Since Barack Obama has been the Hindenburg of Presidents on the domestic front, there hasn’t been as much commentary as you’d expect about the fact that he has been the Titanic of Presidents on foreign policy. George W. Bush certainly made his mistakes as President, primarily in Iraq, but you did at least get the […]

I feel sorry for Millennials. We are leaving them an almost insurmountable debt, an American Dream that seems tarnished, and chances are, they’re not going to have it as good as their parents. However, we’ve done something even worse to these kids. We’ve left far too much of their education in life to Hollywood, musicians, […]

If you say that we should have an “honest” discussion about what’s going on in Ferguson, it makes people think that hard truths are going to be spoken and we’re all going to deeply disagree. But, what if the dirty little secret is that MOST people, black and white, liberal and conservative, are actually on […]

1) That American politicians have stopped asking the most basic questions about good governance. Does this program work at all or does it just sound good? Does this benefit the people that are paying for it? Would people choose to pay for this? For many Americans, government seems to mostly be about taking their money […]

A couple of days ago, I was talking with a friend who complained that soldiers kill themselves every day and no one seems to bat an eye, while a celebrity like Robin Williams commits suicide and we all go nuts. There’s some truth to that. Soldiers do more for us than comedians. But, Robin Williams’ […]

As the late, great Eric Hoffer once said, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” So it is with feminism. There was a time in America when women couldn’t vote, when they weren’t allowed to work in the same professions as men and when they weren’t […]

As the late, great: Eric Hoffer once said,“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” So it is with feminism. There was a time in America when women couldn’t vote, when they weren’t allowed to work in the same professions as men and when they weren’t really considered […]

Terrible ideas never really die on the Left; they just come back over and over again, like a gas station sandwich after a night of heavy drinking. So it is with reparations for slavery, which liberals would happily embrace en masse if they ever thought they could ram it through Congress. Here’s why reparations for […]

1) Liberalism is college professors and documentary filmmakers accumulating vast fortunes in a capitalistic system by decrying the evils of capitalism. 2) Liberalism is claiming that the “border is secure” while saying we shouldn’t deport anyone who illegally crosses the border. 3) Liberalism is “environmental activists” flying across the world to ride together in SUVs […]

A majority of Republicans in Mississippi who voted in the primary and run-off election wanted Chris McDaniel to be their Senate candidate. Yet, Thad Cochran won anyway. How? By telling Democrats that Chris McDaniel and his supporters were racists. Worse yet, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, the Chamber of Commerce and worst […]

Katie Kieffer’s new book is called, Let Me Be Clear: Barack Obama’s War on Millennials, and One Woman’s Case for Hope. Last week, Katie and I talked about her new book. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. You talked about growing up in a house with guns.:  So let me ask […]

  1) No matter what they fail at, it’s always someone else’s fault. George Bush did it, the Republicans are mean, the dog ate Obama’s homework. It’s not his fault that he’s flunking every class! 2) They don’t read history, they think their parents are stupid, and they don’t need to know anything other than […]

Are you Hispanic, black, Asian, Jewish, gay, young, old, poor, or a woman? Well, then you may have heard that conservatives like me hate you. In fact, I’m sure you’ve probably heard some version of it a hundred times since it seems to be the standard rap for liberals these days. “Those conservatives are racists! […]

When you think poor governance, you think liberalism. Barack Obama could fairly be called the worst President in history and one of his biggest competitors for that crown is Jimmy Carter, whose name primarily brings to mind the words “malaise,” “hostage crisis,” and “liberal peanut farmer.” Lyndon Johnson? Other than the Civil Rights Act of […]

  Today, grassroots conservative Chris McDaniel is going up against establishment Republican Thad Cochran in a primary election in Mississippi. Other than Dave Brat’s victory over Eric Cantor, this has the potential to be the most important race of the election cycle so far. If you’re in Mississippi, you need to get out and vote […]

The only thing more disturbing than the arrogance, incompetence, and lawlessness of Barack Obama’s administration is that most liberals are perfectly fine with everything he’s doing. It’s shocking that there are so many Americans who don’t care about the Constitution, the rule of law, or even what happens to the country just as long as […]

Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House has been one of the low points in the history of our republic. It may seem melodramatic to compare the damage Barack Obama is doing to 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and the White House being burned during the war of 1812, but in a sense he’s worse than any […]

Calling someone a “racist” used to mean that a person disliked certain people because of their skin color. Today, MOST OF THE TIME, it means something entirely different. Now, if someone is better and smarter than a liberal, a liberal cries “white privilege.” If a liberal is failing and he doesn’t know what to do […]

All across America at this time of year, there are high school and college students graduating from our education system and heading into the real world. Here’s a little advice for them from outside the liberal cocoon their teachers have weaved over the last few years. 1) You were not born special: Everyone is not […]
