By Alan Caruba ~ Among the greatest liars on Earth today is the international organization called Friends of the Earth (FOE). It has engaged in the most scurrilous fear-mongering for decades, along with Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the World Wildlife Fund, while all the time they pulled in billions in funding. In May 2012, the Daily Caller […]
By Tim Graham ~ By Friday, as the Obama promoters within the network news divisions started spreading the president’s word that three growing scandals are just a blip, they might point to Gallup’s daily job-approval ratings for Obama, which remained at 49 percent approve, 45 percent disapprove. This result might also reflect that Gallup found […]
By Michelle Malkin ~ On Sept. 12, 2012, President Barack Obama vowed to “bring to justice” the perpetrators of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya. On Oct. 26, 2012, Obama said his “biggest priority” was bringing the “folks” in Libya responsible for murdering four Americans to “justice.” Tick, tock, tick, tock. While White House press […]
By Alan Caruba ~ All through George W. Bush’s two terms, the Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and others claimed that they represented “a culture of corruption” and yet I cannot recall any significant examples, nor does a look back at those years reveal any scandals resulting from his administration’s governance. It was not perfect, […]
By Christopher Adamo ~ In a sane world, Barack Obama would already be facing the prospect of impeachment over his mishandling and subsequent cover-up of the Benghazi fiasco. But in a sane world, an inconsequential Illinois State Senator who overwhelmingly voted “present” in order to duck hard issues and who then served only a matter […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Kevin Rudd declares in 2007: Climate change is the great moral challenge of our generation. Today: Australia has all but dumped $75 million of projects regrowing forests in the developing world and shelved a $100 million forest carbon partnership between Indonesia and Australia… Australia’s contribution to global environment programs will plummet […]
The Patriot Post ~ “If the federal government should … make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people … must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.” –Alexander Hamilton It was a bad week for […]
By Alan Caruba ~ How is it that, time and again, the most powerful man on the planet doesn’t seem to have a clue what is happening in his own government? Famed for never accepting blame for anything, the more I see President Obama these days, the more I am reminded of Sergeant Hans Schultz […]
By Michelle Malkin ~ It’s always the “low-level” peon’s fault, isn’t it? When Democrats get caught red-handed abusing government powers and bullying their political enemies small and large, nobody at the top knows nuttin’. The buck stops … in the janitors closet or something. Here’s what I know: While they pretend to champion privacy rights, […]
A Dry Bones Cartoon ~ According to USA Today: With IRS, Benghazi and AP, is Obama under siege? 6:34 p.m. EDT May 13, 2013 WASHINGTON— “President Obama found himself in the unusual position on Monday of echoing GOP outrage over revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted Tea Party groups, while slamming his adversaries for […]
The Patriot Post — IRS Target of Opportunity By Mark Alexander “Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants.” –Alexander Hamilton (1787) As the first conservative digest of news, policy and opinion on […]
By Alan Caruba ~ It is fair to say that the nation is as divided today as it was in the decades leading up to the Civil War that came about by the decision to secede and thereby destroy the Union. The seeds of that decision were planted in the Constitution because of the compromises […]
By Helle Dale ~ President Obama’s aggressive response to legitimate questions about Benghazi at his news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron—calling these important investigations a “sideshow” and a “political circus”—exposed an Administration with little substantive argument on its side. U.S. foreign policy is in shambles, and the Obama Doctrine lies at the heart […]
The Patriot Post ~ The Foundation “All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.” –James Madison Editorial Exegesis “President Obama famously joked in a college commencement address in 2009 that he could use the IRS to target political enemies but of course he never would. It appears that people at the Internal […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Usually there are signs a dam is about to burst. Tiny cracks show up, the structure makes strange noises, and then, whoosh! That’s what we are witnessing as the President, the former Secretary of State, and the Attorney General struggle to keep the bulwark of lies and half-truths they have built […]
By Helle Dale ~ President Obama yesterday dismissed the House investigations into the Benghazi debacle as a political “side show.” In a news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the President complained testily that nothing new had been uncovered in last week’s hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “The whole issue […]
Topics in today’s show: – C-Span and Fox News broadcast hours of the Benghazi hearings last week, while the other major Networks virtually ignored it. – Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnells has been found guilty of the murder of babies born alive following abortions. – The head of the Associated Press is furious that the […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Last night, Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan delivered his sixth Budget for Australia. With this Labor Government so out of favour with the voting public, and standing so low in the Polls, this could prove to be his last Budget, with the Federal Election looming in September. It was not a typical […]

By Alan Caruba ~ The famed Boston Tea Party was a protest against “taxation without representation”, but our pockets are picked every day by a plethora of taxes of which most Americans are not even aware. We get robbed when the federal government thwarts exploration and extraction of energy resources that would greatly reduce those […]
By Nicolas Loris ~ Slapping the word rural in front of a bunch of green subsidies does not mean they’re not subsidies. But that’s exactly what the Rural Energy Investment Act section of the Senate version of the farm bill legislation does. The legislation includes direct handouts and loan guarantees for advanced biofuels and bio-refineries, […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Tonight, the Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan hands down the Budget for Australia. This is an election year, and every Budget handed down during an election year has huge amounts of money in give aways to bribe lure the voting public into supporting them. This year however, the cupboard is bare, and […]
By Christopher Adamo ~ Last Friday, Barack Obama spoke to an approving crowd of young Mexicans at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. As is his way, seeing an opportunity to demean this nation in front of dispassionate foreigners, he eagerly seized upon it. Between his profuse juxtapositions of cause and effect, his […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Arts section of Sunday’s Washington Post was dominated by articles analyzing the cultural importance of the Ballet Russes and its role in European modernism. For Post dance critic Sarah Kaufman, (pictured) it represented “The ascent of men, the haven for gays.” This ballet troupe was a “tremendous force in modern […]
