Posted on by Ashley Herzog

Proponents of socialized medicine are always quick to point out: acts of malice, greed, and dishonesty perpetrated by the for-profit health industry, implying that a government-run system wouldn’t have these problems.

Child Abuse? Parents Start Hormone Treatment For Their 9-Year-Old “Transgender” Boy…

Posted on by Dustin Siggins

This is awful — and the parents are going right along with it. The blogger at the link nails the situation: This is not parental love. This is misguided, tragic indulgence.

NBC’s Saturday Today Show DID NOT Report About Select Committee To Investigate Benghazi Terrorist Attacks at 7 and 8 AM

Posted on by Samuel Gonzalez

NBC apparently didn’t see the appointment of a select committee to investigate Benghazi as a top story to report this morning.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton would not have been able to get away with […]

Despite a Partial Pivot in Asia, Obama Foreign Policy Still in Disarray

Posted on by Michael Barone

  For a president who hasn’t enjoyed many foreign policy successes lately, Barack Obama did pretty well on his just completed trip to Asia.   In Japan, he reiterated in no uncertain terms the American defense commitment, including on the Senkaku islands in the East China Sea, which China also claims and calls the Diaoyus.

FCC Cronyism Stiffs Taxpayers and Destroys Jobs

Posted on by Phil Kerpen

While the national media is mostly focused on the Federal Communications Commission’s latest net neutrality follies (still a regulatory solution in search of a problem), the far bigger policy challenge the Commission faces is executing the most complex spectrum auction in the agency’s history.

At the risk of sounding like a liberal, I generally agree with claims that “internships” are a sneaky way to extract unpaid labor from struggling young people. But it turns out most liberals are hypocrites on the issue after all. Although Obama has tried to shame Republicans who oppose a minimum wage hike to $10.10 […]

Since Home Depot threw itself whole-heartedly behind the gay agenda, repeatedly promoting it to children, I have come to think of Lowe’s as the conservative home improvement store.
