Rape Matters; Catching Rapists Does, Too

So get this. Top justice officials have figured out a way to make the bad guys finance programs that help solve crimes. It’s such a unique solution to a long-standing problem that I just have to share. The district attorney’s office in Manhattan — a jurisdiction that includes one of the preeminent financial centers of […]

 

Where are they now?

It’s called Frontex and, according to its website, the agency “promotes, coordinates and develops European border management in line with the (European Union) fundamental rights charter applying the concept of Integrated Border Management.” Except that it isn’t. As reported by the UK Daily Mail, “Mass immigration is allowing terrorists to sneak into the EU.” In […]

 

Obama’s Eleventh Hour Land Grab

These last several months of the Obama presidency may be the most dangerous time in America’s history, at least domestically. Having nothing to lose and with time waning, Obama is throwing all caution to the wind as he attempts to push as much of his radical anti-freedom agenda as is possible before his tenure comes […]

 

Buyer Beware: 11 Million Reasons for Conservatives to Rethink Trump

Over the last 10 months the Conservative Base of Republican voters have been split into two distinct camps: Pro-Trump and Stop-Trump. The majority of Pro-Trump conservatives first gravitated towards his candidacy based on his bold declarations regarding our illegal immigration dilemma. Trump initially took ahardline stance on the issue while conjuring images of the very […]

 

The Tragic Deterioration of Washington’s Great Society Subway

If you live any distance beyond the Capital Beltway you probably didn’t notice, but an important part of government in Washington shut down on Wednesday, March 16. That’s when the Metro subway system’s recently installed general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, ordered a one-day shutdown of the entire 117-mile system for emergency inspection of track-based power cables. […]

 

A Time for Real Republican Leadership

After the 2012 election, when Americans re-elected Barack Obama, Republican Party leadership rightly did some soul searching. Republicans were in shock that Americans could re-elect a man they saw as clearly bad for the country, weakening us at home and fueling instability abroad. Polls showed that Obama’s signature law, the Affordable Health Care Act — […]

 

Divided Democrats: Welcome To Philadelphia

As the media focuses on what promises to be “The Mistake On The Lake 2: Electric Boogaloo,” also known as the Republican convention in Cleveland, there’s another tire fire heating up in the City Of Brotherly Hate. The GOP convention looks like it will be a mess, but the Democratic convention a week later could […]

 



Wisconsin Republicans Bid No Trump

“Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again.” That’s the first sentence in a Trump campaign statement tweeted out Tuesday night by the Washington Post’s Robert Costa. It’s also a strange way to respond to a solid defeat, reminiscent of the Monty Python knight who insists he is winning after both his […]

 


Sanders, Social Security and Class Warfare

At the request of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has published a study about the impact of life expectancy on Social Security benefits. As expected, GAO found that the shorter lifespans of low-income workers reduce the total amount of benefits they receive during retirement. Specifically, people with incomes of […]

 

Declaration of Genocide is a Big, Fat, Juicy Nothing Burger

Words matter. Especially words which when spoken can save lives. But without action, words are empty…worthless…meaningless, especially when we’re talking about genocide. Such are the words of the Obama administration, an administration so preoccupied with majoring on minor things like waging a war prescription drug abuse, it barely has time to notice the things which […]

 



And, Now, New York

After Ted Cruz’s smashing win in Wisconsin, it’s on to New York. Will the Empire State break Cruz’s momentum and give Donald Trump back his lead? The key lies in the rules. Fourteen of New York’s 95 delegates will be elected at large and the remaining 81 will be chosen with three allocated to each […]

 

Arguments against free trade are deeply flawed

For years, supporters of free trade have been trying to reach a bipartisan consensus on the issue. They’ve finally succeeded. Free trade is now unpopular in both parties. Perhaps because I am a conservative, I can at least understand where most conservatives are coming from in their opposition to free trade. Overt displays of nationalism […]

 

Run Against Obama

When a Republican has been in the presidency for eight years, as George W. Bush was, Democrats run against the Republicans. When a Democrat has been in office for eight years, as Barack Obama will soon have been, Republicans run against Republicans. This is a year in which the multiple failures of the Obama years […]

 

We Don’t Have to Break It to Fix It

I constantly hear that only Donald Trump supporters can understand the Trump phenomenon, as if it were inaccessible to nonbelievers, like the secret knowledge of ancient Gnostics. But I don’t believe it’s a matter of comprehension. Trump supporters are so tired of the ruling class and are so adamant about a handful of issues that […]

 


The politicization of the English language

Last week, French President Francois Hollande met President Obama in Washington to discuss joint strategies for stopping the sort of radical Islamic terrorists who have killed dozens of innocents in Brussels, Paris and San Bernardino in recent months. Hollande at one point explicitly referred to the violence as “Islamist terrorism.” The White House initially deleted […]

 

What Left-Wing Abortion Extremism?

Donald Trump, when asked, “Do you believe in punishment for abortion?” said, “There has to be some form of punishment.” “For the woman?” asked MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. “Yeah,” said Trump. Hours later, Trump walked it back, and said: “The doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally […]

 

Whose morality?

In a recent interview for the BBC2 series “Inside Obama’s White House,” President Obama sounded somewhat wistful as he spoke to an interviewer about how he has tried to use his voice “to move things toward a more ethical and moral outcome.” The question of morals and ethics has been debated since the dawn of […]

 

Trump Whines and Whines Until He Loses

On Tuesday night, Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, won a sweeping victory over 2016 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in Wisconsin. Cruz won virtually every demographic, nearly 50 percent of the vote and the vast bulk of the delegates. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump could fail to reach the necessary 1,237 delegates in order to […]

 

The Coming Illegality of Acting Legally

If you haven’t heard yet, the release of the so-called Panama Papers has revealed that top global leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iceland’s prime minister may be using companies and other business entities created by a Panama-based firm as a way to avoid taxes or conceal wealth. It’s creating quite an uproar. […]

 

Government Dysfunction Costs Lives

Every year, more than half a million patients in the U.S. are unknowingly put at risk of contracting a superbug infection during a common medical procedure. A doctor threads a tube-like scope down your throat and into your digestive system to treat cancer and other problems. You assume the tube is clean. Think again. The […]

 

Bernie Passes Hillary in National Poll

The McClatchy/Marist poll of March 31, released on Wednesday, shows Bernie Sanders two points ahead of Hillary Clinton nationally (49-47). This poll, of course, was taken before Sanders’ win in Wisconsin. With all the Democratic primaries allocating delegates based on proportional distribution, national popular vote polling has a distinct relevance to future contests. A pattern […]

 


Requiem for a VA Victim

What does a suffering military veteran have to do to force an unresponsive government to change its ways? How about self-immolating in front of his VA clinic? Hello, paper-pushers and desk jockeys? Are you there? Would the heat, the smoke and the smell of burning flesh rouse you in the least? Nope. Apparently, even this […]

 

Freedom to Disagree

“Should a Jewish baker be (SET ITAL) forced (END ITAL) to bake a cake for a Nazi wedding?” I asked that strange but important question during last week’s debate between three Libertarian presidential candidates. You can see the second hour of that debate Friday, on my Fox Business Network TV show. If you’re disappointed by […]
