Pope Francis, in his apostolic exhortation, levied charges against free market capitalism, denying that “economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world” and concluding that “this opinion … has never been confirmed by the facts.” He went on to label unfettered capitalism as […]
We’ve all heard the Obamacare horror stories: members of the individual insurance marketplace who watched their plans get canceled; business owners watching their costs rise; and employees finding out that more is coming out of their paychecks for approximately the same benefits. But the underlying logic of Obamacare was that those in need would benefit […]
Last night, I received an email from President Barack Obama about his health law. He said, “The law is working. Already nearly 365,000 people across the country have picked private plans through the Marketplace.” Sorry, Mr. President, but a mere 365,000 people signing up on the federal health exchange, while almost 50 million are uninsured, […]

Christmastime is supposed to be the season of giving. : Why is so much being taken away from people? As a man of the cloth and a staunch defender of the Judeo-Christian faith that built our great nation, one thing that always bothers me is when atheists seek to deprive us of the true reason for […]
It’s a question that’s popping up more and more. On the surface, the question answers itself. We’re talking about pinstriped insurance company executives, not Hells Angels. One doesn’t want to paint with too broad a brush, but if you were going to guess which vocations lend themselves least to revolutionary zeal, actuaries rank slightly behind […]
With friends like these, who needs Democrats: Rep. Peter King, the hawkish New York Republican who is weighing a presidential bid, has launched a political action committee. The PAC, American Leadership Now, aims to boost Republicans who are moderate on domestic issues and tough on foreign policy, King told POLITICO in a phone call from […]
This reminds me of a legislator in Missouri who was busted for weed who introduced a bill earlier in the year lessening the penalties for weed. : It’s all about covering your hind end: Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and seven other Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the possibility of imposing the death penalty for […]
Christians across the Middle East are routinely targeted, but Catholics in Iraq are under asking what will have to happen for their plight to be noticed: Warning that a Middle East empty of Christians would be “just like the Taliban,” Iraq’s most senior Catholic leader pointedly called on the West to show greater concern […]
Three days ago I discussed why Time magazine picked Catholic Pope Francis as its “man of the year.” We noted that the only reason the magazine would have picked this months-old Pope for its cover is because of his recent Marxist-styled attack on capitalism. Now the Pope has come out to assure his flock and […]
Under the current regime, everything is always all about President Selfie. Check out the shudder-inducing tapestry that now dominates the US Embassy in London: They don’t make it easy to miss: There may be more to this crime against decorum than Obama’s pathological narcissism and the worshipful attitude of the ultra-left toadies who make up […]
When I found out the sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial worship services, self-described violent schizophrenic Thamsanqa Jantjie, was an utter fraud, he struck me as a highly appropriate choice for the event, considering that the entire event was phony, based on an artificial conception of Nelson Mandela. Turns out Jantjie was an […]
There is a 9th: having to listen to Warmists whine about Hotcoldwetdry ruining Christmas as they drive around in fossil fueled vehicles. Continuing the 25 Days Of Climate Christmas 8 Ways Climate Change Is Wrecking Christmas Santa and his polar bear neighbors in the North Pole aren’t the only ones dealing with the consequences of […]
Another day, another big concern with Obamacare (Politico) Think the canceled health policies hurt the Obamacare cause? There’s another political time bomb lurking that could explode not too long before next year’s elections: rate hikes for small businesses. Like the canceled individual health plans, it’s another example of a tradeoff that health care experts have […]
This actually does MAKE PERFECT SENSE. To deny Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians who are Catholic, such as Secretary of State John Kerry, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, “makes perfect sense” because it is a discipline that goes back to St. Paul, “the very first years […]
This is the best idea a Republican has had since Rand Paul’s drone filibuster. Rep. Tom Rice – the South Carolina lawmaker who’s drafted a resolution to take President Barack Obama to court for tweaking the Affordable Care Act without congressional approval – says he wants to serve the commander-in-chief notice that he can’t selectively […]
1) It’s inherently dishonest: In many ways, Obamacare is a typical liberal program. Unfortunately for Barack Obama, there are two key differences. The first is that the Affordable Care Act was implemented on a short enough timetable for people to remember the promises that were made about it. Furthermore, because it is such an enormous […]
The Florida appeals court ruling that the: University of North Florida: was violating state law when it prohibited a woman from storing a gun in her vehicle while she attended class will spill over to cities and counties statewide, an attorney said Wednesday. And it’s one of many nationwide where anti-gun activists are trying to do at […]
I’m interrupting my series on Common Core State Standards for public schools to join the appeal to Iran and North Korea for the release of American hostages like imprisoned American pastor Saeed Abedini and missionary Kenneth Bae. And I’m also calling upon President Obama and Congress to step up their action, stand for religious freedom […]
Just when President Obama is on the ropes with Obamacare and the rest of his failed policies, scandals and deceptions, the GOP seems determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory — a victory not just for the GOP, but also for the American people. Instead of focusing on their common Democratic “enemy,” Republicans […]
Jack Phillips owns the Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo., about 10 miles from downtown Denver. In July 2012, two gay men, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, asked Phillips to provide the cake for their wedding celebration. Though same-sex marriage is not allowed in Colorado — the Colorado Constitution states that “Only a union of one […]
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., are about as opposite politically as two people can be. Nonetheless, last week they joined forces to introduce a bill to repeal the federal requirement to blend corn ethanol into gasoline. There’s something in the ethanol mandate for almost everyone — but corn farmers — not to […]
The Black Guerilla Family prison gang controlled the Baltimore City jail. According to a federal indictment, 27 correctional officers, along with 17 others, “were in bed with BGF inmates.” That would be literally and figuratively. Gang leader Tavon White impregnated no fewer than four female guards. One had “Tavon” tattooed on her wrist. Guards smuggled […]
During the Christmas season when many celebrate a unique and miraculous birth, what the late Pope John Paul II called “a culture of death” continues its march. Last week, the upper house of the Belgian Senate voted to extend a 2002 law legalizing euthanasia for adults so that it includes incurably ill children. The amended […]
An animal rights group wants to free the chimps from the zoo. : Their argument is it’s about the same freeing the slaves. No, really: In this lawsuit, the (Nonhuman Rights Project) rely on a judge’s decision in 1772 to grant freedom to a black man because of the man’s autonomy. The progressives then argue that […]
