Ted Turner’s son, Teddy, recently appeared on the Steve Malzberg show for a visit and when the topic turned to CNN, his dad’s cable TV network, he didn’t hold back. The network is “pretty much to the left,” Teddy Turner said. The Turner scion then went on to note that because CNN is so far […]
Once again, we can see where the priorities of Democrats lie, with abortion on demand being one of their top sacraments (The Blaze) With 21 states having adopted bans or severe restrictions on insurance companies from paying for abortions, Washington is alone in seriously considering legislation mandating the opposite. The Reproductive Parity Act, as supporters […]
Recently, Republican Governors Rick Perry of Texas and Terry Branstad of Iowa appealed to those wanting to flee liberal California. “Move your business to our state,” they implore. “We’ll welcome you with open arms here.” They should be careful what they wish for. When my wife and I used to vacation in Colorado in the […]
Ah, the income tax preparation season is upon us. You’re probably wondering why you have to spend a couple of weekends barricaded in a room, sorting through receipts in the faint hope of complying with our confusing income tax laws. The income tax first came to America in 1861. Americans paid it to help finance […]
Republicans won’t let Obama raise taxes again until he agrees to real spending reform, and the President won’t reduce spending. Stalemate. While visiting House Republicans for the first time in years, some Americans thought maybe the President was really going to work with Republicans this time and get serious about a budget. That is, until […]
In his State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama proclaimed, “Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion.” It’s a claim that the president makes frequently — along with the notion that having done all that heavy lifting, Washington now needs to find […]
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which defends human rights and religious freedom said it is pleased that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has issued a public statement expressing concern for American Pastor Saeed Abedini — a U.S. citizen imprisoned in Iran because of his Christian faith. : “We’re very pleased that Secretary […]
I love talk radio; I love Fox News. If it weren’t for the arrival of their strong conservative voices, Americans would still have nothing to listen to but the one-sided news and opinions of the left-liberals who run the mainstream New York-D.C. media. But I’m frustrated. Talk radio and Fox are getting so boring, so […]
The federal government is looking into the serious issue of the “conflict” between humans and elephants. To help out on that important issue, the government generously gave $3.8 million of your tax dollars to study the matter. The princely sum was awarded in 2011 and 2012 for the African Elephant Conservation grant and was sent […]
A largely symbolic hour where Climate Astrologers get to feel good about turning their lights out for one hour while being big “carbon hogs” for the rest of the year….um, wait, this “spreading awareness” and feel-good campaign is actually worse? (Forbes) On March 23, millions of people around the world will be asked again to […]
By meaningless, I mean it is non-binding, as in “it has no force of law”, as in, it is completely symbolic (Fox News) An exhausted Senate approved its first budget in four years early Saturday, calling for almost $1 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade while sheltering safety net programs targeted by House […]
One of the great ironies of the gun control debate is that everyone who calls for gun control still wants a man with a gun protecting him. Every governor in America has armed security. You have to go through a metal detector guarded by men with guns to get into the Capitol building. Barack Obama […]
Growing up in California and getting my education through the Public School system, I inevitably was afraid of guns. I was taught that I should be terrified of anything that is created to kill and especially something that can misfire unexpectedly and kill yourself or a loved one. I personally have even gone shooting with […]
The good news is the national Republican Party has conducted a fairly comprehensive self-examination in an attempt to broaden its appeal and avoid descending into irrelevancy. The bad news is the national Republican Party has conducted a fairly comprehensive self-examination in an attempt to broaden its appeal and avoid descending into irrelevancy. There is benefit […]
When Air Force One touches down in Israel for meetings this week, President Barack Obama has his hands full. Iran is about a year away from developing a nuclear weapon and Obama must convince Israel he is trustworthy before he can suggest to anyone that taking a preemptive strike against Iran is a lousy idea. […]
The Republican National Committee’s latest report, released March 18 at the National Press Club, offers more evidence that the GOP is out of touch-but not in the way it thinks. According to what the RNC called an “autopsy” of what went wrong in the November 2012 election, it concluded that the party is perceived as […]
Obamacare is falling apart before our eyes. The long-term care insurance program known as the CLASS ACT was deemed financially unworkable and shut down by the administration’s own actuaries. Taxpayer-funded health care cooperatives never got off the ground and were shut down in the fiscal cliff deal. Last month the federal Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan […]
What’s the catch? Whenever something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Our country, since the FDR era, has believed in entitlements as an earned benefit that serves as a safety net for all Americans. Unfortunately, those programs, created in the 1940s and only modestly changed since then, are unaffordable, promising more in […]
Famed anti-jihad activist Pamela Geller made a splash with her appearance at the special Breitbart breakout panel, “The Uninvited,” at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). In true Breitbart fashion, Breitbart News–itself a sponsor of the 2013 CPAC–held its own panel and stocked it with some of those voices that were systematically prevented from […]
Obama wouldn’t give a speech at Catholic Georgetown until a holy Christian symbol had been blacked out. In contrast, he didn’t have a problem speaking under the giant visage of dead-of-AIDS, boy-molesting terrorist Yasser Arafat: In case background is needed on Obama’s fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, [G]roups under Arafat’s direct or indirect command — […]
In the the race to fill the vacant seat left by former Congressman — now Senator — Tim Scott (R- South Carolina), we have disgraced former Gov. Mark Sanford (R-South Carolina) and Curtis Bostic. : Sanford: failed to received 50% of the vote, which means there’s going to be a : runoff election on April 2. Robert Behre […]
Gee, what’s not to love about legislation that remakes 1/6th of the US economy, insinuating the Government into all our health decisions, raising costs, creating yet another unfunded liability where a board of unelected bureaucrats will be able to make decisions that affect our quality of health care (IPBA), where companies will drop their generous […]
So, this celebrity who got the part of POTUS decided to head over to Israel, and instead of talking to the Knesset, the elected official body of Israel, he took his neverending campaign to a school to talk to young folks. It was, as Allahpundit put it, “as florid a valentine to Israel and Zionism […]
Hey, Barack Obama, it’s time to put America first. Actually, scratch that; How about just putting HUMAN BEINGS first. Scratch that, how about just putting creatures native to our planet first and hiring actual HUMAN BEINGS from America instead of space aliens? Is that too much to ask? Apparently, according to some geniuses on the […]
“There are many negative consequences to amnesty, but the one that I think ought to concern this crowd is that if amnesty goes through, America becomes California and no Republican will ever win another national election.” — Ann Coulter The day 10-12 million illegal aliens become American citizens, the Democrats pad their voter margin by […]
If Chuck Norris gets a pedicure so that his toes will feel more comfortable when he kicks people in the face, will you think he is a wimp? No. If R. Lee Ermey wants to drink a Cosmopolitan because he feels that it will keep his throat perfectly primed to yell at people, he can […]
It’s business as usual in the post-9/11 world. Your federal government is back to pandering to wealthy travelers from Saudi Arabia. In the eyes of our massive homeland security apparatus, the comfort of Saudis is a higher priority than the safety of American citizens. And thanks to reckless, feckless bureaucrats who fear being labeled “racists,” […]
