In a recent interview on MSNBC with Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wisc), NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell made a startling statement.   When directly asked by Duffy why members of the mainstream media won’t challenge top Democrats for insisting that Washington’s

Besides the terrible backlash that’s building against this administration for it’s spiteful shutdown games at parks and memorials, another building backlash is the one over cancelled insurance plans and rising premiums.   Remember it’s the fight over the ObamaCare train wreck

When liberals do not have a fresh “outrage case” to distract from their failed social policies on violent crime, they have a back up plan: scapegoating guns and the NRA.  In a previous column, I discussed how Democrats long in

On things like the deficit, ObamaCare, and many other issues, the MSM can help Obama greatly by spinning madly as he blunders around.   This often works because of the low information people who only know what they see in

In the wake of the Navy Yard shooting by yet another mentally disturbed shooter, Jay Carney states that Obama is going to use Executive Actions to expand background checks for gun show & online sales of firearms. Of course, we

It is now reported by the Washington FBI office that the Navy Yard shooter did not use an AR-15 rifle in his rampage.  The mainstream media spent all day yesterday reporting bad information on this event, including releasing the name

Yesterday, Dave Weigel at Slate spun the San Diego Mayor Bob Filner sexual harassment story by saying Filner only groped women in San Diego, never in Washington DC.  Now that thirteen women have come forward, revealing physical groping or verbal

The advancement of the black community in America stalled and has actually regressed ever since Democrats took that community under their wing in the 1960’s.   As the decades have passed, it’s become apparent Democratic social policies are not advancing

The recent trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell has led to a wave of new laws at the state level aimed at abortion. The sheer horror of what was uncovered in Gosnell’s clinic has caused plenty of legislators to take

During his recent trip to Africa, President Barack Obama made an illuminating statement that reveals how progressives view the poor in underdeveloped parts of the world.   Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy let a key detail slip out during an interview with the the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd that appeared on April 13th.  In her column, Dowd recounts Murphy saying this:  Wonder how the Newton families ended up

As huge protests against the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government in Egypt have gone on for several days, the crowds have now swelled to an estimated 17,000,000.  That’s ‘Seventeen Million’, for those of you in Rio Linda.   If true, these reports

Obama continues his habit of appointing radicals with extreme views to positions of power and influence despite their lack of qualifications and a track record of incompetence and radicalism. Susan Rice’s appointment as National Security Adviser is just the latest

One of the common traits of “progressive” social policy–especially since the radicals took over the Democratic Party in the 1960’s–has been the penchant for slapping a fresh coat of paint onto previously failed social policies and trotting them out again

“Only racists cite that fact or make this argument. You’re not a RACIST, are you?” Ever had a liberal tell you that? I have, many times.  What are they telling you when they say this? Here’s my summation of their thinking:  “That

We all know evidence is mounting of ObamaCare’s massive failures.  None of the promises used to sell this huge new social policy are being borne out by the results we are seeing.   It was claimed ObamaCare would bend the

If you’ve followed American politics long enough, you’ve noticed a pattern that inevitably plays out with failed social policy.  Thomas Sowell discusses this pattern in his excellent book ‘Vision of the Anointed’ (1995 Harper Collins).  The second chapter is entitled

Big Journalism’s Larry O’Connor had an excellent article the other day on MSNBC’s dismal ratings for the month of May.  You can read that here. It’s no secret that the more Leftward the MSM gets, the more they suffer declining

The biggest problem for Liberals in these current growing Obama scandals is they have been robbed of their usual favorite defense/justification of Obama:  “Bush did it too!” Perhaps you’ve seen this yourself over the past 4 1/2 years. The Obama

Some real news came out of the release of the Inspector General’s report on the IRS abuse, and from the Congressional hearings this week.  The Obama administration lied when it claimed it had no idea the IRS was targeting Conservative
