Send in the clowns?

Coulrophobia is a terrible condition that can strike anyone, at any time, but especially if you’re within reach of a weird grown man with white face makeup, perhaps a wig, floppy shoes and a big red nose. Coulrophobia is best known by another name: clown fear. And many are in fear these days, as gangs […]

Jay Carney to GOP: Your Party Is Racist — and ‘You Know It’

Former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, now a political commentator for CNN, casually admitted that, yes, his party uses race to convince minorities that Republicans seek to oppress them. Before the midterm election, Carney said: “Republicans are going to pick up seats in the Senate and the House, and they may win control […]

Iran nuclear talks like bargaining with the devil

Having missed a July deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, the six world powers party to the talks — the United States, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom and Germany — have set November 24 as their new deadline. Iran says there will be no extension if a deal isn’t reached. […]

Is Chinese strategy the key to defeating Islamic State?

PARIS — While the U.S. and its allies are struggling to figure out how to stop the Islamic State from metastasizing throughout the Middle East and beyond, China has been conspicuously absent from the containment efforts. Given that China is the largest beneficiary of oil contracts in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq, you have to wonder why […]

U-turn at America’s Ballot Boxes

Tuesday was a beauteous night. Republicans won the Senate handily, picked up 14 House seats and won gubernatorial races in Massachusetts, Maryland and Illinois. Good times. Two big losers weren’t on the ballot. San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer’s super PAC, the NextGen Climate, blew through $65 million to help Democrats who agree with him on […]

House Taken Over

Property rights are the foundation of civilization. The primary purpose of government is to secure them. Without property rights, we end up living in a world like this: A Queens man charged with stealing a woman’s house out from under her is out on bail — and back in her house, the Daily News has […]

Mississippi voters add right to hunt and fish to their state constitution

While I’m all for hunting and fishing, I consider this more of a Second Amendment issue. Mississippi now joins 17 others states that have made hunting and fishing a right: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The amendment to Mississippi’s Constitution […]

Daughter discovered her mother ‘paid a hit man $11,000 to kill her boyfriend and throw his body to alligators’ after reading about her arrest on FACEBOOK

Any bets on her leaning Leftward? An unhinged, violent social worker in New York – I mean, what are the odds? It sounds to me as if her daughter was emotionally a wreck… crying and being upset all the time about her ex-boyfriend. Who knows, he probably was verbally and emotionally abusive – she should […]

Harry Reid Tells Us What The GOP Wave Is Really About

I was hunting around for the Alison Grimes concession speech that has Democrats roasting her, and ran across this, possibly one of the dumbest comments made about the Wave Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid congratulated McConnell on the Republican victory in a statement Tuesday night. “The message from voters is clear: they want us to […]

NY Times Editorial Board Already In Sour Grapes Mode

Yes they are Negativity Wins the Senate Republicans would like the country to believe that they took control of the Senate on Tuesday by advocating a strong, appealing agenda of job creation, tax reform and spending cuts. But, in reality, they did nothing of the sort. Even the voters who supported Republican candidates would have […]

Thom Tillis Takes NC Senate Seat, GOP Makes It A Rout

Excellent news. North Carolina could have certainly done worse than Kay Hagan: we could have had a Chuck Schumer, Harry, Reid, or Al Franken. But, Kay was all about the Democrat Party and Obama’s agenda, rather than what was important to North Carolina. We’ll see if Thom Tillis puts NC first (WRAL) Republican state House […]

Loss Democrats Hate Most: GOPer Mia Love wins race for Utah’s 4th Congressional District, Makes History

I guarantee with all the bad news Democrats got last night losing control of the Senate, this loss makes them the angriest. There’s nothing Democrats hates more than Conservative African Americans. It upsets their whole playbook that Blacks are only supposed to vote Democrat from birth. They don’t want the notion spreading in the black […]

CONSERVATIVES: After You See All These Firsts & Numbers From Election Night, You’ll Feel EVEN BETTER

Is GOP Ready for Obama’s Attorney General Fight?

Gird your loins, Beltway Republicans. Election Day is barely over, but the progressive left is locked and loaded for battle over President Obama’s next U.S. attorney general. Liberals unhappy with the administration’s failure to deliver a mass illegal alien amnesty fast enough want a consolation prize. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus sent Obama a demand letter […]

Electing Liberty

I watch election results to gauge whether America has become freer or more tyrannical. It’s hard to know whether Tuesday’s results will make much difference. Often, individual liberty erodes in ways that neither major political party much cares about. Last weekend, I suffered through the New York Marathon. I suffered not because I ran 26.2 […]

Scholar-Athlete Charade

Last year’s column “Dishonest Educators” (1/9/2013) reported on the largest school cheating scandal in U.S. history. In more than three-quarters of the 56 Atlanta schools investigated, teachers changed student answers on academic achievement tests. Cheating orders came directly from school administrators. The cheating was brazen. One teacher told a colleague, “I had to give your […]
