Trigger warning: I am going to make fun of “trigger warnings.” Of course, if you’re the sort of person who takes trigger warnings very seriously, you probably don’t read this column too often. So maybe my mockery will miss its target, sort of like making fun of the Amish on the Internet — it’s not […]
The Food and Drug Administration has just loudly re-endorsed perhaps the oldest truth in science–that the dose makes the poison. Paracelsus, the father of toxicology, told us 500 years ago, “All substances are poison. There is none which is not a poison.

American liberals always point to the smarter, better, more caring Europeans as the model for us to follow. But Eastern Europe’s destitute and diseased forgotten citizens might disagree with the claim that Europe is so much better and enlightened than we are as they are forced to live underground and shunned by society. The Daily […]
Apparently schools are getting some stuff in their spines and looking for ways to shed Michelle Obama’s unpopular and bland school lunch rules.

As the Associated Press […]
Obama is sneaking a backdoor gun ban on the nation by pushing new regulations that forces banks and lenders to refuse to loan money to firearm oriented businesses. Calling their businesses “high risk,” this is just another defacto gun ban. Despite the fact that every state now has its own concealed carry law and despite […]
There are almost no medical procedures that a minor child can have done without parental consent — yet for some reason, abortion advocates consistently work to deny parents their rights and allow children to have access to birth control and abortion without the knowledge or consent of their parents. One hospital in Colorado is an […]
When you want to help the poor, do you choose to donate your hard-earn money through a church, run by people devoted to God, or through private charities that climb into bed with Big Government? If you are having a hard time deciding, this story might help: Federal employees and a contractor diverted more than […]
Why do so many rich people support socialists like Obama? Are they really willing to give up their comfy lifestyle for an ideology that most of them are smart enough to understand has zero validity? No. To understand the limousine liberal, look to the Third World model for Hope & Change, post–Hugo Chavez Venezuela: The […]

Taking a page out of the political handbook of every fascist society and dystopian Sci Fi novel, Michelle Obama is telling kids to monitor their parents for crimes against the state.

Once upon a time, abortion activists used the catchphrase “safe, legal, and rare” as a way to sell people the pro-abortion cause — but make no mistakes, they never actually believed it. The goal has always been to get people to have as many abortions as possible, as former abortion clinic director Carol Everett explains: […]
The big question is, how does this administration have any credibility left? Can you imagine the response had any of Bush’s press secretaries tried this? (Real Clear Politics) JIM ACOSTA, CNN: When was the president first made aware of these problems? Of these fraudulent lists that were being kept to hide the wait times, when […]
Obama’s Big Libyan Adventure is working out so well!

Usually when we talk about the harm illegal aliens do to Americans, we discuss the economic issues. They take jobs from Americans, they depress wages, they use services without paying taxes, they have kids here to leech off the taxpayers….it goes on and on. We also talk about the rule of law. After all, we […]
Many years ago, in upstate New York, there was a lady who was caught in a fierce snow storm that produced conditions called a “whiteout.” That’s when the snow is falling so thick and fast that all you can see in any direction is just sheer white. This lady wandered around in the storm, struggling […]
I am at a loss to understand what constructive purpose first lady Michelle Obama (and Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others) hopes to achieve by constantly talking about the race issue. Last Friday, Michelle Obama chose to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling — in […]
Academia is hell. In the latest higher-education fad, students want “trigger warnings,” according to The New York Times. It appears that some students are so fragile that they want university staff to protect them from big bad ideas. Students around the country say they want “explicit alerts that the material they are about to read […]
One of the biggest questions at the end of 2013 was how the Treasury market would react to the reduction of bond buying that would result from the Federal Reserve’s tapering campaign. If the Fed were to hold course to its stated intentions, its $45 billion monthly purchases of Treasury bonds would be completely wound […]
Is the election of a pro-business, pro-American, growth-oriented prime minister in the world’s largest democracy good news or bad news for the world’s oldest democracy? We in that oldest democracy are currently governed by the Democrats, a party that has more in common with the defeated Congress party in India than with the victorious Bharatiya […]

Rove was quoted as […]

LONDON — British politics has a familiar look to Americans, with a center-right Conservative Party and a center-left Labour Party resembling America’s Republicans and Democrats. Britain’s parliamentary system, however, presents a contrast with the U.S. Constitution on the surface. A prime minister whose party has a majority in the House of Commons can pass […]
