The ‘consensus’ begins to crumble as scientists dispute global warming claims

Global warming has been called the greatest hoax of all time by some in the scientific community.  Al Gore, James Hansen and others like them rally around a supposed ‘consensus’ that man is the primary driving force behind climate change.  Dissenting voices are oftentimes shouted down without being given an opportunity to be heard. 
One scientific [...]

An interesting Thornton City Council meeting

I usually refrain from commenting on issues dealing with the City of Thornton itself as I have learned that politics, even on the local level, can be a nasty affair.  My commentary on city affairs in the past has impacted other, non-related endeavors which is of course entirely unfair but a sad reality.
Nevertheless, after watching [...]


Study: Nature responsible for global warming, not man

A new peer-reviewed study calls into question the so-called ‘consensus’ on the causes of global warming by saying that “Nature, not man, responsible for recent global warming.”  The new study authored by three Australian scientists and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research says that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) accounts for the vast majority [...]


NEA: Education should take back seat to the power of the union

Ah yes, two of my favorite topics rolled into one – unions and education.  Love them or hate them, unions are a powerful force in this nation and none more so than the National Education Association.  The NEA and its affiliates represent millions of teachers across the country rolling in millions of dollars in dues [...]


CompleteColorado.com: Killer immigrant had long rap sheet

Almost two weeks ago we wrote about the case of Benny Sitinjak and Jose Hernandez-Castellanos, two apparent illegal immigrants who were street racing in Aurora and crashed.  The accident killed an innocent man in a third vehicle - 62 year-old Walter Oleksinski of Aurora.  At that time, we said:
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a hold [...]


Presidential approval going down, down, down

Like every president, Barack Obama claims of course that he doesn’t pay any attention to public opinion polls.  That is a shame because if he took a look at the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll he might finally wake up and realize Americans really are not liking how he is steering the country. 
According [...]


President Obama pulls the race card in Cambridge arrest

I go on vacation and what do I come back to?  Our president embroiled in a controversy over remarks he made accusing he Cambridge, Massachusetts Police Department of “acting stupidly” in arresting a belligerent black professor while investigating a potential break in.
So many words could be said about this.  It of course goes without saying [...]


Senator Barbara Boxer accused of race politics at committee hearing

Almost one month to the day after insisting a brigadier general call her Senator and not ma’am, California Senator Barbara Boxer once again makes an appearance on Tony’s Rants.  This time the good senator receives a hard slapdown from Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Harry Alford after Boxer displays subtle but definitely palatable racism during [...]


CBO: ‘Federal budget is on an unsustainable path’

Time to wake up and smell the trash, folks!  As the bleeding from job losses and a sinking economy continues, our congress and president are intent on taking us down a path from which we will assuredly get lost if something isn’t done soon.  Emphasizing that point, the director of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office [...]
