Global Temperatures Not Matching Warmist Prognostication

Climate doom? Yeah, not happening (UK Daily Mail) The Mail on Sunday today presents irrefutable evidence that official predictions of global climate warming have been catastrophically flawed.

GOP Growth And Opportunity Plan Looks To Be Mostly Squishy

Perhaps there will be more in it once it is released than media outlets are reporting, but, probably not. The entrenched GOP leadership doesn’t seem to have a clue (Daily Caller) Why did Republicans fail to stop Barack Obama from winning another four years in the White House and what can they do to get […]

Sooner Or Later Progressives Will Get Around To You

First, they came for the smokers. No one would argue smoking is good for you. But it’s legal; growing tobacco is even subsidized by the government. Yet, when governments started limiting the right of people to smoke in places public and private, non-smokers did nothing. They didn’t like smoke; they’d heard second-hand smoke was dangerous. […]

Republicans clueless about minorities

Republicans are losing elections in part because they are losing key demographic groups. Some of those groups, like Hispanics, are growing, making them impossible to ignore. 37 percent of the country is nonwhite.

NY Times: The Real Spending Problem Is Tax Breaks

Not actual spending, not $16 trillion in debt, not borrowing 43 cents for every federal dollar spent, not wasting taxpayer tax dollars on pork and projects that should be funded by private entities, not hundreds of billions in cost overruns, not the POTUS using up millions to fly across the country to make a 30 […]

McCain and Graham, Irrelevant or Dangerous

Imagine U.S. Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana attacking fellow Democrats Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer and Richard Blumenthal over their unconstitutional gun control proposals.

Son of Sequester!

We now know President Obama is ordering federal departments to make sure as many Americans as possible suffer from sequester, his across-the-board 2.3 percent spending cut plan. The Department of Agriculture memo ordering a manager who asked if he could move money around to make sure inspections to prevent the introduction of foreign pests and […]

Smoke Gets in Your Rights

California Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, has introduced a bill to make it illegal for people to smoke in their own homes — if they live in an apartment or a condo or a multifamily home.

A Catholic Pope, Revisited

By the time you read this, the world’s billion-plus Roman Catholics may have a new pope. And when the black smoke of Tuesday’s indecisive first vote has turned to the white smoke of final decision, don’t be surprised if the cardinals have chosen… a Catholic pope. After the election of Benedict XVI in 2005, I […]

Rhonda Fields, whose bill to ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds ignited an ongoing firestorm of protest and which could cost the state jobs if a manufacturer of such equipment makes good on its promise to move to another state, didn’t realize […]

‘To Everything There is a Season…”

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth…” Isaiah 65:17 Relax. Sometimes the best thing we can do is close our eyes, inhale the elevated CO2 levels in the air, and chill out.

Gang of Eight in Retreat; Afraid to Introduce Its Amnesty Legislation

The Senate’s notorious Gang of Eight, a small cadre of amnesty advocates who hope to pressure Congress into passing disastrous immigration reform legislation, has developed a new game plan. In January, heady from President Obama’s strong November showing with Latino voters, the gang came out with their guns blazing. Now is the hour, they declared, […]

Carbon Tax Fight Looms

The White House continues to inch closer to a carbon tax. In Obama’s first post-election press conference, he dodged the question. The next day his spokesman Jay Carney said: “We would never propose a carbon tax, and have no intention of proposing one.” Great, but they don’t have to propose it. The proposals have now […]

Beat Obama Over Spending

Republicans need to focus their fire on spending, spending and spending. Obama is vulnerable and exposed and can be taken down over this issue. His recent drop in polling can be directly attributed to his spirited opposition to the sequester cuts. Ever since President Obama succeeded in raising taxes, he has been left naked and […]

Jeb vs. Marco Match-up in 2016 Unlikely

Two of the key figures in the Republican Party happen to live in the same city, in the same state, share many supporters and donors and enjoy a close, personal friendship where one has been a mentor to the other. So they both can’t run for president against each other, right? One of the most […]

CPAC: Folks, Mitt Romney Lost

Mitt Romney addressed CPAC this afternoon, and I did support his candidacy. : After all, he was the only person in our miserable 2012 crop of candidates that had the best chance of winning. : However, his communications team was mostly on defense, his high-tech GOTV ORCA program crashed rendering 30,000 volunteers helpless on Election Day, and […]
