It’s hard to figure who looks worse in this story, Elizabeth Warren or Harvard Law School’s affirmative action policies. Warren is the former Harvard law professor whom President Barack Obama pegged to set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Now she is running as a Democratic challenger to Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass. Last month, the […]
There will be investigations and already there are lawsuits over the rollout of Facebook’s overhyped IPO last week, but no investigation is necessary into the reason for the outrage over the stock’s rapid fall. It’s called human nature. It is the same characteristic that causes people to believe against staggering odds that they can win […]
We are two proud Jewish New Yorkers (and fathers) of the same age. While we may differ in some of our approaches and styles in business and politics — one of us aligns more with conservative causes and one of us leans more liberal — we share a strong interest in celebrating Israel. And we […]
Justin Bieber beat someone up yesterday. That’s like being beaten up by….ehr, what’s worse than being beaten up by Justin Bieber? Michael Cera maybe? From the Daily Mail If this is the face you see after you’re hit so hard in the chest you go to the hospital, your man card is revoked. Sheriff Lt. […]
Americans citizens are being victimized, threatened, and sometimes even killed by illegal immigrants. They’re victims of our government’s intentional refusal to secure our border. It’s not that we can’t secure the border — we certainly can. The truth is that there are businessmen with deep pockets who profit from illegals and Democrats who want as […]
From The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty on intelligent men. — George Orwell, P.1 After an eighteen-month campaign, all of the informed, conscious, and ideologically consistent voters have already made up […]
Shockingly, Tim Flannery doesn’t link this to the climate change (hoax) (note-the story originally comes from the Australian Herald Sun, but you need a paid subscription to read it) (FoxNY) Australia’s chief climate commissioner says mercury tooth fillings should be removed from corpses before they are cremated. The practice should be made law, Professor Tim […]
Having a cookout this Memorial Day? Are you serving pork? Be careful that you cook it long enough, you don’t want anyone to get attacked by salmonella. I hope it’s not delayed or cancelled due to the weather. A storm could cause problems, and cause a power outage. What’s this about? Cyber security. Perhaps even […]
The ham-handed Barack Obama campaign attack ads on Mitt Romney’s former firm Bain Capital have drawn a lot of ire from other Democrats. And not just because they were sloppily fact-checked (the ads hit Romney for layoffs long after he left Bain) and because a leading Obama money bundler is a Bain executive himself. Chiming […]
God bless cell phones. With them we can chat with our friends; we can watch the grossest zit since the dawn of time being popped via YouTube; and our kiddos can record their bat crap crazy teachers attempting to mitigate their First Amendment rights! This week audio surfaced of a North Carolina teacher, Tanya Dixon-Neely […]
It’s graduation season, and prominent political and media figures are making the rounds to give commencement speeches at colleges across the country. The president, administration officials, progressive members of Congress, left-wing television talking heads, liberal columnists, etc., are spewing so many feel-good platitudes that you’d think doing so was an Olympic event and they were […]
Churchville, VA–I had my second-most-remarkable moment while at the Heartland climate skeptics’ conference in Chicago last week. The conference was terrific, for climate scientists, geologists, economists, NASA engineers, and interested attendees. The highlight for me, though, was Sebastian Lunning, who co-authored Germany’s best- selling new book The Cold Sun:Why the Climate Catastrophe Won’t Happen. Lunning’s […]
After a morning in remembrance of our fallen troops and an afternoon firing up the gas grill to burn up a mess of burgers, hot dogs, and brats for my family as we observe what has become a traditional American Memorial day meal (Some of us are working tomorrow, so we had our meal today), […]
For Memorial Day, I don’t usually post much, preferring to dedicate the day to memorializing our troops. To do that this year, I am going to share this story about the mettle of our troops. What follows are excerpts from remarks by Marine Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly to the Semper Fi Society of St. […]
Just a few stories from the previous week (and one, technically, from next week), whether or not I blogged about them at the time. Click the link under each one for more explanation. Link: Althouse. Link: Right Reactions. Link: Althouse again. Link: Trog. Link: The Other McCain. Also, gleefully swiped from Dan Collins: Onward: Link: […]
The NY Times’ Thomas Friedman is a bit upset that his lord and master Barack H. Obama won’t talk about all his accomplishments, without realizing that most of Obama’s accomplishments are seen in a negative light by Americans DURING a recent discussion in Seattle with a group of educators, one of them surprised me when […]
Potential time waster. But interesting. Hello, I’m a musical time machine. Go back in time to hear how popular music has changed from 1940 to today, as told by the Billboard Top 100.
He’s had a: good time.
As a candidate for president in 2008, Barack Obama pledged to “immediately” review federal mandatory minimum sentences “to see where we can be smarter on crime and reduce the ineffective warehousing of nonviolent drug offenders.” Obama also had written memoirs, in which he admitted to using marijuana and cocaine — “maybe a little blow when […]
Owning a: PR Agency, we represent a client, a preacher with a large church and following, including on television and I challenge him every single time he wants to do secular media interviews. I fight him every step of the way because this minister feels in his heart that people are naturally good and fair-minded, and […]
Turning back to that page out of Stalin’s handbook for good citizenship, the Obama campaign has revived its program of asking Americans to inform on fellow citizens when they see someone, some organization, some politician, or some news outlet “attacking” the Obammessiah. Some of you may recall the black eye that team Obama got when […]
This should make the Warmists happy (NJ.com) After a year of erratic weather, a large majority of New Jersey residents consider climate change and global warming a real concern – and they also expect government to start taking a bigger role in protecting the environment, according to a Kean University/NJ Speaks poll released today. The […]
Over at Real Clear Politics, Jack Kelly has a long piece which says that Obama is more like a 40 watt CFL in a sea of 100 watt incandescent Barack Obama is the smartest man with the highest IQ ever to be elected to the presidency, historian Michael Beschloss told radio talk show host Don […]
I’ve made this same point before, with no effect. So maybe now that Byron York is writing about the latest “Obama citizenship” flap, we can make some headway. York writes: The Constitution specifies that a president must be a “natural born citizen” of the United States, but it does not define the term. The Supreme […]
We could learn something from them. The Swiss “debt brake”–at first glance–seems like a good idea.
You know, for: just in case.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find it hard to believe liberals believe in liberalism anymore. With the obvious global meltdown of Keynesian economics, how could anyone remotely intelligent support the continued deficit spending that is driving the Western World into bankruptcy? And yet a large proportion of our population still backs Barack Obama for […]
Florida is on the front lines of the Obama machine for the Jewish vote — Last week: at the B’nai Torah Congregation in Boca Raton, Susan Rice, the US Ambassador to the UN and an Obama cabinet member made a speech supporting Obama — and about two dozen pro-Israel people who managed to get in to […]
The year 2012 is rapidly becoming a year of historic elections. Greece held one recently where no single Party won enough of the vote to form a government. In ensuing weeks no progress was made by the nation’s Parties while negotiating to form a coalition. This potentially could lead to a chaotic situation, not just […]
As one of his first official acts, President Barack Obama made a great show of his deep concern for the idea of equal pay for women by signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act, a bill that was supposed to solve that inequity. Sadly, it appears that Obama and his Democrats are only interested in forcing private […]
