First, there was [email protected]. Then the Obama campaign launched the the Attack Watch website. Now the Committee for the Perpetual Re-election of Barack H. Obama has a new trick to collect private information about Republicans and other Enemies of the State: getting your Democratic friends to rat you out under the guise of a “joke.” […]

Over the Past few days a few stories arriving on the internet have combined to give us a look at the “ghost of socialist America future.” A Rasmussen poll told us that 26% of adults in this country believe the government, (read Obama Administration) should manage our economy. Surprisingly just 23% say government should stay […]

For years, Barack Obama has diverted attention from his own economic decisions by blaming his predecessor, George W. Bush, for the nation’s financial woes, from deficits to debt to taxes to Medicare and Medicaid spending. But that strategy has reached the end of its effectiveness, according to a new poll that reveals more people blame […]

The Republican Party hacks — the ossified leaders who appear to cooperate with the Democrats to help conservative candidates lose primaries and general elections — got exposed for what they really are this week. In some staffer’s mistake (or was it?), a Yahoo News reporter allegedly heard the old has-beens warn against “making personal attacks […]

Atheist messages have displaced most of the Christmastime nativity scenes that for nearly six decades a coalition of local churches had placed in Santa Monica’s ocean-view park. Local churches have traditionally claimed 14 of the 21 Palisades Park display spaces to illustrate the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. But atheists managed to get […]

Raising taxes on millionaires may be a non-starter for Republicans, but they seem to have no problem hiking Medicare premiums for retirees making a lot less.

According to many authoritative sources, the modern day Palestinians are derived from various ethnic groups including Jews, Romans, Muslims, Turks, Egyptians, etc. who lived in or conquered the land that is called the Southern Levant which roughly encompasses modern day Israel, the West Bank, […]

Just when you thought Attorney General Eric Holder couldn’t get more sordid and arrogant, he has. His testimony last week before the House Judiciary Committee took the scandal plagued Justice Department into territory not traveled since John Mitchell worked overtime to conceal administration wrongdoing nearly four decades ago. Even Chairman Darrell Issa recognizes the comparison […]

While most mainstream media outlets have refused to report on this, newly uncovered emails show that one of the aims, if not the chief aim, of Operation Fast and Furious was to forward an anti-gun agenda. Operation Fast and Furious was a failed sting operation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. […]

The good news about future US energy supplies just keeps coming. In today’s Wall Street Journal Daniel Yergin, easily the country’s most thoughtful energy student, projects that US oil production is headed to grow by another 2 million barrels a day by 2020 — an increase of more than 50 percent in our current oil […]

  U.S. Citizens suspected of terrorism and caught on U.S. soil forfeit their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence underlying the Constitution. That appears to be the current position of the Senate, according to many legal analysts and some in Congress, unless President Obama vetoes the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed […]

A New York Times story about a “modest” global tax mentions some of those supporting the idea but forgets an important one—the United Nations. I attended a November 30 U.N.-sponsored conference in Washington, D.C., where officials of the U.N. Development Program (UNDP) appeared on a panel endorsing the idea.
