Year: 2012

Forget executive privilege, contempt of Congress, “fast and furious,” how many documents the government has produced and who said what to whom on which date. The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on “American Idol.” […]

President Obama recently issued an edict exempting an estimated 800,000 to 1 million illegal aliens from the consequences of federal immigration law. Ostensibly that blanket amnesty applies to those who arrived before the age of 16 and are younger than 30; who are in, or graduated from, high school or have served in the military; […]

Throughout America’s history, there have been people who denied threats from our enemies. During the Revolutionary War, significant numbers sided with the British monarchy. Enablers in politics, the media and even religion helped Communism remain in power for seven decades in the Soviet Union. German Nazis had their U.S. apologists. The presidential election in Egypt, […]

The Supreme Court’s decision announced Monday in the Arizona v. United States case opens the way for sensible reform of our immigration laws. Barack Obama and his administration have taken heart that the court overturned Arizona’s state penalties for illegal immigrants. The idea is that states can’t pile higher penalties on top of those voted […]

Outsourcing has been successfully lowering costs, creating better jobs and spreading wealth since … well, since the Persians hired Greek mercenaries to do their pillaging. So why are we always knocking it? After the nation’s intuitive comprehension of basic economics sank Barack Obama’s inane diatribe against investment banking, the administration has thrown a new ladleful […]

Public Relations: professionals have to saddle a difficult tight walk – Serving clients who pay our bills, and satisfying the media who we usually have to convince to write about our clients. This is a delicate balance, and sometimes PR agencies are hired to keep our clients out of the media or deflect negative stories. Clients’ […]

“In every generation and in every country, I swear unto you, Rosh Betar,: Ze’ev Jabotinsky, to remain loyal to your ideals–the ideals of Betar, to the banner of Betar, and to the name of Betar.” I grew up in the Betar youth movement, and today so many years later it remains such an important of my […]

Attorney General Eric Holder’s people have no shame. After months of stonewalling, misinformation and petulant disregard for the victims of the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, President Obama’s Justice Department is hiding behind the most despicable race-card demagogues on the planet. “Post-racial” America never looked so bitter, clingy and cowardly. At a Tuesday press conference […]

I’m scared. I fear that even if the Supreme Court overrules most of Obamacare (or did already, by the time you read this), Republicans will join Democrats in restoring “good” parts of the law, like the requirement that insurance companies cover kids up to age 26 and every American with a pre-existing condition. Those parts […]

In President Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union address, he said that “higher education can’t be a luxury. It is an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” Such talk makes for political points, but there’s no evidence that a college education is an economic imperative. A good part […]

Particularly if the Supreme Court invalidates the individual mandate at the heart of the Obamacare Law, this president’s tenure is increasingly going to be seen as an unmitigated failure. The economy is in shambles and getting worse. The national debt is bloated. The stimulus didn’t work. His health care reform law, his signature program, may […]

Though the Supreme Court overturned much of the Arizona law, just not the part the liberals and their media friends loathed the most, it wasn’t hard to predict the networks would once again line up with the amnesty lobby. ABC’s Diane Sawyer mourned “the most inflammatory part of the law” was upheld. Once again, those […]

“There is no good government but what is republican,” John Adams wrote. “(T)he very definition of a republic is ‘an empire of laws, and not of men.’” Adams meant that a government in which law is applied at the discretion of powerful people is a bad government. The law must be applied in a straightforward, […]

The recent groundbreaking UJA poll on the Jewish community showed that 74% of all NYC Jewish Children are Orthodox, explosive growth in the Orthodox & Hasidic communities, and a dramatic decline in Jewish observance amongst reform & conservative Jews. Undoubtedly, the Jewish community today is much more conservative on issues – and likely to become […]

As European leaders meet this week in an attempt to once again shoo reality away from the continent’s respirator, countries outside the European Union are making it increasingly clear that they’ll have no role in prolonging the charade. Cyprus has just asked for a bailout from the EU’s ATM, joining Greece, Ireland, Portugal and, most […]
