This might be the most boneheaded, unintelligent statement from a Texas politician since Ann Richards’ opponent compared rape to the weather. (If it’s inevitable, “relax and enjoy it.”) A Democratic candidate for Harris County DA says domestic violence is “overrated.” “Family violence is so, so overrated,” he asserted, saying that “just me touching you” would […]
Liberalism often works by starting with an arguably good thing and taking it to such an extreme that it becomes pernicious. Public sector pensions are a prime example. Few would deny retired police officers either a pension or a savings plan. But in liberal states greed has gotten completely out of control. From Ventura County, […]
By reputation, Harvard University is the USA’s top university, the foremost producer of personnel for the ruling establishment. It falls to Harvard to set the parameters of university research at the highest level. That is why this piece in the Harvard Crimson is one of the most alarming editorials you are likely to read: In […]
As the nation’s African American community continues to wallow in an epidemic of black-on-black murder each and every day, we get the likes of “CrunkFeminist” Brittney Cooper claiming that the real problem in the black community is “an onslaught of white murder,” a badly formulated phrase for which she offers no evidence but one case. […]
This is the world Obama lives in (The Hill) President Obama warned that Democrats often get into trouble during the midterm elections because state-level races aren’t as “sexy” as national presidential elections during a meeting with Democratic governors and party donors Thursday night. “We know how to win national elections,” Obama said. “But all too […]
She and other vulnerable Democrats finally realized that their Obamacare votes have consequences, so they wrote a letter (via NRO) (NRSC) Hagan’s ObamaCare “enacted $200 Billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage over 10 years” In 2009, Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) promised North Carolinians who depend on Medicare that she was going to “protect Medicare” and […]
I like Trey Gowdy. In fact, I wish he would run for Lindsey Graham’s seat this year. But while his heart’s generally in the right place, I have trouble believing that the current “leaders” of the Republican Party have the guts to strip Obama of funding, even if we take the Senate back. These guys […]
Labor unions organized heavily to raise the living wage by law. Anyone with a thinking brain can see that business will not take the reduction of their revenue, rather adjust to the hit with strategies to cut cost [pictured below]. 64,000 of these “electronic cashiers” are now in place at McDonald’s restaurants around Europe and […]
Women in the U.S. complain about some invisible inequality against them. The story of the woman almost stoned to death for adultery after being raped is true inequality and oppression. More from the real war on women. Via Guardian: A pregnant teenager who says she was gang-raped has been charged with adultery in: Sudan, and faces […]
A Texas political action committee supporting Democratic candidates has been caught engaging in activities that may violate the law. Clips published by the watchdog group,: Project Veritas, show: Battleground Texas: worker Jennifer Longoria admitting that her group uses voters’ phone numbers – protected under: Texas’ privacy laws: – to turn out like-minded voters on Election Day, according to a Project […]
Is it a surprise that Unions are at it again in bed with the politicians to force employers to hire union workers. Unbelievable. Via Washington Examiner: Mobsters making offers that can’t be refused typically do so in the bluntest possible language, but SEIU leaders in Wisconsin are running a close second. Gov. Scott Walker’s landmark […]
Unions are so powerful that their members believe they can burn a church and get away with it. Looks like they were wrong and a handful of union thugs got busted! Did I ever tell you how much I hate unions? Via Free Beacon: The federal government on Tuesday indicted multiple union members for burning […]
This is the bottom of the slippery slope and I think he would be impeached if he weren’t America’s first black president. — Ann Coulter I don’t work for the party bosses in Washington. I work for 26 million Texans. — Ted Cruz The genius of the Left – Chavez’s for example – is that […]
Brandy Burning knew her rights the day she was pulled over by officer O’Brien. The trouble was: the officer: didn’t know her rights and instead felt powerful over this single mom. A Florida woman spent the night in jail after a Broward County sheriff’s deputy accused her of committing a “felony” by audio recording their conversation during […]
Politics is often like war. Unfortunately, politicians, the media and the voting public seldom have the same degree of realism and discipline with which professional soldiers fight wars. You can indulge your emotions and base your decisions on wishful thinking in politics, in a way that you are not likely to when your own life […]
This week’s award for Biggest Common Core Jerk goes to Missouri GOP state legislator Mike Lair. Parents, teachers and administrators who object to the government education “standards” racket — which usurps local control, impedes academic achievement and undermines family privacy — have politicians on the defensive. The only thing these Fed Ed flacks and hacks […]
Cancel the philosophy courses, people. Oh, and we’re going to be shuttering the political science, religion and pre-law departments too. We’ll keep some of the English and history folks on for a while longer, but they should probably keep their résumés handy. Because, you see, they are of no use anymore. We have the answers […]
There seems to be a common characteristic among those who follow the liberal orthodoxy, especially those in the old media. Their ideology and rabid partisanship prevent them from acknowledging, much less correcting, policy failures. My brother, Rush, expounds the “Limbaugh theorem,” which holds that President Obama studiously avoids accountability for his disastrous agenda by positioning […]

In the 1980s, a couple of ambitious young economists thought ski lift operators weren’t very smart. The economists assumed that if the business owners charged more on busy days, they could make more money. As recounted in “Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations” by David Warsh, the economists saw long lines on busy days as […]
It is 611 miles from the United Auto Workers headquarters in Detroit to Volkswagen’s assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. It’s a long day’s drive, about 10 hours almost entirely on Interstate 75, but it turned out to be too far for the UAW. Or so one must judge from the results of the unionization election […]
Yes, it is a tale of two cities in New York. In de Blasio’s world laws don’t apply to him and his friends. CBS Originally posted at The Last Tradition
It is disturbing when a child is kidnapped and later found murdered. It is even more gruesome when the kidnapper and killer turns out to work with children as a career. A Missouri middle school sports coach charged in the grisly murder of a 10-year-old girl shot the bubbly fourth grader in the head, authorities […]
Sometimes managers get power hungry like the manager of this McDonalds who refused to donate food to NY first responders and fired an 8 year employee for footing the bill. A McDonald’s worker who picked up the bill for hungry first responders after they battled local fires has returned to work to find she no […]
Foreshadowing Obamacare, the family of a Canadian man who died sitting in his wheelchair in the waiting room of a Winnipeg hospital for 34 hours has withdrawn from the inquest being undertaken to find out what went wrong. The man, Brian Sinclair, 45, was left by hospital workers for 34 hours when he arrived at […]
Progressives always want to progress. But eventually you get to the end of line – the place where statism has reached its logical conclusion and cannot be pushed any further. That place is North Korea: North Korea forces women to undergo abortions and young mothers to drown their newborn babies, and has starved and executed […]
For insight into the moral depravity of liberalism, consider this graph: Here’s the legend: Con = Conservative Party (Tories); Lab = Labour (equivalent to USA’s Democrat Party); Lib Dem = Liberal Democrat (not as left-wing as Labour); UKIP = UK Independence Party. Daniel Hannan provides some analysis: Sixty-nine per cent of Labour supporters would want […]
You know what would be really scary? I was reading about the KGB, translated as the Committee for State Security. I read how they “actively sought to combat “ideological subversion”. Well, it would really be scary if we had an agency in the U.S. who thought it was their job to control the ideals and […]
