Citizen journalists in China have succeeded in getting a wasteful government official fired by reporting on a lavish party he threw paid for by government funds. The Communist Party boss of Taizhou City, Zhang Aihua, had developed a habit of extravagant parties, high spending, and glad-handing industrial representatives, so much so that local residents had [...]
Incredibly sad news to share with old friends in the blogosphere. Christopher Kanis died on March 20, 2013. Kanis is better known to long time blog readers as “Spoons” of the The Spoons Experience. Kanis meet his wife via his blog, and was with her on a cruise when he died. From The News-Gazette: URBANA [...]
Once again I am attending the Conservative Political Action Conference here in Washington D.C.–well, not D.C. exactly but outside the city in National Harbor, Maryland, a 20 minute drive from downtown. The morning started off with Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, U.S. Representative Allen West, and Senator Pat Toomey and a few others. CPAC’s early [...]
On February 14, President Obama will again host a Google Hangout to take questions from members of Google Plus, one of the net’s newer social networks. Calling it a “Fireside Hangout,” the President will answer pre-submitted questions and videos from Americans. Tech savvy moves like this have been a hallmark of this President and it [...]
There’s simply too much to cover about Hurricane Sandy and it’s push toward the Mid-Atlantic and New York/New Jersey, so we’ll put up a discussion thread and live blog. To start with here’s a live feed (via Google) of The Weather Channel: Tell your stories and share pictures below.
And here we thought we were the only ones causing issues for our readers. Consider this our blogosphere public service announcement for the day… If you’re a fan of Glenn Reynolds’ Instapundit site and also an avid feed reader you might be wondering if he’s on vacation or offline. You see those who read Instapundit [...]
In case you didn’t already learn about it elsewhere, convicted serial bomber Brett Kimberlin lost in his attempt to silence blogger Aaron Walker through legal means. Click here to read Aaron’s report about what happened.
It sure looks like it. Look what popped up on our feed list: Notice the post is by “Brent Buttsmell,” as opposed to Brent Bozell, the founder of Media Research Center who publish Newsbusters. The title is “9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB” and the text is “IT WAS OhBAMA!” That sure looks like a hack. [...]
Once again the left-wing media edits a video to misrepresent what a Republican is saying in order to make him look the idiot. This time on June 18 at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, MSNBC and Andrea Mitchell edited the context right out of a video of what Romney said about eastern U.S. chain restaurant [...]
For my final report on the fifth annual Right Online 2012 sponsored by Americans for Prosperity we’ll be talking about the parade of great speakers like NRO writer Jonah Goldberg and environmental apostate (as far as the left is concerned) Ann McElhinney. But first a word about the great hotel and casino in which we [...]
This will be a photo blast of some of this morning’s speakers here at Right Online 2012 in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada. I Tweeted most of these AM speakers and you can read those Tweets at http://twitter.com/warnerthuston. We got to hear once again from Michelle Malkin who impressed upon us how important Twitter has become [...]
I am here in Las Vegas this weekend to attend Right Online 2012 (the 5th annual) sponsored by Americans for Prosperity. Last night was epic and today’s activities promise to be even greater. Friday Last night we were regaled by a welcoming by Americans For Prosperity President Tim Phillips and a handful of other speakers [...]
Back on May 24 I posted a story on convicted domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin who had launched a crusade not only to drag some conservative bloggers to court with nuisance lawsuits, but to try and intimidate them by posting things about their personal lives like phone numbers, addresses and that of the blogger’s family members. [...]
The SWAT-ing of bloggers is finally being discussed in national news reports. First, FoxNews.com carried a story about SWAT-ing. Then ABC News reported it on its website. Now, SWAT-ting has made prime-time news. SWAT-ting was discussed at the beginning of the 7 June 2012 edition of Special Report with Bret Baier. Baier was interviewing U.S. Senator Saxby [...]
If convicted domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin hoped to keep his criminal past hidden from the general public, then he is going to be disappointed, because Fox News is now reporting on Kimberlin’s alleged war against bloggers who write about him. In a story titled Conservative bloggers say they’re targets of dangerous ‘SWAT-ing’ prank, FoxNews.com reveals [...]
This is the third attempted murder via SWAT against critics of Brett Kimberlin.
Convicted domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin doesn’t want people to know about his criminal history, and he has attempted to silence any blogger who writes about Kimberlin’s criminal history. In response, the blogosphere has answered blogger Lee Stranahan’s call to make 25 May 2012 Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day. Stranahan has detailed information about Kimberlin, which is more than [...]
OK, you people, I am sick and tied of this. The Americans with Disabilities Act is NOT being fairly applied. That’s right. You read that headline correctly. Conservative, white, male bloggers NEED a hand from Washington. In fact, I’d say we have a right to it. We are being discriminated against even from those on [...]
Remember “Who is John Galt?” Now it’s real, now it’s “Be Breitbart.” From I Own The World: HERE IS THE LINK TO “THE SHIRT“ ALL MONEY LEFT AFTER THE COST OF MATERIALS, SHIPPING AND HANDLING WILL BE GIVEN TO THE ANDREW BREITBART FAMILY. UPDATE 4: Here is the graphic that will go to the shop. [...]
Buzzfeed was the first to indulge it’s inner gossip — well, maybe its outer gossip since that is all that site is; gossip. Anyway, the stupid story of the day is based on the hearty handshake that Rick Santorum gave Ron Paul after Wednesday’s debates. Paul’s fans took offense at the handshake for some idiotic [...]
(Note: The Wardman Marriott lost all Internet connection half way through the event on Thursday and it never came back so no one in the entire building had any connection unless they had their own Internet aircard. I apologize for not getting these up earlier today, but there was no help for it!) Long-time media [...]
The gauzy puffery that the Old Media slathers upon the Occupy Wall Street movement has helped keep most Americans in the dark about how nasty, how violent, how outrageous, and even how incredibly lacking in integrity this movement is. On the conservative blogs the truth is well known, of course, but the fact that few [...]
It’s been a while since I wrote about the guy who used to be Charles Johnson, who ran a really great blog called “Little Green Footballs,” back when that actually meant something good. It was a big influence on my decision to become a blogger, and I gave it a lot of links. But then [...]
I know him as Mike… as a funny guy who actually does stand up comedy locally… as a pillar of the community… as a business owner… as a Dad and husband and uncle and brother and friend… But now I get to know him as a blogger at Interesting Times: Do you remember when the [...]
If there's one thing that the Tucson shooting has provoked, it's a lot of people going back and flushing a whole bunch of stuff down the memory holes. History must…
