Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

The anonymous NY Times editorial board has been running editorial after editorial in their drumbeat to take guns away from law abiding citizens (no word from the editorial board as to whether they are going to do away with the armed security guards in their lobby), turning citizens into gazelle in a sea of lions.

When terrorists attack Americans, Washington should always follow this simple rule: Blame the terrorists first. Retired Adm. Mike Mullen stuck to that rule when he rolled out an independent review, led by former Ambassador Thomas Pickering, on the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. special mission in Benghazi, Libya, that led to the murder of […]
When I mention Pong to my undergraduates, they have no idea. When I mention it to my MBAs, they: laugh.
Tim Kane for the Hudson Institute. Discouraging. Three samples: “Since 1977, newly born companies usually create a net 3 million jobs per year, but the most recently released data report as falling to 2.34 million in the year 2010. The Commerce Department will not release annual 2011 or 2012 data until after the election, but […]
You’re sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way. With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell […]
Pastor Saeed Abedini is an American citizen; a Christian who has been seized by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and is being held in the notorious Evin Prison.: : Abedini is a former leader of Iran’s house-church movement — and is being abused in Iran simply because of his faith.: : Iran refuses to release him. The American Center of Law […]
While it may not be a surprise that the Republicans are preparing to yield on their vow to oppose tax hikes, it should raise investor concerns the world over that an upcoming budget agreement will likely involve a Congressional surrender of its authority to set the federal debt ceiling. In exchange for this, it appears […]
CNN’s Piers Morgan uncorked a special “townhall” event titled Guns in America on Wednesday evening that was at once replete with misinformation and filled with useless bromides. Worse, British citizen Morgan perpetrated a constant hectoring attack on anyone who exhibited the slightest disagreement with his cherished disdain for the U.S. Constitution. Morgan began his program […]
Call me nuts, but I think American politics go in cycles. Reagan’s victories, coupled with Obama’s, prove this. At the same time, I think there is some legitimacy to the idea that our sense of “right” and “left” drift around across time. Reagan was not about the same issues as Obama; those who seek to […]
In case you haven’t heard (AP) President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, one of Washington’s most respected voices on foreign policy, as his next secretary of state. Obama even mentioned Kerry’s service in Vietnam, but it was strange that he failed to mention Kerry coming home and slurring the men and […]
If there was a media that was interested in exposing facts instead of pushing a political position, someone might actually ask Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel “how’s that current gun ban working?” (WGNtv) Gun violence is a daily occurence for mayors across the Chicago area and the state of Illinois, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is […]
This: list: gets about 2.5 out of 10 correct. A better list: 1. People want far more at zero prices than they can possibly produce: goods and services have been, are, and almost surely always will be scarce. 2. People respond to incentives. 3. The cost of doing something is the value of the next best alternative […]
Maybe they’ve finally found: him.
There are now calls from the Left for gun control legislation in response to Adam Lanza’s unconscionable mass killing of innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary. However, very few people seem to be asking the most basic question of all before getting started: What gun control legislation could have stopped Adam Lanza? The answer is […]
President Obama says he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. But what he really wants is to avoid spending cuts. By blaming the Republicans for refusing to increase revenues from the rich (who are also the nation’s leading employers), he can avoid having a fight over the size of government spending, a battle he […]
Barack Obama was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2012. An honor bestowed upon almost every president since 1927. Our 44th President is a remarkable president. No president in our nation’s history has accomplished so little in such a short time. No president has ever been elected to the highest office in the […]
Every year I post a piece on the troubled truth about Kwanzaa. This year will be no exception. Note that some of the newspaper articles I quote are several years old and may no longer be online. Kwanzaa, the purported “African” holiday celebrated only in the United States, is the ultimate politically correct holiday. It […]
Barack Obama’s administration, despite all the blood and treasure America spent in Iraq, somehow managed to fail in reaching a Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government.: That means that the United States, after overthrowing Saddam Hussein, and freeing a country uniquely located on the most strategically important piece of real estate in the […]
Probably not, but they deserve a lot of credit for suggesting a plausible solution to a problem. Gun control absolutely, unconditionally will not stop another Adam Lanza. In fact, some advocates of gun control are even publicly admitting that. That being said, the idea put forth most often on the Right since the shooting, arming […]
How did the clown who sent this out as the official Christmas “holiday” card get to be the US Ambassador to Finland? Bruce Oreck followed a simple two step process: 1) get rich by being the son of successful businessman David Oreck; and 2) bundle over $500,000 for the Obama campaign. The earring is a […]
Militant leftists got this far by aggressively pushing the envelope, so you can expect them to push it even further. However, even now they can get in trouble when they push it too far too fast, as a homosexual privilege advocate from Hawthorne, New Jersey recently discovered: U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor ordered the […]
Can We Choose A Candidate Other Than Mark Or Jenny Sanford To Fill Tim Scott’s House Seat? Nikki Haley made the right call when she appointed Tim Scott to be Jim DeMint’s replacement in the Senate. However, that now means his House seat is open and will be filled in a special election. The good […]
With most politicians, this would be a heartfelt speech on getting everyone involved to fix an issue. With Obama’s history, this is outsourcing the issue while ducking any work himself (Politico) President Obama urged Americans to keep pushing for efforts to combat gun violence, as he thanked hundreds of thousands of people for voicing their […]
CNN provides some of the details, which seem oddly similar to an article at the Atlanta Black Star (read both, and realize that the ABS article was posted before the CNN article, and is trending on several news aggregators), minus the Palin Derangement Syndrome (CNN) Managing editor Richard Stengel wrote Obama deserved the recognition because […]
Don’t let anyone kid you; there is no winning hand on the fiscal cliff mess. The whole thing is a disaster, largely of the GOP’s own making and the only question is how badly we’re going to lose. If I were a Republican in the House, I would have voted for Plan B last night. […]
After the Newtown massacre, some conservatives were worried: that even the NRA might cave on gun control in its press conference today. In actuality, there was never anything to worry about. After all, if the NRA caves on guns, what good would it be? Now, we must speak … for the safety of our nation’s children. […]
As you may have noticed by the fact that you’re still alive, the Mayan Apocalypse didn’t happen. That may be good news unless you did something: unfortunate without a condom last night because you thought the world was about to end. A group of sexy singles in Manhattan are determined to get lucky before the predicted […]
The president will have a decision to make. He can call on the Senate Democrats to pass our bill, or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in American history. — John Boehner I’m not leaving here to be an advocate for the Republican party. — Jim DeMint I’m not suggesting by any […]
