As They Devour Your Tax Dollars, the Deadbeat Thugs of ACORN Housing Owe $163,000 in Back Taxes

The criminals at ACORN, President Obama's former employer, never stop ripping off American taxpayers. The massive conglomerate ACORN Housing Corp. and its subsidiaries owe an eye-popping $162,813 in back taxes, according to the Nexis public records database.

Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is “Impeachable Act”

If President Obama unilaterally raises the nation's debt ceiling without the consent of Congress, it would be an "impeachable act," Congressman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told his constituents. (Incidentally, I said the same thing in this space two days ago.)

Taxpayer Funding Isn’t A Right—Unless You’re Jerrold Nadler

It may sound like an observation worthy of Captain Obvious, but activist groups do not have a constitutional right to taxpayer funding. Amazingly, in ACORN et al. v. U.S. a federal judge in Brooklyn named Nina Gershon, not to be confused with Gina Gershon of Showgirls fame, actually ruled that ACORN had constitutionally protected rights in the congressional appropriations process and that those so-called rights had somehow been violated by an vewy vewy eeeevil vast right-wing conspiracy. Supposedly the Bill of Attainder Clause had been infringed and ACORN had been singled out for punishment without trail. This assumes, of course, that ceasing to fund an odious group like ACORN amounts to punishment.
