If desert tortoises are endangered, then why are they being euthanized?

By Lawrence Sellin Ph.D. ~ Ambrose Bierce, a 19th century political satirist, once described Washington D.C. as: “a strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles and the conduct of public affairs for private advantage.” Today few American institutions remain untouched by political malfeasance. The United States is heading for a financial meltdown. Projected […]

[…]
By Ken McIntyre ~ Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has resigned, nine days after President Obama trumpeted the news that 7.1 million Americans had signed up for Obamacare by the first deadline despite a near-calamitous rollout of the health care law under her leadership. Some White House watchers noted at the time that […]
By Alan Caruba ~ It was a Founder and our second President, John Adams, who said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” He was right and I am sure he would be appalled to know that the Constitution has since […]
By Michelle Malkin ~ I have created a new species designation for female Democrats who play hypocritical gender politics on behalf of Barack Obama. They’re genderhawks. You remember the term “chickenhawk,” don’t you? During the Bush years, anti-war activists and journalists hurled the ad hominem epithet at anyone who supported military action against our enemies […]
By Tom Blumer ~ I suspect that many readers who do their best to keep up with the news at a detailed level have a hard time understanding how many of their friends, acquaintances and neighbors — even many who they know put some effort into keeping up with current events — can be so […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ This short video shows the former Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard (Labor Party) speaking about the introduction of the most contentious policy her Government introduced, the Carbon (Dioxide) Tax…..TonyfromOz. Australia’s Labor Party leaders still can’t admit it’s their own stupidity — not their union mates — that’s killing them. Instead, […]
Surely NOT the ones listed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee! By Marita Noon ~ Recently the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sent out a “2014 Priority Issues Survey.” In addition to the obligatory Tea Party bashing: “help the Democrats protect the progress we have made from Tea Party radicals, deliver the positive changes America […]
By Alan Caruba ~ I am going to draw on decades of having been a public relations counselor to corporations and other organizations for some thoughts about the resignation of Mozilla’s cofounder, Brendan Eich, after his donation to support a California proposition banning gay marriage eight years ago became an issue for the company less […]
By Alan Caruba ~ In the April 1 edition of The Wall Street Journal, an editorial took note of President Obama’s announcement the previous day that sign-ups for Obamacare had passed seven million. “Suddenly ObamaCare is a roaring success, happy days are here again and liberals are euphoric, or claim to be. There are more […]
By Star Parker ~ Liberal code word for ‘racist’: someone like Paul Ryan, who wants to make Americans better off by giving them freedom, choice, responsibility, and less government. When Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif, (pictured at right) went off on Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis, for his remarks that “We have got a tailspin of culture, […]
By William R. Hawkins ~ Last Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden quoted Theodore Roosevelt out of context while delivering the keynote address at a meeting of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Biden was pushing the Obama Administration’s desire to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants by citing the alleged views of a great […]
By Alan Caruba ~ We all know that the “sanctions” Obama has placed on a few of Putin’s pals thus far and those Obama wants the European Union to impose will have no affect whatever on Putin’s decision to annex the Crimea from Ukraine. One of Obama’s solutions to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty includes giving it […]
By Alan Caruba ~ If you type in “Obamacare” on Wikipedia you will discover 25,500,000 links. That’s a lot of news coverage and related commentary about the Affordable Care Act.

By Tom McLaughlin ~ Hey! All you progressive Democrats out there? Whatever you’ve been doing to prevent global warming? Cut it out! Now! Hear me? It’s spring for cripe sakes.

By Michelle Malkin ~ Has Nancy Pelosi seen a newspaper lately? (Pro tip, hon: As with the Obamacare monstrosity, you have to read it to find out what’s in it.) I’d love to see her face in the wake of the veritable epidemic of Democratic corruption now sweeping the country. Pelosi’s blink count must be off the charts. […]
By James Carafano Ph.D.~ President Obama ended a quick trip through Europe with a “CBS Evening News” interview in Rome, where he shared his latest thinking on the ongoing crisis in Crimea. It was one of the poorest performances by a world statesman since Neville Chamberlain’s press comments after returning from Munich in 1938. Obama’s […]
