This: sleazy and disgusting lawsuit: is just one more reason we desperately need tort reform in this country to keep parasitic lawyers from playing lawsuit lottery with the lives of innocent people. One of the victims in the James Holmes mass murder spree has lawyered up and plans to file a lawsuit … because he feels the […]

Tom Coburn used to be one of the best Republicans we had in the Senate. Unfortunately, his reputation has started to slip since he voted for TARP and has spent an inordinate amount of time agitating for tax increases. Apparently the fact that most Republicans don’t agree with him must have stuck in his craw […]

Monopolies, whether they’re private or governmental, are not in the best interest of the American public. The same could be said of any company that’s supposedly: “too big to fail”– like: the big banks. Sanford “Sandy” Weill, whose creation of Citigroup Inc. (C) ushered in the era of U.S. banking conglomerates a decade before the financial crisis, […]

I feel awful about what happened in Colorado, but can we stop the hugging and the teddy bears? Just as society can become inured to violence, it can also become inured to sentiment. There is nothing so hackneyed in the world of photojournalism as pictures of the hugging and the shrines with candles and teddy […]

Amid all the stories about the ongoing violence in Syria, the most disturbing is the possibility that Syrian President Bashar Assad could either deploy the arsenal of chemical and biological weapons that his government claims it has, or provide it to terrorists. There are suggestions that at least some of Assad’s supposed stockpile may have […]

Like the ghosts of Shakespeare’s Banquo or Dickens’ Jacob Marley, the specter of the late commie-hunting congressman from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, will always be with us. It is summoned up today, by some on the left, who use it as a tool to thwart legitimate questions about people and ideologies that seek to destroy America. […]

Only a few lonely media outlets responded to the Aurora Mall murders by calling for stricter gun control measures. President Barack Obama and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper made eloquent statements, as did Mitt Romney, but neither the two Democrats nor the Republican called for changes in gun laws. Many conservatives and gun rights advocates took […]

Today the media is yet again attacking billionaire Sheldon Adelson on its front pages; now it is about his effort to target Jewish voters in swing states including: Florida,: Ohio: and: Pennsylvania.:  Such a media infatuation with an established successful, self made man who is doing what any active political advocate does, educates voters to see his point of […]

Honest answer: Slim to none.   Here’s a quote from his aunt:: “He bad. He fight but he don’t fight little babies.: He do also have a problem. He take medicine every day and he just a normal: child.” No, this isn’t a: “normal child”: and he isn’t just teasing the other kids or: playing pranks. This is a nine-year-old who […]

It’s one thing for Hollywood moppets and television Muppets to protest Chick-fil-A over the fast-food chain president’s support for traditional marriage. They’re private citizens and entities. But when an elected public official wields the club of government against a Christian business in the name of “tolerance,” it’s not harmless kid stuff. It’s chilling. This week, […]

Over the past few decades, America has locked up more and more people. Our prison population has tripled. Now we jail a higher percentage of people than even the most repressive countries: China locks up 121 out of every 100,000 people; Russia 511. In America? 730. “Never in the civilized world have so many been […]

Academic intelligentsia, their media, government and corporate enthusiasts worship at the altar of diversity. Despite budget squeezes, universities have created diversity positions, such as director of diversity and inclusion, manager of diversity recruitment, associate dean for diversity, vice president of diversity and perhaps minister of diversity. This is all part of a quest to get […]

If ABC News does fire Brian Ross, he could always find a job working for Aaron Sorkin. Ross, a veteran investigative reporter for ABC News, blew it Friday morning when he suggested that the Aurora, Colo., shooting suspect, James Holmes, might be connected with the Tea Party. “There is a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, […]
