Louisiana Governor is Booting Abortion Business From Schools

Bobby Jindal is drawing the line between businesses who promote and profit from abortion and the business of educating children in schools. I am sure a black robed judicial activist (judge) already has a legal opine ready to overturn the legislation. Via Townhall Louisiana, with Governor Bobby Jindal behind the wheel, has taken the lead […]

AFP’s TXOnline 2014 in Pictures (18 Pics)

This week-end, Kemberlee Kaye at Americans for Prosperity flew me out to Houston, Texas for the first TXOnline. The first night, we partied at Melissa Clouthier’s house and then on Day 2 and 3, we settled into the conference. What follows are the pictures along with a few relevant tweets. Enjoy! “I wasn’t just a […]

How a Progressive Leftist says “I’m too cheap to tip.”

Have you ever wondered why progressives hate to see a working man be successful? This has been circulating on Teh Twitters and Teh Reddits. Progressives goal to make America a place filled with mediocre losers is having an affect on American children by stripping away their desire to achieve. No server in their right mind […]

The Ambassador and the Post Office

At one time, people in India had to get on a waiting list to buy Hindustan Motors’ Ambassador automobile, even though it was an obvious copy of Britain’s Morris Oxford of some decades earlier. The reason was simple: the Indian government would not allow cars to be imported to compete with it. The fact that […]

89-Year-Old Vet Waits 68 Years for Benefits

I almost lost my Texas cool this past week when reading a Fox News report about an 89-year-old wounded World War II veteran who had to wait 68 years from the time he was on the battlefield until he received benefits. And you thought long waits and mishandling of veterans care was only a recent […]

Obama Sprinting to Finish Line to ‘Transform’ America

It obviously doesn’t bother President Obama a whit to usurp congressional power to impose more draconian environmental regulations — and probably not much more to do so in an election year, even when his action will hurt Democrats. What’s he going to do now, you ask? Well, his Environmental Protection Agency, in deference to and […]

Saving Sgt. Bergdahl

Speaking to graduates at West Point (New York), President Barack Obama tooted on his toy horn, “al-Qaida’s leadership on the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been decimated.” Even that slender boast — just on the border regions? — is now vitiated. The five Taliban terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. […]

Democrats’ Nightmare Scenario for 2016

Last week I set out a 2016 nightmare scenario for Republicans — not one that seems likely, but one that can be extrapolated from current polling. In that spirit, let me set out a 2016 nightmare scenario for Democrats — again, not likely but a plausible extrapolation. It assumes, first of all, that Hillary Clinton […]

Who’s Racist?

No day passes without a Democratic politician, a left-wing commentator, or, if I may be excused a redundancy, a left-wing academic labeling Republicans and conservatives racist. Given the power of repetition, one consequence is that many Americans, especially young ones, believe that one side of the political spectrum — the right — is racist. Having […]

Another Massacre, Another Meaningless Blame Game

In the aftermath of a terrible tragedy we always look for someone or something to blame. In the case of the Isla Vista, California, massacre in which six college students were murdered and 13 others wounded, the blame game started almost immediately. Most of the criticism was misdirected. This mass murder was not due to […]

Mental Health Screening a Good Way to Decrease Liberty

Last week Americans were shocked and saddened by another mass killing, this one near a college campus in California. We all feel deep sympathy for the families of the victims. As usual, many people responded to this shooting by calling for new federal gun control laws, including the mental health screening of anyone attempting to […]

Negotiating with terrorists

Euphoria over the Taliban’s release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was quickly tempered by media reports that Bergdahl had abandoned his post and that his father made comments opposing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bergdahl’s father tweeted, “I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every […]

Medicare Will Now Cover Sex Change Operations

As Big Government tightens it grip on healthcare, the field will increasing reflect the values of the liberal ruling class. Already, neglected vets are dying of treatable diseases, while bureaucrats announce that taxpayers will now foot the bill for sex change operations: Transgender people receiving Medicare may no longer be automatically denied coverage for sex […]

Polar Bear Specialists Admit They Invented Population Numbers

As for those polar bears allegedly menaced by insufficient bureaucratic suppression of economic activity — the ones that if shrieking warmists weren’t full of baloney would have been extinct by now: Researchers with the IUCN [International Union for Conservation of Nature] Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) recently admitted to experienced zoologist and polar bear specialist […]
