Demography is destiny, we are often told, and rightly — up to a point. The American electorate is made up of multiple identifiable segments, defined in various ways, by race and ethnicity, by age cohort, by region and religiosity (or lack thereof), by economic status and interest. Over time, some segments become larger and some […]
What will they ban next taco tuesday? Every year across the nation, several Pi Beta Phi sorority chapters host all-you-can-eat “Pi Phiesta” taco bar fundraisers at their respective campuses to raise money for charity. But that longstanding tradition, typically held around Cinco de Mayo, is in jeopardy. In the past few weeks, pressure from a […]
A poll released last week reported that 7 percent of American journalists say they are Republicans. The survey also found that the news force is aging, having a median age of 47. And 62 percent of journalists are men. A mere 8.5 percent of full-timers are minorities. Less than 1 in 4 are “very satisfied” […]
It’s a cliche to say that Washington, D.C., is “out of touch” with voters, but there’s something to it. Arguably, in 2012, the Republican Party seemed focused on a subject — debt — that wasn’t a high priority for average Americans. Sincere Republicans (including this columnist) believe it should be. Nations that cannot pay their […]
I have great respect for the humility displayed by Pope Francis, but in his latest call for the “legitimate” redistribution of wealth, he has it backward. Instead of taking more money from those who have earned it, he should advocate for creating new wealth. If the money I have earned, saved, invested and spent responsibly […]

Well trained service dog, ‘Major’, proved his merit when he saved his owner recently. ZANESVILLE (Lu Ann Stoia/Dawn Faugl) – A United States Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan says his dog “Major” is a hero. That’s because the labrador retreiver-pit bull mix mutt called 911 when Terry McGlade collapsed from a seizure. McGlade […]
This won’t surprise anyone familiar with the effect Big Government has on everything it touches. Under Obama, the Feds “rescued” General Motors, transforming it into Government Motors, rather than letting capitalism take its course, which might have allowed GM to get out from under its insane union contracts and once again become a viable company. […]
The reason militant gays and their cultural Marxist allies have been able to transform the mainstream culture into something that would have appalled any normal person only a few years ago is that no one has the guts to stand up to them. Two more companies deserve a conspicuous place on the dishonor roll, right […]
Michael Sams fans are being called out for their hypocrisy over Sams activism being about more than the game of football. Florida State linebacker DeMarcus Walker tweeted this out last night after Missouri standout Michael Sam was picked in the NFL draft. He nailed it. Via Twitchy: Y’all praise Michael Sam for being gay but […]
Evidently, wiretapping is perfectly acceptable — as long as it’s the government doing it to us. The other way around? Well, that can land a person in jail, as one woman unfortunately found out. Springfield Police Capt. Harry Kastrinakis said 24-year-old Karen Dziewit of Chicopee was drinking in front of 140 Chestnut Street shortly before […]
Proof that liberals can see racism everywhere they look, a liberal columnist has written a piece saying that Obama isn’t the only President that white racists attacked. They “racialized” Bill Clinton, too. On May 8, one of The Atlantic’s race-centric writers, Ta-Nehisi Coates, felt the need to disagree with another writer for his publication by […]
6 Years ago Barack Obama promised a transparent and open government policy. After getting elected he even had a special page put up on the Whitehouse website about what that meant. Unfortunately the Unites States Government and all of it’s agencies have proven since to be anything but honest or transparent. Department of Homeland Security […]
Considering how intent the Obama administration has been on dismantling our military, it’s not exactly surprising that honoring two fallen heroes from the Vietnam War wasn’t a priority. Thankfully, some veterans stepped up to do what the government should have done to begin with: honor and welcome home these pilots with a flyover. For those […]
The scandals are beginning to snowball around Arizona’s Attorney General Tom Horne, who is running for reelection this year. The latest revelation comes from a high-level staffer within the office, Sarah Beattie, who resigned last month because she believed Horne was running his campaign out of the government office. Elections attorney Tom Ryan was so […]
Why do the crazy stories always seem to come out of Florida? Case in point: a male stripper was busted after he posted a selfie on Facebook of him selling drugs next to a sheriff’s car. Taylor Harrison, 21, of Port St Lucie, was arrested Thursday after he posted selfies depicting himself sitting in a […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net In a nuclear tit for tat, U.S. Strategic Command, which is in charge of waging nuclear war, will hold large-scale bomber exercises this week. This follows on the heels of Russia conducting “massive” war games simulating a U.S. and NATO nuclear attack a few days ago. Both sides are denying this […]
Veterans take a back seat to the agenda: Some military veterans are being forced to leave their nursing home. It’s an unintended consequence of President Obama’s executive order in February to raise the minimum wage for new federal contract workers from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour. Sandy Franks, public affairs officer at Shreveport’s Overton Brooks […]
It’s easy to call for a minimum wage increase when you have the loot to replace all your cashiers with machines: Panera Bread CEO Rob Shaich, a Democratic donor and minimum wage supporter, recently announced that he will be replacing cashiers with computers. Shaich, who donated $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund, said he wanted […]
The White House is going green, or something: A solar panel array now adorns the roof of the White House and will produce an elephantine amount of solar power when the sun is actually shining: 6.3 kilowatts. If 6.3 kilowatts sounds like a lot of energy, it isn’t. The average home consumes 27 kilowatts of […]
No matter what your opinion of Senator Paul, you do have to admire that when he goes after an issue, he doesn’t just trump it then forget it. Ever since his filibuster on drones, of which he wrote that it was just the beginning, he’s continued with the subject. He cares heavily on the subject […]
There’s been quite a few complaints that the news media, which is mostly left leaning and Democrat voters, have refused to do their jobs on Benghazi. There have been a few intrepid and dogged reporters, yet, for the most part, it has been more about defending Team Obama and attacking citizens who just want answers. […]
What’s all the crowing about regarding North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis’ victory in the North Carolina Republican Senate primary this week? I’m talking about the crowing that this is some kind of defeat for the Tea Party. Sure, Greg Brannon was the Tea Party candidate and endorsed by Rand Paul. And, yes, the Republican […]
WASHINGTON (Disassociated Press)- Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said he was “stunned” today by the announcement that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau would surrender himself and all his followers to authorities after he realized he’d started a trending hashtag on Twitter that even First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted. Shekau, a purveyor of workplace violence and kidnapper […]
At the risk of offending dog lovers, can I just say I loathe pit bulls? Despite making up 4 percent of the dog population, these hideous beasts are responsible for more than 90 percent of all fatal dog attacks–and the number of people mauled to death by pit bulls has seen a sharp increase in […]
This is incredibly shameful. According to a Facebook post from Brandon Webb, a friend of Benghazi victim Glen Doherty, his family still hasn’t received any payments from the government that abandoned him. Webb doesn’t hesitate to name names in his post. If politicians wanted to truly get to the bottom of Benghazi they would stop […]
The neighbor from hell? A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with criminal mischief after she had her neighbors’ home bulldozed. She claims the neighbors were “unsavory.” A lot of people have unsavory neighbors, but bulldozing their homes is a tad extreme. But far from being apologetic, she’s claiming she did the neighborhood a […]
Nancy Pelosi has asserted that the Benghazi victim’s families have asked her to put a stop to the investigations. Seriously? REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): It’s very sad. Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, two of their families called us and said please don’t take us down the path again. Anyone following this story […]
Claiming to have a mental: disorder seems to be the modern cop-out: for bad, or in this case, criminal behavior. That explanation: didn’t hold up: for Kevin Edson, the 25 year old student: charged with placing a fake bomb at the end of the Boston Marathon. A Boston Municipal Court judge found Edson mentally competent enough to stand trial. via […]
