Here’s Joy Behar, who as far as I can tell, has a career as a “liberal comedian” despite neither being talented or funny, mainly because she insults conservatives at every opportunity. MEDIAITE: He was making fun of the President for wanting to hire more policemen and firemen and teachers saying, you know, “Didn’t he get […]
After my dog Patton passed away, I missed him to pieces. I’d sort of habitually look to see where he was when I got up, think about giving him food when I ate, think about taking him outside and realize he wasn’t there. You don’t quite realize how much a really good dog is woven […]
It’s been a bad few weeks months years for Obama on the economy. Nothing seems to be working. And it seems that every week over the last few months has been labeled as a “really bad week” by, well, everyone, including the MSM and Democrat pundits. We were treated to O’s “the private sector is […]
Before we get to the money quote, which happens to be the 2nd to last paragraph of this Politico story, we learn, via a Pew Global Attitudes Survey, that people around the world have cooled on Obama’s foreign policy Global opinion of President Barack Obama has declined dramatically since 2009, according to a new survey […]
Some of the responses to my column last week, titled “Immoral Beyond Redemption,” prove that Americans have been hoodwinked by Congress. Some readers protested my counting Social Security among government handout programs that can be described as Congress’ taking what belongs to one American and giving to another, to whom it doesn’t belong — legalized […]
During the summer of 2009, conservative activists turned up the heat on Democratic politicians to protest the innovation-destroying, liberty-usurping Obamacare mandate. In the summer of 2012, it’s squishy Republican politicians who deserve the grassroots flames. In case you hadn’t heard, even if the Supreme Court overturns the progressives’ federal health care juggernaut, prominent GOP leaders […]
Any day now, the U.S. Supreme will rule on whether the Obamacare insurance mandate is constitutional. Seems like a no-brainer to me. How can forcing me to engage in commerce be constitutional? But there’s a deeper question: Why should government be involved in medicine at all? Right before President Obama took office, the media got […]
The English-teacher son of a Pulitzer Prize winner gave a much-ballyhooed commencement speech recently to students graduating from an American high school that one might categorize as privileged. David McCullough Jr., a teacher at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts and the son of the Pulitzer-winning historian David McCullough, began by comparing the “great forward-looking ceremony” […]
Both can’t be telling the truth. One is lying. The New York Times says that the national security leaks that exposed our cyber-war against Iran and how our drone strikes against terrorists operate came from “aides” to the president and “members of the president’s national security team who were in the [White House Situation Room]” […]
Soon after the president dropped his ill-advised “the private sector is doing fine” gaffe, White House press secretary Jay Carney scolded the media for failing to frame the comment in the proper “context.” Which is weird, because the context is the worst part. Yes, government “creates” jobs, often out of thin air. The private sector […]
Les Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS, took his wife, the former CBS news anchor Julie Chen, on a date on June 6 — to a star-studded Beverly Hills Democratic Party fundraiser starring President Obama. He told a reporter for the Los Angeles Times of his respect for Obama, who he said “has shown […]
In California, the mayor of a major city has decided that it’s time to renegotiate union pensions, which are bankrupting the municipality; more specifically, he wants to raise the retirement age. The governor of the state wants to revamp the welfare system, forcing people to get back to work within two years rather than four. […]
The 1990 Italian film “Everybody’s Fine” is one of the most depressing films I’ve ever seen. Starring the late Marcello Mastroianni, it’s the story of an old man who tells his wife he’s going to visit their grown kids. According to their letters the kids are doing great, but he’d like to see for himself. […]
My boyfriend of two months is a gem, but his house is a horror. The fridge and bathroom are disgusting, and the whole place is seriously messy. There’s this eerie feeling that the house was formerly homey, like nothing has changed since his wife left him three years ago — down to the box of […]
The International Conference on Global Governance vs. National Sovereignty, sponsored by American Freedom Alliance, concluded Monday in Los Angeles CA. The chief question posed at the Conference’s opening: Is Global Governance vs. National Sovereignty the West’s next ideological war? John Bolton, Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN gave Sunday morning’s Keynote Speech. Ambassador Bolton […]
The harassment that seems to follow people who get caught in the crosshairs of Speedway bomber Brett Kimberlin has started to put a spotlight on the staggering level of abuse that many activists, columnists, and bloggers on the Right have to endure just to exercise their First Amendment rights. If liberals had to deal with […]
Even calling Obama “cool” is racist (Washington Examiner) Angela Rye, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, argued that President Obama has struggled during his first term due to racially-motivated opposition from conservatives who dislike having a black president. “This is probably the toughest presidential term in my lifetime,” Rye said during CSPAN’s Q&A yesterday. […]
The big questions is, can anything be done prior to the November election on this lawsuit? Will Florida get the information they need to purge the Florida voter rolls of those who are not legally entitled to vote? (The Hill) Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) said he will sue the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) […]
When I was in college, Madonna’s book “Sex” was white hot. Unfortunately, it was also very expensive and although I was very curious, there was no way I would have ever dropped $50 on it. However ironically, it turned out that there was a copy of her book in UNC-Charlotte’s library. So, I headed up […]
When you have: more than 4,600 friends on Facebook, you’re guaranteed to have a few stinkers in the bunch. Sadly, like career criminals, the worst transgressors: tend to repeat their crimes over and over again, which is why it’s a good idea to get them out of your feed. Are you one of these repeat offenders who’s […]
The quotation of the week last week had to be that of Harvard professor Daniel E. Lieberman in an opinion piece for the New York Times. Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology, was among those who publicly defended New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s plan to ban the sale of sugared soft drinks in […]
Star Parker is the President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) and a leading pro-life activist. A nationally syndicated columnist, she has led the fight against the HHS contraception/sterilization/abortifacient mandate, both in writing and publicly speaking out against its violations of a myriad of American rights and traditions. These speeches and columns […]
It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a “socialist.” He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard […]
How much power does the president actually possess? That is a question at the heart of most debates about the federal government. Declaring war, writing executive orders, legislating, allocating taxpayers’ money and even influencing what your children learn and eat are just a very small sample of subjects hotly under dispute right now. Well, I […]
President Obama continues to prove how out of touch he is with the plight of the American people under his anemic economy. No, Mr. President, the economy and the private sector are not “doing fine.” Sure, Obama is pretending that he didn’t mean it the way it sounded. But I am not buying that it […]
“The private sector is doing fine,” President Barack Obama declared Friday at a news conference that was supposed to show that the administration knows how to make the economy stronger. It was a bad way to end a tough week. Wisconsin voters had rejected a recall of their Republican governor, and Bill Clinton had praised […]
LONDON — One of many things left out of the film “The Iron Lady” was Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s warnings on the effects a single currency would have on the economies of European nations. Thatcher’s premonitions place her among the great political prophets of all time. On the single currency, Peter Oborne, a columnist for […]
Journalists are crying foul at a new Obama policy that will deny them the right to use their own computers to write stories from economic data issued inside the halls of the Department of Labor. Instead, the DoL says, journalists will have to use government owned computers, government selected software, and government owned Internet transmission […]
