Are you an elderly American? Well get ready to be determined a non-essential medical expenditure if Obamacare has any say in the matter — which it will if its allowed to become fully implemented. A caller to the nationally syndicated Mark Levin talk radio show last week gave us an appalling sneak peak at the […]
It’s kinda strange that the Attorney General of the United States doesn’t understand the 1st Amendment, but, then, Democrats tend to pick and choose what parts of the Constitution they like, and what they will abide by (Daily Caller) Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing […]
Obviously, he goofed, just like with corpsman, 57 States with 1 more to go, and so many others, because he is just so darned super mega awesome smart. As Jammie Wearing Fools points out, just imagine the nonstop complaints from the media had Bush 43 or Sarah Palin done this (Heritage) It is gratifying to […]
Email: I’d love to get your take on something, which I’ve asked many people, mostly Romney/Newt/Perry/Cain/Bachmann/Ron-Paul-Doesn’t-Exist Republicans – few of whom have given me a an answer in any form other than an eye-roll, as if I’m just ‘the cutest little heretic they’ve ever met’. My question is this: How come if you were to […]
Deciding who’s the “most influential” anything is inherently an arbitrary business. It’s even more difficult in this case when we’re comparing politicians, TV personalities, radio hosts, and columnists. Still, somebody had to do it, so… Honorable Mentions: Max Boot, Carolyn Glick, Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, Daniel Pipe, Norman Podhoretz, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Evan Sayet, Paul Wolfowitz […]
Benefiting from a hint from an article titled “Is Harry Potter Making You Poorer?”, written by my colleague Dr. John Goodman, president of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis, I’ve come up with an explanation and a way to end income inequality in America, possibly around the world. Joanne Rowling was a welfare mother […]
At the dawn of his administration, President Obama opined: “A democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency.” Magical rays of white-hot sunlight emanated from his media-manufactured halo. And then bureaucratically engineered darkness settled over the land. For three years, White House officials have rolled out countless executive orders and initiatives touting open government. Just this […]
It used to be common for people to urge us to learn “the lessons of history.” But history gets much less attention these days and, if there are any lessons that we are offered, they are more likely to be the lessons from current polls or the lessons of political correctness. Even among those who […]
This week, in Oakland, Calif., America saw yet another stellar example of the glories of diversity. At a taping of a rap music video in that fair city, eight people, including a one-year-old child, were shot. When a classical music video goes wrong, somebody busts a string. When a rap music video goes wrong, somebody […]
Have you noticed how often government takes sides against the little guy? Street vending has been a path out of poverty for Americans. And like other such paths (say, driving a taxi), this one is increasingly difficult to navigate. Why? Because entrenched interests don’t like competition. So they lobby their powerful friends to erect high […]
Earlier this month, the left-wing magazine The Nation highlighted Joe Therrien as a symbol of the Occupy Wall Street movement. A New York City public-school drama teacher, Therrien was frustrated with the shortcomings of the school system. So he quit his job and “set off to the University of Connecticut to get an MFA in […]
The conventional wisdom is that the GOP nomination race has boiled down to Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Not so fast! A contest limited to these two men would leave two key Republican constituencies unsatisfied. And unsatisfied voters tend to stray. Particularly in Iowa. While Romney is the strong favorite among the financial and political […]
In politics, this has been The Year of Living Dangerously. It has been the year of the risk, the shiver, the shudder, the thrill. All quickly felt. All quickly passing. The media have driven it. Faced with an incumbent president running a careful and as yet uninspiring campaign, and a Republican field as dynamic as […]
From the breaking news, one might think that with a woman who claims she had a 13-year affair with presidential candidate Herman Cain, someone is being seriously exposed as a hypocrite. That would be the press. The media can’t deny they continue to display a lousy double standard. For Republican candidates, scandalous news is instant. […]
Sunday on “Meet the Press” Colin Powell blamed divisive, poisonous Washington politics on the media and the Tea Party. The essence of Powell’s argument was: “Republicans and Democrats are focusing more and more on their extreme left and extreme right. And we have to come back toward the center in order to compromise. … The […]
