Year: 2012

Now that the National Football League has apparently learned that it can be costly to hire cheap officials, perhaps the rest of us should learn the same lesson when it comes to government officials, whose bad calls can do a lot more damage. What do we do when we want a better car, a better […]

It’s time to take stock of where we stand as a nation. The election of 2012 offers us a stark contrast, between candidates who are looking to protect our Second Amendment rights and those who seek to restrict those same freedoms. Over the past month, I’ve been alerting you to some dangers on the horizon. […]

Mitt Romney must use the debates to spotlight President Obama’s disastrous record — with no mercy. Let’s just consider a few major points Romney must make on domestic issues. Obama’s record and his agenda for a second term are a target-rich environment. Unless the majority of voting Americans have decided to embrace Obama’s vision of […]

For at least the last hundred years, the world’s most dynamic religion has been neither Christianity nor Islam. It is leftism. Most people do not recognize what is probably the single most important fact of modern life. One reason is that leftism is overwhelmingly secular (more than merely secular: it is inherently opposed to all […]

Arnold Schwarzenegger comes across a lot better in his memoirs, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story,” than he did during a “60 Minutes” TV interview broadcast Sunday night. His book chronicles all the amazing things he has done. The “60 Minutes” interview shone a light on what the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician should not have done. On […]

Mitt Romney’s main advantage in his first debate with President Obama on Wednesday may be that the president will be speaking without a teleprompter. His second advantage is the president’s record and how he has failed to fulfill many of his promises. While the president will probably recycle his class warfare themes, Romney should focus […]

Bar-Ilan University (BIU) recently bestowed an honorary doctorate upon Cherna Shovers Moskowitz in recognition of her passionate support of the Jewish people, its rich legacy: and homeland.: Bar-Ilan University is the fastest-growing institution of higher education in Israel. Those pursuing their BA, MA and PhD degrees are joined by thousands more who are enrolled in certificate and […]

By John Hawkins RightWingNews.com Normally, I think Republicans tend to be too skeptical of pollsters. Down the stretch in 2008 and 2010, I found most of the polls from reputable pollsters (as opposed to newspapers and colleges) to be on the mark. That hasn’t been the case in this cycle. Once you get past Gallup […]

I’ve got to admit … I’m a wee bit concerned about the upcoming presidential debates. My fear is that Mitt, for whatever reason, will take the McCain fetal position before Obama and not come out swinging for the fence. Mitt ought to do this Wednesday what Babe Ruth did in ‘32 and point to Chicago […]

With the debates starting Wednesday and the conventions in the rear-view mirror, campaign season is upon us. Those of you who live in a swing state are going to see more of President Obama and Mitt Romney on their televisions in the next month than they see in their mirrors during their morning shave. Oh, […]

As a recovering pollster (I worked for Democratic pollster Peter Hart from 1974 to 1981), let me weigh in on the controversy over whether the polls are accurate. Many conservatives are claiming that multiple polls have overly Democratic samples, and some charge that media pollsters are trying to discourage Republican voters. First, some points about […]

Once upon a time the King decided who was subject to royal edicts. We changed that with a revolution that won representative democracy based on the bedrock principle of “consent of the governed”. The “Rule of Law” holds that all citizens are equally subject to laws enacted by representatives of the people. Barack Obama has […]

The University of California has reached a $1 million settlement with UC Davis students who were pepper sprayed at an Occupy-inspired Nov. 18 demonstration to protest rising tuition. UC will pay student plaintiffs $30,000 each, and the American Civil Liberties Union will pocket up to $250,000. Everything that is wrong in California resides in this […]

As I have said often,: Sheldon Adelson: and Dr. Miriam Adelson have unfairly been attacked by the media simply because they stand up for capitalism and their values.: : They are great Americans, amongst the largest philanthropists in the world, and people who should be commended.: : Mrs. Adelson wrote an op-ed for The Daily Caller where she addressed the media […]
