After much criticism from conservative quarters, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has decided, at least for now, to withdraw plans for its proposed study of how media organizations gather and report news.

Former House Speaker Tip O’Neill famously said that all politics is local.

This is so unbelievably stupid that I checked to see if it was April 1st, but since it’s still February, it must be some kind of hamfisted publicity stunt.

West Virginia Democrats are taking a page out of Congress’s playbook. : They jacked up the state’s minimum wage, but included language in the legislation that exempted themselves: Last week, the Democrat controlled House in West Virginia passed legislation raising the state’s minimum wage to $8.75 an hour, $1.50 higher than the federal minimum wage. The […]

Liberal demigod Nelson Mandela’s collectivist legacy continues to unfold in what was once a prosperous and relatively civilized country: The Economic Freedom Fighters have stuck to their guns for the nationalisation of mines and expropriation of land without compensation.

Shine a light on even the most aggressive rats and they will retreat to their hidey-holes – for now. The FCC has suspended its outrageously intrusive Critical Information Needs program, which means the bureaucrats are pulling back on it until the publicity dies down, at which point they will push forward again. That publicity was […]
Universities are a breeding ground for ignorance and stupidity especially when it comes to understanding sovereignty. This recent posting from a feminist pleading the student body to give up freedom for her form of justice reflects how dumb Americans have become in the places of learning.

Consider the definition and implications of this phrase: after-birth abortion. I suggest you go to a room by yourself in case you need to scream vocally before reading how pro-choice philosophers have come up with a scheme to kill newborn babies. Slate Just when you thought the religious right couldn’t get any crazier, with its […]
According to studies in Finland and Great Britain they discovered an 8.1 rate of suicide per thousand women who had abortions.

Last week, a famous […]
The environmentalist movement’s latest target is fracking. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process of extracting shale gas from deposits underground. Natural gas releases less CO2 than oil into the environment. For this reasons, environmentalists concerned with global warming should be pleased to be moving away from oil and toward natural gas, but instead they […]
This could be a big, and game changing, case, one which could place limits on the ever-expansive role of not just the EPA, but other federal agencies and the Chief Executive (CNS News) The Obama administration is squaring off at the Supreme Court with industry groups and Republican-led states over a small but important program […]
Lest one think this is just a one off, a single thinker in the wind, a lone wolf, this is the way the hardcore leftists think not just around the country, but around the world, especially those who think of themselves as the intellectual elite (Daily Caller) If this Harvard University student got her way, […]
Let’s hope it’s from Louie Gohmert’s lips to God’s ears. One of the tea-party leaders in Congress believes the days of Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker of the House of Representatives are numbered. Rep.

There are a lot of Americans who rely on wood burning stoves to keep warm in the winter.

It disgusts me more every year. I speak of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which is published the middle of February every year. I’m not the only one disgusted.

The thing I like about most sports are the rules and how the winner is determined are pretty unambiguous. Score more points, cross the finish line first, jump higher, whatever, and you win. Should there be any foul play or skirting of the rules, there’s an official or referee there to cry foul. It’s simple […]
Apparently, a lot of “educators” these days see the classroom as a platform to promote their stupid conspiracy theories and crank beliefs.
