Far too much of the campaign season so far has revolved around trivia. That’s largely Barack Obama’s fault. Obama wants to see more of Mitt’s tax returns. Who cares? Obama’s rich, but Mitt’s really rich; so we should hate him because he has more money than we do — or something. After Mitt left Bain, […]
In the wake of the horrific Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin, left-wing barrel-scrapers are demanding that talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives apologize for criticizing a 2009 Department of Homeland Security report that hyped an ominous new wave of violent “rightwing extremism.” I don’t apologize. I call foul. The media lowlifes who exploit every […]
Those who understand that America is now on the wrong track cannot reasonably vote for Obama in November, because he is absolutely unwilling to change, perhaps even ideologically incapable of changing, course. Evidence abounds. First, consider his disastrous economic record and his rejection of any semblance of a course change. He and his economic advisers […]
Just 16 percent of voters nationwide believe it was a good idea for the government to provide Solyndra with loan guarantees. The solar power company went bankrupt and stuck taxpayers with the tab for a half-billion dollars. The Obama administration generally has responded to questions about the program in the way a venture capital firm […]
Am so confused when people talk about the “One” or “Two” State Solutions. Aren’t there 22 Arab countries? So which is the state they are talking about that is a one state solution? Cute story I just came across I wanted to share: “Do you feel lonely in Washington?” the Lubavitch Rebbe asked the Israeli […]
David Lauter’s column featured in the: : LA Times today was a disgraceful pivot to whittle the 2012 election to say it’s really hinging on women and white people. : They’re the gatekeepers. We should forget about hispanics, high unemployment, healthcare, trillion dollar deficits, and anemic economic growth because they no longer the core issues of the election. […]
I confess your honor! : Team Obama finally said ‘uncle’ and admitted that they knew the facts surrounding Joe Soptic’s disgraceful political pimping of his dead wife for political gain. : After the revelation that Soptic had a conference call with Deputy Campaign Manager and liar Stephanie Cutter, the mounting pressure on the Obama campaign to just […]
Back in May Actor Will Smith recently appeared on a TV show in France when the subject of taxes was brought up. Smith piously proclaimed how he loves taxes because he wants to help his country.

The next time a liberal friend of yours tells you the American people believe corporate money in politics is a winning issue for Democrats, you can simply point out that in deep-blue liberal bastion of the District of Columbia that organizers of a petition drive to ban corporate donations fell short of the threshold for […]
I hate to tell you I told you so, but I told you so.: For years I’ve preached, he who controls the money, controls the choices.: Entitlement comes at a very high price, typically at a loss of freedom. Senate Democrats have now proposed the Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act intended to grant the […]
Remember when that oil rig exploded off of the Gulf of Mexico, giving the Obama Administration the perfect excuse to exercise complete control over our offshore drilling? Yeah, it might not be the top priority going into the campaign, but American drilling has been severely impacted – and continues to be severely impacted by Obama […]
As tempting as it may be sometimes, there’s a very simple reason that you don’t negotiate with terrorists. When you reward terrorists, it encourages them to commit more terrorism. The Obama Administration, which has never shown that it understands anything about tradition, history, military tactics, or economics doesn’t grasp this either. The revised proposal, a […]
One thing that you should know about Team Romney: they pick and choose the time in how they respond to Obama attacks carefully. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes not. The campaign is based on being the adults in the room dealing with the foul mouthed abusive 5 year olds, and is aimed at those who are […]
Only in the Obama administration is a whistleblower position needed to protect whistleblowers from the Department of Justice (Fox News) The Justice Department’s inspector general has created a new position to help protect department whistleblowers and educate staff about them — a move that comes in the wake of Operation Fast and Furious. The “Whistleblower […]

You only get one life. Whether you spend it achieving your dreams or coasting at work and then vegging out in front of the TV every night is up to you. But if you want to do more with your life, but don’t feel like you can reach your goals, there is hope. 1) Have […]
This: says it all. Republicans and Democrats spent last summer battling how best to save $2.1 trillion over the next decade. They are spending this summer battling how best to not save $2.1 trillion over the next decade. In the course of that year, the U.S. government’s fiscal gap – the true measure of the nation’s […]
Rod Blagojevich: said he did: and it sounds like everyone investigating the case bent over backwards not to find out if it is true. An upcoming book about Rod Blagojevich says undercover recordings caught the former governor saying he had heard that convicted influence peddler Antoin “Tony” Rezko secretly channeled $25,000 in cash to Barack Obama, but […]
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” – as long as he doesn’t need more than 5 million dollars a year. So says economic illiterate: Hamilton Nolan at Gawker. Let’s have a maximum annual income of, oh, $5 million, pegged to inflation. All income above that would be taxed at 99 […]
RedState’s Erick Erickson tweeted this could be the moment when Mitt Romney lost the election. In an interview of Fox News, Romney Press Secretary Andrea Saul decided to invoke Romneycare as a counterpoint to the despicable narrative being pushed by Priorities USA. : I’m sure you’ve seen the infamous ‘cancer ad.’ : Business Insider reported on […]
This is our time. Americans of all backgrounds need to come together now. We need to unite for one common goal. To save this nation from its own fiscal suicide. We are endangering our very existence with every dollar we spend. Here are the cold hard facts. Our credit rating has been downgraded for the […]
Fifty years from now, everyone will agree that Karl Rove committed treason by revealing the identity of CIA “spy” Valerie Plame, tea partiers shouted the N-word at a black congressman and Duke lacrosse players gang-raped a stripper. Liberals tell whopping lies, and most conservatives can’t be bothered to learn history. In the last few days, […]
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently said of the Chick-fil-A fast-food franchise that “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago’s values.” Why? Because Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is on record as being opposed to gay marriage — as is close to half the U.S. population, according to polls. The mayors of Boston and San Francisco also suggested that […]
Jared Lee Loughner pleaded guilty Tuesday to 19 counts involving a 2011 shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that left six dead and 13 others, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, wounded. As part of the deal, Loughner will receive a sentence of life without parole. Victims’ families have been spared the rigors of a trial, and prosecutors can […]
President Obama is my president. He’s not illegitimate. He’s not a usurper. He was duly elected by my fellow citizens — and as much as I think he’s a horrible commander-in-chief with anti-American ideals, that’s the choice Americans made in 2008. But by the same token, President Obama isn’t my: president. He isn’t doing anything for […]
To call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a “mad dog,” as Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank did, is an affront to the canine community and those suffering from legitimate mental illness. Reid was completely sane when he spread hearsay about an anonymous Bain Capital investor who allegedly told him Mitt Romney paid no taxes for […]
One of the few things Americans on both sides of the partisan divide can agree on is that this election is shaping up to be vexingly petty. The hunt for gaffes — some real, many imagined — has taken over. Romney’s recent overseas tour, we are told, produced three: an impolitic, if defensible, statement about […]
The other day, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi nonchalantly explained to a group in Florida that conservatives are in the “E. coli club.” The next day, a pro-Barack Obama super PAC began running an ad blaming Mitt Romney and Bain Capital for the death of a steelworker’s wife (who actually had insurance and passed away […]
Traumas suffered by a society generations ago can still have a negative effect centuries later. This is something Americans of a certain age should have no difficulty understanding. Half a century ago, we had to grapple with a dysfunctional and unjustifiable system of legally imposed racial segregation. It was a legacy of the Civil War […]
