Thinking About Torture

For a long time I resisted the word “torture” when discussing the “enhanced interrogation techniques” used against high-value captives in the war on terror. I don’t think I can do that anymore. The report put out by Dianne Feinstein and her fellow Democrats may be partisan, one-sided, tendentious and “full of crap,” as Dick Cheney put […]

United We Distrust

President Obama recently spoke of the “simmering distrust” between many police departments and minority communities. The president is correct in his assessment, but dramatically understates the problem. Rather than being just a feature of the minority communities in our nation, distrust of law enforcement is widespread. Whether it’s the IRS targeting Tea Party groups, regulators […]

Using Allegations Of Rape In A Grab For Power

Nine males were accused of being part of a heinous rape. The alleged injustice fomented a mob mentality. An enraged community wanted to skip any talk of a serious investigation, never mind a trial, and go straight to the punishment. I’m not talking about the now-discredited allegations against fraternity members at the University of Virginia, […]

College President Has to Apologize for Saying “All Lives Matter”

Remember how, in the classic dystopian novel Animal Farm, equality for all animals gets turned into “some animals are more equal than others”? That may sound familiar when you read the story of Kathleen McCartney, president of Smith College, who was forced to apologize for sending an offensive e-mail saying “all lives matter”. Smith College […]

After Navy SEALs Were Told Not to Wear ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ Symbol, Navy Snagged These Sweet Football Uniforms

This Saturday is “America’s” game — the annual Army-Navy football game. And the Navy team is debuting some fiercely patriotic new uniforms, heavily featuring “Don’t Tread On Me”. In 2013, veteran Navy SEAL Carl Higbie shared an email that some of his former colleagues received, ordering them to no longer wear the “Don’t Tread On […]

Social Security Benefits Given to Illegal Aliens Under Obama Amnesty in Boehner Omnibus

Pages 958 and 959 of the 1,603-page omnibus spending bill from House Speaker John Boehner include a provision that gives Social Security benefits to illegal aliens under President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty. Boehner’s gall is incredible as he basically caves to Obama’s so called executive order AKA amnesty: The seemingly wonky legislative language in that […]

[VIDEO] While Describing what Obamacare Did to Her Husband, Congresswoman Holds Back Tears

“Were all of your statements a lie?” Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis to Jonathan Gruber, House Oversight Committee Testimony, 12.9.2014 Powerful statements. For a woman who lost her husband one week before the election, because Obamacare caused him to decline testing due to coverage issues, she controls her outrage towards Mr. Gruber surprisingly well: Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis […]

Egged On by Obama, Looting Continues

The supposedly peaceful demonstrators Obama has urged to “stay on course” have taken his advice; they are still at it. Near San Francisco: A group of protesters overwhelmed the police force in Emeryville Tuesday night, ransacking a Pak N Save store and stealing liquor and cigarettes from other stores, authorities said. Emeryville police spokesman Brian […]

Republicans Make Bold Stand on Light Bulbs, Cave on Amnesty and ObamaCare

Great news — Congress has discovered that the Founding Fathers granted it the power of the purse so as to prevent an unscrupulous president like Obama from establishing a de facto dictatorship. Look how boldly they temporarily rescued Thomas Edison’s iconic incandescent light bulb from being banned by liberals: [The recently unveiled funding] bill prohibits […]

The terrifying moment a skier lunged down a VERTICAL run in a 5 ft-wide crevice in the Alaskan wilderness and survived to tell the tale [Video]

“I’m getting a little nervous,” he says. You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s an incredible stunt and gets him fame and kudos, but face it folks… that’s a suicidal dive down that crevice. One wrong swish and you are toast. Rock is a very unforgiving embrace. A 31 year-old daredevil took the 30-second ski […]

MSNBC: Capitalism Is Oppressive And Like Totally Racist

Because the Big Government socialist/Progressive policies have worked oh so well for Blacks (Daily Caller) A guest on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” Wednesday told guest host Michael Eric Dyson that after activists deal with police brutality, they need to deal with “the oppressive force” of capitalism. (VIDEO: MSNBC Guest: ‘Foundation Of This Country Is Racism’ ) DYSON: […]

See the Exchange That Ensues After Bill O’Reilly Tells Hip Hop Mogul He’s Ignoring the ‘Astronomical Crime Rate Among Black Men’

From The Last Tradition   This is why there will never be a honest conversation on race because people like Russell Simmons never acknowledge self-inflected wounds in the black community. Russell Simmons is a disgrace to his race! The Blaze reports Fox News host Bill O’Reilly clashed with hip hop mogul Russell Simmons on Wednesday […]

VIDEO OF DICK CHENEY UNLEASHED: CIA Deserves Credit Because We Asked Them To “Catch B@stards who killed 3k Americans”

Dick Cheney didn’t pull ANY punches talking about the partisan “torture report” released by the Democrats. He said we asked the CIA to “Catch (the) b@stards who killed 3k Americans” and THEY DID. In an exclusive “Special Report” interview, Cheney called the report “a terrible piece of work” which is “deeply flawed.” Cheney discussed 9/11 […]

Welcome to TotCare: Obama’s Preschool Takeover

The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round, just like the endless cycles of big, bad government programs to federalize preschool and daycare. On Wednesday, the White House Summit on Early Education will unveil nearly $1 billion in new “investments” to “expand access to high-quality early childhood education to every child in America” from […]

Why release a report on the CIA in wartime?

What good purpose is served by releasing a report on CIA enhanced interrogation techniques while we are still at war with an enemy whose techniques include beheading Americans? Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and her Democratic colleagues say that the CIA lied about their tactics and exceeded their authority while seeking to obtain […]

The other America

Germany’s first chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, supposedly once said that there was “a special providence for drunkards, fools and the United States of America.” Apparently, late 19th century observers could not quite explain how the U.S. thrived when by logic it should not. That paradox has never been more true than today. The U.S. government […]

Will Islamic State wring its hands over torture? Not likely

The Islamic State doesn’t appear ready to follow our lead, so don’t expect it to release its report on the morality of severing American heads any time soon. Though they call themselves a state, they’re actually a mob of terrorists in Iraq and Syria. And when they’re not severing the heads of Westerners and Syrian […]

Crippling Children By Selling Them Racism

The recent “rash” of police officers killing blacks is prompting “civil rights activists” to describe America — despite the election and re-election of a black president — as still a simmering caldron of racism. Never mind that according to the CDC, in 2012 (the most recent year with available data) 140 blacks were killed by […]

Is America Headed For A Soviet-Style Collapse?

Hey, did you see U.S. President Barack Obama yukking it up on “The Colbert Report” this week, reminding Americans how much fun he’d be to have a beer with to help forget all the challenges being fumbled by his administration? Sorry to be such a killjoy, but according to the International Monetary Fund, China just […]
