“I was just a kid,” said Mr. Sharpe. “One spring day, Father called me to go with him to Old Man Trussell’s blacksmith shop. He had left a rake and a hoe to be repaired. And there they were, ready and fixed like new. Father handed over a silver dollar for the repairing, but Mr. […]
He’s baaack! Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is back in the saddle after falling off his horse at the starting line. At least according to one poll (Public Policy Polling), Gingrich is actually the GOP front-runner. Many say it’s simply Gingrich’s turn to be the not-Mitt contender, now that Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry […]
According to CBS News, “the number of people in the U.S. living in poverty in 2010 rose for the fourth year in a row, representing the largest number of Americans in poverty in the 52 years since such estimates have been published by the U.S. Census Bureau.” MSNBC said, “The U.S. poverty rate remains among […]
My new book, “American Bombshell: A Tale of Domestic and International Invasion,” has just been published almost in lockstep with poor Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s Republican-primary debate gaffe. It’s convenient timing, because both of these things depict the emphasis on buzz and style over substance in today’s media and politics. Best described as a roman […]
Greetings: from Los Angeles County.: That’s Los Angeles CA,: the State who’s Repubican Party gave the world President Ronald Reagan. President Reagan was a great leader who built a winning coalition on fiscal responsibility, traditional American moral values and peace through strength. President Reagan’s policies created years of robust economic growth in America while leading to the […]
There are good people who live in Berkeley. I hope they both forgive me. I used to live in Oakland, but as the 2010 elections approached and it became apparent that California would lurch further to the left and toward insolvency, my family and I fled to the safety of a red state. Nevertheless, the […]
The End of the Internet as We Know It Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee will hold their first hearing on E-PARASITE, a bill written by Hollywood lobbyists that could end the Internet as we know it. They’ve had their say, now it’s our turn. Act now to protect Internet freedom by contacting the members of […]
Over this past weekend several hundred conservative bloggers, writers, political operatives, and Tea Patiers got together in Denver, Colorado to attend a conference aimed toward helping these activists be more effective n their efforts. But conservative activism wasn’t the only theme on the schedule when the event was crashed by denizens of Occupy Denver who […]
In 2008 a pipeline operated by Pacific Gas & Electric exploded destroying several homes and killing 72-year-old Wilbert Paana. Since that time authorities have been attempting to determine what sort of fines PG&E should face for its negligence. Recently administrative law judge John Wong proposed that a fine of $38 million — and an end […]
I was able to take a few minutes to interview Karen Harrington, a candidate for a Florida House seat. Oh, she’s not running for just any House seat. She’s running to topple the odious Debbie Wasserman-Schultz — mouth of the Democrat National Committee. Harrington ran against Wasserman Schultz in the 20th District in 2010 and […]
Across this great nation, environmental groups have been waging a war. A long war. A hot war. A war on that great menace to society, that irrepressible environmental monster that tortures our very existence, that tree-wasting behemoth that haunts their very nightmares, that booster seat for short people who drive really big cars: the Yellow […]
We’re doooooomed! (UK Guardian) The lesson the world is learning the hard way from the financial crisis is that there is only one boat and we are all in it. To stay afloat, we need rules tough enough to stop systemic risks becoming systemic collapses. This lesson is as true for the environment as it […]
Looks like Mayor Bloomberg finally had enough, weeks after the people who live and work in the Zuccotti Park area of New York City had enough. The NY Times is there (probably standing far away, as they did not want to be taken for bankers in their hoity toity highfalutin power suits) Hundreds of New […]
Herman Cain is conservative, has a successful background in business, is charismatic, tremendously likable — he has a lot of strengths. That’s why it wasn’t a fluke when he moved into first place. However, it’s also not a fluke that his poll numbers are starting to deflate. The sexual harassment scandal is taking its toll, […]
