Trent Franks (R-AZ), who said that “the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low.” The comment came in the context of a discussion about late-term abortion.

No one has energized them like Barack Obama. But he’s not on the ticket. So don’t take this one for granted.” by Ben Shapiro 12 Jun 2013

Los Angeles Gives Cars, iPads, Cash to Student Winners of 'Attendance Challenge'

A certificate used to be enough for students with perfect attendance at the end of the school year.

MA: Markey Stumbles On Budget Deficit: 'It's Not Math, It's Arithmetic'

Graham: 'If I Thought Censoring the Mail Was Necessary, I Would Suggest It'

On Tuesday, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) explained that he would censor Americans’ mail if the war on terror required it. “In World War II, the mentality of the public was that our whole way of life was at risk, we’re all in,” he said. “We censored the mail. When you wrote a letter overseas, it got censored. When a letter was written back from the battlefield to home, they looked at what was in the letter to make sure they were not tipping off the enemy. If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it, but I don’t think it is.” by Ben Shapiro 11 Jun 2013

President Obama Continues to Fail as CEO

President Obama is failing as CEO of the U.S government.

Cornyn Security Amendment Could Decide Immigration Bill

More than 20 Republicans joined the GOP members of the Gang of 8 to support the motion to proceed to the immigration bill. Supporting a motion to begin debate isn't the same as supporting final passage, however.

John Cornyn is drafting an amendment that could determine the fate of the Senate bill. by Mike Flynn 11 Jun 2013

GOP Supporters of Senate Immigration Deal Play Race Card on Opponents

On Tuesday, supporters of the Senate, legalization-first, immigration bill are holding a press conference call to reveal the "history" behind several prominent organizations opposing the deal. The call promises to "explore anti-Immigrant network and its nativist roots." The "conservative leaders" engaging in this leftist tactic of guilt by association and veiled charges of racism should be ashamed. That it is occurring on the same day the Senate takes its first vote on the measure suggests a hint of desperation. by Mike Flynn 11 Jun 2013

Report: DHS Halted Background Checks to Meet Flood of Amnesty Requests

In advance of his successful reelection, President Obama took executive action to defer, for two years, deportation for illegal immigrants who entered the country as children. The result was a flood of requests to the immigration service for the temporary amnesty. As a result of this demand, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, the Department of Homeland Security cut back on the legally-required criminal background checks of these immigrants. The revelation raises questions of how the agency could handle a blanket amnesty of all illegal immigrants. by Mike Flynn 11 Jun 2013

Gut Check: Evil Dreams Big

If the world is now a battlefield, then gathering communication (without reading it) seems necessary to root out those involved in ending our way of life. And, right now, only our government can do it. You might say it's too big a price to pay, but something tells me you'd change your mind if it were suddenly September 10th, 2001, and you had the option. by Greg Gutfeld 11 Jun 2013

That’s treason.” by Ben Shapiro 10 Jun 2013

The Southern Smear

The Left likes to fasten on Barry Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Act as the beginning of the GOP ascendance in the South. Ever since, the Republicans have allegedly won the region based on their implicit racism, as the de facto heirs of the segregationist George Wallace. It just isn't so. by Rich Lowry 10 Jun 2013

Federal Workforce Drops to Lowest in Five Years

According to the Inspector General for the General Services Administration, managers at the GSA helped their friends in the private sector get lucrative contracts.

Obama Approval Makes 20-Point Negative Swing in 2013

Organic supermarket chain Whole Foods is experiencing a local crisis in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a local leftist organization, ProgressNow New Mexico, is blasting the organization for supposedly prohibiting employees from speaking Spanish. ““Whole Foods Market’s commitment to organic and natural foods has made it a national leader in responsible food choice,” said ProgressNow New Mexico. “[B]ut their policies prohibiting employees from speaking their own language or organizing to overturn these anti-diversity policies directly contradict their commitment to ‘team member excellence and happiness.’” by Breitbart News 10 Jun 2013

Valedictorian's Mic Cut for God Mentions

During his valedictory speech at Joshua ISD high school in Texas, Remington Reimer was cut off. What was his great sin? Talking about God. “I’m honored to stand before you today as the Valedictorian of 2013,” he began. Then he thanked teachers, parents, classmates, and joked about this serious demeanor. It wasn’t until he began talking about religion that the administration cut his mic. “Most important,” he said, “I want to thank God for giving us the only son who went through excruciating death on a cross.” He mentioned that the administration had threatened to cut off the mic, and that he was speaking out as was his Constitutional right.

Washington & Wall Street: Jobs, Credit, and Economic Growth

Last week, a raft of economic data came out that confirms what all of us already know, namely that the US economy is growing far more slowly than before the 2008 financial crisis.

The fact is, neither politicians nor economists can or will tell the American people the truth in the wake of the great housing bust. by Christopher Whalen 10 Jun 2013
