In honor of this occasion, we thought it might be nice to revisit the historic Ronald Reagan’s Brandenburg Gate speech from 1987. Thank you. Thank you, very much. Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President […]Continue reading →
Earlier this week, we were told that peace talks with the Taliban would resume in earnest on Thursday, after three years of fits, starts, and fiery clouds of shrapnel. Supposedly Mullah Omar authorized these talks, even though he’s been keeping a very low profile. How low? The rest of the Taliban was basically ready to […]Continue reading →
As Americans obsess over NSA spying, abuse by the IRS and other assaults on our freedom, I can’t get my mind off the thousand other ways politicians abuse us. In their arrogance, they assume that only they solve social problems. They will solve them by banning this and that, subsidizing groups they deem worthy and […]Continue reading →
Mike Shedlock: Reader “BC” passed on a series of articles about jobs and wages, and matching up graduates with the skills companies seek. The articles are all in regards to China. Change the names and faces, and the stories sound to me like things you could easily read here. The problems are universal: too many […]Continue reading →
You can try to put “conservative” lipstick on the lawless amnesty mob. In the end, however, it’s still a lawless mob. The big government/big business alliance to protect illegal immigration got a lot of mileage using foolish Republicans Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan as front men. But the true colors of the open-borders grievance-mongers always […]Continue reading →
Ann Coulter Well, of course the government is spying on Americans! Look at the havoc caused by American citizens engaging in terrorism. There’s “American citizen” David Coleman Headley, who conspired with Pakistani military officers to commit the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, that left more than 160 people dead. Headley’s ancestors served under […]Continue reading →
The House voted on Wednesday to cut food stamps by $2 billion a year as part of a wide-ranging farm bill. The chamber rejected 234-188 a Democratic amendment to the five-year, half-trillion-dollar farm legislation that would have maintained current spending on food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. The overall bill […]Continue reading →
Former investigators are pushing to reopen the probe into the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800, saying new evidence points to the often-discounted theory that a missile strike may have downed the jumbo jet. The New York-to-Paris flight crashed July 17, 1996, minutes after it took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all […]Continue reading →

Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground domestic terrorist who was involved in the 1970 bombing of the New York City Police Department headquarters, the 1971 bombing of the United States Capitol building, and the 1972 bombing of the Pentagon, has declared Obama to be a […]Continue reading →
by Gary DeMar Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), presidential candidate, and now political commentator for the Fox News channel recommend to Baptist pastors that they should consider rejecting tax exempt status for their churches because of concerns of not being able to speak freely about social and political issues. He told a group of […]Continue reading →
by Tad Cronn It’s one of those laugh-or-cry stories. A CNN poll has found that almost half — 47 percent — of Americans believe the White House ordered the IRS to target the Tea Party and other conservative groups. As a result, fully 50 percent no longer trust President Obama. Perhaps the poll is a […]Continue reading →
By: John Hayward Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is still nursing presidential aspirations, despite Republican unease about the “comprehensive immigration reform” he whole-heartedly supports, after losing an argument with himself and immediately backpedaling from a book he had only just published.Continue reading →
Update to a story from last month: Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory has produced a video to his constituents, explaining why he switched parties from Democrat to Republican. This made him the first black Republican state senator in Louisiana since Reconstruction. To reiterate my earlier reservations, I’m not a big fan of party switchers. Party […]Continue reading →
