Say what you will about The Daily Show, this is funny stuff. Also, if anyone wants to let me in on the difference between private property and personal property, I’d be forever grateful!

New Black Panthers: “…the hour of war is at hand.”

Yeah, this is a little troubling.

O’Reilly: Solyndra Scandal “…is like Enron 2″

Justin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:58:52 +0000

Bill O’Reilly and ABC News’ Brian Ross discuss the Solyndra scandal. Not sure how this will shake out, but it isn’t looking good for the White House at the moment.

Just Keep Fiddlin’, Nero: Obama: “I Don’t Think We Are In Danger Of Another Recession”

Justin — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:27:43 +0000

I’d be willing to bet most people on the street think we’re already in another recession, so in that sense, I guess you could argue the danger has passed. Otherwise, I suspect the President needs some new advisers.

Death Of Journalism, Exhibit A: Lack Of Impartiality

Justin — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 18:28:36 +0000

Yep, that’s CBS’s Nora O’Donnell lamenting that they, “…gave them everything they wanted, and we got nothing.” Seems Ms. O’Donnell has forgotten that the job of the media is to report the facts, not promote an agenda.

Television’s days are numbered, and TV news cannot survive if reporters choose propaganda over journalism. Something else will take their place, and I’m curious to see what it is.

HT: Breitbart

Ron Paul Not Running For Congress In 2012

Justin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:03:53 +0000

Seems the good doctor is focusing all his energy on his Presidential campaign. Story is here.

Seems like a smart move on paper, as he has a better chance if he’s not spreading his resources over two campaigns, but I don’t think he has much of a chance to receive the Republican nomination, meaning one of the sane voices talking about how to fix the economy could be out of a job next year. Of course, we’re probably better off without his foreign policy ideas…

Reason TV: The Top Five Environmental Disasters that Didn’t Happen

Justin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 21:19:10 +0000

What does this prove? Ultimately, nobody knows the future. There are plenty of unforeseen variable changes that made these predictions incorrect. It also doesn’t help that politicizing environmental issues led to a big bunch of fear mongering for political gain.

Explosion At Japanese Nuclear Plant

This video comes from breitbart.tv.

Things aren’t looking good. Depending on who you want to listen to, this could be as bad or worse than Chernobyl. Even if it isn’t, it’ll still be pretty bad.

Another Reason Walmart Scares Me: Napolitano Announces DHS Partnership With Retailer

Justin — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:22:21 +0000

CBS has the story here, but the gist of it is that several Walmart stores will have monitors at the checkouts playing a video encouraging people to look for, and report, suspicious activity. Sounds harmless enough, but something just doesn’t feel right about it. Can’t quite put my finger on it.

Rasmussen Reports: Voter Faith in Afghan Victory Hits New Low

Justin — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 19:17:54 +0000

Check it out here.

I’m no military expert, but I’d guess that any war that goes on this long will lose voter support. It just seems to be dragging on with no end in sight, and nobody wants a modern version of the Hundred Years War.
