There’s a reason gun sales are through the roof, gold advertisements are everywhere, products like survival seeds have started to creep into the edges of our consciousness, and Doomsday Preppers now runs on National Geographic. It’s the same reason people have started asking about ways to hedge their money against inflation and which countries they […]

1) Affirmations. Affirmations are a list of traits, behaviors, thought patterns, or future goals you want in your life. Ideally, they should be relatively short, specific, and written in a way that captures your imagination: (here’s a good, short how-to guide on word affirmations). You should read your list of affirmations daily, at least once – […]

There’s a reason it took the country so long to pull out of the Great Depression under FDR, why Americans became acquainted with the Misery Index under Carter, and why we’ve had the weakest economic recovery from a recession in U.S. history under Obama. Liberal economic policies just don’t work. In fact, the only time […]

Predicting whom a particular candidate will take as Vice-President is always difficult because so many factors play into it. Do both candidates get along? Is the presidential nominee looking to carry a particular state, region, or demographic group? Does he want a rock star or is he looking for a candidate who won’t overshadow him? […]

Barack Obama has “already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined.” Yet, despite the fact that he has been campaigning almost non-stop since the 2010 election, aside from trying to steal credit from the SEALs for killing Osama Bin Laden, you very seldom hear Obama talk about his record. […]

Here’s a little secret that you would not guess if you met me in public; I’m naturally introverted. I was very shy as a kid, I’m still perfectly content to go to dinner or a movie by myself, and I enjoy working alone. That being said, I’m also one of the best networkers you’re ever […]

For reasons that are hard to fathom, we’ve recently had conservative after conservative publicly agreeing that Barack Obama is amazingly super cool. This is bizarre because they’ve been convinced of this by the same old liberal hype machine at work. Remember when fashion magazines were regularly declaring that Michelle Obama, who is the worst dressed […]

It’s great being 20 years old, isn’t it? Well, that’s what we always tell ourselves when we get older. Everything back then was the “good old days.” But, if you’re honest about it, you’ll have to admit it was never quite as good as it seems in your head. When I look back, it was […]

  Birds of a feather flock together and so when we see Barack Obama stacking his cabinet with radicals, it tells us a lot about his mentality. Of course, the fact that his entire term in office has been nothing but a slow motion evisceration of the American dream should tell you a lot about […]

My latest PJ Media column is called, The 7 Deadly Sins Of Conversation. Here’s an excerpt from the column. There are lot of different conversational habits that can cause you to lose friends and alienate people. Unfortunately, you can slip into them quite easily. Next thing you know, you’re wondering why the people at work […]

Whether you’ve had some form of head trauma that has caused you to like Barack Obama or like all good hearted people, you can’t stand him, his performance has objectively been terrible. Of course, we can debate WHY his performance has been so bad. His supporters would probably blame Bush, Republicans in Congress, ATM machines, […]

Picking out the most disturbing moments of Barack Obama’s presidency is kind of like trying to choose the wettest parts of the ocean. Other than his “Even a blind squirrel sometimes gets a nut” moment where he said “yes” when the SEALS asked if they were allowed to kill Osama Bin Laden, his entire presidency […]

Paul Krugman seems to spend most of his time these days yowling for higher spending EVERYWHERE. If you listen to Krugman, you’d think every economic problem America and Europe have is a result of not spending enough money. Krugman’s thinking is loosely based on Keynesian economic theories that don’t work now and have never worked […]

There’s a lot of truth to the old saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Meeting the right people and having them like you can get you a job, further your career, or earn you a once-in-a lifetime deal. It’s also how you make new friends. People can sing: “I Am a Rock”: all […]

Yesterday, Rick Santorum dropped out of the race. Theoretically, that should help Newt Gingrich, but he has already been talking like his campaign is over and he’s bouncing a $500 check to Utah; so it’s hard to see how he could get it together and seriously challenge Mitt at this point. Of course, Ron Paul […]

1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event. 2) Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is […]

If America’s economy were a minority, Barack Obama would be guilty of a hate crime for the things he’s done to it. If the economy were a kidnap victim, Barack Obama would be telling it to “put the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” If this were the movie Saw, […]

Don’t get me wrong. Not every conservative has a winning personality and not every liberal is a toothache in search of a mouth to inhabit. In fact, one of the single nicest people I know is a liberal (Hi, Julie Joyce!) Yet and still, it’s not a reach to say that most liberals, especially the […]

You have to give liberalism a certain amount of credit. It doesn’t work, destroys lives, and pits people against each other, but that’s not to say that there are no advantages to being a liberal. Sure, you may end up sleeping in a tent in Zuccotti Park, reading Noam Chomsky’s laughably ignorant books, or having […]

My latest PJ Media column is called, 7 Ways Wildly Successful People Screw Up Their Lives. Here’s an excerpt from the column. Success is a journey not a destination. — Anonymous Many of us act as if success is a permanent state that we’re working to reach. We think, “One day, I’m finally going to […]

When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they’re doing so for purely selfish reasons. It’s the human equivalent of a puppy dog’s face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look […]
