Media Forgets to Mention S. C. Immigration Law-Blocking Judge is Obama Appointee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama Targeting Police Nationwide to Divert from Fast and Furious

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Either there has been a huge increase in discrimination by law enforcement during the Obama administration, or Obama is targeting law enforcement for politically motivated reasons.

Democrats Trick Americans With Payroll Tax Cut Extension Ruse

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

The Democrats are accusing Republicans in Congress of opposing the extension of payroll tax cuts. On the face of it, something seems wrong.
