Inner City Kids and The Politics That Abandons Them

We are all aware of the dismal condition of our inner city schools. These children, largely composed of minorities, are trapped in schools that have become little more than lousy daycare centers. Dropping out seems a more reasonable option for many of these children. We all agree that education is the key to lifting kids […]

More Money In Climate Skepticism? “Hardly.”

I don’t know if New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is simply ignorant, or if he was simply lying, but he said something this Sunday on ‘This Week” with George Stephanopoulos that I have to discuss. He said: KRUGMAN: There is tremendously more money in being a skeptic than there is in being a supporter. […]

 




“You’ve Come A Long Way, Maybe”

Leslie Sanchez, a Republican strategist and former advisor to President George Bush, has written a timely book about politics and the American woman. In “You’ve Come A Long Way, Maybe,” she takes a hard non partisan look at three woman in particular. Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton. It is fascinating to compare such […]

 

The Lameness of Adam Lambert

Let’s face it, he’s boring — which my latest column at The American Spectator is certainly not: At some point, reasonable people might expect an end to these épater les bourgeoisie gestures, as the bourgeoisie have long since ceased to be shocked by such routine public exhibitions. . . . More than four decades have […]

 

Secret Service Interviews Tareq and Michaele Salahi: Comprehensive White House Security Review Expected Soon

There are two MSM reports out tonight, and in print newspapers in the morning. From the New York Times, “Secret Service Interviews Gate-Crashers“: As part of a broadening inquiry into presidential security, Secret Service agents have interviewed the Virginia couple who sneaked into a White House state dinner last week, a senior federal official involved […]

 

Global Warming: Faith, Reason and the Temple Cult of Scientism

Devastating revelations about the bogus science of the climate-change fanatics inspired me Saturday to reflect on the Temple Cult of Scientism: The High Priests perform their statistical rituals and the cultists genuflect reverently before their idol, Science. Today’s latest news — that the original data which generated the global-warming thesis were long ago destroyed — […]

 

Role of ACLU Decisive in Moving KSM Trial to New York

Originally written for PJM: Crossposted from STACLU: Eric Holder called his decision to try the suspected plotters of 9/11 in New York City “the toughest decision I’ve had to make as attorney general.” It was unarguably the most controversial one. In my opinion, it was also the stupidest one. The decision has rightly received plenty […]

 

Pumping Celebrity, White House Publishes Dinner-Crasher Pics on Flickr: Yet, Tareq and Michaele Security Breach a Major Blow to Obama Administration

The mainstream press is right to note the major implications of Tuesday night’s security breach at the White House state dinner. For example, today’s Los Angeles Times reports, “State Dinner Crashers Met President Obama“: The Secret Service says it’s ‘deeply concerned and embarrassed.’ The agency is looking into how such a security breach happened at […]

 


International Reporting of Climategate has Been Terrific, Not Ours

Americans do many things incredibly well. We are on top of the world in many ways. Our lack of real reporting is astounding. Our media is in cahoots with our government in a much greater way than any other advanced country. It as if we were living in china the way misinformation gets onto the […]

 

Well you’ve obviously never been in an argument with my wife, then.

“I don’t believe in the no-win scenario.” Captain James T. Kirk Who should conservatives be: Captain Kirk or John Galt? Duane Lester’s asking that question over at All American Blogger. James T. Kirk — the brash young Starfleet officer who became a brash old Starfleet officer who refuses to accept defeat no matter the odds. […]

 

Did Hollywood Today Plagiarize American Power on Tareq Salahi’s Palestinian Ties?

Look, the New York Times first broke the news that Tareq Salahi, the White House gate-crasher now under investigation for the massive state dinner security breach, had ties to Palestinian rights organization, ATFP. After I saw that, I looked into it, and published my report, “Tareq Salahi, Gate-Crasher at White House State Dinner, Tied to […]

 

Black Friday Launches Amid Consumer Retreat: Green Groups Seek to Shut Down Shopping; Wall Street Eyes Markets!

My wife and oldest boy went shopping at midnight last night. It turns out the much heralded “Black Friday” launch of the holiday shopping season kicked off at midnight Friday morning at Wal-Mart stores around the country. (Wal-Mart stores actually stayed open 24-hours, kind of like a preemptive strike against other merchants. Not far behind, […]

 

Palin / Bachman To Headline National Tea Party Event

Hmm. CNN claims to have confirmed Sarah Palin’s role as keynote for a Nashville-based Tea Party event in February. The conference is: being dubbed the first National Tea Party event. Formally speaking, perhaps. Though I suspect many who went to Washington’s protest: might disagree. But this is being called a convention. Very interesting as they are both […]

 

Flashback: President Lincoln Establishes Thanksgiving as a National Holiday

It seems like more and more often, the true meaning of our national holidays are lost in an increasingly secularized liberal society. As my co-blogger, Gina Diorio, points out here, even our President doesn’t really “get” what Thanksgiving is about. As a reminder, perhaps we should all take a moment to recall an event that […]

 

Great News! President Obama and Prime Minister Singh Were ‘Never in Any Danger’ – Yeah, Lucky Tareq and Michaele Salahi Weren’t Jihadis!

You can’t have a bigger security breach, and if this were a Republican White House the press would be hammering the administration for it’s near-catastrophic security lapse, but there’s almost a breathless fawning over Michaele and Tareq Salahi, who crashed the White House state dinner on Tuesday night. See the New York Times, “At the […]

 


Navy SEALs on Trial for Allegedly Assaulting Wanted Terrorist

Three Navy SEALs are charged with assault for allegedly fattening the lip of a wanted terrorist. Ahmed Hashim Abed is wanted by the United States for being the “mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.” When he found himself in United States custody, he told the […]

In the video below you will see the mother of a Massachusetts public school student, an 11 year old girl. The mother is testifying before the “Joint Education Committee in support of the David Parker Parents Rights Bill (H406 — written by MassResistance) and against the Planned Parenthood compulsory sex-ed / homosexuality / abortion counseling […]

 

Republicans Are Happier Than Democrats (AND have a better sex life)

A recent discussion on the myths of conservatism got me to doing some research on conservatism. The answers I found didn’t surprise me, but it might some liberals. The Pew Research Center did several surveys to determine who was happy. Not surprisingly Republicans were happier than Democrats or Independents. 45% to 30% to 29%. In […]

 

Health Care Debate Heats Up in Senate; Health Care Protests Heat Up Nationwide

There’s lots of debate on the procedural moves in the Senate to start the floor debate and amending process for the Democrats’ ObamaCare monstrosity. Here’s how the Los Angeles Times explains things: Without a vote to spare, Democrats pushed their healthcare legislation over its first obstacle on the Senate floor Saturday, as the chamber voted […]
