Another Thanksgiving has passed without a presidential commutation for Clarence Aaron, who, at age 24, was sentenced to life without parole for a first-time nonviolent drug conviction in 1993.

I’m not sure which the Obama administration is better at, deceiving the American people into accepting its initial policy changes or conning them into accepting, after the fact, the lowering of expectations for these failed policies. Just look at this president’s miserable track record on both counts. His administration predicted his exorbitant stimulus package would […]

We conservatives are always on about the “unintended consequences” of government programs, but we didn’t expect the Obama administration and congressional Democrats to provide such a vivid object lesson.

Not many foreign policy experts would argue with the proposition that the country with which the United States has the most problematic relationship is Pakistan.

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.” — John Lennon “Black Friday” was a metaphor beyond the merchants’ bottom line.

The National Journal is a well known left of center magazine. And they are calling for a complete overhaul: President Obama needs to fire himself. Not literally, of course, but practically: He needs to shake up his team so thoroughly that the new blood imposes change on how he manages the federal bureaucracy and leads. […]
Liberals are all about the separation of church and state, until combining the two furthers the agenda, then they are all about it. Case in point: Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) told the Rev.

And seven different options: Feminine, Masculine, Androgynous, Gender Neutral, Transgender, Other and […]
Big Government has tried repeatedly to promote eco-friendly vehicles. It hasn’t helped that for the most part only posturing moonbats with more money than they know what to do with have any use for these overpriced, underpowered deathtraps.

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Marxist food workers of the US unite!
