The obesity report card lectured that because our daughter’s body-mass […]

May 31, 2014 by
How many have to die before people recognize Barack Obama for what he is, an incompetent ideologue, in way over his head?

President Obama’s announcement that he has accepted VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s resignation did not come as a shock to many of us, and neither did the shameless and revisionist nature of his statement.

Obama speech “ludicrous … uninspiring … disturbing”
May 29, 2014 by
Actually, all of those adjectives come from the New York Times — and that’s the most sympathetic take on Barack Obama’s big pivot/comeback speech on foreign policy.

How the Media Distorts Radical Islam’s Record
May 28, 2014 by
We have all suffered the glaring omissions, false moral equivalencies, and unfair and unbalanced reporting in the formerly distinguished mainstream media venues.

How Hillary’s Chinese baggage could see the light of day
May 27, 2014 by
Hillary Clinton remains the presumptive Democrat nominee for president on 2016, and if polls are to be believed, has an excellent chance of being elected.
