Any time some Republican proposes a minor, yet perfectly reasonable, restriction on welfare benefits, the left responds with hysterical screams about starving children and people “dying in the streets.” This rhetoric has always been drama-queen baloney. (For starters, statistics show that, far from “starving,” people get fatter as they spend more time on food stamps.) […]

It’s time for another update on outlandishly stupid Common Core nonsense! A fourth-grade worksheet asks kids to describe adultery. Some people figured this one had: to be a hoax. Sadly, it’s not. The text of the question: Ruby sat on the bed she shared with her husband holding a hairclip. There was something mysterious and powerful […]

Last week, we learned from liberals that the border fence is a form of “discrimination” against “minority communities.” This week, we’re hearing that Obamacare navigators have a “responsibility” to enroll Mexicans in our health care system. Health Care insurance navigator groups hosted an Obamacare enrollment fair on Tuesday at the Mexican Consulate office in Brownsville, […]

An Oklahoma couple is in jail after a social worker found the woman’s son locked in a dog cage. The woman, Suzanne Satterfield, and her boyfriend, Jonathan Wade Lee, used padlocks and handcuffs to hold the boy captive as a punishment, sometimes for 14 hours a day. Is anyone out there shocked to hear the […]

Sen. James Inhofe says that if the GOP takes back the Senate in 2014, Obama could be impeached. Inhofe said the impeachment would happen over Benghazi, which he called “the greatest cover-up in American history.” Appearing on “The Rusty Humphries Show” Thursday, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said, “Of all the […]

Left-wing academics are some of the most overpaid, arrogant, coddled people outside of Hollywood. How else do you explain the mindset of someone like UC Santa Barbara professor Mirielle Miller-Young, who’s now facing criminal charges for her attack on a pro-life teenager? The professor allegedly sneered “you can’t do anything about it” after the attack. […]

Egads, what’s going on in the green room at MSNBC? Twitter recently went nuts over MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski’s Barbie-pink lipstick. Actually, that shade might be a little too bold for Barbie. Sample Tweets: “Looks like a Pepto-Bismol addict” “@Morning_Joe@morningmika Your lipstick is playing havoc with my rods and cones.” “please dont wear that lipstick […]

Uh-oh! It looks like the Westin Beijing Chaoyang can’t wait to get rid of the Obama women and their entourage. The women, who are on a three-city tour of China, have reportedly been quite the primadonnas. A “well-placed” staffer at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel told the Daily Mail that the Obama women have inconvenienced […]

In case you had any doubts that the:  mission of many schools is indoctrination, not education, get this: “social justice” propaganda is now seeping into math class. Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, explicitly stated that the math curriculum should be politicized and recruit children for “community organizing.”   Appearing in early March […]

David Renz, who was facing child pornography charges when he raped a 10-year-old and stabbed her mother, has been sentenced to 30 years behind bars. I know what you’re probably thinking: “That’s it?” It seems like this crime warrants a life sentence, if not death. Renz pleaded guilty to the murder and rape charges last […]

Political correctness in America has officially reached farcical levels. This story would be funny if it didn’t have real, disastrous implications. An Obama judge says a border fence would discriminate against minorities. : Apparently, trying to stop illegals from crossing the border (and committing violence and property damage on the way, which is increasingly common) is […]

Since when does child molestation warrant a slap on the wrist? 21-year-old Loren Morris got a 2-year sentence for molesting an 8-year-old boy, and you have to wonder if her gender had something to do with it. The judge let her off easy because she “realized it was wrong.” I wonder how many other criminals […]

An investigative piece: by an NBC station in southwest: Florida shows that illegal immigrants vote regularly. I doubt this will capture the attention of the Obama administration, which is clearly more interested in the non-existent problem of “vote suppression.” The reporter spent about two months digging around the voter rolls in the two counties and the discoveries […]

I know comedians joke about how parenting should require a license, but then you see a story like this and it doesn’t seem like a bad idea–or so funny. A teen father has been arrested for biting off an infant’s nose. The baby also had a skull fracture and brain bleeding. Fairfield police say 18-year-old […]

