Questions Lester Holt should ask

Next week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton could determine the outcome of the election. As polls show Trump leading in some swing states and closing the gap in others, it appears the only burden he must overcome is the one Ronald Reagan shared, looking presidential enough that voters trust him with so […]

 

Trump Tries To Out-Bid Hillary

Votes always have been for sale. Not all votes, but a lot of them. Some people have the principles to reject offers of “free government stuff” in exchange for their support on Election Day, but many don’t. These votes have been the bread and butter of the Democratic Party for decades, but more and more […]

 


BDS: Anti-Israel and Anti-American

A recent event I attended on Capitol Hill opened my eyes. It was hosted by the Endowment for Middle East Truth and the subject was “Exposing BDS: The Movement That Seeks to Destroy Israel.” BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions. It is a movement trying to conduct economic warfare against the state of Israel by […]

Republicans Cave on IRS Impeachment – Just as They Always Do

Last October (2015), Utah representative Jason Chaffetz, one of the few Congressman who actually takes his job seriously, presented four Articles of Impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen to the House Judiciary Committee. It should have been a slam dunk.   In brief, the Articles  state that 1: Koskinen “failed in his duty to respond to lawfully […]

 



The Year of Political Re-enactors

The thought came to me as I watched the Cleveland police clear away protesters from the city’s Public Square. Half a dozen on horseback, nearly a dozen or so on heavy-duty bikes, the cops deftly corralled the protesters without so much as touching anyone, much as a border collie channels a flock of uncomprehending sheep. […]

 

Illegal Aliens Help Social Security – Not

Yahoo News posted an article  by the Atlantic attempting to defend and legitimize illegal aliens by trying to convince the reader that illegals are actually a net asset forAmerica, as they pay billions into the Social Security system and get little in return. “Every year, the Social Security Administration collects billions of dollars in taxes that it […]

 

Why the Conservative Admiration of Putin Is Dangerous

Donald Trump admires Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strength and “great control over his country.” So naturally, conservative supporters like Hugh Hewitt, Dinesh D’Souza and many others felt compelled to praise the effectiveness of the Russian strongman, especially when compared to President Barack Obama. First of all, remember that when Trump’s con game is over, you’ll […]

 

Political Correctness Doesn’t Only Threaten Speech

Many, including me, have lamented that political correctness, especially on university campuses, is undermining free speech. That’s true, but I’m not sure that political correctness is the only culprit or that free speech is the only casualty. Most of us have heard about “white privilege,” “trigger warnings,” “microaggressions” and “safe spaces.” Let me provide rough […]

Good Guys Can Still Win

There was a scene in one of the Iron Man movies, I’m not sure which, where billionaire genius and mega-eccentric Tony Stark (Iron Man) gets called up before a Senate committee on Capitol Hill.   Things didn’t go the way they do in the real world – where the CEO agrees to be publicly bullied […]

 


Apple Tax Grab by EU Invades IRS Airspace

On August 30th, the European Union (EU) Commission ordered the Irish government to reclaim some $14.6 billion of so-called back taxes plus interest from Apple Inc. The order challenged sovereign tax authority within the EU and well-established international tax rules. The aggressive stance of the Commission set off a furor of high level political argument […]

 


Snowden, Putin, Trump

The ACLU is behind a campaign to prompt President Obama to pardon National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. As Snowden told the Guardian, he knows he violated “laws on the books,” but “that is perhaps why the pardon power exists — for the exceptions, for the things that may seem unlawful in letters on a […]

 

Hillary’s ‘Deplorables’? What About Hillary’s ‘Generalistic’?

This political season means full employment for pundits, opinion givers, strategists and soothsayers, on cable television and via social media. It’s interesting to watch the catch phrases, verbal crutches and tics speakers and writers use, which often, when examined, make little or no sense. We all do it. Donald Trump is fond of saying, ” That I […]

 


Congress to Embrace Its Favorite Pastime, Kicking the Can

Election cycles can be unfriendly to serious policy debates on critical issues, such as Washington’s ongoing addiction to excessive government spending and debt. The circus of this election cycle has been particularly devoid of serious discussion on this paramount problem. We see minimal concern that deficits are growing again, no serious solutions being offered to […]

 

Mulan vs. the Diversity-Mongers

Let’s get down to business. The casting kerfuffle over Disney’s live-action remake of the 1998 animated hit “Mulan” brings honor to none. It’s a politically correct tempest in a Chinese teapot. More than 90,000 angry activists have now signed a petition “to tell Disney that we demand to see them cast an Asian Mulan.” The […]

 

Sausage Party Politics

Seth Rogen, co-writer, co-producer and co-star of the animated comedy “Sausage Party,” is unhappy with me — for defending him. His movie was attacked by some online commentators for using ethnic and sexual stereotypes, as cartoons often do. What was remarkable is how incensed some people get over a cartoon, even one about talking food. […]

 

Academic Giants and Dwarfs

The University of Chicago’s president, Dr. Robert J. Zimmer, wrote a Wall Street Journal article, titled “Free Speech Is the Basis of a True Education.” In it, he wrote: “Free speech is at risk at the very institution where it should be assured: the university. Invited speakers are disinvited because a segment of a university […]
