Grandmother killed cat and four kittens belonging to her grandchildren with a HAMMER ‘because they wouldn’t do chores’

Stories like this make me a support of cruel and unusual punishment. This is absolutely sickening. A 71-year-old Illinois woman has been arrested after allegedly admitting that she killed her grandchildren’s cat and four kittens with a hammer because they wouldn’t clean their rooms. Josephine Bell, of Godfrey, told police she threatened to take her […]

Maglite’s Tony Maglica: Torchbearer of the American Dream

In our home, we try to instill a life lesson for our kids best summed up in Latin: Nihil boni sine labore. It means, “Nothing good achieved without hard work.” Few people I’ve met in my lifetime embody this motto better and more brilliantly than Tony Maglica, inventor of the iconic Maglite flashlight. The spry 84-year-old founder […]

Dr. Capitalism

For years, my scientist brother Tom was the nonpolitical Stossel. I defended free markets on TV, and he studied blood at Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Mom asked me when I’d get a “real job” like his. Then the crusade against capitalism reached his world. Medical “journalists” demanded that corporations distance themselves from medical […]

The True Black Tragedy

Hustlers and people with little understanding want us to believe that today’s black problems are the continuing result of a legacy of slavery, poverty and racial discrimination. The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let’s look at some of it. Today the […]

GOP Will Keep Senate

Democrats are salivating at the prospect of recapturing the Senate in 2016. With 24 of the 34 seats up in this cycle now held by Republicans, the Dems are hoping to make up for the ground they lost in the upper chamber in 2010 and 2014. The decisions of Dan Coats, R-Ind., and Marco Rubio, […]

College Quotas for Asians

If you’re applying to Harvard and your last name is Wong, Li or Liu, changing it to Lopez or Luciano could increase your chances of getting in. Harvard routinely rejects “Asian” applicants in favor of whites and sought-after minorities with lower test scores and grades. Enrollment data reveal that Harvard limits Asian-Americans to a flat […]

After Stephanopoulos, I am boycotting all the talking heads

Some of you are probably done with ABC News over the George Stephanopoulos embarrassment. Of course, you wouldn’t be wrong to boycott ABC News. You might be a fool not to. If you have any pretension to intellectual honesty, you either boycott ABC News over this Stephanopoulos mess, or you take a pair of hairy […]

Barack Obama’s ‘Lottery Winners’

Last week, President Obama held a summit on poverty at Georgetown University. There, he explained that unrest in major American cities could be traced not to lack of values, but to simple lack of cash — and that lack of cash, he suggested, could be attributed to simple lack of luck. “The top 25 hedge […]

Fewer publicity stunts, more results needed against Islamic State

PARIS — Pentagon officials are touting the success of a Delta Force special operations commando raid in Syria last weekend that resulted in the dispatch of about a dozen Islamic State riffraff. Not to take anything away from Delta Force, which is comprised of America’s most elite warriors, but this kind of straightforward, direct-action job […]

Jeb Bush has bigger problems than Iraq war stumble

By now everyone has had their say about Jeb Bush’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. The consensus is that Bush misheard Megyn Kelly’s “knowing what we know now” question about the Iraq war. I’m not convinced. Politicians routinely answer the question they wish they were asked rather than the question they were actually […]

Obama’s DHS Has Stopped Removing Aliens Who Pose National Security or Public Safety Risk

Once again Obama is caught endangering our country with his plan to import and legalize millions of illegal immigrants, many of them criminals. As Washington watchdog group Judicial Watch notes, “The monstrous agency created after 9/11 to protect the United States from more terrorist attacks instead compromises national security by failing to track how many […]
