Though racial discrimination exists, it is nowhere near the barrier it once was. The relevant question is: How much of what we see today can be explained by racial discrimination? This is an important question because if we conclude that racial discrimination is the major cause of black problems when it isn’t, then effective solutions […]
It should have been a no-brainer for the U.S. and Russia to cooperate to fight Islamic radicals in the Middle East. But even if you place the high-jump bar on the ground, some people will still manage to trip over it — then insist on going back and tripping over it again. Everything was perfectly […]
The vast majority of Americans have never met Phil Weinberg. But that isn’t because he’s unimportant. It’s because he is: important. Like millions of Americans who toil largely in anonymity, participating daily in acts of courage and generosity, Phil has never been on CNN or Fox News; while he subscribes to The Wall Street Journal, he’s […]
While President Obama dithers, Congress needs to act against ISIS. House and Senate leaders should reconvene Congress this week and take the unprecedented step of authorizing military action against ISIS for Obama’s signature. Customarily, a president takes the first step, presenting a draft Authorization for the Use of Military Force (similar to a declaration of […]
I never liked it when George W. Bush used the term “evildoers” to describe al-Qaeda and other terrorists. A lot of other people objected as well, but for different reasons. I didn’t like the term because it always sounded to me like he was saying “evil Dewar’s,” as in the blended Scotch. (This always made […]
What’s a firewall? It’s an impenetrable barrier meant to stop an undesirable action. In politics, consider the example of the 1988 United States presidential race. After several embarrassing defeats in early primaries, then-Vice President George H.W. Bush’s campaign manager announced to staff and supporters that South Carolina and its influential primary would be the firewall […]

To the Jackie Robinson West All-Stars: Boys, I’m hoping you can forgive us grown-ups for some of the nonsense coming out of our mouths after the Little League World Series. Some of us are gushing sympathy and tenderness at you, and that’s the last thing a good ballplayer wants to hear. You’re champions. You’re the […]
Ralph Weens IV just wanted to eat at the Waffle House, but when he got in an argument with people who were angry over the Mike Brown shooting. While he left for the Huddle House, a crowd of 20 people followed him: West Point police said a man received life-threatening injuries in what they are […]
Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney said this is no different than Benghazi. The attack is coming, and the Obama administration is downplaying it for an election: Steve Doocy and Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney (Ret.) discussed the apparent shift by the Obama administration over the past few days. McInerney agreed that someone from […]
Anyone who’s paying attention isn’t surprised. More guns, less crime: Since concealed carry firearm permits were legalized in Chicago earlier this year, the city has seen an almost immediate drop in many major gun-related offenses. Though residents say they feel “less safe” with more legal guns on the streets, the numbers regarding their safety tell […]
Sometimes I read articles that make me so angry that I want to spit nails. This is one of those. A couple in Alabama raped an underage relative multiple times hoping that the girl, who was mentally incapacitated, would get pregnant and give them a baby, police said. Jeremy Swann, 29, and wife Amanda Swann, […]
We’ve known since at least George McGovern’s candidacy in 1972 that the Democrat Party is driven by looney left extremists. Until recently, they managed to keep themselves relatively in check so as to have a prayer of winning elections. But due to an alarming and possibly terminal shift in America’s demographics, that may no longer […]
Al Sharpton isn’t the only race hustler looking to cash in on the civil unrest in Ferguson — Jesse Jackson is busy making sure people remember that he exists, too, and is ready to gin up some race riots just like his other race-hustler-in-arms. Unfortunately for Jesse Jackson, though, Ben Carson was there to be […]
Enjoy the online world while you can. Soon we will look back on these days as the Golden Age of Internet Freedom. Already Big Government is taking alarming steps to assert control: The federal government is spending nearly $1 million to create an online database that will track “misinformation” and hate speech on Twitter. “Misinformation” […]
Liberals’ favorite pastime is to cry racism in every situation, sort of like how some people like to collect stamps or play Monopoly. The latest example has been the outrage has been over the so-called “racist” name of Washington’s NFL team, the Redskins — and Native Americans are crying foul. In reaction from white Democrat […]
Westboro Baptist Church serves as nothing more than a disgusting, festering boil on humanity that we have to put up with solely because murder is wrong. After announcing that they planned to picket Robin Williams’ funeral, comedian Adam Hills called them out and said he would send them to Iraq to protest in Baghdad — […]
I call this whoredom for social media stardom. A woman who pleaded guilty to tossing a lit firework out of a car and starting a massive wildfire —to help her firefighter mates out who were ‘bored’ has been fined $7million, and then bragged about it on Facebook. Sadie Renee Johnson, 23, pleaded guilty last year […]
Mr. Krauthammer had an interesting take on Obama and his administrations inability to get it together in terms of ISIS/ISIL (Fox News) Last week, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said ISIS was an imminent threat, but Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said Monday that the group was not a direct threat to the U.S. […]
When Michael Brown died he was holding a box of stolen cigars he lifted from a convenience. The criminal act was caught on video sealing his true legacy as a thief. When Cardell Williamson died he might have been holding a baby rattle because he was only 20 months old. It’s pretty hard not […]
I mentioned the potential deal where Burger King would join forces with Canadian company Tim Hortons, which would mean the headquarters of the company would be in Canada and their corporate tax rate would be significantly lower than the US rate. Noah Rothman tongue in cheek referred to BK as an Enemy Of The State, […]
This is just unacceptable. Despite IRS officials’ sworn testimony and affidavits to the contrary, a DOJ attorney has learned there is a backup system where Lois Lerner’s emails are stored. So why haven’t they been produced, pursuant to subpoena and court order? Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton explained on Fox News this afternoon: A Department of […]
I feel sorry for Millennials. We are leaving them an almost insurmountable debt, an American Dream that seems tarnished, and chances are, they’re not going to have it as good as their parents. However, we’ve done something even worse to these kids. We’ve left far too much of their education in life to Hollywood, musicians, […]
The political left has been campaigning against the use of force since at least the 18th century. So it is not surprising that they are now arguing that heavily armed or aggressive police forces only inflame protesters and thus provoke violence. Statisticians have long warned that correlation is not causation, but they have apparently warned […]
Last week, I built a case for how the Islamic State’s monstrous brutalities include the summary killing of men, women and children, including by crucifixion. That was before the world heard of the beheading of courageous U.S. journalist James Foley, which demonstrated just how psychotic and cruel the Islamic State is. Today I will build […]
One does not need to be Sun Tzu or George Patton to know that a nation must recognize an enemy before it can develop a strategy to defeat it. But one apparently does have to be someone other than President Barack Obama. Since he took office, Obama has spent considerable energy trying to convince us […]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told the Asian Chamber of Commerce last week: “The Asian population is so productive. I don’t think you’re smarter than anybody else, but you’ve convinced a lot of us you are.” In remarks videotaped by the GOP group America Rising, Reid also joked that he has trouble keeping his “Wongs […]