Wow, that didn’t take long. Public Policy Polling for November 14, 2011. Newt Gingrich has taken the lead in PPP’s national polling. He’s at 28% to 25% for Herman Cain and 18% for Mitt Romney. The rest of the Republican field is increasingly looking like a bunch of also rans: Rick Perry is at 6%, […]
Is life hard for you? Do you struggle all the time? Do you wish things were easier? If so, that puts you in exactly the same boat as EVERYONE ELSE on the entire planet. Many people don’t realize this because we trick ourselves. We think, “If I had ‘X,’ everything would be fantastic! If I […]
I spent last week-end at Freedomworks’ Blog Con in Denver, Colorado. It was an extraordinary event, in part because Tabitha Hale, Sarah Desprat, Kristina Ribali, Celia Bigelow, Matt Kibbe and the rest of the crew at Freedomworks did such a wonderful job and in part because we spent an inordinate amount of time interacting with […]

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for 50 years. One of the often-repeated catch phrases of our time — “It’s the economy, stupid!” — has already stopped thinking in some quarters for a couple of decades. There is no question that the state of the economy can affect […]
While Occupy protesters continue to rant in select cities around the country, I’m wondering who is shadier: corporate Wall Street or corporate media? Of course, there’s no surprise or secret in saying that the mainstream media (MSM) are biased. Even when the CBS producer inadvertently sent an anti-Michele Bachmann email to one of her own […]
President Obama’s various remarks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO business summit in Honolulu over the weekend show he is simply incapable of growing in office. In just a few short statements, we saw many of the familiar practices through which he has alienated such a large percentage of the American people and damaged the […]
I periodically write and regularly broadcast about male-female issues because I want to help men and women, especially husbands and wives, get along better. But I have developed a secondary reason: to elicit left-wing reactions. They reveal an enormous amount about how the left thinks. For example, one of the biggest left-wing websites (Daily Kos) […]
“Success with Honor” is the motto of Penn State’s athletic program. They got it half right. The alleged sexual abuse of young boys by former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is disgusting, outrageous, and immoral. That so many at the school’s highest level allegedly engaged either in covering up serial abuses, or turned a blind eye […]
A thank you to our veterans for the sacrifices they’ve made in the name of freedom featuring comments from Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Don Stenberg, Dan Liljenquist, and Adam Hasner. Freedom Works debuted this great video for Veteran’s Day while we were in Denver this past weekend. It is now up at Youtube and, even […]
In the upcoming Republican primary I am not voting for Brian Williams, Brett Baier, Scott Pelly, Wolf Blitzer or any other member of the Old Media. I am trying to figure out which Republican nominee for president I might want to support. So why has every so-called debate featured mediots trying to prove to their […]
Joe wants “serious politics.” OK, perhaps we’ll start something new for Mondays: I ask, you answer. Since this is a first, I’ll give two questions. Pick one or both First: What are the ramifications of Iran being able to build their own nuclear weapons? Second: Mitt Romney is the presumptive GOP front-runnet. What are the […]
Freedomworks had the 2nd annual Blogcon 2011 in Denver, Colorado this year. Happily, they flew me in to….I don’t know really. They didn’t have me teaching anything. I like to think it’s because I’m just that much fun to hang out with, but I tend to doubt it. Day 0: ArrivalPeople started arriving on Thurday […]
And, by little people, I mean kids who have been forced by teachers, the voices of authority for a good chunk of their waking day 5 days a week during school season, to worship Obama. Really bad news for a Monday, folks Kids’ obsession with President Obama fades At Barack Obama Elementary School in Upper […]
Remember, this is just like the Tea Party, a narrative the liberal media are having a tough time sticking to as of late (Raleigh N&O) A police tactical team of more than 25 police officers arrested eight demonstrators Sunday afternoon and charged them with breaking and entering for occupying a vacant car dealership on Franklin […]
This is from the Occupy Denver protest on Saturday, November 12. I was in the middle of it with my buddy April Gregory when 300 cops in riot gear faced off with the crowd. April and I were driven across the street by a riot wall, one of the cops later pointed his gun at […]
