“Go back to D-Day. Do you think a nation raised to be scared of bouncy castles would ever be able to storm those beaches? What kind of adults are going to emerge from this cocoon? What kind of adults result from this overprotective environment?” – Mark Steyn The great Mark Steyn filled in for Rush […]
To be perfectly honest, I don’t watch American Idol and I could not care less about Nikki Minaj or Steven Tyler, but Minaj’s response to Tyler’s criticism still caught my eye. American Idol judge Nicki Minaj today says it’s “racist” of Steven Tyler to predict that she’d probably send Bob Dylan back to “the cornfield” […]
Although studies show that: we conservatives are usually happier and more optimistic than most about our personal lives, we also tend to be a bit more pessimistic than the average person about the country. We look at our unsustainable level of spending, the dramatically expanding, increasingly lawless welfare state, encouragement of tribalism and class hatred as […]
Anyone who has followed the decades-long controversies over the role of genes in IQ scores will recognize the names of the two leading advocates of opposite conclusions on that subject– Professor Arthur R. Jensen of the University of California at Berkeley and Professor James R. Flynn, an American expatriate at the University of Otago in […]
This holiday season, while we enjoy delicious food and visiting family and friends, let’s take a moment to give thanks for our many blessings. It’s easy to get lost in all the bad news today — whether it be unfavorable election results, financial troubles, a struggling economy, an overreaching federal government, crisis in the Middle […]
One of the largest elephants in the GOP’s post-election room is the fate of Christian and other social conservatives. Party honchos can’t just wish this problem away — or, maybe they can. There has been increasing hostility toward Christian involvement in politics, and the animus hasn’t been solely from the left. To be sure, Democrats […]
If you want to understand why President Obama was re-elected despite a largely unsuccessful presidency and almost unprecedentedly high and continuous unemployment, just look at the Cuban-American vote. In fact, if you want to understand America today — specifically, why it is in decline — just look at the Cuban-American vote. As reported in the […]
Cut it out! Pick your chin up! We lost a battle, not the war! Here’s how to look at it: We are right and President Obama is wrong. The issues at play here are not subjective with fuzzy answers, each a little right and a little wrong. They are objective. Either Obama’s approach to the […]
President Obama likes to complain about gridlock in Washington and blame Republicans for keeping him from doing his job. As president, he has the unfettered executive power to pardon individuals convicted of federal crimes or commute their sentences. Yet, while his 2008 campaign called for a review of federal mandatory minimum sentences to reduce the […]
The diplomatic hosannas for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi following his brokering of the recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel were still being heard even as the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood started behaving like a pharaoh. Morsi “temporarily” seized new powers that, among other things, forbid judicial review of his policies. What ought to […]
By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor It’s impossible to repeal Obamacare when the Democrats control the Senate and the White House, but that doesn’t mean we have to take the destruction of the American healthcare system lying down. Instead of a frontal assault, it’s time to take a page from Ghandi and engage in a little […]
My line on secession is the same as it always has been, which is that the question of whether states have a right to secede was decided during the Civil War and the answer was “No.” ….Calling for secession was, is and for the very immediate future, will probably continue to be a fringe position. […]
“Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” –: Ann Coulter The sort of mindless hero worship liberals engage in with politicians is a bit outside the reality of most normal people. Even Republicans, who think Ronald Reagan was the greatest, bestest, dreamiest politician ever wouldn’t say […]
Portland atheist Mark Hecate is mad that someone made him look like a devil. A pro-atheism billboard in Portland, Oregon was defaced causing the atheist group that paid for the sign upset that they had been “demonized.” Pro-atheist billboard defaced in Portland, Oregon The billboard featured Mr. Hecate next to the phrase, “This is what […]
I’ll say it again, Democrats want to go off the fiscal cliff. : They’ll get their tax increases — $600 billion dollars worth— their revenue increases, and cuts to defense, which has been a goal of theirs for the past ten years. : Goodbye Bush tax cuts, Hello Obama tax hikes. : With the fledgling coalition of ‘cliff […]
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy declared he is exempt from overview by Egyptian courts, saying they cannot overturn any decision or law he has issued since taking office or until a new Egyptian constitution is finalized.: Morsy also decreed that Egypt’s courts will have no authority or oversight over a constitution-writing panel dominated by Islamists.: The […]
As liberals continue to counter the criticism directed towards Ambassador Susan Rice with the race card, Eliana Johnson at National Review aptly noted how similar criticism was lobbied at Condoleezza Rice when she was nominated for Secretary of State. : I made a note of this before in my previous post, Deciphering Susan Rice without Being […]
Ever heard someone say, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me?” I get that on a very personal level, except in reverse, because I didn’t become a social conservative, social conservatism came toward me. Granted, many social conservatives who would be reluctant to count me amongst their ranks, and as someone […]
If Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak is toppled, Israel will lose one of its very few friends in a hostile neighborhood and President Barack Obama will bear a large share of the blame, Israeli pundits said on Monday. Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to […]
They’re probably just pissed about that part about “Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” (The Blaze) When one thinks of typical War on Christmas targets, Charlie Brown is, perhaps, the furthest catalyst to come to mind. Yet the popular cartoon character is […]
Team Obama can’t even force themselves to use the word “Christmas” (Daily Caller) Any Republican refusal to accept President Barack Obama’s fiscal plan may ruin Christmas for the nation’s retailers, the White House claimed in a report released Monday morning. “The National Retail Federation is forecasting that holiday sales will grow 4.1 percent this year […]

A Psalm of Obama (To be sung by children, K-12, every morning of their seven-day school week.)* The State is my shepherd, I shall not want. It makes me lie down in federally owned pastures. It leads me beside quiet waters in banned fishing areas. It restores my soul through its control. It guides […]
Unions played an important role in American history. At the turn of the last century, a lot of workers encountered awful and dangerous conditions on the job. The workers banded together, demanded changes and got them. After that, Americans joined unions and the dues began to roll in. Riding that wave of compulsory money, union […]
In Washington, Americans have two-party government, with a Democratic president and Senate and a Republican House. We had it before November’s election and will have it again for the next two years. Looking back from 2014, we will have had two-party government for most of the preceding two decades, for six years of Bill Clinton’s […]
The fate of after-school Bible clubs in California may rest on the outcome of a lawsuit filed in United States District Court. The suit filed by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) argues that Orange County’s Buena Park School District unconstitutionally rejected a Christian youth club’s request to meet in District facilities on […]
Here’s a little something that I put together over the Thanksgiving break. It was inspired by Barack Obama’s gross and inappropriate insistence on giving an unwanted kiss to Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi.
It is puzzling that so many minorities voted for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney considering how disproportionately they have suffered economically during Obama’s presidency. Black unemployment under Obama: increased: at a higher pace than whites, from 12.7% to 14.1%, ending at almost twice the unemployment rate of whites. Now, one out of every seven blacks is unemployed.
