“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the: baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” — Adam Smith In a prosperous country like America, you shouldn’t see any long term shortages: of a product. You might not be able to afford a product or it […]

The Obama administration’s loathsome cowboy, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, won’t take no for an answer. He’s been smacked down repeatedly by federal courts for imposing a draconian, junk science-based moratorium on the oil and gas industry. Yet, the job-killing zealot and his boss just introduced another ruinous offshore drilling ban two weeks ago. The White […]

Those of us who believe the United States would be best served by pulling out of the United Nations and starting up a more morally and politically serious clubhouse for morally and politically serious nations are often accused of tilting at windmills. The phrase “tilting at windmills” was inspired by Cervantes’ novel “Don Quixote,” and […]

So what about the GOP House vote to repeal that legislative monstrosity that masquerades under the misleading title of “Affordable Care Act”? Was the vote more than symbolic? Will the vote have any impact on the presidential and congressional races? What about the GOP proposals to replace Obamacare? A host presented those three questions, and […]

There are plenty of reasons that the economy is the most important issue of Election 2012. Unemployment has remained high for a long time, and even 27 percent of those who have a job are worried about losing it. Only half of homeowners now believe their home is worth more than what they still owe […]

Liberals have been trying to bind America with the Law of Sea Treaty since Reagan was in office, and conservatives who care about our country’s sovereignty have been fighting it the whole time. In all fairness, the treaty has been improved over time. This is why you’ve seen the National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber […]

Know what’s so great about the excerpts flaying Obama that you’re about to read? It’s that they’re coming from: R. Donahue Peebles, an Obama fundraiser who’s on track to raise between: “$100K and $200K”: for Obama’s reelection. “What I get concerned about is the message from the Obama campaign that we only want someone who has not been […]

Is there a “fairness” factory somewhere out in Middle America producing self-sustaining jobs? If not, President Barack Obama’s obsession with ending Bush-era tax cuts makes no sense as either policy or politics. To begin with, Obama — and nearly all media coverage of the decade-old tax cuts — continues to discuss the “cost” of tax […]

We are witnessing a seismic shift in global affairs. The shake-up is a perfect storm of political, demographic and technological change that will soon make the world as we have known it for the last 30 years almost unrecognizable. Since the mid-1980s there have been a number of accepted global constants. The European Union was […]

NAACP members booed Mitt Romney when he spoke at the group’s annual convention in Houston on Wednesday. The audience heckled the former Massachusetts governor three times, once after he promised to repeal Obamacare if elected. It’s also true that the audience cheered Romney repeatedly, if not wildly. Why did he bother to attend? Barack Obama […]

In order to get the correct answer to anything, one must ask the right question. That is what former ABC News and current Fox News TV host John Stossel does on his weekly program. If ever there was “must see-TV,” this is it. Stossel’s show on Saturday, June 30 was a classic. It was called […]

This week, the city of San Bernardino, Calif., went bankrupt. It followed hot on the heels of Vallejo and Stockton, Calif. And they’ll be followed, no doubt, by Los Angeles — and then, shortly after that, by California. Let’s take a look at the numbers. San Bernardino has an annual budget of $258 million; it […]

In mid-March, I wrote an article entitled “Peter Beinart: Represents Zionism Like a Black KKK Member Represents African-Americans” — and sure enough today it’s widely accepted that Peter Beinart is well outside the consensus of the Jewish community. Why does: any synagogue or Jewish organization allow this dangerous man to speak ? This shameful man shouldn’t be […]
