The New York Times reports that House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy is considered “the best hope” to win passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress after he becomes majority leader in July. It’s sort of quaint how the Gray Lady wants to believe in miracles. If a comprehensive bill — such as the […]
It is a line I have used to open speeches on the lecture circuit for years and it never fails to get a laugh: “I’m happy to be here tonight from Washington, D.C., where the only politicians with convictions are in prison.” That’s only partially true. Democrats have convictions. They know what to do with […]
The American financial establishment has an incredible ability to celebrate the inconsequential while ignoring the vital. Last week, while the Wall Street Journal pondered how the Fed may set interest rates three to four years in the future (an exercise that David Stockman rightly compared to debating how many angels could dance on the head […]
What should Republican lawmakers do about immigration? That’s been a simmering source of controversy ever since George W. Bush’s push for so-called comprehensive immigration legislation, with legalization and enforcement provisions, in 2006. Most liberals and many economic conservatives argued that support for such legislation was a political imperative for Republicans. Otherwise, they would continue to […]
Among Republicans, the debate over America’s proper world role is vigorous. Sen. Rand Paul blames the current disarray in Iraq on George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. “Were they right in their predictions? Were there weapons of mass destruction there? Was the war won in 2005, when many of those people said it was won?” […]
Oklahoma recently took action to protect the state’s children from the federal education bureaucracy by withdrawing from Common Core. Common Core is the latest attempt to bribe states, with money taken from the American people, into adopting a curriculum developed by federal bureaucrats and education “experts.”: In exchange for federal funds, states must change their […]
Before same-sex marriage became the chief focus and the courts made it an easy-to-accomplish goal, civil unions were the refuge for legal homosexual partnerships. Civil unions are defined as a civil or registered partnership that is legally recognized by governments as something that is similar to marriage. After the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013’s U.S. […]
Common sense wins in Florida for a change: Lawmakers approved the so-called “Pop-Tart” bill after an 8-year-old Maryland boy earned a suspension for biting a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun last year. The boy later received a lifetime membership to the National Rifle Association, which supported the legislation. State Sen. Greg Evers (R), […]

The Health and Human Services contraception mandate has sent shockwaves through the religious community, who are grappling with not violating their religious beliefs or facing financial ruin. Thankfully, one Christian university has just won their case, keeping their religion freedom in tact. In a carefully reasoned opinion, the court ruled that the Health and Human […]
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union was quite generous in financing left-wing activist groups, so as to weaken the West from within. The tradition continues. From the firewalled Financial Times, via NRO: Russian intelligence agencies are covertly funding and working with European environmental groups to campaign against fracking and maintain EU dependence on Russian […]
Everyone knows that the planet is getting dangerously warmer as a result of insufficient taxation and regulation. That’s because everyone has been told wicked lies. Even temperature data is fabricated: [N]ow another damning example has been uncovered by Steven Goddard’s US blog Real Science, showing how shamelessly manipulated has been one of the world’s most […]
I’m sure life is already not very easy for single Mosul women but a recent letter was released saying that the unmarried women are required to ‘fulfill their duty’ by coming forward and reward the Mujahideen with sex for helping the Ninevah province. Translation courtesy of a friend from Kurdistan… (entire letter is SIC) In […]
The March for Marriage is this week, on Friday, and the Coalition of African American Pastors president Reverend Billy Owens spoke to Tim Constantine of the Tea Party News Network about the march, as well as Barack Obama and the moral decay of our society. And Rev. Owens had some harsh words for our president. […]
When President Barack Hussein Obama picked Joe Biden to be his number two man, we were all told that it was because good ol’ Joe was the U.S. Senate’s “expert” on foreign policy. He was supposed to act as Obama’s right hand man in an area that Obama had no experience whatsoever. So, with disaster […]

No wonder people living in the most prosperous part of world feel like they’re truly poor when people like Hillary Clinton says she’s not ‘ truly well off’ in America with millions of dollars at her disposal. Via Business Insider: Hillary Clinton’s multimillion dollar fortune has caused some negative headlines during the media tour for […]
There have been rumblings for years that Hillary Clinton’s health isn’t as rosy as she would like us all to believe. And a new book is giving details about what they claim is to blame for all of the rumors, claiming that Hillary has a bad heart and blood clots, as well as a fainting […]
The left consistently blames guns for school shootings, while mostly ignoring the big elephant in the room: mental illness. Up until the 1960s, the severely mentally ill were locked up in psychiatric hospitals, for their own good and for the protection of society. The ACLU and the left changed that, by successfully suing to […]
I hope they do use it for the 2014 elections: pushing “climate change” rules and laws hasn’t worked out so well for politicians around the world as of late (see what happened to Australia’s Labor Party). Furthermore, it would make an interesting contrast as the Democrat politicians run all around in fossil fueled vehicles campaigning […]
Sheriff Joe is off the reservation (UK Daily Mail) Vice President Joe Biden threatened reporters Saturday with a water gun.

Most people think George W. Bush’s big mistake in Iraq was not finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Of course, we did find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They just weren’t the ones we were looking for when we went in. Saddam had old WMD’s stockpiled that have now fallen into the hands […]
California superior court decision, which struck down teacher tenure law in California public schools, is good news for everyone worried about America’s future.

With the success of this lawsuit, similar suits can be anticipated […]
I apologize in advance for some of the terminology in this column. Much of it may make you angry, upset or downright sick to your stomach. It’s not that I use the name “Washington Redskins,” it’s that I talk about the Internal Revenue Service on page 2. Again, apologies. This week the American people were […]
You know liberals are really grasping at straws when they pull this crap. An Obama-appointed judge claims that the border fence has a “disparate impact” on “minority communities.” Since when are illegal immigrants residing in foreign countries an American “community,” let alone an oppressed community? A Homeland Security initiative to put fencing along the U.S.-Mexico […]

Olgin died at the scene, and Chapa survived with a brain injury. The girls were discovered in the park the next day. Strickland faces capital […]
Illegal immigrants who committed crimes in their home countries are being allowed to start over–in US neighborhoods. Of all the immigrants we could welcome into this country, the Obama administration favors gang-bangers and drug dealers, apparently. According to an investigation by Action 4 Newsin Harlingen, Texas, underage gang members are being released without supervision into […]
