Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson sees a path to the White House. The former Republican governor of New Mexico can boast a running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, who also is the former Republican governor of a blue state. When they were Republicans, they won in blue states not just once but also when they […]

Well – it appears our old buddy from the New York Daily News – the giant pansy, Gersh Kuntzman is at it again.   You remember the Gersh-meister. Oh you don’t. Well, he is quite forgettable. I wish I could.   He’s the guy (and I use that term loosely) that, after the Orlando massacre […]

Globalists must be shivering in their boots after the United Kingdom’s Brexit vote. It’s hard for elitists to comprehend that the commoners they seek to control aren’t obsessed with money and power the same way they are. Ordinary people care more about freedom, their kids’ future and their country than they care about the mighty […]

Bigotry! Nativism! Racism! That’s what elites in Britain, Europe and here have been howling, explanations for why 52 percent of a higher-than-general-election turnout of British voters voted for their nation to leave the European Union. But there is plenty of bigotry, condescension and snobbery in the accusations and the people making them. And it’s incoherent […]

Bill Clinton reminded America what the future will look like if Hillary Clinton — his wife and enabler — is elected president of the United States. What Bill did the other day in meeting privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch while his wife is under federal investigation wasn’t ostentatious. Bill didn’t want to beat his […]

Attorney General Loretta Lynch tells us that her meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a private jet on the Phoenix airport tarmac was “primarily social” — you know, just two Democrats swapping stories about their grandkids and whatnot. The nation’s top law enforcement official and the former president and husband of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee […]

In January of this year a meeting was held in secret, “hosted by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation (RBF). The stated purpose was ‘to establish in public’s mind that Exxon is a corrupt institution that has pushed humanity (and all creation) toward climate chaos and grave harm.” http://www.cfact.org/2016/06/27/exxon-climate-attackers-target-conservative-voices/   This strategy session led Al Gore and […]

I have an idea. The federal government needs to compile a list of women who shouldn’t be allowed to get abortions. The criteria for getting on the list must be flexible. If an official at, say, the NIH or FBI think that a woman should be a mother for some reason or other, he or […]

Am I fantasizing even to hope that Hillary Clinton will finally be held accountable for her lies and corruption — to say nothing of her actions in her role as bimbo-slayer for her libidinous husband? Perhaps so, but to borrow an underused cliche, hope springs eternal. Hillary has operated above the law for so many […]

“Why do people hate Hillary Clinton so much?” a reporter from the Canadian Broadcasting Company asked me this week. I responded that the pitiless rancor of American politics today is out of all proportion to our real challenges — but it’s worth recalling how Hillary Clinton earned her miserable reputation. It was the flagrant and […]

Have you heard that Hillary Clinton is the “first woman” ever to be nominated for president by a major political party? Of course you have. The media have repeated the line so often it is broken news. Hillary Clinton’s nomination and the euphoria in the press (one NPR female reporter said she has seen women […]

The latest and final Benghazi report has been issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) and boy it’s a bombshell. Or is it? And even it is – so what! USA TODAY reports that, “House Republicans on Tuesday concluded a two-year investigation into the 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi with an 800-page […]

Journalists and historians tend to overestimate the impact of political events while underestimating the power of cultural trends. For example, we celebrate the Declaration of Independence as America’s founding document. That magnificent document is an eloquent statement of ideals that we have spent more than two centuries trying to achieve. But it did not inspire […]

What did Bill Clinton promise Loretta Lynch during their tete-a-tete on her plane as it sat on the tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona? Did they restrict their conversation to their grandchildren, travel and golf as she claims?” Or did Clinton, by body language or something stronger, indicate that a President Hillary Clinton might want to keep […]

Following the Brexit, Europe may witness even more plebiscites against the undemocratic European Union throughout the continent. The furor of ignored Europeans against their union is not just directed against rich and powerful government elites per se, or against the flood of mostly young male migrants from the war-torn Middle East. The rage also arises […]

One of life’s enduring mysteries is why the left — against overwhelming evidence to the contrary — insists on more taxation, more government spending and more government control over the private sector. Europe’s socialism has, over the last several decades, generated few private sector jobs and lags in growth when compared to the United States […]

Following a meeting between a group of evangelical leaders and Donald Trump last week, Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, was interviewed by Pennsylvania pastor Michael Anthony. Dobson told Anthony that Trump had recently come “to accept a relationship with Christ” and is now a “baby Christian.” Dobson was vague about the […]

Cronyism is the ugly marriage between special interest groups and politicians, which results in an abuse of the government’s power to grant special privileges to a few winners — for example, unfairly preventing competition or doling out subsidies and bailouts at the expense of taxpayers. Though cronyism is always outrageous, the way cronies go about […]

The New York Times headline said it all: “House Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton.” The headline doesn’t say there was no wrongdoing, just no (SET ITAL) new (END ITAL) evidence of wrongdoing. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton have a genius for convincing the media that their miscues and cover-ups […]

It is not a theory that delegating the protection of our embassy and military personnel to other countries risks lives. It is a reality bathed in American blood. The latest reports on Benghazi released this week underscore the persistent dangers of outsourcing security. By all accounts, the security conditions at the State Department’s consular facility […]

Just got out of jail? Odds are that within five years, you’ll get caught doing something illegal and go back to jail. This is bad for ex-cons, their victims, their families and America. Some of these people, of course, are career criminals who ought to stay in jail. But most are people who deserve another […]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that multiculturalism has “utterly failed,” adding that it was an illusion to think Germans and foreign workers could “live happily side by side.” The failure of multiculturalism is also seen in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and other European countries. Immigrants coming from Africa and the Middle East […]

On Monday, the Supreme Court issued yet another politically driven leftist decision, this time over the contentious issue of abortion. The court explained that not only did the Constitution of the United States mandate that states not infringe upon the phantom right to abortion but that health regulations on abortion clinics in Texas had to […]

Notice I didn’t say conservatives – but I’ll get to that. A couple of Republican heavyweights have bolted on The Donald. Both George Will and W’s former treasury secretary, Henry “Hank” Paulson have jumped ship. More accurately, neither was ever on the good ship Trump and were most likely never to come aboard anyway, so […]

The knives are out to sabotage Donald Trump’s nomination, defying the wishes of the record number of Republican primary voters who chose him. Pols who backed losing candidate Ted Cruz are mounting a sour-grapes campaign to rig the Republican National Convention rules. Their goal is to deny Trump the nomination. Meanwhile, in Virginia, a state […]

PARIS — Last week, the citizens of the United Kingdom decided by majority vote to pull out of the European Union. One thing that voters probably didn’t consider was that world governing bodies such as the EU are rampant with espionage. Global governance institutions act as permanent installations in and around which intelligence officers can […]

Last week the Supreme Court of the United States voted that President Obama exceeded his authority when he granted exemptions from the immigration laws passed by Congress. But the Supreme Court also exceeded its own authority by granting the University of Texas an exemption from the Constitution’s requirement of “equal protection of the laws,” by […]

It is hard to deny that there is a worldwide impulse against elitism, globalism, unaccountable regulatory bureaucracies and illegal immigration that is powerfully present in the United States and transcends the Donald Trump candidacy. The vote to leave the European Union won decisively in Britain, which doubtlessly shocked the elites and political forecasters. Populist forces […]
