Michael Schaus The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is trying to ban smoking… Everywhere. Well, at least everywhere someone might be working, so I guess that’s not as many places as you might think. (Hat tip to Obamanomics.) The CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has suggested banning all tobacco […] Continue reading → 
Larry Kudlow – Co-written by Robert Sinche Neel Kashkari, the Republican candidate for governor of California, just recounted in The Wall Street Journal his week on the streets of Fresno posing as a homeless man looking for work. At the end of his op-ed, Kashkari lamented that he didn’t need a higher minimum wage, paid sick […] Continue reading → 
Kurt Schlichter, It’s astonishing that an ideology which such an unbroken track record of failure has adherents who are so incredibly pleased with themselves. It’s like a soda pop executive whose proudest achievement was thinking up New Coke. For the liberals who aren’t liberal solely because someone is handing them checks for plopping onto the […] Continue reading → 
John Hawkins As the late, great Eric Hoffer once said, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” So it is with feminism. There was a time in America when women couldn’t vote, when they weren’t allowed to work in the same professions as men and when […] Continue reading → 
An irate Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.S. ambassador to Israel on Friday “not to ever second-guess me again” after Hamas violated the latest cease-fire agreement just 90 minutes after it went into effect. The Israeli prime minister told President Obama and other top U.S. officials that two soldiers of the Gvati Brigade had been killed […] Continue reading → 
Michael Schaus Retired city workers in the Liberal Utopia of Detroit are being asked whether or not they want the city to exit bankruptcy, by slashing retirement pensions and cost of living adjustments. Officials are urging retirees to agree to a 4.5 percent cut in pension payouts, and an end to COLA. Unsurprisingly, some former […] Continue reading → 
Michael Schaus I don’t mean to be (entirely) dismissive… But does Sandra Fluke actually still matter to anyone? I mean, you would think that even Democrats might eventually grow tired of listening to a 30-something year old college student whine about wanting free birth-control. But, I guess you would be wrong. Sandra is at it […] Continue reading → 
We’ve all been there, right? You’re working at a big, busy office. Someone else’s mail gets dropped on your desk by accident. They don’t belong to your political Party, so naturally you target them for an IRS audit. It could happen to any of us. At any rate, it did happen to Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), […] Continue reading → 
Michael Schaus Seattle might end up having some trouble implementing their dictatorial decree that no employee is worth less than $15 per hour. The Emerald City, in some sort of utopian liberal fog, recently passed legislation raising the minimum wage… And there’s already a lawsuit pending. Seattle is being sued by the International Franchise Association, […] Continue reading → 
Derek Hunter When a kid with cookie all over his face claims he didn’t eat any cookies it’s because he knows he wasn’t supposed to be eating cookies. He’ll eventually fess up, although he may rationalize the behavior. Most adults are the same way. A president with a stain on an intern’s dress may hold […] Continue reading → 
Mike Adams Author’s Note: the following column contains offensive speech. But please keep reading. Offensive speech can be utterly hysterical. Two years ago, I wrote an article about UNCW gay activist Brice Horton. This was after he tried to ban Chick fil-A from campus (all in the name of tolerance and diversity). I satirically responded […] Continue reading → 
Former Secretary of State Hillary has an entire chapter of her upcoming book devoted to the controversial 2012 attack in Benghazi, and is deploying surrogates to defend her handling of it – perhaps the clearest signs yet that she’s planning to run for the White House in 2016. The reason: She’s dealing with this story […] Continue reading → 
Confessions of a College Professor Rants and raves about the mess of higher education in the United States. The above map, from here, really demonstrates how completely insane higher education has become. That’s a map of highest paid public employees, by state. State by state, every state, the highest paid public employee is in higher […] Continue reading → 
John Hawkins “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? […] Continue reading → 
Maryland announced it would abandon its lousy state exchange and borrow software from Connecticut, with an option to dump the whole expensive mess and revert to the federal system if that doesn’t work out. Oregon’s ObamaCare system went down in flames, an epic disaster that brought FBI agents running to search for signs of corruption […] Continue reading → 
The Republicans introduced (and passed) a bill that would require the President of the United States to enforce laws as they are written. Republican Trey Gowdy summarized the sentiment behind the bill nicely when he explained that Congress passes laws… Not suggestions. The bill is in response to the President’s most recent unilateral changes to […] Continue reading →
