‘Clinton Cash’ Exposes the Clintons’ Past – and the Obamas’ Future

No doubt, you’ve seen the documentary or read Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash. The latest edition, Clinton Cash: A Graphic Novel (Yes, it’s all still true.), should be the final nail in the Clintons’ overflowing coffin of corruption. The book brought the evidence, and the movie has been watched more than two million times. The graphic novel, now available at Amazon and other retailers, brings the story of corruption to life by delving into the Clintons’ systematic and lucrative schemes with fantastic art and a huge dose of humor.

Female Comedy Icon to Lena Dunham: I’m Not a Feminist’

Hollywood should take note. We have enough movies and TV shows about the lives of vapid, self-important millennials like Lena Dunham. Give us more on the inspiring women like Adoram who came before them and don’t subscribe to the victimhood worldview.

Trump Helping Women and Gays Escape from the Democratic Plantation

Following the terrorist attack at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, there has been a lot of discussion about the LGBT community and radical Islam. Unfortunately, it’s a conversation that’s only happening on the right, as Democrats are still talking about banning guns.

Michelle Obama’s Father’s Day Message: ‘Be Better’

Despite what you’re seeing on every cable network, on the cover of every newspaper, and as the lead story on every website, the White House has an important message for women and it isn’t about terrorism and radical Islam. It’s about “gender inequality” in America.

Gwyneth Paltrow and the Fear-Based Women’s Media

Spin Sisters gives readers an insider’s view (similar to Bernie Goldberg, author of the liberal media exposé Bias) of the “members of the female media elite, a Girls’ Club of editors, producers, print and television journalists with similar attitudes and opinions who influence the way millions of American women think and feel about their lives, their world, and themselves.”

Four Lessons from Milo Yiannopoulos on Dealing with the Left

Last week I had the chance to talk to Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos on the Political Punks Podcast. My cohost, artist Brett Smith, and I have a bit of a Milo-obsession. Brett started following Milo’s writing after reading his Sexodus series.

Millennials: The Curated Generation

A few weeks ago I accidentally found myself surrounded by millennial college students. I was walking by the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. after the Georgetown vs. UNC-Wilmington basketball game when I overheard a group of millennials talking.

I love to read books, but I really love to give books. They’re easy to wrap. They’re usually under $20. And they can be shared and reread for years to come. Here are some books that are worth getting for friends, family and yourself this Christmas.

Preview of Tonight’s Democratic Debate

At the last Democratic debate, only one candidate, Sen. Jim Webb, named an enemy who is not an American company or organization. Less than a week later, Sen. Webb dropped out of the race. So that answers the question of how long dissenters last in the Democratic party.

A ‘Modern Man’ vs. a ‘Man’s Man’

Recently the New York Times featured an article on what makes a modern man. Predictably, there was a lot to make fun of in the article. National Review took one of the first cracks at addressing each point.

The Movies That Define Each Generation

I recently started a podcast called Political Punks. The idea was born from this column I wrote for Breitbart.com several months ago.

In Defense of a Gawker Media Writer (No, Really!)

I follow Erin Ryan on Twitter and I’m pretty familiar with her sense of humor. I also did a great interview with her before CPAC this year. She saw fit to give a Breitbart contributor and former CPAC Director nearly 2,000 words to talk about the conservative movement on Jezebel. How bad can she be?

Lessons from Comic Con: All Politics is Loki

It’s not enough to be at the conservative conferences (and I say that as the former director of CPAC). I’m not talking about setting up shop at a Comic-Con with a bunch of [Candidate Name] 2016 buttons and GOP tchotchkes. I’m talking about letting them know we’re willing to engage.

The Good, The Bad, and The Beta Male

Last year a Salon article titled, “In praise of the ‘beta males,’” made the rounds and we all rolled our eyes. The author wrote:

Media Hysteria and Herbal Hypocrisy

The way the media throw around accusations of sexism you’d think it was an epidemic. Perhaps it is because the biggest perpetrators of sexism are the media.

Rebels and Political Punks at Comicon

In February I wrote about political punks – who actually have cultural credibility. They appreciate mainstream culture for the power of the parable in furthering a message of liberty.

Comicon and the Mythical War on Women

As I mentioned in a recent article, I was interested in attending Comicon because from the outside I saw some interesting similarities and differences. This piece is about one similarity in particular: how the media portrays Comicon and the Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) relationship with women.

Former CPAC Director Does Comicon

From 2006 to 2011, I was the Director of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). CPAC is often been described as being like the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Five Dating Lessons From ‘Mad Men’

As Mad Men begins to wrap-up with only three episodes left in the series, I’ve been watching every episode twice. A few weeks ago a line Peggy Olson said struck me as totally out of sync with today’s times.

State Leaders Need Their Rebel Base

During the midterm elections, conservatives ushered in a new crop of Republican representatives, senators, governors, and state legislators. Most of the winners promised to cut the size and scope of government. While we still have many obstacles on the federal level, there are real examples on the state level of cutting government waste.

In Defense of Donald Trump at CPAC

A few weeks ago, I wrote about “political punks”–people like Andrew Breitbart, Greg Gutfeld, Clint Eastwood, Ann Coulter, and Gavin McInnis, who buck the cultural left and political right. Of course, there are several people I neglected to list in the column, as many commenters reminded me. (Hi, Sabo fans!)
