These are the types of invasive tax maneuvers that boiled the blood of our Founding Fathers. But there’s still a way out of all our Internal Revenue Service wars and woes. U.S. News & World Report highlighted some more encroaching news this past week in the article “IRS High-Tech Tools Track Your Digital Footprints.” The […]
What right-minded person can deny the current uncanny applicability of the admonition by the Prophet Isaiah, uttered some 2,700 years ago, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness”? Increasingly today, what is undeniably evil is depicted as good and what most traditionalists, at […]
Yesterday, Jews around the world observed Holocaust Day. This day ought to be universally observed because the lessons of the Holocaust are universal. Here are some of them: 1. People are not basically good At any time in history, the belief that people are basically good was irrational and naive. To believe it after the […]
The Associated Press announced last week that it no longer sanctions the term “illegal immigrant” in its stylebook. Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll explained that the AP has decided it is wrong for reporters to use the word “illegal” to describe a person, but it’s OK to use the word to “describe only an action, such […]
In 1983 when President Reagan ordered the deployment of missiles in Europe as part of his “peace through strength” strategy to counter the Soviet Union, the very liberal town of Takoma Park, Md., declared itself a “nuclear free zone.” City officials passed an ordinance known as The Takoma Park Nuclear Free Zone Act, which said, […]
Remarks by members of the European Union’s elite suggesting that banking deposit seizures may become standard practice appear to have heightened the risk of a European bank run and perhaps even a catastrophic collapse of the euro. Any threat to the euro is a threat to the European public’s conception of the Union’s manifest destiny. […]
Political fancy talk is always fascinating. By this I mean, the essential lies that government tells by re-naming something to make it sound benign or even beneficial when it is really just another anti-American, liberty-killing government initiative, or giving it a harsh label in order to destroy whatever activity that government wants destroyed. Here I […]
Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady–and for a reason–has passed away. Thatcher was one of the trinity of world leaders that changed the world in the 1970s and 80s.

by: Anna Maria Hoffman In today’s society, young, decent men are rare to find.: This problem has become so serious that A.J. Kieling even wrote a book about it called: Where Have All the Good Men Gone?: in 2008.: When we think of young men today, we think of metrosexual, hipster, and unmanly guys who can’t bait a hook, […]
Even such a staid publication as Forbes has become exceedingly alarmed by the stockpiling of handgun ammunition by the inscrutable Department of Homeland Security. Yet beleaguered Border Patrol agents recently received an email reading in part: Enforcement Personnel, Due to budget concerns and ammunition availability, we will not be getting issued any proficiency ammunition for […]
I wrote this Tweet the other day (dropped an “it” at the beginning. Sue me) Isn’t ironic that Al Gore has a divinity degree and becomes the high priest of “climate change” — WilliamTeach (@WilliamTeach) April 6, 2013 Seems relevant (via Steven Goddard) (WKZO) Climate change could get worse quickly if huge amounts of extra […]
Unsurprisingly, most of the legacy media have ignored this. Now, if it was 2 people complaining about a mildly religious piece of art in a school, it would be huge news (Breitbart) Seven hundred retired Military Special Operations professionals from the organization “Special Operations Speaks” sent a letter to the House of Representatives urging members […]
It was an extraordinarily creepy moment. MSNBC host, Melissa Harris-Perry was doing a “Lean Forward” spot for the network. In it, she complained that we “haven’t had a very collective notion that these are our children” and actually uttered the words, “We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to […]
For awhile after he was defeated in 2008, a bitter John McCain fought back against the man who beat him. But today, Barack Obama doesn’t have a better friend on the Republican side of the aisle than John McCain.

Last week I wrote about the: battle for words and need to reclaim the language. We have to make sure words have meaning, no matter who how offensive a tiny slice of people find some of them. No sooner had the ink dried on that piece than the Associated Press stepped up and declared the term […]
According to Bill O’Reilly, pundits cannot appeal to the Bible any longer for public policy regarding homosexuals that want to get married. At least I think it’s just in regards to homosexual marriages. Hell, I don’t know when and where we can use the Scripture any longer. Can we still use it in church? Does […]
I found something on the IRS Web site I never expected to see: quotations from great minds on taxes. The first two agitated me: “Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., U.S. Supreme Court justice “The power of taxing people and their property is essential to the very existence […]
We Americans are lucky, though we seldom reflect on it, that we have good neighbors. In East Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines face challenges from China over islands they have long claimed in the East China Sea. In Europe, Germany and other prosperous nations face demands for subsidies from debt-ridden nations to […]
As he disgustingly used law enforcement officials as a back drop in Colorado, President Obama uttered a few lines about his un-Constitutional gun grabbing policy ideas that truly proves he’s the best lying demagogue to ever sit in the Oval Office. Obama had a message about elected officials, who they are, and what they want […]
Would you be surprised that Illinois, which contains the murder capital of the US (Chicago) despite draconian and oppressive gun laws aimed at law abiding citizens, is leading the way?

Advocates of gun control in Colorado used the massacre committed by “Batman killer” James Holmes to push new legislation. However, it turns out that Holmes’ psychiatrist warned campus police a month before the shooting that Holmes was dangerous. Had they paid attention, the 12 people who died while having a pleasant night out at the […]
The oldest active firearms manufacturer in the world, Beretta, is leaving the state of Maryland over new gun control laws. One of the primary reasons is that the new laws would make the company’s 9 mm pistol illegal. Jeffrey Reh, general counsel for Beretta said, “Why expand in a place where the people who built […]
“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” – Thomas Jefferson So why is anyone surprised to learn that Planned Parenthood “doctors” may be killing babies on the operating table after they are born? The current President of the United States favored the […]
After feeling guilty of late for losing interest in America’s political landscape, I decided to go to confession. “Father, forgive me, for I have sinned. Like so many low-information voters, I am having trouble maintaining interest in what is going on in Washington.” “Explain, my son.” “Father, polls by the Pew Research Center and others […]
Listeners often call my radio program saying their state stole money from them, or they received a letter warning them of the impending theft. The lucky ones get a letter. Jeff Rogatz tells News Journal reporter Jonathon Starkey of his youngest son’s education account, kept at the brokerage firm Charles Schwab. One month, the account […]
Readers share their ideas. Since the massacre in December in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 children and six elementary-school staff members dead, readers have passed on a host of so-called remedies. Let’s make gun owners be licensed and pass a test, some have suggested. So the problem is, I ask them, that these mass killers […]
Billions of Christians around the world celebrated Easter last Sunday, but not our media. Once again the holiest day of the Christian year slipped under their godless radar. I saw Easter pop up in the news a only few times last weekend, but the stories had nothing to do with God or religion, or the […]
