You hear liberal pundits beating their chests about how Obama is going to beat Romney, conservative pundits proclaiming that Mitt is on pace to win, the polls are all over the place – when do we start to get a better idea of what’s going on? It should be September. For example, if you look […]

It seems bizarre that there could be: so many of an “endangered” species in one area that they could torment a whole neighborhood, but that’s exactly what’s happening in a Fort Worth, Texas neighborhood. Tree branches and bushes are stripped almost bare of their summer foliage, and big piles of bird droppings have turned parts of […]

The truth is that there was a lot more grey area when it comes to Iraq’s WMDs than people like to admit. As a matter of fact,: that grey area is still being cleaned up today. Britain will help the Iraqi government dispose of what’s left of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons, still stored […]

It has long seemed to me that there is far more rationality in sports, and in commentaries on sports, than there is in politics and in commentaries on politics. What has puzzled me is why this is so, when what happens in politics has far more serious effects on people’s lives. To take one common […]

Last Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted on his website his most recent anti-Semitic tirade, saying global forces should join together to annihilate Israel. Meanwhile, in Orlando, Fla., President Barack Obama had a takeout plate of pulled pork and rice. The Jerusalem Post reported Ahmadinejad as saying, “Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive […]

President Obama’s disgracefully corrupt policies on green energy alone should be enough to ensure his defeat in November — even apart from his war on reliable energy sources, which is unspeakably outrageous. Recently revealed emails show the extent of the abject corruption and reckless waste surrounding Obama’s Solyndra project. The Heritage Foundation has compiled a […]

The Democratic mayors of Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. gave Mitt Romney and the Republican Party the greatest gift possible. They provided the American people with as clear an example of the unbridgeable differences between left and right, between Democrat and Republican, as could be hoped for. And it was largely wasted. The […]

The media are trying to create a sense of momentum and of inevitability about the Obama candidacy. One benighted Newsweek reporter even speculated about a possible Democratic landslide. On Friday, I saw the real numbers. These state-by-state polls, taken by an organization I trust (after forty years of polling) show the real story. The tally […]

Whenever a name Republican says something stupid or indefensible or arguably both, for the next three days folks will open a conversation by asking me (the only Republican they know) what I think about the latest GOP gaffe. That standard does not apply when Democrats talk out of turn — even when they make unsupportable […]

In the last week of July, ECB President Mario Draghi attracted investor interest worldwide by saying that he would do “whatever it takes” to solve the Eurozone crisis and, in the process, save the euro. Markets rallied as investors concluded that Mr. Draghi could only be referring to the financial heroine of quantitative easing (QE) […]

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, Vt. — Two of my pundit colleagues — David Brooks of The New York Times and Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal — have written about this “boring” and “inconsequential” presidential campaign. Perhaps the reason is that we’ve heard it all before. “There is nothing new under the sun,” wrote the author […]

Most informed people realize that our current Social Security system is unsustainable with the level of debt that we’re racking up. However, did you know that even Americans who are retiring today are: ALREADY receiving less money than they paid into the program? People retiring today are part of the first generation of workers who have […]

“One of the things you’ll learn in dealing with the professional Left is that they have absolutely no ethics whatsoever when it comes to dealing with conservatives. They’re perfectly content to smear us, lie about us, or silence us in any way that they can get away with. It’s very much an “end justifies the […]

As people have become progressively more wimpy and feminized, we’re hearing more and more calls for legislative and corporate action designed to prevent people from being mean to each other. Yes, really. That’s what has happened with bullying despite the fact that: hitting bullies in the mouth is an effective way of dealing with the problem: that […]
