I’m getting tired of President Obama blaming Republicans for everything. This week it was immigration. In Las Vegas the president called for a policy that would provide a clear path to citizenship for illegal residents who pay their taxes, learn English and abide by the law. He warned that if bipartisan talks in Congress break […]

We don’t need more regulation of energy use, cap and trade, carbon taxes, or any of the range of new measures President Obama is pushing to deal with climate change. According to Bloomberg News, U.S. carbon emissions are down 13 percent over the past five years and that they are now the lowest since 1994. […]

When I was a Boy Scout in the early 1960s, I earned a few merit badges and learned some very important life lessons along the way. One of them was the Scout Motto: “Be prepared!” I remember the Scout Oath: “On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and […]

It’s cold and snowy as I write this. Thank goodness the federal government provides us with “helpful” winter tips (: ready.gov/winter-weather: ). Did you know, warns our government, that “(w)inter storms can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard with blinding, wind-driven snow that lasts for several days”? News to me. Or […]

“No amnesty!” Good luck with that. “Secure the border!” Yeah, that, too. Why not? Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas describes the problem with unenforced illegal immigration laws to Politico’s Ginger Gibson: “The crush of illegals have bankrupted local governments, shut down hospitals, overwhelmed schools and crashed local economies, hurting largely Hispanic citizens.” He’s against the […]

At least Romney had binders. Binders full of qualified women to fill cabinet positions, that is. Democrats mercilessly pounded Romney for the binders comment he made during the 2012 presidential campaign, but I’ll bet the Obama campaign now wishes Romney had passed the binders on to Obama since it seems he’s having a hard time […]

“Why this fat cat likes Obama’s tax plan” was the headline of a full-page ad La Jolla, Calif., investor Norman Lizt took out in The New York Times in August. No, it wasn’t really an endorsement. Lizt wrote that he has been a successful investor over the years, but if Americans re-elected President Barack Obama […]

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals emphatically smacked down the crazy idea that the president has the power to make recess appointments while the Senate is not in recess. “An interpretation of ‘the Recess’ that permits the President to decide when the Senate is in recess would demolish the checks and balances inherent in the […]

Coming to the realization that insisting automatic weapons with high capacity magazines be available for sporting use wasn’t gaining much traction among the general public, gun rights advocates have shifted their rationale to argue that private ownership of such weapons is necessary to protect against a tyrannical government, either our own or from somewhere else […]

President Obama’s choice of Nevada to announce his all encompassing amnesty program is curious. Nevada’s 10.2 unemployment rate is the nation’s highest. Las Vegas, where Obama spoke, has a 10.4 percent unemployment rate. Nevada unemployment is so acute that more than four and a half years have passed since a single construction worker showed up […]

The media spin is that she has been an excellent Secretary of State. But it’s just spin. Look at the record: ???????Chavez now controls Argentina, Bolivia, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Ecuador as well as Venezuela. He is a big influence in Brazil. He is providing a base for Iran to move into the hemisphere. ??Russia […]

In Switzerland, it’s not just the clocks that are cuckoo. Over the past four years Swiss politicians and central bankers have gone on an unprecedented buying spree of foreign exchange reserves. In 2012, their cache swelled to as much as $420 billion worth of various currencies, primarily the euro. This figure is a seven-fold increase […]

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a Washington, DC based legal organization that focuses on constitutional law said it is extremely disappointed that the proposed rule change announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) concerning the mandate does not apply to all Americans. In its: announcement: today, the HHS proposed a […]
