Should the West believe Egypt’s new president?

Throughout America’s history, there have been people who denied threats from our enemies. During the Revolutionary War, significant numbers sided with the British monarchy. Enablers in politics, the media and even religion helped Communism remain in power for seven decades in the Soviet Union. German Nazis had their U.S. apologists. The presidential election in Egypt, […]

Supreme Court Sets Stage for Immigration Reform

The Supreme Court’s decision announced Monday in the Arizona v. United States case opens the way for sensible reform of our immigration laws. Barack Obama and his administration have taken heart that the court overturned Arizona’s state penalties for illegal immigrants. The idea is that states can’t pile higher penalties on top of those voted […]

The President’s Populist Pablum

Outsourcing has been successfully lowering costs, creating better jobs and spreading wealth since … well, since the Persians hired Greek mercenaries to do their pillaging. So why are we always knocking it? After the nation’s intuitive comprehension of basic economics sank Barack Obama’s inane diatribe against investment banking, the administration has thrown a new ladleful […]

Crisis PR: Media, Public Relations & Reputation Management

Public Relations: professionals have to saddle a difficult tight walk – Serving clients who pay our bills, and satisfying the media who we usually have to convince to write about our clients. This is a delicate balance, and sometimes PR agencies are hired to keep our clients out of the media or deflect negative stories. Clients’ […]

Ze’ev Jabotinsky: A Prophet For the Jewish People!

“In every generation and in every country, I swear unto you, Rosh Betar,: Ze’ev Jabotinsky, to remain loyal to your ideals–the ideals of Betar, to the banner of Betar, and to the name of Betar.” I grew up in the Betar youth movement, and today so many years later it remains such an important of my […]

NPR Hosannas: Obama’s Voice ‘Clears Up The Weather

At around 130 days until Election Day, National Public Radio thought it would be nice to give the President a little boost by going back to its 2008 practice of assigning to Obama the god-like powers of The One, The Light Bringer, The Obammessiah. This time tax dollar supported NPR thought it would be nice […]

Tax Cheats Received $1.4 Billion In Stimulus Tax Credits

Surprise! (Washington Times) Tax cheats were given $1.4 billion in government-backed mortgage loans under President Obama’s economic stimulus, and the government doled out at least an additional $27 million in tax credits to delinquents who took the first-time-homebuyer tax break, according to a government audit released Tuesday. Under government rules, delinquent taxpayers are supposed to […]

Team Obama’s Brother Sharpton Moment

Attorney General Eric Holder’s people have no shame. After months of stonewalling, misinformation and petulant disregard for the victims of the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, President Obama’s Justice Department is hiding behind the most despicable race-card demagogues on the planet. “Post-racial” America never looked so bitter, clingy and cowardly. At a Tuesday press conference […]

In Praise of Discrimination

I’m scared. I fear that even if the Supreme Court overrules most of Obamacare (or did already, by the time you read this), Republicans will join Democrats in restoring “good” parts of the law, like the requirement that insurance companies cover kids up to age 26 and every American with a pre-existing condition. Those parts […]

Too Much College

In President Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union address, he said that “higher education can’t be a luxury. It is an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” Such talk makes for political points, but there’s no evidence that a college education is an economic imperative. A good part […]

Obama’s Presidency: Colossal Failure

Particularly if the Supreme Court invalidates the individual mandate at the heart of the Obamacare Law, this president’s tenure is increasingly going to be seen as an unmitigated failure. The economy is in shambles and getting worse. The national debt is bloated. The stimulus didn’t work. His health care reform law, his signature program, may […]

Arizona, the Racist State?

Though the Supreme Court overturned much of the Arizona law, just not the part the liberals and their media friends loathed the most, it wasn’t hard to predict the networks would once again line up with the amnesty lobby. ABC’s Diane Sawyer mourned “the most inflammatory part of the law” was upheld. Once again, those […]

A Government of Men, Not Laws

“There is no good government but what is republican,” John Adams wrote. “(T)he very definition of a republic is ‘an empire of laws, and not of men.’” Adams meant that a government in which law is applied at the discretion of powerful people is a bad government. The law must be applied in a straightforward, […]

Jewish Community Isn’t Liberal: Anti-Defamation of Liberals

The recent groundbreaking UJA poll on the Jewish community showed that 74% of all NYC Jewish Children are Orthodox, explosive growth in the Orthodox & Hasidic communities, and a dramatic decline in Jewish observance amongst reform & conservative Jews. Undoubtedly, the Jewish community today is much more conservative on issues – and likely to become […]

The world isn’t buying Europe’s nonsense

As European leaders meet this week in an attempt to once again shoo reality away from the continent’s respirator, countries outside the European Union are making it increasingly clear that they’ll have no role in prolonging the charade. Cyprus has just asked for a bailout from the EU’s ATM, joining Greece, Ireland, Portugal and, most […]

Voter apathy isn’t a crime

It’s a sure sign someone is losing when he demands that the rules be changed. That might explain the renewed interest in forcing people to vote against their will. Peter Orszag, President Obama’s former budget director and now a vice chairman at Citigroup, recently wrote a column for Bloomberg View arguing for making voting mandatory. […]

Thrilla In Vanilla

My best friend is a guy. We have tons in common and have conversations that are lively, honest, and deep. He’s basically everything I’ve ever wanted in my future husband, but he has an infatuation for Filipina women half his age. I’m 37, his age, and Caucasian. His plan is to find and marry a […]

From Let My People Go To Let My People Know

Today’s groundbreaking announcement that a charity founded by Russian Jewish billionaires has established a $1 Million annual prize to honor people who attribute their success to Jewish values is the continuation of the raising profile and great influence of Russian Jews. The award, called the Genesis Prize, will be financed by an endowment of about […]

LA Times Styles Romney the Whites Only Candidate

On June 18 the L.A. Times turned in a sly performance attempting to paint Mitt Romney as the whites only candidate in a piece headlined, “Romney, Cows and Ice Cream: Targeting Conservative, White ‘Backbone’.” Romney is calling his current Midwest campaign stint a tour of the “backbone of America,” but it seems the Times is […]

Race Isn’t Everything, It’s the Only Thing

Contempt of Congress charges are being levied against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder because he is a champion “supporting measures to overturn these voter-suppression initiatives in the states”.:  So says Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. A “progressive” has spoken.:  End of story. It is absolutely inconceivable that contempt of Congress charges could be […]

More of the Same…With a Twist

In last year’s Budget Control Act, $2.1 trillion in deficit reduction policies over a ten-year period were enacted. Rather than a serious, substantive attempt to at least reduce America’s enormous deficits, the Act took a hodgepodge of bad policies and put them into place. Then Congress took this hodgepodge and made each policy’s impact so […]

Food Stamp President Wants Even More People On Food Stamps

What he wants is more people dependent on the Central Government, owing their allegiance to Obama and the Democrats, as opposed to finding ways to get the economy moving so that people have the money to purchase food on their own with government help (CNN Money) More than one in seven Americans are on food […]
