What does the future of mankind look like? Is it bright? That’s the impression one gets from reading: Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think. The book argues that advances in technology will solve all of our problems. Food, water, energy, medicine – our capabilities have been rapidly improving on all of these fronts for […]
Despite all the teeth-gnashing and rending of garments from the Left (and filing of nonsense lawsuits by the DOJ), it turns out that Florida’s effort to purge illegal immigrants from the voting rolls is actually targeting Republican white guys. As the Orlando Sentinel reported yesterday: Of the first 107 names reported purged by the state’s […]
Is it time to start talking about the inevitable demise of the Democratic Party? Since the 1990s there’s been a thriving cottage industry of doomsaying about the Republican Party. The gold standard of the genre is undoubtedly 2002’s “The Emerging Democratic Majority” by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, which argued that the Democrats were destined […]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The smell of singed air here is inescapable. Less than 50 miles west of my neighborhood, the latest wildfire has spread across 1,100 acres. It’s the fifth active blaze to erupt in our state over the past month. But ashes aren’t the only things smoldering. The Obama administration’s neglect of the […]
It’s presidential season, so again pundits are indignant that money: is spent on politics. Spent by corporations! And rich people! Because the Supreme Court allowed that, “2012 will be a miserable year,” says The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne 2012 may be miserable — but if it is, it won’t be because corporations spend on politics. And […]
Back in 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said we were “a nation of cowards” on matters of race. Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we’re on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites, which is higher, and […]
The battle of Barak Obama is ending in his defeat. A sagging economy, a likely setback on Obamacare, and sliding job approval are foreclosing the possibility that the president can be re-elected on his record in office. So the battle of Mitt Romney is beginning. It is evident to Obama’s people that only through a […]
Team Barack Obama knows they are in a heap of re-election trouble when pundits look at his shambles of an economic record. So what to do? Easy. The most shameless of our Obama-loving journalists are painting Obama as an action-movie superhero in the war on terror. Just open up Newsweek Magazine to an advertisement for […]
Remember when President Obama inspired Americans with such tired bromides as, “There are no red states or blue states, just the United States”? Remember when Obama declared that Americans had to pull together, because what united us was stronger than what divided us? Yeah, not so much. President Obama’s re-election campaign has been an exercise […]
Hey, did you hear the joke about the world leader who had the answer to the global economic crisis? Well, there you go — now you have. Remember the old days when leaders of developed nations would hold summits to decide how to solve the plight of the world’s poor? Now they ARE the world’s […]
French Socialist President Francois Hollande’s newly elected government is planning to raise taxes on big companies while deterring businesses from engaging in layoffs by making that process more costly. Hoping to nudge companies into investing rather than paying profits to shareholders, the government plans to impose a new 3% tax on dividends. Other plans include […]
A new Twitter-based fundraising tool debuts today and the new service already has the two biggest names in the Politics biz signed up as clients: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Chirpify begins at the top of the heap client-wise as it not only has teams Obama and Romney signed up as clients but it also […]
On Sunday, the New York Times published an editorial about the “fiscal cliff” pundits and politicians are concerned will hit the nation on January 1, 2013. Consisting of spending cuts and tax increases, the “cliff” is based upon the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) expectations that the nation will be put back into recession if the […]
This morning The Hill reported that seven Senate Democrats are opposed to ending the Bush tax policies on anyone, even the wealthy, without a deficit deal along the lines of Simpson-Bowles. This puts the President in quite a tight spot, especially in light of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney’s statement on June 6 that […]
I’m sure no one is surprised nor shocked by the blatant anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian terrorist leanings of the NCDP (Daily Caller) The North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) is seriously considering passing a resolution that would criticize Israel for its “illegal occupation” of Palestine, the latest in a long line of controversial moves coming out of one of […]
Even the NY Times is forced to admit what everyone else except President “The private sector is doing fine” knows: the economy under Obama’s stewardship stinks at all levels Throughout the Great Recession and the not-so-great recovery, the most commonly discussed measure of misery has been unemployment. But many middle-class and working-class people who are […]
Israel issued warnings over security problems with Egypt. Militants from the Sinai Peninsula crossed over into southern Israel Monday and fired on a border security fence, killing one Israeli. The IDF moved tanks and otherarmed forces to the Israel-Egypt border in response to the attack. Egypt is on the offensive against Israel. Egypt’s presidential election […]
1) It’s unquestionably illegal for Barack Obama to issue permits allowing young illegals to work. That would require an act of Congress since it would entail a change in the existing law. 2) Refusing to enforce the existing law sets a terrible precedent. Using the same tactic Mitt Romney could create a flat tax by […]
It would have been unimaginable 20 years ago — well-funded, respected mainstream media outlets like MSNBC being completely scooped and humiliated by a small, relatively unknown blogger called SooperMexican. Yet, that’s exactly what happened. Among others, MSNBC has been pushing a deceptively edited video of a Mitt Romney speech and it was SooperMexican who blew […]
No matter how unfairly you’re treated specifically because you’re a white male, a Christian, a conservative, or a Republican, very few people are going to accept the idea that you’re a victim. That may be unfair, but on the whole, it’s a good thing. America is already awash in people who falsely believe they’re victims […]
President Obama’s latest political ploy — granting new “rights” out of thin air, by Executive Order, to illegal immigrants who claim that they were brought into the country when they were children — is all too typical of his short-run approach to the country’s long-run problems. Whatever the merits or demerits of the Obama immigration […]
Do you remember when President George H.W. Bush made the promise not to raise taxes (“Read my lips: No new taxes”) but unfortunately was talked into raising taxes and it cost him in his bid for a second term? If President Bush No. 41 could lose a re-election by breaking one promise, how can President […]
As disturbing as was President Obama’s lawless usurpation of constitutional authority in circumventing the DREAM Act to grant backdoor amnesty, this type of overreach is nothing new for him. He has frequently complained about how democracy and the Constitution are “messy” and do not permit him to exercise the authority of a Chinese president. But […]
Commentators on both the right and left and both secular and religious note with disdain that Mormons (Latter Day Saints, as Mormons refer to themselves) have irrational practices and beliefs. The former, we are told, includes the wearing of sacred undergarments and the latter includes posthumous baptisms and the claims by the prophet of Mormonism […]
Obviously, by now its’ clear that, while a job in private equity means that Mitt Romney can’t be President, Barack Obama finds his forays into picking winners and losers in the American market a perfectly acceptable use of his time and your money. His next exciting venture? Biotech! Because who needs precious dollars to prevent […]
“This notion I can somehow just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. We are doing everything we can administratively, but fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce. And I think there’s been great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed […]
One of the things we were treated to at this year’s Right Online event, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, was the world premiere of the documentary film Occupy Unmasked. The one thing I can say about this film is it is absolutely intense. The amount of violence committed by the “Occupy” leftists is shocking when […]
We last saw Juan Williams getting beaten like a rented mule by Michelle Malkin. He now has an article out proclaiming that if the Supreme Court rules against Obamacare they will damage the trust of the voters who, um, don’t vote for the Supreme Court in the first place (The Hill)Every political strategist working the […]
Barbara Lee (different Barbara Lee than the Senator) has penned an op-ed for The Politico entitled Fighting dirty against women. What’s dirty? The debate swirling around Elizabeth Warren’s heritage is maddening. Not because it is a sideshow to pull focus from real issues in the Massachusetts Senate race and not because negative attacks are just […]