Sick. Iraq is considering legislation to allow men to marry prepubescent girls. They’re also debating a law requiring women to submit to sex with their husbands. The controversial proposals have provoked outrage from activists both within Iraq and around the globe, who see it as a huge step backwards for women’s rights. The measure, aimed […]

This: story is quite the turnaround from the usual nonsense on college campuses. A professor at Cameron University might lose his job for accusing colleagues of racism. The unsurprising part is that the tenured music professor, Alfred Duckett, is blaming all of his professional problems on “racism.” By all accounts, what little interaction Duckett had with […]

America has around 55,000 power plants–but terrorists would have to target only 9 to create nationwide havoc, such: a blackout that could last over a year. This finding by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was recently published in the Wall Street Journal. Federal regulators are calling for tighter security. ‘Destroy nine interconnection substations and:  a transformer […]

Liberals–including Obama–often: openly admit: they want to “reshape” America into a completely different society, but never name any specific countries they’d use as a model. I find it most helpful to look at: Western and Northern: Europe for a glimpse at what they have in mind.: A core value? Censorship and speech policing. Belgium just passed a law banning “sexist” […]

How’s this for a display of overtly dictator-ish behavior? Obama has threatened to veto a bill that would curb abuse of presidential power. He’s determined to enforce legislation like Obamacare his way, and ignore laws he doesn’t like. The lead sponsor of the measure, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said it was designed to curb Obama’s […]

Two Maryland girls, 15 and 17 years old, are accused of torturing a 16-year-old autistic boy, stabbing him and forcing him to perform sex acts on animals. They videotaped the “campaign of harassment” on their cell phones. The local sheriff says it’s the most disturbing case of his career. He says that several times between […]

There are some headlines that make you say, “Wait, is this The Onion?” and double-check the URL to make sure you’re not being punked. Sadly, it’s true: a community college in Washington state banned whites from an “anti-racist” event. In the warped minds of left-wing academics, there’s nothing contradictory about this. A group called “The […]

A Montana couple whose son was born with meth and marijuana in his system are now accused of letting their older child, 2, smoke pot. Lucas Keith Wilson and Camilla Rose Samuels are charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The investigation began when Samuels’ mother found a video of the toddler smoking a […]

Apparently, the Oscars is a sort of affirmative-action program these days, bestowing awards on actors and films that the Academy members think need a boost. Two Academy Members admit to not even watching “12 Years a Slave” before voting for it for Best Picture. What’s the point of hosting an awards show for acting and […]

Gov. Nikki Haley’s administration is exploring the possibility of requiring food stamp recipients to look for a job, if they don’t have one already.   The South Carolina Department of Social Services cited health concerns, like the fact that the longer people are on food stamps, the fatter they get. The S.C. Department of Social […]

This is precisely why kids don’t (or at least, shouldn’t) have any “right to privacy.” An Ohio father tracked down a Facebook predator after his 11-year-old daughter disappeared with him. In a shocking turn of events, the kidnapper is a convicted sex offender. Though the report isn’t clear on how he tracked down Sims, the […]

Here’s yet another Obama gaffe ignored by the mainstream media and late-night comics. On Thursday night, Obama paid tribute to soul legend Aretha Franklin…but misspelled “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.” At least the audience thought it was funny. In addressing the crowd, Mr. Obama said, “When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her…” He was interrupted by […]

The New York police have released a surveillance video of another “knockout game” attack. (You know, the game liberals told us doesn’t exist.) This time, the victim is 23-year-old Kyle Rogers, who suffered a broken jaw. Rogers calls it a “coward move.” Rogers had just left his friends at a bar on Spring Street and […]

This is what justice looks like! Back in 2000, Frank K.C. Hertel and his wife fled Arizona for Europe before he could be tried for raping his daughter. After years of evading justice, he’s now been sentenced to 95 years in prison. Hertel lived a secret life until 2009–when the daughter, Heather Orr, tracked him […]

This speaks volumes about how Democrats view the role of government.:  Senator Dick Durbin wants the Esquire Network’s reality show, “Friday Night Tykes,” off the air, citing concerns about “violent competitiveness” and “head injuries.” Talk about cradle-to-grave nannyism. “I call on you to immediately end this shameful, dangerous display on your network” the Illinois Democrat […]
