We’ve been played

“One does not sharpen the axes after the right time; after the time they are needed.” — Russian Proverb The late Ukrainian violinist Mischa Elman is considered one of the greatest of all time, but he has nothing on Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has played the Obama administration better than any musician. Washington is […]

Obama’s Feckless Saber-rattling

Sen. Barbara Boxer had been appealing to my better instincts as she never had before. The Democrat from California provided a crucial vote in favor of a resolution sought by President Barack Obama to authorize the use of military force in Syria. Boxer voted for military force even though that position was highly unpopular among […]

Specter of Iraq Hovers over Syria Deliberation

Hovering over the congressional debate on whether to authorize the use of military force in Syria is the specter of Iraq. It hung even more menacingly over the debate in the British House of Commons Aug. 29 when a 285-272 majority voted against granting the government such authority. The prevalent idea is that America and […]

Let priests have sex: Vatican leaders open to discuss it

There’s something missing from this headline.:  If these discussions are open outside the context of allowing persists to marry, I don’t see what else is there to discuss.: : :  The Post reports this is not your grandmother’s Catholic Church! Archbishop Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, said Catholic leaders are open to discussion about one […]

Neil Young’s $1 Million Green Car Leaves Him Stranded

Bwahaha! Couldn’t happen to a sillier moonbat: Neil Young, a high-profile proponent of cars powered by alternative fuels, was recently stranded on the highway when his own $1 million biomass-powered hybrid car broke down. California highway patrol officers found the Canadian rocker stranded on the side of a road near Donner Summit, Calif. Young was […]

Judge Overrules Private Company’s Dress Code

In a free country, only one thing would be required for employment: that both employee and employer come to a mutually acceptable arrangement. Conversely, in a soft tyranny run by dhimmified moonbats: A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that trendy clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch wrongly fired a Muslim worker who insisted on […]

9/11: America’s Unfinished Business

Before we head to Syria to avenge the mass murder of their kids, how about we finish avenging ours: ? When I say “finish,” of course I really mean “start.” A dozen years after the 9/11 attacks, the trials against the jihadist plotters who incinerated pregnant women, firefighters, grandparents, newlyweds, toddlers and schoolkids on their first-ever […]

Road to Damascus

Some things you just: have: to do, in spite of great uncertainty. Launching missiles at Syria isn’t one of them. Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what “ought” to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. […]

You Don’t Have to Stay Poor

No one can blame you if you start out in life poor, because how you start is not your fault. If you stay poor, you’re to blame because it is your fault. Nowhere has this been made clearer than in Dennis Kimbro’s new book, “The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires.” Kimbro, a business […]

The Tea Party/MoveOn.Org Coalition

Opposition to American involvement in the war in Syria is uniting the far left and the far right in a new coalition for peace and the Constitution. The coalition made its debut when it lost by seven votes in its attempt to get the House to put limits on NSA surveillance. It is not just […]

What we’ve learned in Syria

The Syrian conflict is far from resolved, but with Russia finally stepping in and offering to broker a solution — something this column has long recommended — a stand-down now seems increasingly likely. As the world now mulls Russia’s proposal for Syria to place its chemical arsenal under international control, what have we really learned […]

Obama’s Munich

In August 2012, President Obama inadvertently set America up for war: He said that if Syria crossed a “red line” by using chemical weapons, that would amount to a “game changer”. In August 2013, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad apparently did just that, gassing some 1,429 people in Damascus. On Sept. 1, 2013, Secretary of State […]

Syria and Obama: Part II

Chickens are coming home to roost for Barack Obama, both at home and overseas. When he first entered the White house, to worldwide acclaim, and backed by huge majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, he could do whatever he wanted — and could do no wrong, in the eyes of the […]

What Obama Can Learn from Roger Ailes

As: CEO of 5WPR, a leading: PR agency, I am well aware that personal relationships are vital. Interpersonal skills, relationships and chemistry matter tremendously in business, politics, and in life.:  History demonstrates occurrences where relationships have changed the course of history, for example, how the personal bond between Roosevelt and Churchill helped end the Second World War.

Outclassed by the Master: Putin Didn’t Save Obama, He Beat Him

Game, set, and match for Vladimir Putin! Weekly Standard reports with the Russian proposal on Syrian chemical weapons, the United States is being escorted out of the Middle East.:  Maybe Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin really did discuss the idea of putting Syrian chemical weapons under international control last week on the sidelines of the […]

Choosing God Over Government Cheese

The federal leviathan will tolerate no competition, particularly when it comes to caring for the poor. When private charity has been eradicated, oligarchical collectivists’ trump card — “What about the poor?” — will seem to have merit. Combine this with Obama’s war on Christianity, and the following story should come as no surprise: A Florida […]
