Jonathan Turley: Obama Is the Danger the Constitution Was Designed to Protect Us From

Posted on by Dave Blount

George Washington University law professor and MSNBC regular Jonathan Turley is no right-winger. But Obama scares him — and for the right reasons. From his testimony at a congressional hearing on Tuesday, after Turley was asked by Rep Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) how Obama’s “unilateral modification” of laws passed by Congress “affect both the balance of […]

 

Revering Nelson Mandela

Posted on by Dave Blount

Nelson Mandela with wife Winnie and Joe Slovo. Stay away from your TV this weekend if you have a low tolerance for saccharine. As you know by now, former communist terrorist and President of South Africa Nelson Mandela is dead. The liberal establishment has been waiting for decades to conduct his memory to the peak […]

 

Obama Sinking Fast Among Youth

Posted on by Dave Blount

The bad thing about being young is you are born knowing nothing. The good thing is that your brain is wired to learn quickly — which is just what millennials have been doing where Obama is concerned: Young Americans are turning against Barack Obama and Obamacare, according to a new survey of millennials, people between […]

 

Hate Hoax at Vassar College

Posted on by Dave Blount

Small liberal arts colleges like Vassar College are impregnable bastions of progressivism, but even they witness terrible outbreaks of abusive political incorrectness — fake ones, of course: Reports of bias incidents at Vassar College that involved hateful messages left on students’ doors were actually elaborate hoaxes – and the perpetrator is none other than the […]

 

Diversity Means Many Options

Posted on by Dave Blount

This is evidently not a joke, but an actual screenshot from an application to Bellevue College in suburban Seattle: Via MyNorthwest.com: Instead of the standard “Male” and “Female” boxes that one checks on applications, there was the question: What is your ‘gender identity’? And seven different options: Feminine, Masculine, Androgynous, Gender Neutral, Transgender, Other and […]

 

Free $21,000 Eco-Cars, Compliments of the Taxpayer

Posted on by Dave Blount

Big Government has tried repeatedly to promote eco-friendly vehicles. It hasn’t helped that for the most part only posturing moonbats with more money than they know what to do with have any use for these overpriced, underpowered deathtraps. But there is one group other than Hollyweird actors willing to drive them — people so broke […]

 

Christmas Comes Early in Iran

Posted on by Dave Blount

Did anyone, anywhere, at any point in this farcical presidency think Obama and the left-wing clowns he appoints to crucial positions would effectively advance America’s interests vis-à-vis our worst enemy for the past generation, Iran? Charles Krauthammer on the Iran deal: “It’s really hard to watch the president and secretary of state and not think […]

 

Movember as a Thought Crime

Posted on by Dave Blount

Ever see athletes on TV wearing pink accessories or swinging pink bats to advance breast cancer awareness and wonder why they never demonstrate concern for men’s health issues like prostate cancer? The reason is that it would be sexist — just like Movember: The health and education editor of the student newspaper at one of […]

 

Cracking Down on Vegetable Gardens

Posted on by Dave Blount

You would think the one thing the veggie-munching health Nazis who seem to dictate every picayune aspect of modern life would let people do is plant vegetable gardens in their yards. But no: A Miami Shores couple was recently told by city ordinance officials that they had to dig up their 17-year-old vegetable garden, which […]

 

Forbes Calls for Impeachment

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama’s disastrous presidency represents a fork in the road. We can turn back, toward limited government, division of powers, and individual liberty. Or we can plunge forward, into egalitarian autocracy. At the rate Obama is laying waste to the foundations of our government, we may not have three years to make the decision. Already Forbes […]

 

De Blasio Gets Policing Advice From Felons

Posted on by Dave Blount

Maybe New York City won’t degenerate into total chaos when the ultra-left Bill de Blasio becomes mayor after all. He is seeking advice on policing tactics. But wait — he’s getting the advice… from criminals: A group of 50 ex-cons, junkies and chronic vagrants gathered at a Manhattan “Think Tank” Thursday to describe what they […]

 

The Filibuster Power Grab

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even assuming we can replace Obama with someone who will try to restore American values after the 2016 election, the Reign of Moonbattery will corrode our country for decades, thanks to the Community Organizer in Chief packing courts high and low with radical left-wing ideologues. To facilitate this operation, his top henchman Harry Reid has […]

 

The Raw Essence of the Welfare State

Posted on by Dave Blount

Mac Slavo sums up the welfare state nicely: In America, those who work get punished. Those who don’t, get a free ride, courtesy of a nationwide policy of spreading the wealth around through confiscation and redistribution. This is known in liberal circles as “social justice.” If it doesn’t enrage you, have a listen to what […]

Why Obama Is Blowing Off Gettysburg Address

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama has displayed his contempt for our country and its heritage yet again, this time by blowing off today’s 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. No doubt he has important fund-raising to do. Or maybe he understands how pathetic he looks in comparison to a real president, as Bret Stephens suggests. Obama used to love […]

 

ObamaCare Marriage Penalty

Posted on by Dave Blount

What makes our soft tyranny not only repressive, expensive, and pernicious but positively toxic is that it has an agenda. Every expansion of federal power provides bureaucrats opportunities to further that agenda — which includes the destruction of the family: A married couple can get Obamacare subsidies if their income is less than 400 percent […]

 

Coming Next: Race-Based Car Loans

Posted on by Dave Blount

America under liberal rule is a racist tyranny. Think that is hyperbole? Then talk to a car dealer about this: [T]he new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] is ginning up a campaign to use “disparate impact” analysis to charge racism in auto lending. That’s the theory that looks at statistics to prove bias without evidence […]

Government-Sanctioned Looting in Venezuela

Posted on by Dave Blount

Venezuela’s democratically elected socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro shows us what we can look forward to after Democrats have finished with the health insurance industry: National guardsmen, some of whom had assault rifles, were positioned around outlets of an electronics chain that Maduro has ordered to lower prices or face prosecution. Thousands of people lined up […]

 

Caitlyn Jackson, RIP

Posted on by Dave Blount

A day never goes by without the supposedly therapeutic totalitarian Nurse Ratched nanny statism of educrats reaching a new extreme of self-parody. This one will be hard to top: Several parents and students were upset Monday when Lakeview Middle School barred students from wearing T-shirts honoring a classmate who died Saturday after a long battle […]
