Out of President Obama’s sequestration doomsday predictions, the one which best encapsulates what famed Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward described as “madness” involves illegal immigration. And it is no laughing matter. As Fox News reported, a few hundred illegal immigrant
It’s almost impossible for me to believe that it’s been a year since we lost Andrew Breitbart. He was a conservative leader, larger-than-life personality, a husband, a father of young children, and a dear friend of mine for over 15
What we saw this week were the same old scare tactics by President Obama, using the power of his office to instill fear in the American public with regards to the sequester. Standing in front of a group of first
