I watched President Obama’s remarks on poverty at Georgetown University, and several things stood out to me, apart from his umpteenth swipe at Fox News. Obama sometimes makes statements that sound reasonable and moderate, but he either doesn’t believe the things he’s saying or has an ideological blind spot about what they really mean. But […]

Three more Republicans declare their intention to be presidential nominees, and the leftist media, as if on cue, pounce on their prey like panthers. When venerated neurosurgeon Ben Carson announced his intentions, Washington Post reporter Robert Samuels leaped into action, under a headline reading in part, “Many blacks see a hero’s legacy fade.” So what […]

There was a time when Hillary Clinton was a bona fide leftist radical, but those days have past, swallowed up by her lust for power and money. Don’t get me wrong; she’s still a true liberal who stands for everything I oppose, and her White House ambitions and her flawed character are a dangerous mixture. […]

I don’t get depressed too often, but I feel the blues coming on. Many moons ago, if memory serves, I tweeted my skepticism that Hillary Clinton would even get the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, much less win the general election. I’m afraid I probably was right about her not getting the nomination, but I’m concerned […]

We live in a constitutional republic in which our elected officials are bound by the constraints of the Constitution, which means they don’t have a license to do whatever they please, even if they think it would be best for the country. That President Barack Obama so flagrantly violates this enshrined legal principle and much […]

Please forgive me, but I’m singularly unimpressed with Hillary Clinton in general, but especially as a Democratic presidential candidate. I’m neither smug nor complacent about the likelihood of defeating her, but I am incautiously optimistic. I hope I’m not wrong; the country can’t take four more years of the same disastrous policies. Frankly, I’m a […]

At this point, I am mighty bullish on Sen. Ted Cruz but I very much like several other possible GOP presidential contenders, and I have to say that Republicans can learn a valuable lesson from Sen. Rand Paul’s recent handling of the ambush media. Often when Republicans are ambushed, they fumble around, grow defensive and […]

Far too many people have become unacceptably cynical about the issue of integrity in politics, and it is having disastrous consequences. Only the scofflaws and reprobates benefit from such an unraveling of our ethical sensitivities. I’m sure you won’t be surprised to find that I believe this phenomenon is occurring largely on the political left […]

One may reasonably wonder whether the militant left in this country is solely dedicated to manufacturing issues to keep the nation in a constant state of uproar, angst and disharmony. We’re seeing lots of negativity and intolerance from those so concerned that we all love one another. Their most recent cause for hysterical urgency is […]

If Hillary Clinton survives her myriad real scandals and becomes the Democratic presidential candidate for 2016, are we going to be bludgeoned with sexism the same way Barack Obama’s supporters have exploited “racism”? If recent rumblings from Clinton supporters are any indication, I’m afraid this could be the case. New York Times reporter Amy Chozick […]

The ambush-prone mainstream media (MSM) has difficulty trapping Sen. Ted Cruz, not just because he is mentally agile and verbally adroit. He has truth and authenticity on his side, and it is much harder to trip up someone of that description. Media watchdog Newsbusters shares a litany of examples of MSM hosts doing their best […]

Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential announcement was immensely gratifying in numerous ways, including the venue he chose for it. He made his announcement at Liberty University, which is a conspicuously Christian institution located in Virginia, the veritable birthplace of the United States of America. In the world of political commentary today, we usually see analysis focusing […]

Why is The New York Times lamenting the souring of the personal relationship between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instead of assuming Obama will subordinate his personal feelings to America’s national interest? Well, probably because they know he won’t. He’s a man scorned — and he’s getting more and more dangerous. Scorned? […]

Some wonder why conservatives get the impression that many leftists are not patriotic. Well, how about their belief that the ideas of nationalism and patriotism are noxious? We told you! As you’ve probably heard by now, Associated Students of the University of California, Irvine voted to ban the American flag from an “inclusive” space on […]

I don’t know which is more maddening, President Obama’s repeatedly claiming he finds out about important matters only after reading the newspapers, his expectation that we’ll swallow that, the even scarier prospect that it could be true, or that the media continue to give him a pass on it. Obama told CBS News senior White […]

One of the many reasons constitutional conservatives consider President Obama a threat to the Constitution is his disdain for the separation of powers, illustrated most recently in his plan to bypass the Senate in making an arms deal with Iran. The Framers understood that throughout history, the real threat to God-given liberty had been centralized, […]

The Obama White House is in full war mode against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of our best ally in the Middle East, for accepting House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to speak before Congress, while it mollycoddles that region’s most dangerous nation, Iran. No one crosses Obama without facing his wrath. No one dares. […]

Honestly, are any of my Democratic friends even slightly bothered by President Obama’s habitual and brazen lawlessness and what that could mean for our liberties? Does it bother them that he implemented two new administration programs to halt deportations and allow work permits for up to 5 million immigrants living illegally in the United States […]

I’m not sure which is more absurd, for the media to be up in arms about former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s statement that he doesn’t believe that President Obama loves America or for them to mug Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for declining to weigh in on the subject. Many of us have been speculating […]

President Obama seems more interested in defending the religion of Islam than in defending the United States against the threat of Islamic jihad, but Islam isn’t under attack; we are. Obama has created a straw man — or fattened one up that others created. The United States isn’t at war with Islam — or even […]

I am not surprised that President Obama lied to the nation in 2008 when he told us he opposed same-sex marriage, but I confess that I didn’t expect his insiders to be so brazen as to come right out and admit it. How could I be surprised about Obama’s lie? He has lied about so […]

Frank Turek’s new book is a brilliant and unique contribution to Christian apologetics. “Stealing From God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case” is thoughtful and provocative yet a very quick read. I have read many books on Christian apologetics but nothing quite like this book. Not only is much of the content different […]

Kudos to Congress for inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at a joint session on the issue of imposing tough sanctions on Iran and to Netanyahu for accepting. President Obama has continually snubbed Israel and Netanyahu — whom he refuses to meet with in March, allegedly because he doesn’t want to interfere with […]

It was an otherworldly experience to watch President Obama delivering his State of the Union speech. Even after watching him for seven years, I can’t decide who the primary victim of his deceit is, him or us. Is it even possible for this guy to extricate himself from campaign mode? Is there ever a time […]

If we can’t have a wholly unified Republican Party, can the GOP at least agree on some major issues that are essential to the Republican brand and, more importantly, help to get this country back on the right track? If we can’t come together on some of the basic issues that have always defined us, […]

I am guessing you don’t know one of the major things President Obama was doing while snubbing France and world leaders who convened in Paris to express solidarity in the civilized world’s war against radical Islamic terrorism. I assure you it was something close to his heart — as opposed to fighting Islamic jihad. It […]
