Illegals to Get Billions in Tax Credits Under Obama’s Amnesty

It’s bad enough that Obama wants to let illegal immigrants waltz into our country and break our laws with no consequences. No, he’s got to make it worse by handing them billions of dollars in tax credits, too. Currently illegal immigrants already collect more than $4 billion in tax credit payments every year. A 2011 […]

British Interrogators Banned From Shouting at Terrorists

Liberals have arrived at a clever technique for ridding the world of torture. They are defining the word downward toward the point where everything is torture. If everything is torture, then nothing is torture. Voilà: no more torture. Idiotic, I know, but it is the only way I can ascribe benevolent motives to Dianne Feinstein’s […]

While Country Crumbles, Democrats Address the Needs of Transgender Illegal Alien Children

Don’t blame Democrats for refusing to address problems like the $18 trillion debt, the erosion of American influence, the rogue nature of the executive branch under Obama, Putin’s reconstitution of the Soviet Union, China’s expansion into our former sphere of influence, the rise of ISIS, continuing Islamic terror, Iran’s race to acquire nuclear weapons, the […]

Taliban Animals Kill 126 At Pakistani School

While Democrats here in the US and other liberals around the world have been wringing their hands and getting the vapors over the CIA enhanced interrogation program, hardcore Islamists have been doing what they do: kill people in gruesome ways. ISIS beheads people, including Americans. And the Taliban…. (NY Times) In one of Pakistan’s bloodiest […]

Obama’s Politicized DOJ Wants Immigration Lawsuit Dismissed

It would be wrong to term the Obama/Holder Department of Justice as “lawless”, as many have. It’s just that they pick and choose which laws they will uphold. For instance, they are all for refusing to uphold our immigration laws (AP) The Obama administration is urging dismissal of a lawsuit that would dismantle the president’s […]

Government Ineptitude, CIA-Style

Anyone skeptical about entrusting ambitious tasks to the government was not stunned by the dismal rollout of the Affordable Care Act. It featured technical snafus, cost overruns and false advertising (“If you like your plan, you’ll be able to keep it.”). Things got so bad that President Barack Obama apologized and Health and Human Services […]

Christophobes March On

America’s Christophobes have been plenty busy lately. Maybe the Christmas season makes them especially nervous. A few weeks ago, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department Chief Kelvin Cochran was suspended for a month without pay for the unforgivable sin of self-publishing a Christian book in which he expressed his disapproving views about homosexual behavior, among other things. […]

Tortured Reasoning

Critics and defenders of the harsh interrogation methods applied to captured terrorists can argue forever over whether those methods were “torture.” But any serious discussion of a serious issue — and surely terrorism qualifies as serious — has to move beyond semantics and confront the ultimate question: “Compared to what alternative?” If you knew that […]

Black Gold Loses Glitter

The stunning 40% drop in the price of oil over the past few months has scrambled global economic forecasts, changed the geo-political landscape, and has severely pressured many energy sector investments. Economists are scratching their heads to determine if the drop is good or bad for the economy or whether cheap oil will add to […]

Masters of Deceptive Persuasion

Democrats are the masters of deceptive persuasion, meaning they will take our attention off something they have really screwed up and put it on something that’s not quite so bad. And chief among those masters is he who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. For example, let’s look at the bumbling idiot Jonathan […]

The Suicidal Hashtags Of The West

On Monday, Australian police stormed the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney, where an Islamist terrorist named Man Haron Monis had taken dozens of hostages and held them for 17 hours. Three people were killed, including Monis, and several others were wounded. Monis, an Iranian immigrant, had a long criminal record, including 40 charges for indecent […]

Ph.D.’s And Other False Gods

I have been devoting my columns this month to the Ten Commandments because we need a fixed moral anchor to solve the problem of evil. And nothing is as effective as the Ten Commandments. Two weeks ago PragerUniversity.com released 11 five-minute video courses — one for each Commandment and an introduction. It has received over […]

Hacking Sony? It’s Near Treason

The intelligence was obtained illegally. The hackers presented a threat to workers and their families. Foreign operatives likely were behind the document theft. Any news organizations that report this ill-gotten information are, if not un-American, surely “morally treasonous and spectacularly dishonorable.” Are those the words of intelligence talking heads railing against National Security Agency leaker […]

Gov. Mike Pence: National Government Is Not The Nation

If success at the state level were enough to recommend someone for president of the United States, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana would be among the frontrunners for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. According to the governor’s office, Pence has “signed into law $643 million in annual tax relief: That includes: $313 million for hardworking […]

All I Want For Christmas Is A (Real) Government Shutdown

The political class breathed a sigh of relief Saturday when the US Senate averted a government shutdown by passing the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill. This year’s omnibus resembles omnibuses of Christmas past in that it was drafted in secret, was full of special interest deals and disguised spending increases, and was voted on before […]
