There are some very stupid ideas emanating from powerful people and political wannabes. From the powerful, President Obama wants to put welfare housing in wealthy neighborhoods as a tactic to “end poverty.” He obviously wants to emulate the societal “success” of forced busing. Let’s apply common sense to the President’s plan. Obama wants to diversify […]

Chris Christie is dopey on marijuana. No, he’s not a pothead. He’s either ignorant or pandering fear about cannabis for votes. Christie’s against states’ rights, vowing to use the power of the federal government to override and crush the rights of the states to establish their own laws on marijuana prohibition. Vowing to use the […]

Before defending Abercrombie & Fitch, please know I regard the company as a bottom-feeding, scum-sucking retailer of sex to impressionable prepubescent girls. They have as much a right to exist as people have the right to ban their children from entering their gates of sordid gluttony. That said, this lawsuit against Abercrombie & Fitch is […]

Democrats are now yelling, “Me, too!” at the national press. Newt Gingrich basked in the glory of delighting millions of conservatives and moderate Republicans by taking philandering CNN debate moderator John King to task for airing Newt’s familial foibles in the very first salvo of Mr. King’s left-wing verbal volleys. “Your ex-wife gave an interview […]

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave an impressive performance this week, glorifying the unconstitutional NSA program collecting and recording every American’s digital communication. Standing in front of flowing waters at the Portsmouth, N.H. shipyard, Christie strongly delivered a litany of lies: Christie: “The vast majority of Americans are not worried about the government listening in […]

President Obama is “personally” offended his own party refuses to allow him to “fast track” the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement. Considering the details are hidden from everyone except select international insiders negotiating the fate of American workers, the American public should be “personally” offended by Obama and the Republicans willing to go […]

Carly Fiorina may be the most important presidential candidate who will not win the nomination. Hillary Clinton’s supportive national media is prepared to deflect serious criticism of her pay-to-play foreign policy scheme, Benghazi gun-running and sordid past offenses as mere chauvinism. Carly Fiorina takes that away from them, so they’ll have to “protect” their candidate […]

Jeb Bush has a new immature insult for parents, university professors and teachers who recognize Common Core standards are a hindrance to your children’s education: “You believe in unicorns.” Yes, Jeb Bush is resorting to liberal-style name-calling of those whose intellectual and professional research and experience of Common Core reveal a failed top-down design. “Unicorns […]

It’s amazing how Hillary Clinton can stimulate the U.S. economy simply by announcing her candidacy for president. Dozens of anti-Hillary bumper stickers are already being sold online. “Save the Nation. Stop Hillary,” “Monica Lewinski’s ex-Boyfriend’s Wife for President,” “Ready for Hillary to Explain Benghazi,” “What Did Americans Do to Deserve Hillary?”, “I Wish I Was […]

You know there’s a problem with the Iran nuclear agreement when The White House releases a fact sheet to the press outlining the agreement, and Iran issues a statement claiming the fact sheet is false… within 15 minutes. Oops. White House: “Iran has committed to halt enrichment above 5 percent and dismantle the technical connections […]

Apple CEO Tim Cook should know better than to freak out over Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). His company was also the victim of media alarmism and hyperbole. A few months ago, the media was frothing over seemingly millions of people bending their $650 iPhones in their pockets. #BendGate became a trending topic on […]

Senator Barack Obama excited his liberal base by passionately reciting scathing polemics against individualism, soaring verses about some vague oceans calming and undecipherable humblebrag about “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” Senator Ted Cruz excites his conservative base by encouraging us to close our eyes and “imagine” millions of courageous conservatives, all across […]

This is not the first time a U.S. President has worked to defeat a foreign leader. But it is extremely unusual that President Obama worked so hard to unseat the leader of a strong alley. While Obama railed against the Republicans inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak on behalf of his country’s desire to […]

How would you like a free refund of your last three years’ of taxes? A promise that you won’t have to pay any possible back taxes or penalty? Would you have any objection if the IRS chooses not to ask for income verification? No problem! But there’s only one catch. You must be living here […]

