Year: 2012

A month ago, I presented the case for why Fed Chairman Bernanke would have strong motivation to launch another round of quantitative easing (QE) before the election. In short, it would save him his job. Now, I didn’t predict with certainty that he would do so – only the few men at the FOMC knew […]

If you are sick and tired of seeing politicians and others playing the race card, or if you are just disgusted with the grossly dishonest way racial issues in general are portrayed, then you should get a copy of Ann Coulter’s new book, “Mugged.” Its subtitle is: “Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama.” Few […]

“Now Gov. Romney believes that with even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and fewer regulations on Wall Street, all of us will prosper. In other words, he’d double down on the same trickle-down policies that led to the crisis in the first place.” — President Obama in an ad released Sept. 27. This is […]

According to: Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law & Justice,: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been a concern for many years — a long-standing Holocaust denier who has called Israel a “fake regime” that “must be wiped off the map.” And now, the fact that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons simply […]

Regrettably, Robert Samuelson, who’s a brilliant economist, may be: on to something here. What we are witnessing in Europe – and what may loom for the United States – is the exhaustion of the modern social order. Since the early 1800s, industrial societies rested on a marriage of economic growth and political stability. Economic progress improved […]

Yeah,: maybe. At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products. Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court […]

Non-Americans can’t legally donate to an American presidential campaign. In fact, there’s a system put in place to prevent it. So, how can Barack Obama’s campaign soak in the donations from all of his foreign fans? By disabling the system intended to prevent fraud – and that’s what it’s done. Just like it did in […]

When President Barack Obama and others on the left are not busy admonishing the rest of us to be “civil” in our discussions of political issues, they are busy letting loose insults, accusations and smears against those who dare to disagree with them. Like so many people who have been beaten in a verbal encounter, […]

The third definition of “patriot” in the Oxford English Dictionary is “A person actively opposing enemy forces occupying his or her country; a member of a resistance movement, a freedom fighter. Originally used of those who opposed and fought the British in the American War of Independence.” The term first was used in the U.S. […]

Understanding why Mitt Romney so decisively won the first presidential debate is as important as the fact that he did. Why? Because once we know the reasons, almost everything about President Barack Obama and this election becomes clear. First, Obama lost because he, like virtually the entire left, lives in a left-wing bubble. Left-wing academics […]

To the millions of Americans unable to find work, to college graduates who can’t get a job and are living with their parents, to the underemployed who are working at jobs far below their skill set and experience, and to those who have given up looking for work altogether, a 7.8 percent unemployment rate is […]

Owning a: PR agency, I am well aware of the impact that media has on public opinion.: : : Too often liberal media is biased against Israel. In the United Kingdom, a non-governmental organization the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) can force media organizations to run corrections. They “administer the system of self-regulation for the press. It does so primarily […]

Many Americans already know Obama tossed: 25 billion dollars: in taxpayer money down a rathole to bail out GM and Chevrolet. That was a bad idea. If the choice had actually been between letting both companies go out of business and losing 25 billion dollars of taxpayer money, we’d have been better off letting both companies get […]

Last week I sent Mitt a note encouraging him not to morph into a McCain-like wuss during the debate. I think he got my email because he Buford Pussered Obama. It was embarrassing. The president looked defeated–head down, busted. The greatest joy I had the night of the debate didn’t come from watching the erudite […]
