They’re the first state interested in protecting children from crazy people who see “gun free zones” as easy pickings (NY Times) South Dakota became the first state in the nation to enact a law explicitly authorizing school employees to carry guns on the job, under a measure signed into law on Friday by Gov. Dennis […]
I asked the president, can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It’s an easy question. It should have been a resounding, an unequivocal, “No.” The president’s response? He hasn’t killed anyone yet. — Rand Paul I do not believe that question deserves an answer. — Lindsey Graham […]
You might not know who I am.: I don’t have a huge profile but I’m tapped into something that you had better pay attention to.: For too long both political parties have gotten caught up in the political game.: I’ve been a good soldier on your team, not the best, but a stand out.: A […]
America’s founding fathers were beholden to the odd notion that the best prevention against a tyrannical leader or mob rule was the simple yet effective system of checks and balances. Presently, a nominal Republican majority in the House of Representatives is the only thing keeping American capitalism from a nosedive into collectivism, communism, Marxism, Leninism, […]
Senate Democrats are finally beginning the process of writing a budget after four years of dereliction. They will almost certainly include some changes to Medicare, the largest driver of federal spending and debt. But unfortunately, there are indications that they intend to focus on the small piece of Medicare (10.6 percent in 2012) that is […]
A Minnesota TV news story perpetrated a perfect example of one-sided “news” coverage especially where it concerns the politically correct treatment of two, innocent, doe-eyed Muslims who, gosh darn it, just want to be loved like you and me. Naturally, the TV station does not report the truth that the two Muslims they laud actually […]
Senator John McCain (R, AZ) continues his criticism of fellow Republicans for filibustering confirmation of CIA Director John O. Brennan over the White House’s drone policy. While interviewing with the Huffington Post, McCain used the term “wackos” to describe Senator Rand Paul (R, KY), Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX) and Representative Justin Amash (R, MI). […]
Via Jim Geraghty: Morning Jolt, Philip Klein gives us a concise: explanation: of why Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster was so effective: A lot of the outpouring of conservative support for Paul’s filibuster on Obama’s drone policy went beyond the libertarian and anti-interventionist blocs of the movement who were also deeply troubled by Bush era counter-terrorism policies. Even those […]
You know the heroic stand Rand Paul took against tyranny with his historic filibuster was a success not only because Eric Holder reversed course and renounced the use of drones to kill Americans on American soil without due process, but by the reaction of the dinosaurs dominating the Republican establishment. Snipes John McCain: “If Mr. […]
Wait, what? (NY Times) Scientists say that if natural factors were still governing the climate, the Northern Hemisphere would probably be destined to freeze over again in several thousand years. “We were on this downward slope, presumably going back toward another ice age,” Dr. Marcott said. Instead, scientists believe the enormous increase in greenhouse gases […]
Like I said yesterday, this is like a typical abusive relationship. Obama denigrates, insults, and beats Republicans constantly, then for a brief time turns on the charm, buys them dinner, some flowers, a bit of “quality time”, then will soon switch back to floggings when the laundry isn’t done on time (Washington Post) For more […]

(This is the fourth installment of a continuing series on nationalized academic standards known as the “Common Core.”) While many Americans worry about government drones in the sky spying on our private lives, Washington meddlers are already on the ground and in our schools gathering intimate data on children and families. Say goodbye to your […]
The Republicans had better not squander the good will Sen. Rand Paul purchased for them in his filibuster over the Obama administration’s potential use of armed drones to kill non-enemy combatants in America. I am not simply referring to the constitutional issue of whether the president can engage in such acts, though that’s very important. […]
President Obama handily defeated congressional Republicans in the political fight over his health care law. But the law will now face a much tougher opponent — the creativity of Americans determined to gain more control over their own health care decisions. The end result will be a system much different than the president hopes for […]
Mr. Holder’s letter answers Mr. Rand’s question, “Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill Americans not engaged in combat on U.S. soil. The answer to that question is “no.” — Jay Carney Housing in California is on average 2.7 times more expensive than in Texas. The median house costs […]
Egypt’s anti-Israel and anti-American Muslim Brotherhood government is implementing Shariah Law. Its new constitution strips religious liberty from Egypt’s Christians and is on the verge of passing. In response, the Obama Administration is going to give Egypt 20 new American-made F-16 fighter jets and 200 new American-made tanks. The: ACLJ: and their founder: Jay Sekulow: is demanding that President […]
Rand Paul excited conservatives, libertarians, and even some liberals with his filibuster performance on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday. It was some 13 hours of a discussion on Obama’s desire to use drones to kill Americans here at home. Unfortunately, there were seven Republicans Senators that decided it was a better idea to […]
Some of Senator Rand Paul’s (R, KY) colleagues were left unimpressed by Wednesday’s filibuster.: The day following Paul’s action, Senators John McCain (R, AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC) criticized him, saying Paul was doing a “disservice” to the debate about drones. When was the last time either McCain or Graham raised concerns over the […]
There are three possible explanations for why liberals don’t just repeal the Second Amendment outright: 1) they don’t have the votes, because despite the Hope & Change, close to half of the population is still American; 2) by ignoring it instead of repealing it, they are effectively destroying the entire Constitution by demonstrating that it […]
Everyone loves Texas. In fact, if there was a state in the union that most people who didn’t even live there would consider themselves a fan of, it would probably be Texas. It’s everything that’s great about America: wide open frontier, simple people who live off the land, a cowboy attitude and the potential to […]
If you stopped watching network television awhile ago because it had gotten so bad, you made the correct decision. It has continued to get worse. A few years ago, network television became dominated by cheaply made reality TV shows and talent contests, sitcoms with hyperactive manic characters, and socially liberal themes. Television has always pushed […]
Who would have thought that Bloomberg’s rule would turn baristas into government enforcement workers? (NY Times) Come Tuesday, when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ban on the sale of large sugary drinks goes into effect after months of public debate over the measure, its impact on beverages like soda will be clear: no more jumbo colas. […]
These Republicans remind me of women (or men) who’ve been burned as their significant other beats them, then buys into the apology and post beating lovey dovey attitude, tells the cops and hospital they fell, and it happens again And again. And again (The Hill) Senate Republicans are more optimistic about the prospect of a […]
