By Alan Caruba ~ One of the goals of Communism is to “Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy”. It comes as no surprise that, during a CBS interview in February, President Obama supported having the Boy Scouts of America open its membership to gays and, presumably, those who lead scout troops […]
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 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, […]
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 […]
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 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 Nancy Salvato ~ As a child, I really enjoyed candy and gum. Admittedly, I occasionally wax nostalgic about Marathon Bars, Bub’s Daddy Green Apple bubble gum, Regal Crown Sours, Swiss Colony Whiskey Sours, and Red Hot Dollars. Sadly, these products are no longer available – even in specialty stores. And this is not only […]
By Alan Caruba ~ I could barely keep myself from falling asleep during President Obama’s Tuesday press conference. Rush Limbaugh led off his program describing it as “boring” and the answers to questions as “boilerplate.” I cannot recall a press conference that yielded less “news”. In her weekly Wall Street Journal column Peggy Noonan wrote […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Listening to President Obama respond after a terrorist attack takes the lives of innocent Americans is like being trapped in an echo chamber. The words all sound too familiar. This is what he initially said after the Boston Marathon bombings. “We still do not know who did this, or why, and […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Usually a President is deemed a lame duck when he is in the final two years of a second term or has lost the support of his party in his first, losing political leverage for his agenda, but Obama has managed to render himself a lame duck barely three months into […]
By Marlin Thompson ~ The centerpieces of President Obama’s initiative to lower gun violence are in danger of stalling in Congress. No legislation has been introduced to expand background checks and a proposal for a ban on so-called assault weapons will be introduced that will probably be defeated. Gun control proponents were frustrated when Vice […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Like everyone else I get up each day and do my best to make sense of my life. I turn on “Fox and Friends” while I pour a cup of my morning coffee. I give a quick read to The Wall Street Journal’s editorials and scan the news until later in […]
By Alan Caruba ~ There is so much to repair in America that I cannot criticize those who despair that we shall ever return to the glory days when we were a respected superpower in the world. We were not perfect then, but we acted from the right motivation, our devotion to freedom and its […]
By Michelle Malkin ~ The Beltway is buzzing over President Obama’s likely nomination of Thomas E. Perez (pictured) as the next head of the U.S. Department of Labor. But when Americans find out whom Perez has lobbied for most aggressively over the course of his extremist leftwing social justice career, they’ll be wondering which country […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Having taken the fall for President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the wake of the Benghazi scandal, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice is poised to make her way up the career ladder as the “top contender” for the position of national security adviser to […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Anyone, any city, and any governing body that passes laws to ban what you eat and drink has not read the U.S. Constitution. There is nothing in there granting them the power to decide what you eat and how much. Indeed, if you think about it, the Constitution was written to […]
By Star Parker ~ In April 2007, a mentally disturbed student showed up at the campus of his school, Virginia Tech, brandishing two semi-automatic pistols, and murdered 32 students, teachers and school employees and wounded 17 others. Then he took his own life. It was one of the deadliest mass shooting incidents in American history. […]
By Alan Caruba ~ When President Obama said, “I’m not a dictator” on the day the sequester was activated, March 1st, he should have finished the sentence, “but I intend to be one.” Obama has never treated the office of the presidency as his predecessors did. They knew it was a temporary job, based on […]
By Frank Salvato ~ Back in February of 2012 – in what seems like a political eternity ago, I dared to broach the subject of honesty in American politics. Being equally disgruntled with the establishment Republicans, as was I (and still am) with the entirety of the Left side of the aisle, I provided instance […]
By Peter Brookes ~ You can only imagine how President Obama’s speechwriters must have been scrambling to reconcile their boss’ expected big pitch on new nuclear-disarmament initiatives and the North Korean nuclear test the day before the State of the Union address. The test was not exactly what Team Obama or his supporters in the […]
