Under Hope & Change, even good news is ominous: Over the past year, the Federal Reserve has ramped up its policy of quantitative easing, with the result being new stock market highs and surging bond prices. Moreover, housing prices jumped 8%, the biggest annual gain since 2006. The result is that more than a trillion […]
Mark Sanford, the disgraced former governor of South Carolina, has just won the Republican nomination for an open congressional seat there. He resigned as governor four years ago, after disappearing from office for six days. It turned out he was in Argentina with his mistress, a reporter named Maria Belen Chapur. The legislature tried to […]
Facts: a .08C increase in global temperatures since 1997. A miniscule .28F from 1990-2012. Varying data collections which show warming has paused anywhere from 15-19 years. Warmists who think this is all so dire that they refuse to give up their own fossil fueled lifestyles and refuse to go carbon neutral. Their cult is dying […]
Said budget has managed to annoy both Democrats and Republicans (Washington Post) President Obama plans Wednesday to unveil a $3.77 trillion spending plan that proposes modest new investments in infrastructure and education, major new taxes for the wealthy and significant reforms aimed at reducing the cost of Social Security and Medicare. As Washington barrels toward […]
Every time a tragedy with a gun happens, liberals come out of the woodwork demanding that we ban guns. Of course, that’s just as ridiculous as the idea that we should ban knives after the mass stabbing that has occurred in Houston. Yesterday, 21 year old Dylan Quick went on a rampage at the Lone […]
People say government must “help the little guy, promote equality, level the playing field.” People often go into government to do that. But even when people mean well, it’s natural for them to help out their cronies. David Stockman, who ran the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan, was criticized for saying the […]
A couple of weeks ago, Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson, speaking at The National Press Club, said the nation “would never tolerate white unemployment at 14 and 15 percent.” Black unemployment has been double that of white Americans for more than 50 years. The black youth unemployment rate is more than 40 percent nationally. […]
PARIS — The left revels in sex scandals involving preachy conservative moralists, but when members of the left get caught up in seedy financial scandals, so perverted and twisted is their relationship with money that the effect can be equally jaw-dropping and salacious. Former French Budget Minister Jerome Cahuzac, who left his Socialist government post […]
As public concern mounts over Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s policy of unlimited and unrestrained printing of currency, the political focus on gold is increasing. Each month now, our currency expands by over $80 billion. Each year, the amount that comes into circulation equals the total money supply that was in circulation in 2007, before […]
New York City’s Stuyvesant High School is one of those all too rare public schools for intellectually outstanding students. Such students are often bored to death in schools where the work is geared to the lowest common denominator, and it is by no means uncommon for very bright students to become behavior problems. Recent statistics […]
We received another disappointing jobs report Friday, which now continues an annual pattern of ‘jobs report’ disappointments in the beginning of Spring. Some will blame the sequester, some will blame the tax increases, and some still will find a way to blame George Bush. It is obvious, however, that four years into our “recovery” a […]
In 1975, when asked to explain why Margaret Thatcher was poised to take over the Tory Party, the irascible British satirist Malcolm Muggeridge replied that it was all due to television — and the fact that the telegenic Thatcher had a “certain imbecile charm.” That was one of the nicer things said about an “imbecile” […]
Last year, President Obama’s re-election campaign reworked its operations renaming it Organizing for Action in an effort to leverage the President’s monumental email address list to urge supporters to back the President’s policies. But OFA made a tiny mistake: it didn’t register all the various website addresses for its new effort. Worse, when others jumped […]
Liberty is only a fading memory in a country run by kooks so authoritarian that an elderly man can be arrested for defending himself from a wild beast on his own property. From Taxachusetts: A 76-year-old Auburn man is facing charges after killing a bear in his backyard. Richard Ahlstrand told WBZ-TV he was stocking […]
So, Julian Castro is a very far left Democrat who has worked for the racist Hispanic group La Raza United, which his mother helped found.

While they do get paid a bit more in the “green” economy, a much lower percentage are working in the “green” economy. Supposedly, there are 3.4 million “green” jobs (school bus drivers, scrap metal workers, employee at a bike shop, and, yes, even an oil industry lobbyist) out there, but…. (Climate Progress) ….the green sector […]
After Travis Harris robbed a young woman at gunpoint, he decided to continue his crime spree at a Miami Burger King. After Harris walked in, he thought he had found some easy victims. He pulled his gun on a father eating having a quiet lunch with his family and demanded their valuables. That’s the terrifying […]
Other than Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher was the single finest leader that Europe has produced in the last century. She pumped up Britain’s slumping economy, repaired Britain’s relationship with America, saved the Falklands from an Argentinian invasion and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ronald Reagan as he fought successfully to break the Soviet Union. In other words, […]
Margaret Thatcher has left us. Other than Winston Churchill, she was the finest leader to come out of Europe in the last century. She helped Britain recover economically, she stood shoulder to shoulder with Reagan against the Soviet Union and she set a fine example not just for Brits, not just for women, but for […]

Magpul left Colorado over new gun control laws and Beretta followed suit when Maryland went down the same anti-2nd Amendment path. Now Colt Competition, which makes AR-15 style rifles, is leaving Connecticut. It’s heading to Texas, which is one of America’s most business-friendly and gun-friendly states. So far, no one knows for sure if Governor […]
Since when has it been considered smart to tell your enemies what your plans are? Yet there on the front page of the April 8th New York Times was a story about how unnamed “American officials” were planning a “proportional” response to any North Korean attack.
