Year: 2013

On September 11, 2001, I wrote a column entitled “Now We Know How Israel Feels.” Now, 12 years later, with a community organizer in the White House who has no idea about the proper use of America’s military might, who believes our only real ally in the Middle East, Israel, is the cause of all […]

I became upset when I got word. Jeep, reports Automotive News, is shifting its focus away from hearty off-road 4X4’s to, mostly, dinky little two-wheel-drive cars that ride smoothly on paved roads – the kind of cars Europeans like to drive. This is what happens when an iconic American brand is sold to a European […]

My fellow Americans, I’ll be honest. I screwed up. Again. But we may have lucked out this time. Foreign policy is not my strength. That “reset button” with the Russians was amateurish and they’ve used it against us time and time again. I shouldn’t have said the Polish people gassed Jews. I shouldn’t have used […]

In 2012, the federal government paid some $5 billion in direct payments to farmers of wheat, corn, barley, oats, cotton, rice, soybeans, peanuts and other crops — except the recipients cannot all be farmers. According to the Environmental Working Group, 116 of those tillers of the earth reside in San Francisco. For their farming activities, […]

Did you see the hopeful breaking news about Syria? “Russia takes control of Syrian chemical weapons.” That was the headline I saw on the Daily Kos website. The story quoted Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, announcing that Syria’s chemical weapons, which had been consolidated in one or two locations to allay fears that they might […]

Here’s how the Obama folks have been starting to spin Syria. The president made a credible threat to use military force in Syria. At the same time, he worked behind the scenes to get Russia’s Vladimir Putin to push Bashir al-Assad to give up chemical weapons. These two seemingly discordant initiatives, brilliantly coordinated, combined to […]

When Secretary of State John Kerry, apparently irritated by a lack of sleep, gave a snippy and what he thought was an unrealistic reply to a reporter’s question at a London press conference last weekend, he hardly could have imagined the world’s response. Asked whether there is anything Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could do at […]

COLORADO SPRINGS — Quick, call the CDC. We’ve got a Rocky Mountain outbreak of Acute Sore Loser Fever. After failing to stave off two historic recall bids on Tuesday, two delusional state legislators and their national party bosses just can’t help but double-down and trash voters as dumb, sick, criminal and profligate. The ululations of […]

In Washington, D.C., the city’s department of health wants to subject people seeking a tattoo or body piercing to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before they can go through with it. That’s just one of the regulations in a 66-page proposal of new rules for the tattoo and piercing industry. Reasonable people may differ on […]

You may say that there is no discrimination against Christians in America or casually dismiss it because Christians need no protection here because this is allegedly a Christian nation. But there is plenty of such discrimination, as I documented in my book “Persecution” a few years back. During the publicity tour for the book, I […]
