If a Martian were to observe the human condition, he would have to conclude that the left has an agenda to deprive children of their innocence. The Martian would have no other explanation for the premature sexualizing of children that the left has engaged in for decades, and which seems to increases almost weekly. The […]
The New York Times had the definitive take on the vicious sell off in gold. To summarize one of their articles: Two years ago gold bugs ran wild as the price of gold rose nearly six times. But since cresting two years ago it has steadily declined, almost by half, putting the gold bugs in […]
A trip to London provides an occasion to compare and contrast British politics and attitudes with those in America. Both have, in different ways, divided government. The Democratic president has been frustrated by the Republican House of Representatives and is likely but not certain to be until January 2017. Britain’s ruling coalition has been occasionally […]
Conservatives are praising last week’s Supreme Court decision in: Fisher v. University of Texas,: which dealt a slight blow to affirmative action. The high court remanded a decision upholding affirmative action back to the trial court, with instructions to use a stricter standard of review, known as strict scrutiny. Opining for the majority in the 5-4 decision, […]
Other than government employee and welfare recipient, there aren’t many occupations that can be pursued without harassment from federal officials. Not even magicians are safe. Marty Hahne, who specializes in magically producing a rabbit for the amusement of children, reports on demands made by our bureaucratic overlords: My USDA rabbit license requirement has taken another […]
Sad when we have to start the post with a facepalm, rather than ending with one (Bloomberg) The El Nino weather pattern that can bring drought to Australia and rain to South America was “unusually active” at the end of the 20th century, possibly due to climate change, a University of Hawaii study found. Researchers […]
Barack Obama is the single worst salesman of America to the world to ever hold the presidency. Basically, if foreigners pay attention to him, they get the idea that they probably shouldn’t like or trust America very much. President Obama pledged $7 billion in aid Sunday to provide electricity to sub-Saharan Africa, as he warned […]
In a long article, the Washington Times discusses how Marco Rubio’s future is tied to the success of the amnesty bill, having been the face of this malarkey. Sen. Marco Rubio was the glue that held together the immigration deal in the Senate, helping set the stage for adding tens of thousands of Border Patrol […]
As a zealous supporter of law enforcement, I believe disgraceful incidents like this are absolutely unacceptable because they undermine faith in law enforcement. A University of Virginia student spent a night and good part of the next day in jail after seven plain-clothes agents from the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control division ambushed her. The student, […]
We still don’t know the extent of the NSA’s unconstitutional spying on Americans, but disturbingly, there is now a bipartisan group of senators suggesting that it may have been trying to create a gun database. Senators are questioning whether the National Security Agency collected bulk data on more than just Americans’ phone records, such as […]
Though statistics prove time and again that disarming a free people leads to more violent crime and thepotential for mass government democide, it hasn’t stopped President Barrack Obama and his Congressional entourage from doing everything in their power to make it more difficult for Americans to legally own firearms. Citing the Sandy Hook mass shooting […]
California Democrat, Representative Nancy Pelosi recently informed the nation that July Fourth isn’t just for fireworks and dissing the Brits any more. It is also the day we should “celebrate” Obamacare. Sure July Fourth is traditionally celebrated as the day we declared independence from Great Britain, an action that preceded the Revolutionary War and set […]
I long for the sounds of summer I knew as a kid. In the ’60s and ’70s, you see, most of our neighbors kept their windows open day and night, allowing the outside sounds to come in and the inside sounds to go out. I woke every morning to the birds chirping outside my window […]

It seems every day in the 224 years since our Constitution was written, we, as a nation, have moved further away from the “more perfect union” it brought into being. Right from the beginning, governments, both state and federal, were fighting to break free from the clearly laid out box this beautifully crafted document imposed […]
In a June 24 report for NBC’s Rock Center, video for a story was deceptively edited and misleading voice overs added to quotes from an Hasidic Rabbi that made it seem as if the Rabbi was insisting that allegations of sex abuse should only be handled internally, within the community, and should not be taken […]
I’ve often said that I have no problem with the 10 Commandments being on public property: the religious clause is about government establishing a nation religion, not against the government displaying religion. The clause was in response to how much the Church of England was involved in government pre-revolution. That said, I’ve also stated that […]
As I listened to the convoluted legal gobbledygook passing for erudite Constitutional expertise from the United States Supreme Court as they attempted to justify same sex marriage, my mind was flooded with the haunting words of some of the great men of history. I thought of Aristotle, who said, “Political society exists for the sake […]
I don’t know what President Obama was thinking. Speaking in Northern Ireland last week, he said Catholic schools are divisive: “If towns remain divided – if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden -that too encourages […]
Here’s the problem: Edward Snowden did a great service to American freedom by proving National Intelligence Director James Clapper and NSA Director General Keith Alexander perjured themselves before Congress when they lied about spying on millions of innocent Americans. Edward Snowden loses credibility as an All-American whistleblower when China and Russia gleefully shuttle him from […]
When the Senate passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, 68-32, the successful vote set off loud rounds of self-congratulatory backslapping among the Gang of 8, the Hispanic lobby, the Chamber of Commerce and immigration lawyers. The White House, which had veto power over the bill, chimed in too. Look more deeply […]
Will the left ever stop playing the race card? Not in my lifetime, it won’t. The Obama left in this country acts like we’re still living in 1960, when racism was legally, socially and morally sanctioned across the South and elsewhere. Here’s a newsflash, folks. It’s 2013. Racism is not extinct and never will be […]
The cover for the July issue of The New Yorker celebrates the end of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the nullification of California’s one-man-one-woman marriage amendment with a portrait of Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie in each other’s arms as they watch a TV showing an image of the nine Supreme Court […]
Not that many elected officials actually care about that pesky Constitution thingy (Washington Times) Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican, said Friday that the Senate immigration bill is a revenue measure, which makes it unconstitutional because all revenue bills must start in the House. “Not only is the Senate amnesty bill an abuse of taxpayers […]
But, as we’ve seen, most Warmist supporters forget that they’re cult is supposed to be based in environmentalism, and tell us that a few bird deaths are no big deal, not when we’re saving Gaia from catching a fever and having Bad Weather. (UK Daily Mail) There had been only eight recorded sightings of the […]
The Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012 is likely to be reintroduced either this year or the next, and that’s a good thing. As the bill remains in a senatorial limbo, the fate of internet radio is something that’s uncertain to everyone. Outrageous royalty fees threaten to diminish even the most successful companies in the […]
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once […]
