It’s a Thunderous Thursday

And here is The News to start your day

And in case you missed it, here is the news from Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday as well

Smitty has a wonderful piece on the farce known as Sequestrageddon

Robert Stacy McCain proves that the Dems win by any means necessary

The Other McCain also reports that my good friend Tony Katz (who you can also listen to every Saturday at 6 PM Eastern on the home of Dana Loesch, FM NewsTalk 97.1 out of St. Louis) had just offered New Jersey Governor Chris Christie $3000 to come to CPAC for a conversation over a cigar, scotch, coffee, dinner, or anything. Whether Christie accepts remains to be seen. (Tony's tweets can be seen below or at https://twitter.com/tonykatz/status/306264127494569984 and also at https://twitter.com/tonykatz/status/306264609126498304 and https://twitter.com/tonykatz/status/306264393958686722)

I'm not a part of the ACU, but I invite @govchristie to come to #cpac2013 to discuss your views on conservatism, the GOP and Pres. Obama.

— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) February 26, 2013

.@govchristie I'll cover all expenses for you to come down to #cpac2013 to talk about the big issues. You, me, a beer, a cigar, you name it

— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) February 26, 2013

 

.@govchristie This is a real offer. I'll pay for your train ticket, a night at the Gaylord or close hotel. Meals. In exchange for a sit down

— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) February 26, 2013

h/t to Becca Lower of Lowering The Boom for some wonderful entries. Among them this little bit about Bob Woodward speaking to a College Journalist

h/t to Diane Sori of The Patriot Factor for her Op-ed today entitled America's very own 'Axis of Evil'

h/t to Craig Andresen of The National Patriot for his piece entitled Godfather Politics and the Obama Mafia

As of yesterday’s posting in Hogewash, W.J.J. Hoge says that Hugo Chavez is still vertical

Speaking of Mr. Hoge, my thoughts are with him as he heads to court for a Temporary Peace Order hearing today. All hopes are for some good news. Keep an eye to his blog and Twitter for some news coming up about midday.

h/t to Sarah Rumpf of Sunshine State Sarah for her piece on Marco Rubio owning the cultural narrative

Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter invited Glenn Beck to WWE RAW this past Monday in Dallas so he can address the WWE Universe about his comments about WWE. Beck did not show up, but there is a video and article of the WWE trying to get a comment from Beck.

Though Glenn Beck did not show up, there was a surprise appearance from Triple H. What did he do? Check out the results.

The Road to WrestleMania is shaping up to be phenomenal. The list of matches is slated to be one of the best in ages in my opinion. With 38 more days until WrestleMania, there will be more matches announced.

Even the WWE Hall of Fame (held in Madison Square Garden the night before WrestleMania) is shaping up to be wonderful. A huge congratulations to Donald Trump for being the latest inductee to the celebrity wing.

 

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s death. There will be two special tributes (so far) to him on Own The Narrative. The first one will be tonight at 11 PM Eastern (tentative) on TB-TV and another one on Saturday at 1:30 PM Eastern on Red, Right, and Blue.

Speaking of Red, Right, and Blue, I am going to go over one of the rules in Andrew’s Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Revolutionaries (taken right from his book Righteous Indignation) every week for the next 3 months. Most will be in my editorial but one will be an entire show. Stay tuned to my Red, Right, and Blue Blog as well as my Conservative Blog and this rant blog for more information.

And that’s all the news that is news for now. My project is slowly coming along, but I might need a little assistance from anyone in the blogosphere or who have or manage websites. Please email me at rickbulow74@live.com, send me a Twitter (@RickBulow1974) DM, or send me a private message on Facebook or on my Message Board and I will reply with an explanation.

It’s a Wild Wednesday

And here is The News to keep you up to date

Also, check out The Layfield Report, Drudge, and InstaPundit for more news

And ICYMI, here is yesterday's news

It seems the #BrettKimberlin issue just will not go away. His cronies are continuing their onslaught against bloggers who are on a relentless pursuit and exposing the truth. Here are the following from The Other McCain, but first, my reaction to Brett Kimberlin and his associates by way of a pic:

• Kooky Tuesday Continues: Is Social Media Breeding Monsters? Oh, Hell, Yes!
• ‘Beware the Ides of March’: Bill Schmalfeldt Threatens Lee Stranahan?
• Connecting the Dots, Telling the Story
• ‘A Particularly Odd Argument’ by the Particularly Odd Bill Schmalfeldt

And of course, my response to Brett Kimberlin and his associates by way of a video:

And of course, Robert Stacy McCain is exposing the fraud that is Barrett Brown as well. Case in point: ‘The Kook Who Knew Too Much’: Heroic Fantasy, Paranoia and Barrett Brown

h/t to Craig Andresen of The National Patriot for his piece entitled Sequester – The DICTATOR’S Stupid Idea

h/t to Diane Sori of The Patriot Factor for her op-ed entitled Neither gun control or banning high-capacity magazines will accomplish anything

And for those of you interested, Hogewash still reports that Lt. Col. Hugo Chavez is still vertical

The Road to WrestleMania continued this past weekend with the Elimination Chamber. There was a very intriguing stipulation in the WWE Championship match. Here are the results for both the Elimination Chamber and Monday Night RAW the night after.

