CHURCHVILLE, VA–Author Eugene Linden writes books on the far edge of the environmental movement. He recently wrote, a bit hysterically, in The Daily Beast: “we need leaders with the courage to steamroll the deniers and the vested interests . . . Climate change is a civilization killer, and if we go on down the climate […]
The Freedom from Religion Foundation — one of the nation’s most radical atheist organizations — has filed a federal lawsuit to remove “In God We Trust” from our nation’s currency. They claim America’s coins are discriminatory — could one imagine such a thing? Yet acknowledging and respecting our nation’s heritage is not “discrimination” — it’s […]
What has our Department of Homeland Security metamorphosed into? Our third largest government agency has been stockpiling weapons and ammunition at a very alarming rate. Since early 2012, DHS and its 200,000 employees have purchased so much ammunition that many of the top weapon and bullet manufacturers have had trouble keeping up with the increased […]
Obama friend and mentor Bill Ayers and his sociopathic bride aren’t the only Weather Underground terrorists to find comfortable homes in academia: Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin – who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard – now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at […]
Will The AP, NY Times, and others (The Global Warming Policy Foundation has an interesting list with quotes) who published the findings of the Marcott paper retract their stories and publish updates, since the “science” of the Marcott paper are entirely in question? Here’s Bjørn Lomborg 3 weeks ago, a paper in Science showed the […]
If by a “tragically familiar pattern“, as their headline reads, they mean “Democrats attempting to take away Constitutional rights and punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty”, well, yes. In 1989 a deranged gunman shot up a school (from outside) in Stockton, California with a “military-style rifle” (nice to know that the writer […]
1) The worst places in America for minorities to live are run lock, stock and barrel by the Democrat Party and yet the residents of those areas overwhelmingly blame Republicans for their plight. 2) We give out condoms in high schools, our entertainment on TV is DRENCHED in sex while porn and strip clubs are […]
The Obama administration treated the creation of “democracy” in the Middle East as a Good Thing. Ironically, those who created the United States of America viewed democracy with fear– and created a Constitutional republic instead. Everything depends on how you define democracy. In its most basic sense, democracy means majority rule. But there can be […]
Last week, I gave 12 examples of how religious liberty has been assaulted in just the past two years in the U.S. Here are about two dozen more instances just for good measure, as reported by the Family Research Council, the office of Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., and various media outlets. –The following public institutions […]
I was reading the Old Testament book of Amos a few days ago and was reminded that liberation theologians get much comfort from that prophet’s decrying the mistreatment of the poor. At about the same time, I read a piece by a brilliant conservative analyst with whom I sometimes disagree who was arguing that some […]
I offer the single most politically incorrect statement a modern American — indeed a modern Westerner, period — can make: I first look to the Bible for moral guidance and for wisdom. I say this even though I am not a Christian (I am a Jew, and a non-Orthodox one at that). And I say […]
In 2009, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom announced a city policy that directed police not to impound the cars of unlicensed drivers if those drivers could find a licensed friend to drive away their car. The idea, then-police chief (now District Attorney) George Gascon told me at the time, was to help those who could not get […]
When you’re president, every day is a holiday. This April is National Financial Capability Month, as declared last week in a presidential proclamation. “I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices,” quoth President Obama. If April is the cruelest month, as […]
There are many successful liberals, so why do so many of them wish to subsidize failure for the poor, instead of showing them how to succeed? Take Dr. Ben Carson, as one example. Dr. Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., is enjoying a certain amount of celebrity unrelated to his […]
Whereas the liberal news media takes pride in blasting the so-called “right-wingers”, the recently released “The State of the News Media 2013” by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism: offered interesting tidbits. Interesting observations for this PR agency owner: Liberal-network MSNBC is the most opiniated cable network — with 85% of the network’s […]
After selling off an astounding 56% between October of 2007 and March 2009, the S&P 500 has staged a rally for the ages, surging 120% and recovering all of its lost ground too. This stunning turnaround certainly qualifies as one of the more memorable, and unusual, stock market rallies in history. The problem is that […]
CNN recently launched a new podcast project headed by Dean Obeidallah and in its second episode the trio of hosts pondered whether or not one is a bigot for opposing gay marriage. Obeidallah, who bills himself as a “political comedian,” co-hosts the podcast with CNN commentator, GOP consultant, and gay rights activist Margaret Hoover and […]
Toll roads are appealing to many on the right, because the fees don’t look like taxes; motorists are charged for the voluntary action of driving on a specific road. Toll roads appear to be run by private entities, not the government. Also known as turnpikes, they are becoming an increasingly popular way to raise money […]
There’s no better time than April Fools Day to check in on the progress of the global warming crisis: Debate about the reality of a two-decade pause in global warming and what it means has made its way from the sceptical fringe to the mainstream. Even global warming profiteers have had to admit that their […]
The House Republicans recently came out with a budget that repeals Obamacare. There have been numerous interviews with budget committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) about the budget he has presented. All of the reporting seems to be focused on the political angles, or the practicality of the proposal. Asking about who this will help politically […]
While Warmists call people who do not believe in “climate change” (a wholly unscientific term) anti-science, this is what Warmists call “science” (Don’t be fooled by the spring snows, they are further proof of global warming) Unsurprisingly, David Robert Grimes takes the Warmist line that massive cold and snow is caused by heat, because it […]
One of the things about this debate about “universal background checks” is that no one within the elected “representative” community is saying that this is about handguns: it seems to be aimed at all gun purchases and transfers. And, to be honest, I personally have no problem with a quick background check on all gun […]
It all started with a conflict between an antagonistic professor and one brave student at Florida Atlantic University. Ryan Rotela was told by his professor to write Jesus Christ’s name on a piece of paper and stomp on it. Rotela defiantly refused and in retaliation, a formal disciplinary action was started against him. But, before […]
Google has long been known as a left-wing corporation that’s decidedly unfriendly to conservatives and Christians, but Google hit a new low yesterday by making a point of celebrating the birthday of far left-wing union activist Cesar Chavez on Easter Sunday. Certainly Google is a private corporation and can celebrate anyone or anything it chooses, […]
