Today’s doom story (Sustainable Business) Scientists keep beating the drum, hoping the world will wake up to the fact that climate change is a real, non-partisan, non-advanced vs development country issue. Dubbing the phenomenal recent explosion in human activity, “The Great Acceleration,” leading scientists say time is running out to minimize the risk of setting […]
The first arguments by the government in support of the already wildly over budget Obamacare law were heard at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday and there is an interesting lesson in media bias that can be seen in the reporting of the day’s presentation. The difference between how the government’s opening arguments was reported […]
It turns out that George Zimmerman, who’s now apparently the James Earl Ray of a new generation because Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama and company thought they could score points off inserting themselves into an extremely ambiguous criminal case, is a Democrat. This is highly ironic in a number of different ways, isn’t it? […]
Charles Murray’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 has been one of the most innovative and talked about political books of 2012 with good reason. It’s a sobering book that talks about the huge chasm that has developed between the elite and the rest of America over the last 50 years. In the […]
It’s entirely possible that George Zimmerman was attacked, defended himself, and did nothing illegal or immoral when he shot Trayvon Martin. So, instead of deciding who’s wrong based on the incomplete evidence the public has in the case right now, maybe people should wait for all the facts to come out before they decide who’s […]
Now is the time for all good tea partiers to come to the aid of Wisconsin. Fiscally conservative leaders in the Badger State are under coordinated siege from Big Labor, the White House, the liberal media and the judiciary. The yearlong campaign of union thuggery, family harassment and intimidation of Republican donors and businesses is […]
Politicians say they “create jobs.” In fact, only the private sector generates the information needed to create real, productive jobs. Since this current post-recession job recovery is the slowest in 80 years, you’d think that even know-it-all politicians would want to sweep away the labyrinth of government regulations that hinders job creation. Successful job creators […]
Outside the beltway, polling indicates a massacre of Senate Democrats is in the offing in the 2012 elections. Currently, Rasmussen’s polls have Republicans leading Democrats for eight Senate seats now held by Democrats. Bill Nelson is six behind Connie Mack in Florida; Claire McCaskill is 10 behind Sarah Steelman in Missouri; John Tester is three […]
When Barack Obama asserted — in advance of a completed police investigation, let alone a jury trial or grand jury investigation — that he identified with young Trayvon Martin, the black teenager shot and killed in Florida, it was an extraordinarily reactionary moment with possible ramifications of interference with the justice system. But it was […]
What if the atheists declared they were about to throw “the largest atheist event in world history” on a Saturday in Washington and few people showed up? Reason Rally organizer David Silverman estimated that “99 percent of all atheists are closeted.” The closet must still be full, because they sure weren’t in Washington. The Washington […]
I’m a recently divorced 40-something woman, now dating again, and I’m wondering what the guidelines are on how long to wait to have sex. I’m not interested in casual sex, but I have a healthy libido. If I’m really attracted to a man, I’ll be dealing with some powerful mixed (internal) signals regarding how long […]
In France, an Islamic terrorist has likely hijacked the agenda for the remainder of the French presidential race. That terrorist is 23-year-old Mohammed Merah, a Franco-Algerian from Toulouse who was fatally riddled with bullets by French forces last week after a 30-hour standoff and took the television remotes of an entire nation with him. Because […]
“White Hispanic.” That’s how the New York Times, Reuters and other media outlets have opted to describe George Zimmerman, a man who would simply be Hispanic if he hadn’t shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The term, rarely if ever used before this tragedy, is necessary in telling the Martin story in a more comfortable […]
The following two tidbits come from Glen Van Ekeren’s “Speakers Source Book.” Star Daily is a man who became prominent in England as a notorious, vicious killer, a hardened armed robber whose difficulty can be traced to his childhood. His teacher routinely called on him to stand and read a passage in front of the […]
I suppose we should thank MSNBC contributor and Democrat Strategist Karen Finney for her illogical, uninformed, hate-filled, lie-laden rant on MSNBC on March 23. As prosaic and free of any intelligent content it is, her attack on Rush Limbaugh and any other Republican that popped into her pretty little head at the time served as […]
In 1980, incumbent Democrat President Carter lost reelection to Republican challenger Ronald Reagan in large part due to high gas prices and a weak economy. This year, not only are gas prices sky high and continuing to rise, but there is massive unemployment and a foreclosure crisis. Virtually everyone agrees that the economy is the […]
In the midst of record high gas prices, which threaten the President’s re-election chances more than anything (other than perhaps his decision to sell out our missile defense system to Russia for two cases of vodka and a promise not to attack Canada until we’re ready to invade from the other side), you would think […]
There are certainly many folks who bring unhelpful, inflammatory, and idiotic statements to any discussion of race, such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Chris Matthews, Hollywood nitwits who never even graduated high school, Spike Lee, The Black Panthers, Keith Olbermann, but, really, who better to “act stupidly” than Mayor Michael Nutter? With the one-month anniversary […]
Monday was the preliminarily remarks, attempting to set certain boundaries and assess a few basic questions. Politico provides 5 takeaways, which include The feds’ taxing power argument may be D.O.A. The justices don’t seem willing to let the Obama administration have it both ways on the tax argument – a point that one of the […]
These quotes all come from the James Lileks: Newhouse: columns. They go from his first one back in 2002 to the present day — August 8, 2003. “The al-Qaida cell broken up near Buffalo, N.Y., contains some citizens who also found themselves in Afghanistan, training for the Great All-Around Satan Smiting. Treason? Oh, of course not. They […]
“People of medicore ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don’t know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.” — George Allen “The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.” — Red Auerbach “Don’t go to the grave with life unused.” — Bobby Bowden “Never quit. […]
If you enjoy these quotes from Frank J’s “In My World” series, you can read more of Frank J’s work at: IMAO. Buck ventured into the nearby town where many citizens watched. “Hello, I’m Buck the Marine, from America. I’ve come to help some of you for’ners and kill others. If you are a for’ner I’m […]
Remember this? “Under my plan, the “Cap and Trade System” electricity rates would necessarily sky rocket” Well, since he cannot get that to happen through legislation, even during the time Democrats fully controlled the Senate and House, (NMP) Obama looks to have the EPA institute regulations which will lead to higher energy costs and less […]
The mainstream media has bent over backwards to portray Trayvon Martin as a choir boy who couldn’t have possibly been at fault and George Zimmerman as a malicious racist who was bent on killing him for no reason whatsoever. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to square with the facts we’ve learned since then. That doesn’t mean […]
When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they’re doing so for purely selfish reasons. It’s the human equivalent of a puppy dog’s face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look […]
As part of a never-ending series, I like to do short reviews of the books I read. Here are the latest 20 books I’ve read along with the previous 220 that I’ve perused included. PS: If you’re wondering why there are very few low rated books on this list, it’s because I have a low […]
It is not often that I agree with Geraldo Rivera, but recently he said something very practical and potentially life-saving, when he urged black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies. There is no point in dressing like a hoodlum when you are not a hoodlum, even though that has […]
In his typical duck-‘n’-dodge fashion, President Barack Obama spewed his 115th executive order upon the American public on a late Friday afternoon, March 16. Cloaked in one of Obama’s candy-coated, grandiloquent titles, the “National Defense Resources Preparedness” executive order set the blogosphere ablaze this past week. Canada Free Press ran an article titled “Obama Executive […]
