Massive Lead for Walker in Recall Election

The lapdog media is spinning the Wisconsin recall election polling in favor of their union comrades. Even the usually reliable Rasmussen is way off on this one--they show only a 5 pt. lead by Walker. However, the graph below shows the results from the "prediction market" known as Intrade, where people are free to bet on election results. And those who put their money-where-their-mouth-is, are betting heavily on Governor Scott Walker. Note that at time of publication, on June 5, the price for a Walker win stood at 93. A closing price of 90 on the graph below equates to a 90% probability of event occurring (in this case, that Scott Walker wins the recall election). A $9 bet against Walker would return $100 if Walker loses.  With returns like that, you can be certain that money hungry Unions would be betting large sums against Walker if they believed he had a reasonable shot at victory. In short, almost no-one is willing to bet on Tom Barrett and the unions. You can learn more about "Prediction Markets" here. 

 

Bill O'Reilly Examines the Money Behind OWS

Bill O'Reilly in this Talking Points Memo on 5/22/2012 identifies the money and power behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. O'Reilly identifies long time left wing activist John Cavanagh, Director of the Institute for Policy Studies, which is is funded to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars by none other than George Soros through the Tides Foundation. Also SEIU, headed by leftist Mary Kay Henry provides free rent to OWS. Warning: viewers may want to stop the video at about 4:15 point before the inane Alan Combes chimes in.




Not mentioned by O'Reilly is Moveon.org. Here's a copy of the Moveon.org Occupy Spring training "Trainer's notes" booklet. The long list of radical organizations orchestrating OWS includes Van Jones and Rebuild the Dream, SEIU, AFL-CIO, Tides, New Organizing Institute, Movement Strategy Center, Jobs with Justice, UAW, National Peoples Action, Color of Change, UNITE HERE, Greenpeace, Institute for Policy Studies, PICO (IAF), Working Families Party, Rainforest Action Network, American Federation of Teachers, Leadership Center for the Common Good, UNITY, National Guestworker Alliance, International Brotherhood of the Teamsters, Pushback Network, Progressive Democtrats of America, Change to Win, Global Justice Alliance, Campaign Action Fund, ENGAGE, NDLON, Working Families, Presente.org, and POWER....just to name a few.

Any the MSM said the TEA Party movement was orchestrated. Amazing.

"The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas"

One of the conservative movement's leading thinkers, Jonah Goldberg, discusses his new book, The Tyranny of Clichés, which exposes and refutes the many silly meme's that liberals use to push their agenda. Also, this is my first exposure to GBTV and it's very impressive.

Obama, the Chronic Liar

Glenn Beck Exposes the many, many, lies of President Obama. You won't see anything like this in the MSM but each time Sarah Palin opens her mouth, there are 100 "fact checkers" from the NY Slimes and the Washington Compost waiting to set the record straight.

Creative Genius of Dave Brubeck

Freedom is the rallying call for those of us who oppose the social justice agenda. But lest we forget, freedom is not just the mother of productivity and wealth, but also of creativity. Jazz is truly one of the uniquely American forms of art, and the greatness of those who created it wasn't borne out of grants from the NEA or some master plan of elites. Jazz emerged spontaneously from the creative spark in the hearts of its performers and their love for their art—in a society that accepts and values individuality and change. So, in honor of April being Jazz Appreciation Month…here is Dave Brubeck’s classic, Take Five, performed in Belgium in 1964. Enjoy the show!

If I Wanted America to Fail

"If I Wanted America to Fail" is a powerful video about how the environmental agenda has been infected by extremism and has become an economic suicide pact. The video was created by FreeMarketAmerica.Org, an organization fighting to protect America against attempts to control individuals through de-industrialization and other wacko environmentalist policies that concentrate the power of the state. It's mission is...

"...to defend economic freedom against environmental extremism. Since the 1960s, environmental regulation has skyrocketed by over 7,000 percent! It’s a no-brainer that everyone wants clean water and clean air. But when it comes to environmental regulation, we’ve catapulted past commonsense."
