By Amy Payne ~ Tweet this Where do food stamps come from? They come from taxpayers—certainly not from family farms. Yet the “farm” bill, a recurring subsidy-fest in Congress, is actually 80 percent food stamps and other government nutrition programs. The food stamps sweeten the farm deal for lawmakers, who admit that the combination works […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Washington Post reported on Tuesday’s front page that their ABC-Post poll showed Obama’s approval rating remained steady, with 51 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving. Then came the Post polling comparison to uncaring Republicans. Dan Balz and Jon Cohen reported: “A bare majority of Americans say they believe that Obama […]

By Tom McLaughlin ~ Somebody in our high command let two former Navy SEALs die fighting off 80 radical Muslims. They fought bravely for seven hours and they could have been saved, but someone made a political decision that they should be left to die. Was that our commander-in-chief? Looks to me that it was, […]
The Patriot Post ~ The Foundation “The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.” –James Madison Government “It turns out that Sarah Hall Ingram, who served as head of the IRS office handling tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012 — when the […]
By Noel Sheppard ~ By virtually any measure, with three scandals exploding on the White House, last week had to be the worst of Barack Obama’s presidency. Despite this, CNN – the self-described most trusted name in news – released a poll Sunday finding the current White House resident’s job approval rose two points since […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 Alan Caruba ~ The resistance to Obamacare is writing a new chapter in U.S. history. It may well become the most unpopular law since Prohibition became an Amendment to the Constitution in 1919. By 1933, another Amendment repealed it. Obamacare passed by a straight Democratic party vote on Christmas Eve in 2009. No Republican […]
By Jessica Zuckerman ~ On April 17, a West Texas fertilizer plant exploded, leaving 14 dead and approximately 200 injured. Investigators continue to look into exactly what caused the explosion that left an estimated $100 million in damages in its wake.
