Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Raul Labrador (R., Idaho) is generally considered to be a little squishy on illegal immigration, but you do at least have to give him credit for treating immigration reform as the political plutonium that it is instead of a glibly sticking the GOP’s neck in a noose and jumping off a stool without a second […]
Rarely a day goes by without one of the big news sites complaining in some form or fashion about the coming hike in the student loan percentage. It could be an elected politician, a student group, or Obama, or simply the news outlet. Like today in The Politico Congress returns to Washington this week groping […]
I’m a great admirer of the work done by James O’Keefe and when I heard he had a new book out, Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy, I couldn’t wait to do an interview with him. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Now, I’ve met you in […]
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and the Obama Administration libs have gotta lie. Apparently so anyway, because they do it habitually. For example, when a reporter caught Secretary of State John Kerry aboard his yacht while a coup was taking place in Egypt, they flat out denied it was true. How much sense does […]

President Obama is “historic.” That refrain has been beaten into our heads time and again since Jan. 20, 2009. This is historic, that is historic. Everything is historic. We’d probably know even more “historic” stuff if only we — and not the National Security Agency — had the job of reading journalists’ private email. But […]
Have you heard about Alec Baldwin’s homophobic comments on Twitter? You certainly should have after he said this (Warning: Obscene language): The fact that Alec Baldwin said this and was just excused for it without a second thought is absolutely disgusting to me. So, I reached out to my friend Jimmy LaSalvia, who is one […]
On: March 1, President Obama signed the Sequester, a budget control act that dramatically affects our nation’s military. We are cutting our carrier force in the all-important Persian Gulf in half, and the Army is planning to cut tens of thousands of American soldiers.On: May 10: Secretary of State John Kerry waived human rights conditions placed on more […]
On Saturday I saw the new summer actioner White House Down and found the main conceit of the film laughably stupid, as is all Hollywood fare of this type. Oh, it was a fun flick if you just forget about reality, and I am not just talking about the comic book-like action sequences, either. No, […]
What could possibly go wrong? (Washington Post) The Obama administration announced Friday that it would significantly scale back the health law’s requirements that new insurance marketplaces verify consumers’ income and health insurance status. Instead, the federal government will rely more heavily on consumers’ self-reported information until 2015, when it plans to have stronger verification systems […]
Listen as Professor West decries black poverty under the Obama Administration. As: Rush Limbaugh: noted: Cornel West and his buddy, Tavis Smiley, I mean, these guys, there’s a lot about them that you can caricature. They are really serious about trying to eliminate poverty. : They may not be going about it in the most efficient way, you […]
PORTLAND, Ore. — To some people, nothing is sacred. Not even Fourth of July fireworks. Fireworks have been a staple of Independence Day celebrations since the earliest years of the republic. The tradition dates back to July 3, 1776, when John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, suggesting that that America’s birthday “ought to […]
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” – […]
In the course of human events it is necessary, now and again, to reaffirm some of the thoughts and principles we have lost sight of. And so it is that we need to renew our independence. More than 55 percent of Americans now receive some form of federal government benefit – and many of us […]
Risk your and your family’s lives for up to five months across uncertain seas, dining on salted meats and hard biscuits in pursuit of some frighteningly disturbing zealotry called “religious freedom.” Contemporary liberal American politicians and “properly” educated bureaucrats recognize this danger to the old cause of governmental elitism and so counter it by parroting […]
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis made a name for herself at the end of June by launching a filibuster on the floor of the state senate to stop new regulations on abortion in The Lone Star State, and now she is warning Governor Perry to “stop demonizing women” by pursuing such restrictions. The bill Perry […]
During a Republican presidential administration, this would be big news. Heck, it would have been big news from the get-go, with angry opinion pieces and editorials demanding massive Congressional inquiries. At least two American federal agents were killed by the 2,400 guns that were “walked.” At least 200 Mexican civilians, including children, have been killed […]
One has to read between the lines Egypt Crisis Finds Washington Largely Ambivalent and Aloof In polo shirt, shorts and sandals, President Obama headed to the golf course Friday morning with a couple of old friends, then flew to Camp David for a long weekend. Secretary of State John Kerry was relaxing at his vacation […]
McDonald’s feeds 68 million people a day, 88 percent of the WORLD population recognizes the Golden Arches, and 1 in 8 Americans has worked there during his lifetime. Is McDonald’s a great restaurant? Not really. It wouldn’t be on most people’s Top 10. How many people have a favorite food that’s on its menu? Again, […]
The Egyptian people have spoken loudly. They were tired of the broken promises and the poor excuses. They were tired of the Muslim Brotherhood’s dictatorial ruling style and discriminatory practices against Christians and other non Muslims. They were tired of their President, Mohamed Morsi. Millions upon millions of anti-Morsi protestors filled the streets of Cairo […]
The Resistance Movement is not merely a movement devoted to the preservation of the rights outlined in the Second Amendment; the Resistance Movement is dedicated to preserving all of our constitutional rights. As such, we believe that the attempts to disarm the public are meant to remove the power of resistance of tyranny from the […]
So much for the denials. An administration that throughout its 2012 re-election campaign denied it was waging a War on Coal has now come out and publicly declared its intention to shut down coal-fired power plants – putting hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work and sending electricity prices skyrocketing. Obama claims he can […]
For once we have a president who delivers on his promises. Obama said he would fundamentally transform America; if you fell asleep in 2008 and woke up now, would you believe even half of what you see on the news? He said he would cause energy prices to skyrocket; despite the discovery of massive energy […]
Science is always pushing the envelope to see what it can create, but babies with three parents? That is what a recent report out of Britain claims. Soon babies born of DNA of one man and the donor eggs of two women might be on the horizon. A report at the Daily Mail says that […]
Why is NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg such a popular fellow? Because he perfectly encapsulates what Progressives stand for: bigger and bigger governmental control over Other People’s lives, from big things down to the tiny things. This is what Progressives want, but notice the use of the phrase “Other People’s lives”. When it comes to laws, […]
Of course, this is one of the great things about American democracy (don’t start with the “it’s a Republic” thing), based on the 1st Amendment: allowing other viewpoints. Which is interesting for the NY Times, because, at best, they rarely allow more than super-squishy Republicans to publish op-eds. Anyhow, here’s the Brookings Institute’s Shadi Hamid, […]