For 10 years, this woman and I have had a hot-and-cold long-distance relationship, the temperature of which she’s always controlled. She’s 56; I’m 46. Last year, she felt ready to try for something lasting. She couldn’t afford to travel, so I paid for her flight. She stayed with me for two wonderful, passionate months, and […]
Several years ago, on a cold, drizzly morning, I was working in my office, when I heard a strange noise in the chimney. After several minutes, my wife heard it too and thought it might be a bird or a squirrel. I realized it was a bird and that it was trapped, so I opened […]
Mitt Romney arrived at : Conchita Foods, a family owned grocery wholesaler in Miami, Florida, Tuesday morning to gain support from Florida Republicans and increase his appeal to an important Latino voting block, South-Florida’s Cuban-American community. Romney also provided a glimpse on how he can win the Latino vote. The Miami campaign stop trumpeted the endorsement […]
Tis the season for buying books for your loved ones and as always the The New York Times Sunday Book Review is here to help. And as always the Sunday Book Review is there to help us understand that anything from the right side of the aisle, especially the Tea Party, is to be put […]
Government Motors has finally found its hottest car and the Chevy Volt is it. Unfortunately for Chevy, it isn’t because it is popular. It’s because the car seems to catch on fire a lot. Industry watchers are preparing for the Volt to undergo a recall to fix whatever problem the car’s lithium-ion battery pack has […]
Now that Newt Gingrich has become one of the top two contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, he is falling under intense scrutiny. The closer a Republican candidate comes to winning the nomination, the more their conservative credentials are called into question. Gingrich had a very successful tenure as Speaker of the House in the […]
So, 20,000 politicians, bureaucrats, and actors took unnecessary fossil fueled flights to one of the furthest points on the map….sorry, I was going to try and tell a joke, but, the lead is the punchline. Anyhow (The New Age) Climate change at face value may seem to have nothing to do with gender-based violence. But […]
The governor unloads on the Anointed One (Politico) Gov. Chris Christie on Monday tore into President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the supercommittee’s failure to reach an agreement on debt reduction last week, asking the president, “What the hell are we paying you for?” Calling Obama “a bystander in the Oval Office,” the outspoken […]
Barack Obama is very successful at one thing: the bait and switch. He stands before America presenting a picture of a hard-working moderate and claims that he wants to work with the Republicans to get things done. In reality he won’t even meet with them. He talks about compromise, but never offers any. He mouths […]
Back on November 9th, I wrote a post called Why The Latest Sexual Harassment Allegations Are Probably A Deathblow For Cain. Here’s an excerpt, The problem with these sexual harassment allegations, whether they are true or not, is that they’re undercutting every one of his strengths. The Cain campaign has been driven back on its […]
It’s not just morally wrong, it’s unconstitutional for cities like Richmond to charge Tea Partiers to hold protests while they let Occupiers protest for free. Either both groups should be charged comparable rates or neither group should have have to pay. Tea Partiers that have been charged while Occupiers haven’t should demand their money back […]
Milton Friedman was an extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning economist whose ideas helped underpin modern conservative economic theory. His contributions to economics and the conservative movement cannot be underestimated. Sadly, Milton Friedman passed away a little more than five years ago at the ripe old age of 94. Although Friedman is no longer with us, his words, […]
Now that Newt Gingrich has become the latest in a series of Republican front-runners, he is getting the kinds of scrutiny and attacks that have done in other front-runners. One of the issues that have aroused concern among conservative Republicans is that of amnesty for illegal immigrants, especially after Gingrich said that it would not […]
In Part 1, I discussed how the mainstream media, billionaire progressives such as George Soros, the White House and even the Occupy movement are in cahoots with one another. In Part 2, I discussed the MSM’s maneuvering to coronate their choice for the GOP presidential nomination, Soros’ covert investments in the 2012 presidential election, and […]
The GOP presidential nomination process is a roller-coaster ride — sometimes uplifting, other times discouraging, but we press forward. President Obama and his agenda are unspeakably disastrous for the nation, so this election matters more than any in my lifetime. The national debt clock is ticking faster than Obama’s heart beats for big government, and […]
