Virtually every domestic policy enacted by Obama has had the effect of maintaining or exacerbating high unemployment. A coming decree regarding overtime will be no exception: On Thursday Mr. Obama is expected to order the Department of Labor to make millions of salaried workers eligible for overtime pay. New categories of white-collar employees will likely […]
Remember when college campuses were revered as places for the free interchange of ideas? A recent incident at University of California, Santa Barbara is emblematic of how distant that ideal has become: A department of feminist studies professor has been accused of going berserk after coming across a campus prolife demonstration that used extremely graphic […]
One of them is that because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle, it’s really cold in Minnesota, as she writes in an opinion piece for the Huffington Post Second, every state in the U.S. is already experiencing the effects of climate change. During the all-night session, it was fascinating to listen to my Senate colleagues […]
You’ve probably heard about this one by now: Team Obama has changed the hardship exemption rules (WSJ) But amid the post-rollout political backlash, last week the agency created a new category: Now all you need to do is fill out a form attesting that your plan was cancelled and that you “believe that the plan […]
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to […]
Liberalism under Obama: Lie, attack people for claiming you lie, deny you’re lying, get caught lying, say the lie was good for people. – John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) February 20, 2014 Of course, gay marriage is guaranteed to be non-controversial in the future. That’s how it worked w/ abortion after Roe, right? Oh…. – John Hawkins […]
What would a president do if he were furious over criticism, or felt that his noble aims justified most means of attaining them? Answer that by comparing the behavior of Richard Nixon to that of an increasingly similar Barack Obama. Nixon tried to use the Internal Revenue Service to go after his political enemies — […]
Peggy Noonan, the former Republican speechwriter, recently authored a column the Wall Street Journal titled “Incompetence.” She highlighted examples of how Obama staffers “don’t have a background in executing” the policies the President seeks to articulate. Rather, Noonan wrote, “they have a background in communicating, but not in doing.” Of course, an Obama supporter might […]
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein “reluctantly” accused the CIA on Tuesday of spying on her committee. The CIA should be very afraid. DiFi has stood out as Langley’s fiercest Democratic defender. Now she threatens to become the agency’s biggest nightmare. Edward Snowden accused Feinstein of hypocrisy for protesting when spooks spy on Congress but […]
In a policy retreat that is little-known and virtually uncovered in media circles (except for the Wall Street Journal), the Obama administration has effectively postponed, for three years, any requirement that those whose health care policies were canceled or will be canceled from having to buy health insurance. This regulatory decision, coupled with the delays […]
When blacks gave 80 percent of their vote to the Democratic Party in 1964, black activist Malcolm X called them “political chumps.” White voters, X said, “are so evenly divided that every time they vote, the race is so close they have to go back and count the votes all over again. Which means that […]
It’s clear that Americans are irritated by some of our annoying, stupid, idiotic laws. Like the law in Galesburg, Ill., that makes it illegal to burn bird feathers within city limits. And one in Fort Thomas, Ky., that prohibits house pets from “molesting” passing cars. There are laws for this and laws for that, but […]
Every year we are subjected to lists. Forbe’s magazine lists the world’s wealthiest individuals. Time magazine lists the most “influential” people, though real influence is difficult to define or quantify. What I’ve never seen is a list of satisfied people, much less stories about how they attained satisfaction. Arianna Huffington is trying to fill that […]

For years, conservatives have puzzled over President Barack Obama’s continued personal popularity in the face of his dramatically uninspiring performance as commander-in-chief. Obama seems to inspire a bizarre personal loyalty among his advocates, particularly among young people who should by all rights be concerned with their fading futures and collapsing prospects. Why do his numbers […]
They all understand. If they don’t stand, they’re next: Nineteen states as well as the powerful National Rifle Association have joined the case’s plaintiff John Drake, who in his lawsuit claims he was denied a permit following a thwarted robbery attempt on his Sussex County business. Drake lost his appeal before a three-judge panel of […]
See, here’s the thing. : A leftist never promotes something he intends to abide by. : Ever: On March 9th NBC’s Bob Costas dismissed criticism of his having armed guards while disparaging “gun culture” by saying his guards were NBC and NFL security, not “personal” bodyguards. He did this while being interviewed by Fox News’s Howard Kurtz, […]
What about the CIA and NSA spying on the American people, Harry? Does that warrant an investigation? Not in his world: Sen. Harry Reid said CIA Director John Brennan should apologize to Sen. Dianne Feinstein after she accused the intelligence agency of spying on the computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Feinstein, a California […]
New York City progressives can’t cry racism because how does that explain Asian students doing so well even though they’re a minority group.: They can’t complain of cultural bias for the same reason.: The honest truth is the Asian culture puts a greater value on education than blacks and Latinos.: While our black and Latino […]
So, if you make less that $40,000 a year and find the high cost of Obamacare to be overwhelming, President Obama has a message for you: cancel your stupid cable TV and you dang iPhone service you ingrates. THEN you will be able to afford his mandated-by-law take over of our national healthcare system. This […]
Authoritarian Senator Dianne Feinstein finds the intrusive surveillance state less appealing when she’s the one under Big Brother’s microscope: The whistleblower Edward Snowden accused the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee of double standards on Tuesday, pointing out that her outrage at evidence her staff were spied on by the CIA was not matched by […]
If you discover that a car has gone off the road into the water, before giving in to the natural urge to rescue those inside, check the bumper for Obama or Coexist stickers. Moonbats do love their lawsuits (as evidenced by the cozy relationship between trial lawyers and the Democrat Party), and you wouldn’t want […]
I’ve always hated laws that relieve a person of personal responsibility. Illinois has a law that says you can’t be tried for murder if you’re drunk. Brian Cooper, 36, was found guilty last year of sexually assaulting Alisha Bromfield, but the jury were unable to decide on the murder charge because he had been intoxicated […]
Without having to show ID to vote, anyone can go and vote in the place of a dead person. That’s the case in Michigan where a dead woman votes in Detroit. The case of a Michigan woman whose mummified body was found years after her death is getting even more bizarre. Apparently, Michigan records show […]
It works out to around $238,000 per hour (NRSC) How much does it cost to rent the Senate floor (and 30 United States Senators) for 24 hours? By the looks of it, more than $100 million. Last night, the majority of Democrats engaged in a so-called, “talk-a-thon” to protest climate change and advocate for policies […]
