Remember this from a few weeks ago? (The Blaze) U.S. Department of Defense education materials obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, warn of “extremists” that will “talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.” Judicial Watch and other conservative media outlets claim the disclosure indicates the […]
Darned Republicans, already making a hash of Something President Nobel Peace Prize wants in order to use America’s war making devices (Politico) President Barack Obama faces a clear uphill battle in swaying skeptical lawmakers of the merits of military action in Syria, as top officials were dispatched to Capitol Hill Sunday to make the administration’s […]

MIAMI — High school students are supposed to be the ones enamored with social media. But lately a lot of teachers have become carried away with modern communication options, and the habit is getting some of them in big trouble. Stevie Glasspool, a social studies teacher at Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science in Miami, […]
This year for the first time, Americans for Prosperity held its Right Online conference at the same time as its Defending the American Dream Summit.

Barack Hussein Obama is either the most inept president ever to sit in the White House or he is an enemy of the Republic. He could be both, but I defy anyone to suggest a logical third alternative. For the last ten years, I have watched this man’s uncanny rise to the pinnacle of power […]
“President Bush is the first president to accomplish what?” “He’s the first to propose a budget that tops $3 trillion. He was also the first to propose one that topped $2 trillion. Now the budget is about $4 trillion. America is the proud owner of the largest government on Earth.” “That’s a lot of government.” […]
I love Detroit. Although that’s a minority opinion of late, it’s as true today as it was when I was growing up there. I never knew a vibrant, thriving Detroit, but I’ve heard the stories and seen the pictures. Now it’s broke and desolate, looking for a way out, or at least a way back […]

Across all religions, it is universally reviled that: on Sunday: morning, September 15, 1963, a bomb planted by a racist group in Birmingham, Alabama exploded in the basement of that city’s 16th: Street Baptist Church, killing four young black girls, and embedding in the heart and soul of the American people a resolve to ensure equality and justice […]

Something a bit humorous from The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley Obama and Syria: Britain has helped Obama rediscover the Constitution. No need to thank us, America This afternoon, President Obama was 35 minutes late to deliver his statement on Syria to the media. Well, he likes to keep his fans waiting. But when he did show […]
I came across this interesting article of a 49 year oldhigh school dropout who wrote an open letter warning black teens, especially males, not to repeat the mistake he made: dropping out of high school.: That decision made a mess of his life and he still lives with the consequences of a choice he made […]
I was fifteen in 1963, and I vaguely remember breaking my summer routine to notice that the largest crowd of Americans ever to congregate on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., had gathered to demand their civil rights. They were led by a 34-year-old black preacher from Georgia. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been […]
More than 50 years ago, Cesar Chavez co-founded the United Farm Workers with Dolores Huerta. Today, the UFW and Huerta remain active in their ongoing effort to win citizenship for illegal immigrants. At a recent Bakersfield rally, UFW president Arturo Rodriguez and Huerta joined others outside U.S. Representative Kevin McCarthy’s office to demand immigration reform. […]
I hate to say it, but ObamaCare has been good for me. Now, I know our economy is still struggling – Gallup says the unemployment rate just jumped to nearly 9 percent – and I know ObamaCare uncertainty is making many employers wary of hiring. But I also know that new opportunities exist for people […]
Why would someone who opposes draconian federal mandatory minimum sentences oppose efforts to cut California’s prison population by about 9,600 inmates? Because the federal system and the California system are two different animals. U.S. prosecutors have been known to throw the full weight of the federal government toward putting low-level, nonviolent offenders away for decades. […]
On August 11th, German media got hold of and published an internal Bundesbank report which maintained that Greece would likely need further relaxation of the terms of its rescue bailouts. The report contained revelations that could be deeply embarrassing to the government of Angela Merkel that has maintained forcefully that German taxpayers would face no […]
I don’t know who’s more confused about Syria, President Obama or me. With his alleged use of poison gas against his own people, including women and children, Bashar al-Assad of Syria has crossed our president’s famous red line — again. But unlike the last time Assad crossed the president’s red line, this time President Obama […]
(h/t) Don Loper Since progressives forced school prayer out of the public schools, they have become a cesspool for every kind of human debauchery under the Sun. And who is paying the highest price? Black and Latino children whose parents can’t afford to send them to private schools. School vouchers can save them. But, the […]
I have to wonder how much CO2 was generated by putting this article on the Internet, what with all the energy required (via The Hockey Schtick) (Nature) Lessons from addiction may help to transform our high-carbon lifestyle. It is often said that those of us who live in affluent, developed counties are ‘addicted’ to our […]
Interesting. Polls range from 50% to 80% saying Americans do not want to military strikes on Syria. And 80% want Congressional approval. Yet, Mr. Obama has stated that he’s not going to bother with more than a few meetings and briefings, nothing heavy nor involved, nor is he going to seek a vote, like PM […]
Wow!: What a slap in the face to President Obama!: The Guardianreports Vladimir Putin at a meeting with regional heads in Khabarovsk, Russia. The Russian president went on the offensive against the US over Syria.: : Vladimir Putin has rejected US intelligence claims that Bashar al-Assad’s regime used chemical weapons in Syria, saying it would be […]
Like the old saying goes, “What goes around comes around.”: Every criticism Barack Obama hurled at George Bush run up to war with Iraq is coming back to haunt him in spades.: He’s gotten himself in an untenable foreign policy situation by dithering on an attack on Syria and fermenting a crisis that doesn’t exist.: […]
There may be no official rule book for being a liberal, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t rules. There are actually quite a few rules liberals go by and the more politically active liberals become, the more rigidly they tend to stick to their own code of behavior. These rules, most of which are unspoken, […]
The prospect of a comprehensive administrative amnesty for illegal aliens increased last week.: On Friday, the White House issued a new policy telling immigration agents not to arrest and deport illegal immigrant parents of minor children. The move extends amnesty-in-place to yet another category of aliens. The administration’s step-by-step amnesty began in June 2011 when then-Immigration […]
Republicans have largely squandered an August that should have been spent preparing the American people for a showdown with Democrats over the president’s health care law. Instead, efforts have largely been diverted to a damaging internecine fight between proponents and critics of the defund strategy. Give credit to the defunders for stepping up with a […]
