Remember the IRS scandal? It’s gone. Poof. So flaccid has press interest in the story become that President Barack Obama made bold in an interview with Fox News to say there was not a “smidgen of corruption” in the IRS’s conduct. It requires terrific confidence in the passivity of the press to float the discredited […]
Random thoughts on the passing scene: It is amazing how many people still fall for the argument that, if life is unfair, the answer is to turn more money and power over to politicians. Since life has always been unfair, for thousands of years and in countries around the world, where does that lead us? […]
(Editor’s note: Chuck has postponed the second part of his series “Alcohol vs. Marijuana” until after the Winter Olympics so he can address some moments of inspiration from the games.) American snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg, a native of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, made the decision of his life in Olympic competition over the weekend, and it paid […]
Each passing day is more incriminating for President Obama’s Obamacare, as the news is like a relentless prosecutor amassing evidence against a serial killer. Yet the more evidence that rolls in condemning the president’s “signature achievement” — wouldn’t you love to have that albatross hung around your epitaph? — the more entrenched Obama becomes, making […]
Federal prosecutors have announced they are seeking the death penalty for Boston marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Do Americans want another Clinton in the White House? As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flirts with running in 2016, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., also a potential White House candidate, has put an interesting spin on Bill Clinton’s White House years. Democrats shouldn’t accuse the GOP of waging a “war on women,” he recently […]
Most people accept the notion that politicians don’t always tell the truth. Some lies are harmless enough; others more consequential. Lyndon Johnson skirted the truth when he promised during the 1964 presidential campaign not to send any more American troops to fight a land war in Southeast Asia. He knew then that American intervention would […]
Is Barack Obama trying to shift alliances in the Middle East away from traditional allies and toward Iran? Robert Kaplan, author and geopolitical analyst for the Stratford consulting firm, thinks so. In a realclearworld.com article, Kaplan argues that the Obama administration sees the recently elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani “as a potential Deng Xiaoping, someone […]
He’s right. This is a lawless presidency. If Obama care simply change a law without Congress, what do we need Congress for? And this is the same day Obama says on a hot mic, “That’s the good thing about being the president. I can do whatever I want.” No Republican president would be allowed to […]
Was Sean Hannity bluffing when he said he was leaving New York following Gov. Cuomo’s assertion that conservatives weren’t welcome in the state? Maybe not: “Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me — every single solitary penny,” Hannity said at the time. But just one day later, […]
It’s as hypocritical: as the First Lady screaming about eating healthy and then watching her husband go out to a burger joint. : It’s a great way of showing that the advocate of government force never intends for that force to be used against them: On February 6th former astronaut Mark Kelly testified in favor of more […]

Because members of a union who have a long career that depends on supporting a union are the best people to teach the greatness of unions curriculum based on a bill that was pushed by a politician whose campaign is financially supported by unions. Can you say indoctrination? In January, a bill was introduced in […]
The percentage of the wealth we create that is confiscated by the government is crippling, but at least our money is spent more creatively by the pointy-headed liberal social engineers in charge than we would ever spend it ourselves. For example, how many of us would think to spend our money brainwashing ourselves into racial […]
Hope & Change is all about making America less like America and more like the rest of the world. But the reason so many people from the rest of the world are eager to come here is that America is a better place – for now: Do amnesty advocates care that blood tainted with malaria, […]
Last month, I did an interview with Scott Walker. Here’s an excerpt from that interview which seemed insignificant at the time that has gotten a lot of attention from liberal blogs today. I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan – limited government, you know, smaller government, […]
For some unlucky women each day is a horror filled nightmare of helplessness at the hands of violent slimy men, like these 3 brothers Benito Lopez-Perez, Anastasio Romero-Perez and Jose Barrientos-Perez [pictured below] who treat women like chattle. Victims of a sex trafficking trio of brothers from Mexico have finally spoken out about the horrors […]
I can’t make this stuff up; Obama’s administration is paving the way for people associated with terror groups to immigrate to the US. This change is one of Obama’s first actions on immigration since he pledged during his State of the Union address last month to use more executive directives. GOP Object To Obama Easing […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Hat Tip: CJ Talk about stone cold, wetting their pants fear… all you have to do is read HuffPo to see Progressives shrilly denouncing Ted and Rafael Cruz. It’s reminiscent of a vampire shrinking from the cross. Starting out with what the Marxists consider to be a slam, they inadvertently win […]
In Mr. Obama’s rush to try and give relief to the children of illegal aliens, many of whom were actually brought to the US illegally, he harmed legal citizens (Daily Caller) President Barack Obama’s 2012 unilateral legalization of 500,000 young illegal immigrants helped him win the 2012 election – at the cost of splitting 500,000 […]
The Occupy Wall Street movement has not only disintegrated, but is now imploding. Left-wing news sites are gloating about the demise of their own. BuzzFeed ran a story last week on the hijacking of the primary Occupy Wall Street Twitter account by a transsexual who is now claiming to be the founding organizer of the […]
Governor Bobby Jindal puts Obamacare in context, and finds it vastly wanting in terms of economics and jobs (Politico) The verdict is in, and it’s not good: Obamacare is rippling through the U.S. economy with vast implications for American prosperity. On Friday, we learned that the Obama economy has hit stall speed, with a paltry […]
The modern Democrat Party looks at government the same way little kids view Santa. Liberals seem to believe the government has infinite resources that can be used to hand out free gifts without ever having to worry about how they will be paid for. However, back in the real world, “gifts” aren’t free. The money […]
I have to admit that I’m kind of surprised that people can use food stamps without a photo ID. What, do you show up and say, “I’m Jane Smith, I promise, now give me my handout?” Apparently so… Several House Republicans have introduced a proposal that would require food stamp recipients to show photo identification […]
How can you tell George Soros is worth more than 20 billion dollars? Because he’s 83 years old and his ex-girlfriend is a 30 year old South American soap actress. Apparently, their relationship didn’t end on a happy note. George Soros’ former girlfriend came out swinging at her billionaire ex during a private deposition for […]
General Colin Powell would have retired a lieutenant had it not been for affirmative action. Powell is a first-class moron. To think that I was actually fooled into believing he was competent enough to be president at one point, which only goes to show you how we can all be fooled. After supporting Obama (TWICE!), […]
