In its wisdom — and yes, I am being ironic — the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco issued a ruling Tuesday that revives a California inmate lawsuit to force the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to hire a paid, full-time Wiccan chaplain. Oddly, the three-judge panel found that the complaint […]

After President Obama left for a three day Florida golf vacation that included a round with Tiger Woods, the White House announced his latest immigration plan. Two weeks ago in Las Vegas, Obama threatened Congress that if it didn’t introduce legislation to grant permanent residency and eventually citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens by March, […]
America has almost 12 million illegal immigrants. Many of them came here on visas and never left. But about 60 percent of them walked in from just one country — Mexico. Though the stalled Obama Economy has caused about 900,000 to go home since 2007, there are still about 6 million Mexicans living in the […]
The war of ideas is alive and well. In North Carolina, it’s taken a vicious turn,with progressives targeting the state’s Republican leadership and Governor Pat McCrory, who was elected in 2012. : Spearheading this effort is a 501 (c)(3) group known as: BluePrint NC, which, according to their website: is a partnership of public policy, advocacy, and […]
Forbes has put together the most miserable U.S. cities Economist Arthur Okun developed the original Misery Index in the 1960s. It combines unemployment and inflation (and was 10.2 last year nationally, down from an 18-year high of 12.1 in 2011). Our look at misery is more localized, and includes unemployment, as well as other things […]
I guess David Brooks is wrong: Obama does have a plan. Or at least an outline of a plan. Whether there are any actual details and legislation that can be voted on is unknown. Here’s Jennifer Palmieri blogging for Obama A Balanced Plan to Avert the Sequester and Reduce the Deficit Good thing America doesn’t […]
For example, one will virtually never hear that the Palmer Raids, Prohibition, or American eugenics were thoroughly progressive phenomena. These are sins America itself must atone for. Meanwhile, real or alleged “conservative” misdeeds – say McCarthyism – are always the exclusive fault of conservatives and a sign of the policies they would repeat if given […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, there’s no shortage of well-meaning people who want the world to be a better place. But, without the willingness to roll up your sleeves and be part of the solution, you run the risk of making the situation worse. Obamacare is a good example. Its European-styled socialized healthcare system […]
If Barack Obama gets his wish for an illegal alien amnesty, he will have set African-American causes back further than any president in recent memory. During a period when black unemployment is brutally high, either legal residency or a full blown amnesty that includes citizenship would authorize an additional 11 million workers to compete with […]
Don’t blame Ted Cruz, he’s only doing what he said he would do if elected. The wave of national media attention surrounding the freshman senator late last week followed a traditional groupthink pattern. First it was a Reuters national wire story early in the week, then the Politico story late Thursday, The New York Times […]
It is February 22nd, the birthday of our first President, George Washington. I don’t celebrate “President’s Day.” I celebrate the presidents individually, not the whole gaggle of them at once. But I most certainly don’t celebrate George Washington, the father of our country, as just another president. These days, George Washington has been relegated to […]
Over the weekend, Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-New York) announced that he plans to relax his state’s abortion law, and allow women to obtain late-term abortions if their health is at stake. : It provides more latitude against the current statute, which says: the only legal justification for a late-term abortion — as: defined by the Supreme Court : — […]
In a free country, a gun isn’t just a tool for self-defense and hunting. It is the reification of liberty — the empowerment of the individual concretized as something you can actually hold in your hands. This is why liberals not only fear firearms, but regard them as profane. They are using their control of […]
When’s the last time you hear about rape on a college campus? …’Yes, date rape, that’s one problem,’ Beckel agreed, ‘but you gonna take a gun out and shoot your date’? — Bob Beckel I’m not much different from Andrew Cuomo. I probably agree with him on 98% of the issues. — Chris Christie “Libertarians […]
So, the Vice President argued that Americans should break the law in order to ward off would-be attackers. Besides being a spokesman for shotguns, Biden advised to fire warning shots into the air to scare intruders away.: In a Facebook chat last Tuesday, the Vice President said that he instructed his wife, Jill, to blast […]
As Jesse Jackson, Jr. awaits sentencing for misuse of campaign funds, the special election to replace him has seen State Sen. Toi Hutchinson drop out due to her positive ratings from the NRA. : Hutchinson, a Democrat, received an A- rating from the organization, which is anathema to Democratic voters. : Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York […]
Tomorrow, on 2/23/2013, there will be more than 100 Day of Resistance rallies all across the country, in 38 states, and we expect more than 50,000 attendees nationwide. That’s not too shabby for something that was little more than an idea in Dustin Stockton’s head six weeks ago. Since then, there have been a handful […]
Just more proof that this debate is about doing everything possible to burden legal gun owners with draconian rules while failing to go after criminals with guns (NY Times) Both sides in a nation sharply divided over guns seem to agree on at least one thing: a bigger role for the insurance industry in a […]
A random act of journalism from Carrie Budoff Brown and Jake Sherman (Politico) President Barack Obama’s greatest adversary in the latest budget battle isn’t the Republican leadership in Congress – it’s his confidence in his own ability to force a win. He has been so certain of his campaign skills that he didn’t open a […]
Vice President Biden has been on a roll lately. As he crusades against our Second Amendment rights, he has become, apparently, more and more irate as people pose questions directly to the heart of his unconstitutional crusade. Earlier this week, he sat for an interview for Parents Magazine and got incredibly testy when asked about […]
