War is a terrible thing. Even when it is just and properly executed, war means death and destruction. Worse, many brilliant and experienced warriors have observed that wars never follow the original plan. Worse still, the politicians who plan and begin wars, and who are responsible for explaining the reasons and need for support [...]
The Democrats and the media are always claiming that Republicans want dirtier air, more polluted water, and fewer people with health insurance. Here’s Obama in Real Clear Politics a year before the last the presidential election on 10/17/11: The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health [...]
We live in an age of morons. Unfortunately, many of them now hold high office. As an example of this foolishness at the top, consider articles like this nonsense from Foreign Policy magazine. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/01/09/a_new_US_grand_strategy Arrogant socialists imagine that key strategic goals for US foreign policy in the coming decades will depend on impractical economic whims, [...]
Charles Ramsey is a hero. He, with other local residents in a section of Cleveland, helped rescue three young women and a 6 year old from 10 years of captivity by a trio of perverts. Though the substance is serious, Mr. Ramsey’s account of what happened is quite animated. Someone needs to give this man [...]
If you want a poster child for corporate greed, you can look no further than Al Gore. After he failed to get enough votes to win Florida, and therefore the Presidential election in 2000, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs added him to the list of Yes Men on Apple’s board of directors. A report out today [...]
In an advance issue of The Weekly Standard titled The Benghazi Talking Points, Stephen Hayes lays out new evidence that members of the Obama administration actively lied about who was responsible for the death of four Americans. The Weekly Standard has obtained emails detailing how high level officials made changes to the CIA talking points, [...]
In 1972, Great Britain essentially ceded its role in the Middle East to the United States. The move was one of political expedience, as the UK’s leaders hoped to cut their costs supporting long-time allies by passing the duty off to America. The thinking was that the U.S. was already committed on a global scale [...]
One of the newest conservative news sites in Britain, The Commentator, has learned that the British Broadcasting Service (BBC) may have endangered a group of British students during a trip into North Korea by slipping several reporters into the group using student visas as cover for their activities. The trip was arranged by the London [...]
Not long after the news of the bombing at the Boston Marathon broke, lefty filmmaker Michael Moore took to his Twitter feed and went right for blaming “patriots” and tax protestors for the bombing. After a cryptic Tweet saying “2+2=,” Moore retweed a Tweet from Think Progress relating the phone number for those looking for [...]
Keenan Glover might have just killed his job prospects after graduation from pricy Howard University. Would you hire this guy after this question? Forget for a moment his entitlement mentality. (BTW if you wanted living proof Democrats want to enslave black people to government, you can get no better example but forget that for a [...]
Sifting through the seemingly endless bookmarks of articles I had hoped to read these past recent hectic months, I came across a few things which just defy reality. Back in January, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a potential 2016 Republican Presidential candidate, gave a press conference in Union Beach, NJ concerning the painfully slow process with [...]
Rest in Peace thou good and faithful servant.
The Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, has passed away at 87 following a stroke. I’m rarely at a loss for words, but this is one of those times. Margaret Thatcher was one of the great defenders of liberty. She will be sorely missed. I’ll let the Tweets and articles stand as a memorial to her. Flag [...]
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article up this week, about the coming Debt Crisis in China. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324338604578325962705788582.html Mr. Sharma appears to have the credentials to speak on this, not only in his role at Morgan Stanley, but also as a published author on national economies. Forbes also had a recent article about China’s [...]
A few days ago, I saw the viral picture of the now famous dog ‘Tonik,’ who looks like he has a human face. “That’s real news!” (As proclaimed by Ralphie’s father in the movie ‘A Christmas Story,’ refering to a newspaper article about a man who swallowed a yo-yo.) Disturbingly, it seems as if this dog has gotten more [...]
But don’t worry – your family will be able to buy health insurance through a government exchange for a mere $20,000 a year! As much as I would like to call this fiction, it isn’t. The Affordable Care Act health insurance mandate and penalty regulations are confusing and ridiculous. An employer must offer each employee [...]
After years of pushing liberal policies and denying the reality that they do not work, Matthew Yglesias comes face to face with liberalism and whines that regulations stifle new businesses. And then he gets moronic. Starting a Business Is a Huge Pain By Matthew Yglesias|Posted Friday, Feb. 1, 2013, at 6:30 AM ET Last week, [...]
Glenn Reynolds linked to a piece in The Fiscal Times that talks about the continuing marriage penalty in the tax code, and how the rate increase on “wealthy” would hit dual earner especially hard in places where both the cost of living and salaries are high. As noted by a commenter there, the tax divorce [...]
If you haven’t been following the headlines, Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. is headed “over the cliff,” today, with respect to its decision to defy the Obamacare mandate covering birth control and “morning after” contraceptives. Here’s what makes the story interesting. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is a privately owned company, founded and operated by David Green. [...]
Well, as we are all aware of by now, the latest crisis being used to spook the bejesus out of Americans is the upcoming, scary-sounding ‘fiscal cliff.’ Though the fiscal cliff may indeed have the potential to cause some uncomfortable financial consequences for the American taxpayer, let’s not kid ourselves about the true motives behind [...]
My previous post dealt with two “surprise” taxes buried in the new Affordable Care Act regulations. And for the past year, observers have been listing the plethora of new taxes scheduled to take affect in 2013, fiscal cliff or no fiscal cliff. But that isn’t the whole story. Far from it, in fact. All that [...]
Weekly Standard has this article with video. Emphasis added is mine: In response to a question from reporter Major Garrett on whether the Obama administration’s mishandling of Benghazi raises “core questions of basic competency,” press secretary Jay Carney revealed that Barack Obama “is not particularly concerned” about whether Susan Rice misled the American people: “What the president [...]
MSNBC is now so deep into the tank for Obama that they are going to need a bigger one. I previously poked fun at the Obama campaign for changing their slogan from FORWARD to FORWARD! I saw this MSNBC ad last night and found the online version today. Apparently the new slogan for MSNBC is [...]
We’re just eleven days away from the Presidential Election, or more accurately, eleven days away from the end of voting. The news says the race is tight, but you can still find a wide range of outcomes predicted by savants and would-be wizards. While I have the same expectation for the outcome that I have [...]
