The percentage of federal prosecutions tried by juries declined from 19 percent in 1980 to 3 percent today, as prosecutors have huge advantages over defense counsel and throw a great raft of counts against a defendant who declines to roll over. The prosecutor wins most of the cases that are tried and, as he can […]

Compare it to Texas. The people are flooding in. Almost eight percent of America’s homes are in the Lone Star State. If it were its own country, it would have the 13th highest GDP in the world. Over the last 20 years, Texas has become an increasingly important part of the US economy. In 1995, […]

The nation held up by the Liberal Democrats yesterday as a shining example of how to win the war on drugs is far from the unqualified success story they make out.

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people.

President Barack Obama’s immigration policy has left most illegal immigrants with clean records untouched, only focusing on illegals with criminal records and repeat border violators, a new study shows. The study, conducted by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), found that around 95 percent of those deported met the national security requirements Obama stipulated, while only […]

It is beyond dispute that when the 14th Amendment was adopted 146 years ago, as a necessary post-Civil War era reform, it was not imagined to also mandate same-sex marriage, but that is what the Supreme Court is implying today. The Court is making the preposterous assumption that the People of the United States somehow […]

In the North Carolina legislature, Tillis was Chuck Schumer on immigration. Thanks to his incessant shilling for the Chamber of Commerce on bringing in “guest workers” — who are now being supported by taxpayers — Tillis is currently the only Republican trying to replace a Democrat in a red state who has been consistently down […]

In 1973, fewer than 15% of physicians reported any doubts about career choices. Today nearly 40% say that they would not choose to enter the medical profession if given the opportunity to do it all over. If things continue as they are, the US can expect a shortage of 150,000 doctors by 2025, according to […]

This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. It’s a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, […]

The only problem that will surely be solved by the next 50 million immigrants, who follow the 50 million legal and illegal immigrants who have come since 1965, will be the problem presented by the continued existence of the Republican Party. — Pat Buchanan I’m not a military planner, Hamas puts its missiles, its rockets […]

If a country is a land of defined and defended borders, within which resides a people of a common ancestry, history, language, faith, culture and traditions, in what sense are we Americans one nation and one people today? — Pat Buchanan The world is boiling with racial, tribal, cultural and moral conflict. People carry in […]

When I signed on as vice chair at the NRSC, it was based on a explicit commitment from leadership that the NRSC was going to stay out of primaries. Had they not made that commitment I would not have taken on that role. I participated in the NRSC early on and when the decision was […]

(I’m) not proud to be an American. — Bill Ayers I’ve even heard people say, ‘Well, I don’t vote because I don’t know what’s going on. And I say ‘Good!’ Stupid people are ruining America, and I’m glad some of them stay home! — Herman Cain Do they even have MVPs in soccer? Everyone just […]

Iraq is at risk of falling to a radical Islamic terror group and Mr. Obama is talking climate change. Terrorists take control of more territory and resources than ever before in history, and he goes golfing. He seems blithely unaware, or indifferent to the fact, that a resurgent al Qaeda presents a clear and present […]

The minute these Tea Party groups went from “amateurs” to “professionals,” they became part of The System. And Professionals Get Paid — that is what defines the professional.

Touré believes he is entitled to win out on every political belief he has because he’s black. It’s that simple. And his method to achieving this is just to cry “Racist” whenever someone disagrees with his idiotic ideology. — Ace Cochran didn’t pose for any pictures during his brief sweep. As he made his way […]

When you look at the skills shortage – quote – carefully, what you find is a lot of employers saying, ‘I can’t find the workers I need and what they’re not saying is, ‘at the wage I’d like to pay them.’ — Jared Bernstein If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it’s […]

If GOP leaders do wait until after primary season to ram through a flawed immigration bill, the fact they did wait could easily become part of the media narrative and spread throughout the grassroots infrastructure.

The hidden truth is just around the corner–those more dependent on public insurance, mostly the poor and middle class, will have limited access to medical care.

We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated. We have moved in the right direction, and there have been […]

I think it’s up to white people to be more open-minded and blacks are more open-minded than they are. — Marion Barry In the party of Lincoln and Reagan and much of the donor class, the defense of human life is what they think loses elections. They think we need to spend time on really […]

I have a question. The word conservative can mean many things; there’s [sic] many definitions to it, but what does it say about about a group, CPAC, where the most popular speaker they had, the one who received the most rousing reception is a moron, Sarah Palin? I mean, she received a reception at that […]

I was SUCH a whore. — Abby Huntsman According to a Pew Research […]

President Obama meets every definition of an imperial presidency. He is the president that Richard Nixon always wanted to be. — Johnathan Turley When President Bush was president we treated him with great respect. We disagreed with him in the War in Iraq. We disagreed with him in Social Security… But, as I said, we […]
