Court says California’s concealed-weapons rules are too strict

Finally, some good news! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down California’s concealed-weapons requirements, saying they were too strict to be Constitutional. California requires concealed-carry applicants to show “good cause” for wanting a permit beyond self-defense…whatever that means. The 2-1 ruling of a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said […]

Democrats ask IRS to target conservative groups

You know Democrats are in trouble when they start flat-out asking the IRS to harass conservative groups raising money for their opponents. Of course, they don’t frame it that way.

Ads for child pornography found in Spain

There’s no such thing as “abuse free” child pornography–on that, reasonable people agree. Still, a Spanish ad company was stupid enough to put up billboards for child porn at bus stops.

Iran and the New Axis of Evil

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net For now we see through a glass, darkly the liaison between Russia and Iran that I have written at length on.

Pushing “Medical Care That May Hasten Death”

The US Constitution isn’t the only centuries-old pillar of tradition that has become outmoded in the Age of Moonbattery Triumphant. Another is the Hippocratic Oath. Swearing to do no harm doesn’t make much sense in a society that regards killing inconvenient children as protecting women’s health. Taxpayer-subsidized NPR swings an axe into the concept that […]

Democrats Pull Out the Stops on Weaponized IRS

Not only are Democrats doubling down on their use of the IRS as a political weapon, they aren’t even bothering to try to make it look good by scapegoating a few token left-wing outfits. An astonishingly arrogant 100% of 501(c)(4) groups targeted for audit are conservative, according to House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp […]

Five Years Later: How’s that Wreckovery Working Out?

On Feb. 17, 2009, President Obama promised the sun and the moon and the stars.

Olympic coverage sweeps Soviet horrors under the rug

Hannah Arendt coined the term “the banality of evil” to describe the galling normalcy of Nazi mass murderer Adolf Eichmann. Covering his trial in Jerusalem, she described Eichmann as less a cartoonish villain than a dull, remorseless, paper-pushing functionary just “doing his job.” The phrase “banality of evil” was instantly controversial, largely because it was […]

Americans, Where Have You Gone?

Recently, I saw a Photoshopped depiction of Charles Manson next to an unborn baby, and the caption suggested that liberals are more interested in protecting Manson than they are the baby. It got me to thinking. Yes, it got me to thinking about the absurd positions modern liberals hold, which wouldn’t be nearly so disturbing […]

Few have ever heard the name Debo Adegbile. He’s President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the civil rights division of the Justice Department. A few months ago, his nomination would have been a non-starter — there is more than a whiff of radicalism in his past. But we are in a new world. Sen. Harry […]

Getting a Grip on Realities of the Federal Budget

The big story about the federal budget this week was the Republican Party’s struggle to deal with raising the debt ceiling. Last year’s big budget story was President Barack Obama and the Democrats coming to grips with the so-called sequester, a policy gimmick that modestly slowed the growth of federal spending. Neither of these storylines […]

It worked before. It would work again: Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is trying to get more work into welfare. On Wednesday, Lee introduced a bill that would restore the monthly work requirements for food stamps that President Obama suspended in 2009 with the stimulus. Lee’s legislation will also attempt to get control over welfare […]

Not Racist: Disabled Army Vet In Cleveland Attacked by Mob of Teens Taunting Him With Racial Slurs (Video)

It’s not racist because the victim was white and the attackers were black, so, yeah: Weasel Zippers points out: Reverse this situation and you’d have endless marches by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson demanding “justice.” Now consider this: people like Sharpton and Jackson and other liberal knuckleheads don’t think this is racist because minorities can’t […]

Libertarians and Conservatives: Can They Work Together?

by: Anna Maria Hoffman:  Not too long ago, we received a great question from one of our readers named Thomas. His question addresses the different factions in the GOP and the importance of uniting on principle to achieve victory this year and in 2016.
