Corrupt Media Knew About Michael Brown Video: Rush Limbaugh- Drive-Bys Knew About Video Of ‘Strong-Arm Robbery’ By Michael Brown In Ferguson

Ferguson is yet another example of how the media no longer reports the news but rather puts out politically motivated stories that suits the Liberal agenda.   White cop shooting an unarmed African American is a classic boiler plate template the media loves to go with. And the Michael Brown shooting allowed the media to […]

Rioters Go Crazy In Ferguson Yet Again

Americans to Obama: Enforcement Not Amnesty

With Congress mercifully away on its August recess, now is a good time to evaluate what’s happened and what might happen regarding the ever-contentious, endless immigration haggle. President Obama has more than once promised to issue a far-reaching executive order amnesty that would grant legal status and work permits to between 5-10 million aliens. While […]

Fidelity to Principle Can Make Needed Flexibility Impossible

Politicians have ranges of positions of varying widths that they find acceptable. Hillary Clinton, like her husband, has a very wide range of stands she finds acceptable, depending on timing and circumstances. President Obama’s range of acceptable positions has been far narrower. This is reflected in their attitudes about military action in Iraq. Clinton was […]

POLLACK: Is This All There Is?

When I was a kid, there was a hauntingly beautiful Peggy Lee song played over and over on the radio called “Is That All There Is”.

Michael Brown was a criminal

  Does this look like a law abiding citizen? I see a violent man who took something that didn’t belong to him. That’s called stealing. It happens to be one of the 10 Commandments you’re not supposed to break. And Michael Brown broke it with ease. Like he didn’t care!   Originally posted at The […]

Vet Kicked Out of Six Flags for Wearing Patriotic Shirt

Meanwhile, as some in New Jersey fly the flag of ISIS, others are not allowed into amusement parks because of their patriotic shirts: Mario Alejandro was ready for a fight when he was part of the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. Where he did not expect […]

Rob Reiner Compares Tea Party to Hamas, Calls for Its Elimination

Archie Bunker had good reason to refer to Rob Reiner as “Meathead”: Hollywood director and liberal activist Rob Reiner told talk-show host Larry King that the Tea Party is like the terrorist group Hamas, because apparently both groups are extreme and cannot be negotiated with, and the only solution is to make them go away […]

ICE: Cartels Are Now Using Grenades at the Border

Obama is dancing while America burns — literally. With illegals flooding over the border, the cartels are gaining a foothold too, and now, the cartels are armed with grenades. Mexican drug cartels, whose trafficking efforts into the U.S. have grown bolder amid the border crisis, are increasingly utilizing a frightening weapon in their arsenal: the […]

Morsi’s Wife Threatening to Publish Letters Exposing Hillary Clinton’s “Special Relationship” With Muslim Brotherhood

Democrats are practically salivating at the chance to crown Hillary in 2016, seemingly forgetting how many enemies the Clintons have made over the years. One of those is apparently Nagla Mahmoud, wife of Muhammad Morsi, and she’s threatening to publish letters that would reveal Clinton’s relationship with the Muslim brotherhood. The wife of former Egyptian […]

Washington Post: Ferguson Police Response Demands An Investigation

And an act of Congress? Here’s the Editorial Board FROM THE chief of the police department to the president of the United States, government officials on Thursday promised a different approach to the racially charged unrest in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

Meet the Cops Who Gave Their Lives

If you’ve been watching cable news, reading Hollywood celebrities’ tweets and listening to race-hustling opportunists, you might think that every police officer in America has a finger on the trigger, hunting for any excuse to gun down defenseless youths. This hysterical nonsense must be stopped. The Cirque du Cop-Bashing, with Al Sharpton as ringmaster, is […]

America’s selective libertarianism

There’s an old rule in journalism: All you need are three good examples to prove a trend. And by that measure, writer Robert Draper had more than he needed to declare a new “libertarian moment” in American politics. In a New York Times Magazine cover story, Draper made exactly that case. His chief evidence: Young […]

Obama’s Incomprehensible Iraq Policy Not So Incomprehensible

I am constantly amazed at the tendency of some to use the perspective of hindsight to condemn decisions of those who did not possess the supernatural gift of predictive prophecy at the time they made their decisions. So when a friend asked whether I believe that those who supported George W. Bush’s decision to attack […]

In 1970, we had a Riot; Ferguson Looks Like War

The news from Ferguson, Missouri, has brought back unpleasant memories from the long-ago riots in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was the summer of 1970, and I was a young teenager close enough to the action to be appropriately frightened. The riots I remember were also fueled by racial grievances, and there were similar issues […]
