Special Veterans

I recently read a great story about the oldest living American veteran. And then it made me think about my brother Wieland, who gave his life in Vietnam. Last Friday, Fox News reported that Richard Arvine Overton, a World War II Army veteran, would be commemorating his 107th Memorial Day from the front porch of […]

Senate Takes Bite of Apple

I hate Apple. There was a time when I would look at my iPhone, and my heart would skip a beat. With its stylish white-and-gray cover, it felt like a luxury car I could hold in my hot little hand. It told me things I didn’t know. It told me how to get where I […]

Two prime ministers

Following the hacking death of a British soldier by two alleged Islamic extremists, Prime Minister David Cameron said, “There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act.” Winston Churchill thought otherwise, but he lived in a time before political correctness ran amok and drew on his personal experiences serving in the Sudan and […]

What if a Republican Did That?

Ronn Torossian: asks some basic, self-explanatoy questions: Wasn’t America aghast when the President had an enemy list, the tax authorities harassed people with political agenda different than theirs, and the President monitored the media ? Is much of that not what President Nixon was impeached for ? But it seems as if President Obama is evading […]

Libya Deja Vu: Arming Syrian Rebels Likely to Usher in al Qaeda

Syria has been at civil war for the past two years, raging between Sunni rebels and hardline President Bashar al-Assad’s: Shiite-controlled government. More than 70,000 Syrians have been killed since March 2011, with millions more displaced. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Democratic chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, offered legislation earlier this month to allow the […]

Dionne: It’s Not Easy Being Obama

You know why? Because all you people who criticize him are raaaaacists, per the Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne. Let’s skip all the way to the end to find out how simply awesome Obama is. He’s an anti-ideological leader in an ideological age, a middle-of-the-road liberal skeptical of the demands placed on a movement leader, a […]

DHS Memo: 3D Guns Give People Power; the Sky is Falling!

As readers may already know, I am a huge fan of DefCad’s 3D-printed gun, the Liberator. Sure, it’s bulky, prone to breaking and is a single-shot pistol that I sure wouldn’t grab as my primary defense weapon if I heard a methhead breaking into my house in the middle of the night. What makes the […]

At least one Milwaukee mom won’t be sending her child to school on cross-dressing ‘Switch It Up Day’

MILWAUKEE — Deidri Hernandez’s seven-year-old son won’t be in school today, after officials at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities confirmed they’re still holding “Switch It Up Day” — a time for students to come dressed as members of the opposite sex. Hernandez tells EAGnews the day was originally billed as “Gender Bender Day,” […]

Man Bags for the Modern Male

What to get for the contemporary male who has everything? The Man Bag. The Man Bag is a high-style satchel – a purse, though its creators hate when you call it that. It’s designed to hold the modern man’s wallet, keys, sunglasses, iPod, cell phone, body spray, hair goop, diary and whatever other junk he […]

Obama Uses 1917 Espionage Act to Go After Reporters

There is one problem with the entirely justified if self-interested media squawking about the Justice Department snooping into the phone records of multiple Associated Press reporters and Fox News’s James Rosen. The problem is that what the AP reporters and Rosen did arguably violates the letter of the law. The search warrant in the Rosen […]

Obama To Media: Support the Stop Me Before I Kill Again Act

al Die Hard movie, John McClane is desperately trying to get the police to notice terrorists have taken over Nakatomi Tower. He’s already pulled the fire alarm and called 911, but no one had taken him seriously. Finally, an officer is dispatched to check it out and, after a half-hearted look, he decides there’s nothing […]

Jay Sekulow & ACLJ Vow To Sue The IRS

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents 27 Tea Party organizations unlawfully targeted by the Internal Revenue Service believes the White House assertion that the IRS misconduct of targeting conservative groups ended in May 2012 does not match the facts. The ACLJ has received 26 IRS questionnaires sent to 18 clients during […]

Washington Bridge Collapse Being Used to Push Big Government

By all accounts the Interstate 5 bridge collapse in Washington State was a result of an over sized truck load as opposed to “failing infrastructure.” But a plea for greater federal spending figured prominently in many reports on the accident nonetheless. Naturally, many on the left stampeded immediately to decrying “austerity,” or accused the Republicans […]

NY Times: Obama Admin Cast Wide Net In Leaker Cases

How big a net? This big (NY Times) Even before the F.B.I. conducted 550 interviews of officials and seized the phone records of Associated Press reporters in a leak investigation connected to a 2012 article about a Yemen bomb plot, agents had sought the same reporters’ sources for two other articles about terrorism. In a […]

The Danger in D.C. is Bipartisanship

The growing scandals enveloping the Obama administration are becoming a series of shiny baubles being dangled before the right and the left alike. The right wants to impeach Obama, while the left, of course, wants to blindly defend him. Meanwhile, the American people are being sold a bill of goods that this is a partisan […]

Scandal Advice from the Master

Bill Clinton, wearing a white toga and a crown of gold, sat in a garden while attractive women fed him grapes. President Obama, having just suffered the most devastating week of his presidency, sat nearby, seeking advice in the art of telling whoppers. Using the Socratic method of teaching, Clinton began to tutor his new […]

Richard Milhous Obama

The cover-up is worse than the crime. The crime is so heinous it requires a cover-up. Now, heads are rolling as President Obama throws more supporters under a bus convoy. The first was a fake, as Obama grandly displayed the “forced resignation” of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller. Since he was already going to retire, […]

Weathering the Politicians

Yesterday I read an interesting article in Newsweek about the connection between tornadoes and climate change. Newsweek’s story explained how top climate scientists were concerned about several ominous and fundamental changes occurring in Earth’s weather patterns. Evidence that Earth’s climate was changing in the wrong direction, the article said, included a shorter growing season in […]

Triplegate: It’s Like Saul Alinsky is Running the Country

With three full-blown scandals currently surrounding the Obama administration, there are too many “-gates” to name just one. There is the cover-up of the fatal Benghazi terrorist attack, the IRS targeting conservatives, and the Justice Department spying on members of the press. The level of corruption is so high right now, it is like Saul […]

I Made a New Word LXV

Lerner-itis (n.) Mental illness triggered when the patient finds other people are forming opinions about him that he doesn’t like. The patient starts to behave irrationally, handing out orders to people about what to think and what not to think. The reasoning seems to be, since the subject of concern is the reputation of the […]

Mean Liberals

So the producer and co-creator of The Daily Show, Lizz Winstead, made a bad joke about the Oklahoma Tornado hitting a red state. “This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.” Then she apologized and backpedaled like crazy in the best self-deprecating manner should could rustle up, once […]
