As someone who attended and wrote about Tea Party protests in 2009 and 2010, it has been surreal to watch folks at CNN and MSNBC twist themselves into knots to defend the recent actions of the left.
I clearly remember Democrats and their media allies using words like “dangerous” and “mob” to...
The Supreme Court, in the case of Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, ruled that a Minnesota law that banned “political badge, political button, or other political insignia” at polling places on Election Day was unconstitutional.
The case was brought by voters who, among other things, wanted to wear a Tea Party Patriots...
This past weekend, I spoke on a panel at an event in Leominster, MA on Trump’s first year in office. It was sponsored by the Worcester Tea Party and moderated by Peter Ingemi of Datechguyblog.
Today, December 16th, is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, a response to a series of tyrannical actions taken by the distant King George III. Although often downplayed as a fevered response to a single piece of legislation, the Tea Act, the Boston Tea Party represented an act of defiance...
By now, most people know the back story.
In the run-up to the 2012 election, Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations were subjected to unnecessary scrutiny and even harassment by the IRS to whom they were applying for non-profit status.
As the GOP-led Congress fails to fulfill its seven-year, oft-repeated pledge to repeal ObamaCare and fails to support meaningful immigration reform that includes securing our border (building the wall), right-leaning voters who put them in power are becoming more and more restless, frustrated, and angry.
Luther Strange’s primary drubbing in Alabama suggests...
The idea that white supremacists are some rising force in America is absurd to normal people, but leftists are taking their fevered imaginings quite seriously. So seriously, in fact, that they are overcoming their distaste for the Second Amendment and are forming their own militia.
There they go again.
Ever since Trump’s victory, Democrats have been fixated on creating their own version of the Tea Party movement.
We covered this development a few days before Trump’s inauguration, Dems want to create leftist version of 2010 Tea Party surge:
It has been almost five years since news broke that officials at the IRS used the power of government to harass members of the Tea Party and other conservative groups.
The media has largely ignored the scandal and so far, no one has gone to jail. Earlier this month, IRS officials claimed...
Last month, I reported that California’s lawmakers had approved a gas tax hike that was supposedly directed to funding the state’s infrastructure repair and maintenance programs.
However, one Republican assemblyman suspects that Californians are unhappy with this particular piece of legislation and would be willing to repeal it if given...
It is astonishing how much is being revealed about the “Deep State” since Donald Trump was inaugurated less than two months ago.
This week, Wikileaks published almost 9,000 documents from the CIA about the agency’s own malware used to hack into anyone’s electronics make it look like the cyber-attack came from Russia.
Now,...
While I’m enjoying the progressive meltdown as much as the next person, it may be time to think about countering the “resistance.” We would do well to think about the impact the pressure from the raging “resistance” is likely to have not on their own party but on Republicans in Congress...
Kimberley Strassel over at the Wall Street Journal has some good advice for the “progressive tea party” “resistance” “movement”: don’t go down the path you’re on because it’s based on a fundamentally flawed understanding of the Tea Party.
The conservative tea-party phenomenon is overall one of the more successful political movements...
I’m not sure whether to be pleased or amused that we were so successful that the progressive left is now trying to recreate and manufacture a progressive version of our truly grassroots Tea Party movement.
One aspect of their inchoate “resist we much” campaign to recreate our powerful movement is the left’s ...
As someone who, both individually and on the website, participated in the Tea Party surge culminating in the retaking of the House in November 2010, I saw first hand how viciously the Tea Party was attacked.
I attended the Tax Day Tea Party rally in Corning, NY, on April 15, 2009, Looking At...
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is currently testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee to avoid impeachment due to allegations he may have destroyed evidence for congressional investigations into the IRS treatment of Tea Party groups. Koskinen stressed that Congress should not impeach him, but did admit mistakes on his...
Every now and then, I like to check on the state of reporting as it relates to the Tea Party…for entertainment purposes. I have decided that if any actual fact is offered in the elite media stories, it is purely coincidental.
Today’s review shows that after over 7 years of independent conservative...
