Dueling bills backed by President Barack Obama, Senator Harry Reid and others would lead to Internet censorship at the whim of the entertainment industry, the government and judges.  To protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA), Tony’s Rants will join thousands of other websites and ‘go dark’ on January 18. [...]

President Barack Obama and the mainstream media like nothing better than to vilify business and dote over the Occupy Wall Street protestors and their attempts to save us from the evils of capitalism.  However, a new poll shows that Americans are far more concerned about their own government than they are business. The poll released [...]

To listen to the mainstream media, one would think there is nothing wrong with our country beyond a little bit of economic turmoil and President Barack Obama is our heroic, untarnished savior.  Of course that couldn’t be further from the truth. Anyone with half a brain that doesn’t work at MSNBC or isn’t named Jonathan [...]

Sometimes the stupidity of our government’s actions just seems beyond belief and here we have yet another example.  A new tax is set to take effect this year imposing a 15 cent premium on each and every Christmas tree sold to make us feel better about the yuletide tradition. Apparently the government is greatly concerned [...]

The Obama Administration’s failure to take responsibility for the death of dozens of people as a result of Operation Fast and Furious was on full display today.  When offered an opportunity to apologize for the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, a victim of the botched operation, Attorney General Eric Holder refused (video below).

Wish as we might have that the snowstorm in Denver that moved through over the last couple of days would have prevented him coming to town, President Obama managed to make it to the Mile High City.  The campaigner-in-chief came bearing gifts in the form of student loan changes that will benefit the average grad [...]

Ford Motor Company was the only one of the ‘big three’ Detroit automakers to not take government bailout funding and a recent television ad touted that noteworthy point.  It appears however that the White House pressured Ford to drop the ad, not approving of its message of self-reliance. One of a series of similar ads [...]

Campaigner-in-Chief President Barack Obama is on a three state swing through the western United States to push his so-called jobs bill.  Unfortunately for him, some of his staffers don’t seem to know the difference between Colorado and Wyoming. The press credentials issued by the White House sure look pretty with an image of the three [...]

President Barack Obama appeared before a joint session of Congress last night to pitch his latest so-called jobs bill saying 17 times ‘pass this bill.’ His American Jobs Act is another $447 billion ‘stimulus’ package that offers nothing new and will fail miserably much as the first one did. Obama’s own Council of Economic Advisors [...]

The nation’s largest veterans organization was dealt a snub from the Commander In Chief himself when he failed to appear at their national convention.  The move marks the first time in 112 years that the president, vice president or a senior cabinet official did not appear before the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Approval of Obama [...]
