Governor Mitt Romney’s choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential running mate is one of those decisions that seem obvious — if not inevitable — in retrospect, even though it was by no means obvious to most of us beforehand. Anyone who wants to get a quick sense of who Paul Ryan is should […]

On Feb. 2, 2009, President Barack Obama explained his chance to fix the economy to host Matt Lauer on NBC’s “Today”: “I will be held accountable. I’ve got four years. … If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” Here are the top 10 reasons I […]

Mitt Romney has outdone himself in choosing Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate. The conservative base is ecstatic, and that will translate into voter intensity and high turnout. Our country faces an unprecedented debt crisis, primarily driven by our entitlement programs. We have more than $100 trillion of unfunded liabilities — a staggering, incomprehensible […]

The Republican vice-presidential candidate, Congressman Paul Ryan, is the Democrats’ political version of the Anti-Christ. He believes in self-reliance; the left believes in reliance on the state. His moral values are shaped by religion (Catholicism); the left is frightened by religious Christian politicians (and athletes, and members of the armed forces, and talk show hosts, […]

Mitt Romney is a bit of a sci-fi buff. He not only took his grandkids to see “The Hunger Games” when the movie came out but also read the Suzanne Collins trilogy. I wonder whether he was thinking about the books when he picked Paul Ryan to be his running mate. On the surface, Romney […]

Ze’ev Jabotinsky: declared that settlement of the “land” is the only “law”. He declared: “There is no justice, no law, and no God in heaven,: only a single law which decides and supersedes all—- [Jewish] settlement [of the land].” (Righteous Victims) For 3,000 years, the eternal city of: Jerusalem: has held the most exalted position in the Jewish religion […]

Last Thursday’s Wall Street Journal editorial “Why Not Paul Ryan?” made the case for his selection as the Republican vice-presidential nominee in this statement: “Romney can win a big election over big issues. He’ll lose a small one.” After Ryan’s serious proposal to restructure Medicare — which virtually everyone knows must be reformed — the […]

With all of the pressure: Israel: faces regarding: Iran, today’s media reports may be the most absurd one has heard yet.:  News has emerged that the United Nations Secretary General Ben Ki-moon is angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for disclosing information of a phone call between the two regarding the UN chief’s planned visit to: Tehran.: Netanyahu asked […]

Wow, I thought George W. Bush was the worst man ever to walk the earth. Now, according to the Leftists, it’s Mitt Romney? Geez, what are all the mannish looking lesbians going to do with all that anti-Bush schwag? Maybe they can recycle it into a tricycle and ride that three-wheeler down to Uglytown and […]

After the massacre in Tucson that saw six murdered and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and 12 others wounded, President Obama gave a speech at the memorial where he called for raising the tone in politics. To honor the memory of those killed and wounded the president said: The loss of these wonderful people should […]

On the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk harbor, a coatless Mitt Romney named a tieless Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee. Romney’s choice was not much of a surprise after he told NBC’s Chuck Todd on Thursday that he wanted someone with a “vision for the country, that adds something to the political discourse about […]

So, naturally there’s a lot of discussion and debate about: Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who is GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s choice for Vice President.: : Is Paul Ryan good for the Jews ? Ryan visited Israel in 2005, where he visited the Lebanon border, and met politicians including then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.: : He has co-sponsored pro-Israel […]

Our presidential elections, pundits sometimes remind us, are not national contests, but rather contests in 50 states and the District of Columbia. And since most states lean heavily to one party or the other these days, the only real contests are in a dozen or so target states. Once upon a time, most states were […]

Staying fit is a constant challenge for anyone who is busy — I find for myself working out regularly and sweating makes all aspects of life better.: : Simply releases pressure, allows the body to function better (hence the mind also should). Had a meeting today with: Elie Hirschfeld: — he is a 62 year old real estate developer […]

In the wake of the horrific Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin, left-wing barrel-scrapers are demanding that talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives apologize for criticizing a 2009 Department of Homeland Security report that hyped an ominous new wave of violent “rightwing extremism.” I don’t apologize. I call foul. The media lowlifes who exploit every […]

Those who understand that America is now on the wrong track cannot reasonably vote for Obama in November, because he is absolutely unwilling to change, perhaps even ideologically incapable of changing, course. Evidence abounds. First, consider his disastrous economic record and his rejection of any semblance of a course change. He and his economic advisers […]

Just 16 percent of voters nationwide believe it was a good idea for the government to provide Solyndra with loan guarantees. The solar power company went bankrupt and stuck taxpayers with the tab for a half-billion dollars. The Obama administration generally has responded to questions about the program in the way a venture capital firm […]

Am so confused when people talk about the “One” or “Two” State Solutions. Aren’t there 22 Arab countries? So which is the state they are talking about that is a one state solution? Cute story I just came across I wanted to share: “Do you feel lonely in Washington?” the Lubavitch Rebbe asked the Israeli […]

This: says it all. Republicans and Democrats spent last summer battling how best to save $2.1 trillion over the next decade. They are spending this summer battling how best to not save $2.1 trillion over the next decade. In the course of that year, the U.S. government’s fiscal gap – the true measure of the nation’s […]

Rod Blagojevich: said he did: and it sounds like everyone investigating the case bent over backwards not to find out if it is true. An upcoming book about Rod Blagojevich says undercover recordings caught the former governor saying he had heard that convicted influence peddler Antoin “Tony” Rezko secretly channeled $25,000 in cash to Barack Obama, but […]

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” – as long as he doesn’t need more than 5 million dollars a year. So says economic illiterate: Hamilton Nolan at Gawker. Let’s have a maximum annual income of, oh, $5 million, pegged to inflation. All income above that would be taxed at 99 […]

Fifty years from now, everyone will agree that Karl Rove committed treason by revealing the identity of CIA “spy” Valerie Plame, tea partiers shouted the N-word at a black congressman and Duke lacrosse players gang-raped a stripper. Liberals tell whopping lies, and most conservatives can’t be bothered to learn history. In the last few days, […]

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently said of the Chick-fil-A fast-food franchise that “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago’s values.” Why? Because Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is on record as being opposed to gay marriage — as is close to half the U.S. population, according to polls. The mayors of Boston and San Francisco also suggested that […]

Jared Lee Loughner pleaded guilty Tuesday to 19 counts involving a 2011 shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that left six dead and 13 others, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, wounded. As part of the deal, Loughner will receive a sentence of life without parole. Victims’ families have been spared the rigors of a trial, and prosecutors can […]

President Obama is my president. He’s not illegitimate. He’s not a usurper. He was duly elected by my fellow citizens — and as much as I think he’s a horrible commander-in-chief with anti-American ideals, that’s the choice Americans made in 2008. But by the same token, President Obama isn’t my: president. He isn’t doing anything for […]

To call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a “mad dog,” as Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank did, is an affront to the canine community and those suffering from legitimate mental illness. Reid was completely sane when he spread hearsay about an anonymous Bain Capital investor who allegedly told him Mitt Romney paid no taxes for […]
