It takes a lot of chutzpah to cut veteran’s benefits, then ask for a donation. It was more than Chuck Wooten could stomach, especially from the architect of the deal: To Congressman Paul Ryan Today at 8:19 AM Congressman Ryan, Please note that this request by you for a cash donation from me is extremely […]
Sharia law, Saudi Arabian style: A judge in Saudi Arabia has recommended that imprisoned blogger Raif Badawi go before a high court on a charge of apostasy, which would carry the death penalty upon conviction, according to Badawi’s wife.

Remember this? The Obama administration is willing to consider supporting an expanded Syrian rebel coalition that would include Islamist groups, provided the groups are not allied with al-Qaeda and agree to support upcoming peace talks in Geneva, a senior U.S. official said Thursday. About that “not allied with al-Qaeda part…” The Islamic Front, a newly […]

Already way ahead of you, chief: A top financial advisor, worried that Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and spiraling national debt is increasing the chances for a fiscal and social disaster, is recommending that Americans prepare a “bug-out bag” that includes food, a gun and ammo to help them stay alive. David John Marotta, a […]
The effort to de-stigmatize pedophilia is decades old. I wrote about it in detail years ago here. It continues today, coming more and more out of the shadows. Now, a so-called “expert” in Canada says pedophilia is just a sexual orientation: Straight, gay, bi, trans, and … pedophile? Yes, two Canadian experts say pedophilia is […]
The Washington Post’s Sarah Kliff highlights the supposed “sign-ups” on the last day or something The evidence we have so far – albeit limited – suggests that lots of Obamacare shoppers made it in just under the wire.

NEW YORK — Count Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly among the millions of people who are outraged that a Michigan teachers union is fighting to secure a $10,000 severance payment for a former teacher who is now in prison for molesting a student over a three-year period.

Thanks to an overreaching federal government, the American public will soon be forced to purchase a product that’s severely overpriced, hazardous to our health and doesn’t live up to all its hype – and I’m not talking about Obamacare. We now have a mere six shopping days left to stock up on a product Americans […]
The wheels began to come off Obamacare in 2011 when the administration announced that the “CLASS Act,” a provision to provide long-term disability care, was, in the words of Kathleen Sebelius, “totally unsustainable,” and would be discontinued. What was the problem? The White House website had boasted: “No taxpayer funds will be used to pay […]
At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, whom we Christians believe is the second person of the divine Trinity, who took on human form to experience our sufferings, die for us and make our salvation possible. The idea of God becoming man strikes us as a bit odd, at the very least. How […]
During the holiday season, many reflect on finding the right balance in their lives. As a nation, we’re in a season of searching for the right balance between individual freedoms and the role of government. The clearest indication that things are out of balance nationally is that the median household income in our capital city […]
Christmastime is an occasion for families to come together. But the family is not what it used to be, as my former American Enterprise Institute colleague Nick Schulz argues in his short AEI book “Home Economics: The Consequences of Changing Family Structure.” It’s a subject that many people are uncomfortable with. “Everyone either is or […]
Obama’s Veteran’s Administration has prevented delivery of hand-made Christmas cards that were to go to wounded veterans because the cards made by kids at a Dallas area grade school have the words “Merry Christmas” on them. The VA claims that this traditional Christmas wish will upset veterans who aren’t religious and so the cards were […]
Kid Rock, one of the few nationally known artists who has the spine to let people know he’s right of center, planted his feet and said he stood with Phil: I support Phil Robertson and his choice to express his faith and beliefs. Shame on A&E. I hope all my friends, straight or gay, will […]
What an absolute farce: Obama enrolled in a “bronze” ObamaCare plan over the weekend in a move the White House described as a “symbolic” gesture designed to promote enrollment. According to a White House official, the president enrolled in the District of Columbia marketplace and selected from among the lowest-cost options available. The White House […]
Remember when unions organized nation wide strikes at fast food joints in America? Snarf’s employees participated in that and closed the restaurant for four days. They received this email right before Christmas: 1. Due to increased competition and losses, ownership has decided to consider remodeling and reconcepting the store at 600 West Chicago Ave. 2. […]
The Religion of Peace strikes again: Militants in Iraq targeted Christians in two separate bomb attacks in Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 37 people, officials said. In one attack, a car bomb went off near a church during Christmas Mass in the capital’s southern Dora neighborhood, killing at least 26 people and wounding 38, […]
One of the reasons I walked away from the Methodist Church was its liberal activist wing. Case in point: Nativity scenes have a few standard elements: a manger, swaddling clothes, happy parents, sheep, maybe the Three Wise Men. They don’t generally include Trayvon Martin. But there he is, wearing a hoodie, a stream of blood […]
The biggest reason why Bill de Blasio won his election as mayor of New York was the image of his two mixed race children fronting his campaign.: There was Dante with his deep voice, good looks and a ten inch Afro that blew away the primary field of nobodys.: De Blasio was a nobody too, […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Photo: AP The Chief of Security for Israeli airports stated to TheBlaze what all of us have known about the TSA from the beginning – they suck.

Sticker shock (USA Today) More than half of the counties in 34 states using the federal health insurance exchange lack even a bronze plan that’s affordable – by the government’s own definition – for 40-year-old couples who make just a little too much for financial assistance, a USA TODAY analysis shows. Many of these counties […]

Um, they’reChristmas cards. The kids at: Grace Academy: in Prosper spent Friday making the cards with plans to hand deliver them on Monday, according to Dallas-Fort […]
On almost every left-right issue that divides Democrats and Republicans — as well as Republicans themselves — there is a neglected populist constituency. The result is that populist politics are largely caricatured as Tea Party extremism — and a voice for the middle class is largely absent. The problem with Obamacare is that its well-connected […]
The outrage industry was in high dudgeon just before Christmas over remarks “Duck Dynasty” family patriarch, Phil Robertson, made to GQ magazine about homosexuality. Outrage is the primary ingredient for political fundraising and political power. One must always have an enemy. Let’s go down the “I Take Offense” checklist and make sure all the boxes […]
Monday, December 23 was supposed to be deadline day for Obamacare, the day when everyone in the country was supposed to have signed up for Obamacare. But for many who were trying to do so, a crashed website turned out to be the Christmas gift that wouldn’t stop giving. Apparently the many months of constant […]
Ah, the efficiency of central planning: Oregon’s troubled health insurance exchange began robocalling applicants Friday, warning them that if they don’t receive enrollment confirmation by Monday, they should seek coverage elsewhere for Jan. 1. “If you haven’t heard from us by Dec. 23, it is unlikely your application will be processed for Jan. 1 insurance […]
