Don’t take my word for it. Just read this quote from the president of the union representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, Chris Crane. Prosecutorial discretion for dreamers is solely based on the individual’s claims. Our orders are if an alien says they went to high school, then let them go,” he said at a […]
We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We operate as a family business … our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. […]
How often do you hear someone other than a paid spokesman say something nice about corporations? Very, very seldom. It’s all “offshoring,” “They’re not paying their fair share,” “They’re not giving their employees enough,” — and on and on it goes. Even when corporations do something good, they usually don’t get so much as a […]
Vice President Joe Biden, America’s textbook Beltway barnacle, still labors under the illusion that he is America’s middle-class Everyman. And now, he’s gone and dragged his adult children into the land of Democratic make-believe. This is a BFD: a Biden Fabulist Dud. As usual with White House class-warfare demagoguery, reality doesn’t fit the wealth-bashing narrative. […]

In the aftermath of the Aurora, Colo., slaughter, the question went forth on all of the political chatter shows: “Will this reopen the debate over gun control?” That’s the script. When heinous monsters kill people with guns, we tend to talk about the problem of guns. Or rather, people in Washington, New York and other […]
Obama’s desperate protests that his anti-business rant was taken out of context are betrayed both by that very context and because they are a part of a piece — just one more component of his war against the American entrepreneurial spirit. He would have us believe that his words “you didn’t build that” referred to […]
As Hugh Hewitt notes today on Townhall, Texas voters can now: cast their early votes for Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is very close. The Texas GOP is very close. The entire Lone Star State is very close and the country is very close to a very big win on Tuesday, July 31. Early voting is underway […]
On Tisha B’av, the Jewish day of mourning for: the destruction: of the First and the Second Jewish Temple, the: Betar Fortress: was destroyed by the Roman Empire during the Bar Kochba revolt.

“This flag dips for no earthly king.” – American shotputter Ralph Rose At the 1936 Olympics, the: American Olympic team stood up to Hitler. Over 5,000 athletes from 51 nations then marched in according to alphabetical order, with Greece leading the whole parade and the host country, Germany, at the end. But even the opening ceremony […]
Consumer confidence fell to the lowest levels of 2012 this past week. Most Americans believe that both the economy and their own personal finances are getting worse. Just 25 percent believe the economy is getting better, and only 22 percent say the same about their personal finances. Still, the lows of 2012 aren’t nearly as […]
I’m shocked at Chick-fil-A. : They advocate for a traditional family unit as described in the bible. : This is very controversial and marginalizing their bases of operation is critical in stopping bigotry and would be a critical victory for the gay rights movement. : That’s literally what liberals think about this whole kerfuffle: surrounding: what Dan Cathy, […]
Yahoo, that staunch defender of all things “progressive”, jumped on the media bandwagon in gushing over Malaysia’s Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi making the trip to London to compete in the Olympics.: They fawned all over the feel good story about how just one month before she is due to give birth to a baby she […]
In the aftermath of the “you didn’t build that” comments, it : should be no surprise that his collectivist rhetoric hurt his approval ratings amongst business owners. : According to Gallup, Obama’s approval amongst this demographic has dropped from 41% to 35%, he’s in a dead heat: with Romney, and Rasmussen has Romney taking the lead by four […]
I am beginning to feel that there is no hope for many of our school teachers. They’ve become so infused with leftism that any semblance of Americanism is beyond their grasp. Even history is viewed from within a socialist prism as a recent editorial from a teacher from Pennsylvania proves. In his editorial, teacher Robert […]
Yesterday we reported that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said that the Christian values of Chick-Fil-A are not “Chicago values.” So, who does embody those “Chicago values” as far as Rahm is concerned? Why, extremist Louis Farrakhan, who else? On July 25, Mayor Emanuel welcomed the “help” of hatemonger Louis Farrakhan, leader of the cult the […]
Some liberals would have you believe that just because you can’t see it on the surface, Mitt Romney’s campaign ads are brimming with racism. What’s funny about this analysis, if you could call it one, is that it seeks to combat racism by being racist. : It’s like the Voter ID narrative the left is pushing […]
Apparently, “it’s a scary time to be a woman” because Romney might want to reduce the amounts of abortions because some people are irresponsible when having sex The Washington Post’s Rachel Weiner calls this a new add, though I’ve seen it run a few times here in North Carolina. I even mentioned this in a […]
Interestingly, if they really cared about the middle class, they’d call for a reduction in taxes on those making less than $200k individual/$250 joint (Washington Post) The Senate on Wednesday narrowly approved a plan to preserve tax cuts for the middle class while letting them expire for the wealthy, a powerful if largely symbolic victory […]
We’ve learned many things about (NMP) Obama during his 3 1/2 years in office: one of them is that he loves to make pronouncements about something needing to be done, but he’s rarely willing to do the hard work himself, instead, outsourcing the job to others, whether they want to or not. Obviously, doing the […]
Courtesy of Instapundit, comes this article from Jessica Wakeman at The Frisky about heroism and the Batman shootings in Aurora. Before you read, I must warn you; The feminism is strong with this one. In the days, weeks and months following a national tragedy, myths settle into our national consciousness. Myths are not falsehoods, per […]
If you had a time machine, what could you do with it? The possibilities are endless – especially if we assume that if we ever manage to create technology as sophisticated as a time machine, we’ll also have a work-around for language differences and ways to keep from passing on diseases to previous generations. Of […]
This: sleazy and disgusting lawsuit: is just one more reason we desperately need tort reform in this country to keep parasitic lawyers from playing lawsuit lottery with the lives of innocent people. One of the victims in the James Holmes mass murder spree has lawyered up and plans to file a lawsuit … because he feels the […]
Tom Coburn used to be one of the best Republicans we had in the Senate. Unfortunately, his reputation has started to slip since he voted for TARP and has spent an inordinate amount of time agitating for tax increases. Apparently the fact that most Republicans don’t agree with him must have stuck in his craw […]
Monopolies, whether they’re private or governmental, are not in the best interest of the American public. The same could be said of any company that’s supposedly: “too big to fail”– like: the big banks. Sanford “Sandy” Weill, whose creation of Citigroup Inc. (C) ushered in the era of U.S. banking conglomerates a decade before the financial crisis, […]
I feel awful about what happened in Colorado, but can we stop the hugging and the teddy bears? Just as society can become inured to violence, it can also become inured to sentiment. There is nothing so hackneyed in the world of photojournalism as pictures of the hugging and the shrines with candles and teddy […]
Amid all the stories about the ongoing violence in Syria, the most disturbing is the possibility that Syrian President Bashar Assad could either deploy the arsenal of chemical and biological weapons that his government claims it has, or provide it to terrorists. There are suggestions that at least some of Assad’s supposed stockpile may have […]
Like the ghosts of Shakespeare’s Banquo or Dickens’ Jacob Marley, the specter of the late commie-hunting congressman from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, will always be with us. It is summoned up today, by some on the left, who use it as a tool to thwart legitimate questions about people and ideologies that seek to destroy America. […]
Only a few lonely media outlets responded to the Aurora Mall murders by calling for stricter gun control measures. President Barack Obama and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper made eloquent statements, as did Mitt Romney, but neither the two Democrats nor the Republican called for changes in gun laws. Many conservatives and gun rights advocates took […]
Today the media is yet again attacking billionaire Sheldon Adelson on its front pages; now it is about his effort to target Jewish voters in swing states including: Florida,: Ohio: and: Pennsylvania.: Such a media infatuation with an established successful, self made man who is doing what any active political advocate does, educates voters to see his point of […]
