How low will supporters of the Gang of Eight immigration bill go to get their way? This low: They’ve shamelessly branded an accomplished Ivy League-trained quantitative analyst a “racist” and will stop at nothing to destroy his career as they pave their legislative path to another massive illegal alien benefits bonanza. __ Jason Richwine works […]
“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference — at this point, what difference does it make?” That was how then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton famously brushed off the question of when she knew that the […]
Now that we know that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew that Benghazi was a terrorist attack three hours after it started and that somebody in Washington barred sending reinforcements to the beleaguered consulate, it’s time to ask why. The best way to do that — the only way to do that — is through […]
Foreign policy matters rarely top the list of voter concerns. That’s especially true in times of challenging economic news. In recent weeks, though, national security topics have been working their way into the headlines. First came the Boston Marathon bombings and questions about terrorist connections. The civil war in Syria entered the news with reports […]
The Associated Press on Wednesday mischaracterized the Benghazi hearings as merely a Republican event even though it is an official House investigation. In the headline of its report, the Associated Press downplayed the official hearings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee–that has both Democrats and Republicans on it–into the failures surrounding the 2012 […]
Word has it Sharyl Attkisson is on thin ice at CBS News for practicing journalism, in arrogant violation of the shamelessly pro-Obama propaganda network’s policies. Her excellent and therefore unforgivable investigation of the impeachment-worthy Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal was bad enough. Now she has been failing to accept the Regime’s lies at face value […]
Despite the massive predictions of doom and gloom surrounding Greenland ice melt, it seems that Greenland is not melting any faster (and 2,500 Manhattans above normal so far this year). (Grist) Back in 2006, scientists in Greenland made an alarming observation: Glaciers were crumbling into the ocean twice as fast. And not in little cocktail-sized […]
We’ve seen several states take this route, including Kansas (and other states, such as South Carolina, are looking to block implementation of Obamacare). Missouri is the latest (Fox News) The Missouri Legislature sent the governor a bill Wednesday that would expand gun rights and declare all federal gun regulations unenforceable, in a response to President […]
It had never occurred to me that the Obama Administration might be trying to buy so much ammo that it dried up the supply until it could get gun control passed because it’s incredibly expensive, wasteful, poor governance and completely unfeasible over the long haul. On the other hand, those terms seem like a pretty […]
After Kansas passed a law protecting the citizens of that state from 2nd Amendment violations by the federal government, Eric Holder got very upset. The office of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback received a letter from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday, informing Brownback that his state’s recent passage of Senate Bill (S.B.) 102, which […]
The Obama Administration hasn’t been a friend to Christians. It’s promoted abortion and gay marriage. It’s persecuted Catholics. The military has become hostile to Christians under Obama. But now, the Obama Administration wants pastors and churches to join its push for gun control. Vice President Joe Biden has a commandment for pastors, rabbis and nuns: […]
If you listened to liberals, you’d think guns were only used in school shootings and suicides when they aren’t causing innocent people to commit crimes for no reason. But of course, stories like this one show you that liberalism and reality often part company. It appears two Midlands men may have picked the wrong garage […]
As a general rule, corporations should be able to build plants where they want, whether it’s in America or elsewhere. Moreover, if they choose to go overseas, we should be asking, “Why is that?” Are our corporate taxes too high? Do we have too many regulations? Is there something else that we can do as […]
Every few months since at least 2006, The New York Times takes time out from brow-beating Evangelicals to praise them for supporting amnesty for illegal aliens. Most of the “Evangelicals” the Times cites are liberal frauds, far from “unlikely allies” in amnesty, as alleged. It is a specialty of the left to pose as something […]
Remember when President Obama used to warn Syria’s Bashar al-Assad to stop his mass killing and step down? Muammar Gadhafi’s dictatorship had then just collapsed under Western bombing. The murders of Americans in Benghazi and the subsequent postwar tribal mess in Libya were still in the future. In those heady days of 2011, the rage […]
Three young Cleveland girls missing and presumed dead turned up alive and in good health. A hero of the story is a neighbor, Charles Ramsey, a black man who helped free the girls from the home in which they were apparently imprisoned for some 10 years. Among other things, Ramsey said: “I knew something was […]
In 1998 when President Clinton signed the bipartisan Internet Tax Freedom Act, which prohibited state and local taxation of Internet access and Internet-only services, the purpose was to promote the commercial potential of the Internet, especially for start-ups and small businesses. Congress extended the bill three times, the latest until 2014. Now there’s the Marketplace […]
Markets work. But sometimes they take time. That’s the uncomfortable lesson that proprietors of America’s colleges and universities are learning. For many years, market forces didn’t seem to apply to them. There was a widespread societal consensus that a college education was a good economic investment. Politicians gave lip service to the idea that everyone […]
It should come as no surprise that President Obama told Ohio State students at graduation ceremonies last week that they should not question authority and they should reject the calls of those who do. He argued that “our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule” has been so successful that trusting the government is the same […]
In Hopey Changey America, the media’s job is not to inform but to misinform the public so as to advance a statist agenda. It has done its job well regarding gun crime: Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and […]
While “progressives” have existed in both major American political Parties for over a century, in recent years “progressives” have consumed the Democratic Party’s structural hierarchy while simultaneously increasingly insinuating themselves into the ranks of Republican Party leadership. This has led to a blurring in the minds of the American voter of the distinction between the […]
I’ve had one small business owner who is a friend of mine tell me that she’s dropping her company’s health care because of Obamacare. However, other businesses are going a different route and are cutting back on employee hours to make sure their workers aren’t eligible under the Affordable Care Act. This was an expected […]
That’s the question that might get answered today. Perhaps we’ll also get an answer to “why did the Obama administration engage in a cover up?” I think we all know there was a cover up, an attempt to deflect what really happened in Benghazi initially, till Team O decided, 2 weeks after the 9/11 attack, […]
Well, this is a fine how-do-ya-do for a hump day morning Immigration’s new ally: Tea partiers Did your BS detector just ping? Immigration reform supporters are about to get some new conservative bonafides – prominent tea party backers. Several conservative activists and tea party group leaders are meeting with Sen. Marco Rubio Tuesday afternoon to […]
Does Barack Obama deserve to be impeached over Benghazi? Mike Huckabee certainly thinks so. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is now openly talking about impeachment, saying he does not believe Barack Obama will survive the remaining 3:½ years of his presidency. “When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, […]
Last week, I got together with Newt Gingrich at the South Carolina Energy & Opportunity Forum which was sponsored by the Southeast Energy Alliance and the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce (A special thanks goes out to Gerri McDaniel and Adam Waldeck for helping to set the whole thing up). I was glad to […]
Voting for Mark Sanford would be the Republican equivalent of voting for Marion Barry, Barney Frank or Jesse Jackson Jr. #Weshouldbebetter — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) March 25, 2013 For whatever it’s worth, key GOP movers & shakers in Mark Sanford’s district are telling me they’re confident he’s going to win. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) May […]