There is a major kerfuffle surrounding the storyline for the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania involving Champion Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger.  I will get into this in another rant, but here are the headlines from Twitchy and Breitbart as well as Pro Wrestling Torch so you can have the backstory:

• WWE’s racist Tea Party villain as realistic as pro wrestling
•  WWE Creates Racist Tea Party Character
• WWE NEWS: Target of Jack Swagger's new heel persona responds to WWE, accuses WWE of "playing the race card"

And speaking of the Road to WrestleMania, next year the road will end in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. (Ed. Note: if the power goes out during WrestleMania, there is an 80% chance that it will be scripted, quite unlike the power failure during the Super Bowl this year)

And that is all the news that is news. Be sure to check out and like my Rick Bulow, New Media Facebook page as well as my Twitter account (@RickBulow1974) for more news throughout the day.

And in case you missed it, here is news from Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday from The Other McCain

Robert Stacy McCain is an in-depth reporter. Don’t believe me? He is the only one this week to pull the curtain from around the Obama spin machine to reveal that it is nothing but a bucket of bolts

One thing I like about Robert Stacy McCain, Smitty, Wombat, and The Other McCain is that they bring you the news that the others refuse to touch. Here are a couple other examples:

• They Buried Jennifer Morbelli Today (a series which includes the following stories)
  • Why Does @BridgetteDunlap Want to Suppress the Truth About Abortion?
  • Maryland Attorney General Investigates Abortionist Linked in Woman’s Death
  • Media Embargo Slowly Crumbling on Jennifer McKenna Morbelli’s Death

  • Finally: Washington Post Covers Death of Woman at Maryland Abortion Clinic
  • Doctor Death: 29-Year-Old Patient Dies After Late-Term Abortion in Maryland UPDATE: Complete Media Blackout by Feminists, Major News Organizations

• One of First Mate #NealRauhauser’s Alter Egos?
• Team Kimberlin—Yet More Review
• Team Kimberlin—More Review

Another good thing about Mr. Hoge I like is that he always has a report on Chavez (aka Obama Lite) on his deathbed. So far, as of this writing, Hugo Chavez is still vertical

h/t to Jackie Wellfonder of Raging Against The Rhetoric for her piece on Watchdog Wire launching a Maryland site

And do not forget to catch Red, Right, and Blue this Saturday at 1:30 PM Eastern as I will be talking with Gerald Harrison of The Watchman’s Corner on how politics and religion go hand in hand.

And also do not forget to check out my Conservative Blog where I am starting a series on how the war now is not Conservatism vs. Liberalism but rather Alinsky vs. Breitbart.

73rd Rant: Obama’s Second Inauguration and America’s Future

Well, the unthinkable which we had failed to prevent on November 6, 2012, had officially happened this past Sunday. We have 4 more years of Barack Obama. I say officially on Sunday because according to the Constitution January 20 is the official day when the President and Vice President begin their term, with the public inauguration occurring on Monday, January 21.  We already know what plans Obama has for the second term, and that which I had long feared might just occur in his second term, that in turning the Republic which the Founding Fathers had fought and died to create into an Empire like that of Soviet Russia a century ago or (even worse) like that which we had seen come about in Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Granted, the latter is just a movie, but it is still powerful nevertheless.

If you had not seen that movie, there is a very interesting clip which has been removed on YouTube where Chancellor Palpatine was speaking to the Senate and spoke of the Jedi attack on him, thus leaving him scarred and deformed. However, he said his resolve had never been stronger and that ” in order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire...for a safe and secure society!” The reply from Senator Padme Amidala is rather alarming, and possibly serves as a warning for us today: “So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause.”  Is there any way to prevent this from happening in our world today?

Fortunately, there might be a way. AJ Reissig has written a book entitled Escape to Freedom: Book One in the FreedomRedux Series. AJ lives in New Richmond, Ohio with his lovely wife Christina and children. Born in 1973, he grew up in the small river town of Moscow, Ohio. He is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a background in chemistry. After spending several years as an analyst in manufacturing, he began to pursue writing as a part-time freelancer. His hobbies include gardening, woodworking, home improvement, and anything outdoors.
AJ has long followed politics. Over the years, AJ has become increasingly disturbed by the trend toward big government in the United States. His novel series, FreedomRedux, revolves around a United States of the future that is governed by a totalitarian regime that is bent on world domination, and those who wish to restore the United States to the nation that the founding fathers intended. In 2011, he started the political blog FreedomRedux to express his libertarian political beliefs. In 2012, he founded Freedom Notes Press, LLC to publish political novels.