An offensively stupid comment by influential and presumably smart people sometimes brings awareness to a subject that would otherwise be largely ignored. Example number one: There would be less reporting recently on the plight of homeless veterans had Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald not lied about his military experience. In a photo op gone […]

How much should the government fine people whose children are deemed by (some) well-meaning bureaucrats as “obese?” $500? $800? Senators in our friendly associated state, Puerto Rico, have been debating that very issue this week. Seriously. If you believe government certainly should be measuring your children for a “fat tax” in school because there are […]

There was a time when Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) were respected. Mr. Dees prosecuted Klan organizations and Neo-Nazi organizations into bankruptcies. The SPLC published the names and locations of racist hate groups on a regular basis, raising millions of dollars in contributions and legal judgements. Mr. Dees had wide respect […]

Your reaction to the following facts about Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s pick to be the next Attorney General, may tell you more about your own political leanings than those of Lynch. Loretta Lynch believes the NSA spy program recording and collecting every American’s internet, cell phone and digital communication without any warrants is allowed by […]

Since when is canceling a tax-free college savings plan a hand-up to the middle class? When President Obama says it is. Parents and Republicans emailed, called, protested, lobbied and raged against Obama’s plan to cancel tax free withdrawals from 529 college savings plans. Seven million families use 529 plans to save for their kids’ college […]

If this is the best liberals can do to disparage Ted Cruz, the Texas Senator has a great chance of being our next President. Adam Estes at Gizmodo.com fired off a salvo that simply begs a little asterisking.** Estes writes: “Even though Cruz is from Houston, home of Johnson Space Center, there’s reason to believe […]

Hitler is in the news again, invoked by some ignorant people. On the Right, Republican Sandy Weber of Texas apologized for tweeting, “Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn’t do it for right reasons.” His apology included, “… I now realize that […]

A funny thing happened on the way to a news story: ABC and NBC were again distracted by friendly noise from fellow leftwing travelers. Sarah Palin, whose name is to liberals as flame is to moths, made public comments agreeing with Tea Partiers across America that Steve Scalise, the Republican House Majority Whip, is unfit […]

What part of “Hey, Kids! Steal your parents’ guns and bring them to school!” sounds like a bad idea? If you answered, “All of it,” you may be a conservative. A San Francisco production company, Sleeper 13 Productions, created what they call a “Public Service Announcement” video in which a young boy sneaks into his […]

Elizabeth Warren and plenty of media liberals are in a panic that the Omnibus bill, nicknamed “CRomnibus,” is some sort of horrible right-wing Trojan Horse that will grind us all into domination by investment banks. Nope. While the Dodd-Frank bill allows Democrats and Republicans to repay big investment banks’ campaign contributions by “unwinding” their exposure […]

Would police have harassed Eric Garner or his wife if the government had no financial interest in the selling of taxed cigarettes? Eric Garner posed no direct threat to police, and if Staten Island police were engaged in actual community policing instead of Officer Pantaleo’s style of aggression-policing, Garner might be alive today. Here are […]

Democrats cheered when Senator Barack Obama promised them that if he were elected President, no lobbyists would “work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years.” On his first day in office, President Obama propagandized this campaign deceit with a press conference broadcasting him signing an executive order […]

Liberal billionaires reap the benefits of their XL pipeline lobbying and what do they get? The exposure of left-wing hypocrisy, for one. Liberal President Obama’s liberal government commissioned a study for the State Department run by liberal John Kerry, and the report stated the pipeline would have less environmental risk than the current mode of […]

Deceit. Fraud. Premeditated felonious theft from millions of Americans. Now that Jonathan Gruber, known as “The Architect” of Obamacare, has been publicly revealed as a joyful con artist in a YouTube video, are his actions prosecutable? The victims are the millions of Americans who lost their major medical insurance policies due to Obamacare, lost their […]

Republicans may have won the Senate and kept the House, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is no inspiration, allowing President Obama to keep all of the leverage of shutting down government spending while the President wags the threatening finger of executive orders in McConnell’s face. If Ted Cruz stays the course of conservative leadership […]
