Warmists Go On Witch Hunt, Force Professor Bengtsson To Resign

Don’t forget, Warmists, who are part of the Progressive movement, as self-professed as the Most Tolerant People On The Planet. No dissent is allowed (Cato) An interesting juxtaposition of items appeared in our Inbox today. First was an announcement that Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, former director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, had resigned from […]

Death Penalty Opponents, Have I Got A Deal For You!

As described in last week’s column, The New York Times and other sanctimonious news outlets censored details about the crime that put Clayton Lockett on death row, the better to generate revulsion at his deserved execution. You might say they buried the facts alive. For example, the Times neglected to mention anything about the raping […]

Modern world is still premodern in many ways

Nigeria’s homegrown, al-Qaeda-linked militant group, Boko Haram, brags openly that it recently kidnapped about 300 young Nigerian girls. It boasts that it will sell them into sexual slavery. Those terrorists have a long and unapologetic history of murdering kids who dare to enroll in school, and Christians in general. For years, Western aid groups have […]

Today’s College Motto: Shut Up Already

First the censorious left went after Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born critic of Islam’s treatment of women, after Brandeis University had invited her to receive an honorary degree. Bowing to political correctness, Brandeis rescinded the invitation. Then the academic mob went after Rutgers’ choice for commencement speaker, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She withdrew. […]

The sultan recently imposed Sharia on the citizens of this small country in Southeast Asia with a population of less than 500,000. The law includes the punishment of death for any who engages in the “crime” of homosexuality or adultery. Jay […]

Washington Hates Carrots, Loves Sticks

A widely-held maxim tells us that money tends to flow from where it is treated badly to where it is treated well. This trend has taken center stage in the ongoing battle between U.S. states to attract and retain top employers. In that conflict, high tax states like California have been losing ground to relatively […]

Free speech not so free when discussing gay rights

Once, Social Security was the “third rail” of politics. Touch it and face political death. Now it is homosexuality. Criticize anything gay people do and you risk ostracism, fines, suspension or loss of your livelihood. Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be drafted by a National Football League team — the St. Louis […]

Karl Rove’s boneheaded swipe at Hillary Clinton

Many of you know that I’m not Hillary Clinton’s biggest fan. But I would never question whether she was right in the head. Instead, what bothers me is that dark, crusty clump of carbon that some may confuse with a soul. Before crazed hordes of Benghazi Deniers (in and out of journalism) shout me down […]

Vet. Admin Outrage is Harbinger of Obamacare

The scandal at the Veteran’s Administration (VA) is growing every week. As each new VA hospital is revealed to have made sick veterans wait so long for care that many died while waiting, and then subsequently covered up the truth, we all must come to grips with the fact that this is Obamacare writ large. […]

Mainstream Media Shows No Interest in Warren Buffett Giving $1.2 Billion to Abortion Groups

Yesterday, on the 1-year anniversary of abortionist Kermit Gosnell getting convicted of first-degree murder for the horrors that took place in his neonatal abattoir, there appeared another story we can count on the liberal establishment media to spike. Crony capitalist zillionaire Warren Buffett – a favorite among his fellow liberals because he calls for higher […]

Obama Claims Illegal Alien Enforcement Isn’t Smart

I wonder if Obama will jump in on the latest Alec Baldwin controversy, where the NYPD stopped him for going the wrong way on his bicycle and they were going to ticket him. That’s right. Ticket him. Supposedly, he got snappy and they arrested him. I’d be ticked if I was going to get a […]

Cash for Obamacare Shirkers

When Obamacare operatives aren’t busy trashing the private health insurance market and squandering billions on useless technology, they’re busy … being idle. File the latest example of government health care profligacy under “Caution: Your tax dollars not at work.” According to at least one Obamacare paper-pusher, employees at an application-processing center in Wentzville, Mo., are […]

Marriage: It’s Complicated

It’s wedding season! More Americans get married in June than in other months. Why June? The timing seems pretty arbitrary if you look up its history. Some claim it’s because June was named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Others say it’s because in the 1500s, people took their annual bath in May, which […]
