Some of us are old enough to remember when Washington, embroiled in a debt ceiling negotiation crisis, was on the brink of default. Way back in 2011, newly empowered congressional Republicans (then commonly referred to as “nihilists”) attempted to negotiate a dollar-for-dollar deal on the debt. Those who used the good faith and credit of […]
On Monday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney delivered a foreign policy speech to cadets at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. He was correct in his indictment of the Obama administration for its numerous failures — especially in the Middle East — and his embrace of Ronald Reagan’s “peace through strength” philosophy. A strong […]
The vice presidential debate gives Paul Ryan a unique opportunity to explain Mitt Romney’s economic programs and ideas in front of a massive national audience. We will see Paul Ryan at his best. And that is very, very good. He is not just a vice presidential candidate. He is the author and intellectual founder of […]
Last week, after the first presidential debate, I spoke at an architecture school in downtown Los Angeles. One of the questions the moderator asked was about American exceptionalism. The foam flecked to his lips at the very phrase. What, pray tell, was American exceptionalism, he asked? I answered by referencing the Founding Fathers and the […]
“The Illegal-Donor Loophole” is the headline of a Daily Beast story by Peter Schweizer of the conservative Government Accountability Institute and Peter Boyer, former reporter at The New Yorker and The New York Times. The article tells how Obama.com, a website owned by an Obama fundraiser who lives in China but has visited the Obama […]
The Original Words of Ze’ev Jabotinsky Can Be Followed For Israel-Iran History has been said to repeat itself, and if so then one can simply heed the message of: Ze’ev Jabotinsky, who is considered to be the ideological father of the Likud Party (the current ruling party of the Israeli Government). From: What Are We To […]
Last month, broadcast TV lifer Morely Safer of CBS’s 60 Minutes fame appeared on CSPAN and pronounced himself “appalled” by the denizens of the new media. Citizen journalists aren’t trained well enough to be trusted as a source of news, Safer declared to CSPAN’s Brian Lamb on Sept. 13. In fact, he’s downright “appalled” by […]
According to Yevgeny Fyodorov, the head of the Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship of the Russian State Duma, the U.S. is slowly but surely losing unchallenged global economic and political power. Fyodorov said that: “… but in reality it is the key event in today’s global scenario. With the onset of the global economic […]
Who would have seen this coming? Legislation has consequences out in the Real World (Washington Times) The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants is putting more workers on part-time status in a test aimed at limiting costs from President Obama’s health care law. Darden Restaurants Inc. declined to give details but said the […]
Liberal feminists keep telling everyone that gender is a social construct and that women should be more like men — which is why Pinterest apparently disturbs them so much. One in five women over the age of 18 who regularly use the internet is on Pinterest, which had an estimated 23 million users as of […]
Obama has presided over what has been a very amount of natural disasters. There have been few monster tornado outbreaks, a few big floods, and just one hurricane (barely) to make landfall on the continental United States. And how does he treat it? Well, hypocritically, of course (Daily Caller) President Barack Obama has refused to […]
Late last week, I had a chance to talk with Evan Sayet About his new book “Kindergarden Of Eden: How Modern Liberals Think.” Here’s the slightly edited transcript of our interview. First question: In the book you say, “When I say the modern liberal is morally and intellectually retarded at the level of a five […]
The politicians in D.C. created the housing crisis that tanked the economy with regulations that practically made handing out high risk housing loans a necessity for Freddie, Fannie, and many banks. Of course, you wouldn’t know that from listening to anybody in Congress because the politicians naturally point the finger elsewhere. Unfortunately, they’re alsopushing the […]
Lyndon Johnson declared a “war on poverty” in the sixties and he was about as successful at it as he was in Vietnam. Of course, as the great: Thomas Sowell notes, minorities were on their way up economically long before Johnson ladled an extra heaping helping of socialism into the economy. For example, the usually insightful […]

Does the President really want a second term? One would think that if Barack Obama truly wanted to be reelected he would’ve created a record to run on; rather than a record to run from. After four years of his Presidency two things have come into fruition. The President never really had any intentions of […]
In many ways, Mr. Obama is the poster child for the young, unchallenged, and unproven wimps being created by the liberal nanny-state. Political correctness now orders that there are unlimited strikes in T-ball. No one can keep score. That everyone gets a trophy. That no one can be disciplined, called any names, or be held […]
Remember when President Obama bragged about Joe Biden’s fiscal discipline cred in 2009? “To you, he’s Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff,” Obama warned government employees. “Because if you’re misusing taxpayer money, you’ll have to answer to him.” Fast-forward to 2012. Call in the search teams. Since being […]
President Obama tanked in the last debate. Good. Now maybe people will listen when Mitt Romney says things like, “The genius of America is the free enterprise system, and freedom, and the fact that people can go out there and start a business. … The private market and individual responsibility always work best.” They do. […]
California was once the land of opportunity, but it is going down the tubes. Several of California’s prominent cities have declared bankruptcy, such as Vallejo, Stockton, Mammoth Lakes and San Bernardino. Others are on the precipice, and that includes Los Angeles, California’s largest city. California’s 2012 budget deficit is expected to top $28 billion, and […]
In September, President Obama’s campaign received 1.8 million donations from small contributors who did not break the $200 threshold requiring that their information be reported to the Federal Elections Commission. They gave the campaign 98 percent of the $181 million it raised that month, a figure vastly higher than its take in any previous month. […]
PARIS — America has collective attention deficit disorder, and in one way it’s a bigger threat than terrorism, cybersecurity dangers and the never-ending Middle East drama: Those other problems at least have the potential to be solved. We witnessed this phenomenon last week during the first presidential debate. Washington pundits and policy wonks tried to […]
A month ago, I presented the case for why Fed Chairman Bernanke would have strong motivation to launch another round of quantitative easing (QE) before the election. In short, it would save him his job. Now, I didn’t predict with certainty that he would do so – only the few men at the FOMC knew […]
If you are sick and tired of seeing politicians and others playing the race card, or if you are just disgusted with the grossly dishonest way racial issues in general are portrayed, then you should get a copy of Ann Coulter’s new book, “Mugged.” Its subtitle is: “Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama.” Few […]
“Now Gov. Romney believes that with even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and fewer regulations on Wall Street, all of us will prosper. In other words, he’d double down on the same trickle-down policies that led to the crisis in the first place.” — President Obama in an ad released Sept. 27. This is […]
According to: Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law & Justice,: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been a concern for many years — a long-standing Holocaust denier who has called Israel a “fake regime” that “must be wiped off the map.” And now, the fact that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons simply […]
The folks behind Big Bird and Sesame Street are demanding release of the hostage held by the 0bama campaign. They want Big Bird set free. Sesame Street isn’t amused. Sesame Workshop, a nonprofit educational organization that produces and owns the show, issued a statement Tuesday saying “we do not endorse candidates or participate in political […]
The most recent Washington Times/Zogby poll shows voters now favor GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over Barack Obama on two key issues: the economy and national security. Obama had been leading prior to the October 3rd debate.: The results of that debate changed a lot of minds.: On national security, Romney is now preferred 48 […]
Before we get any further into this story, I have to warn you that this is not satire. That having been said, Buzzfeed’s Zeke Miller perpetrated one of the worst attempts at guilt by association ever made. Miller attempted to intimate that Mitt Romney is a racist because his motorcade drove past private property that […]
