Newly-Elected GOP Senate Majority Must Repeal 1968 Handgun Purchase Ban

With January fast approaching and the newly-Republicans in the House and Senate about to take their seats, it seems fitting to point out a frivolous and burdensome gun control law the GOP needs repeal or amend -- namely, the ban that forbids a law-abiding citizen from buying a handgun from a retailer in a state outside his or her state of residence. 6 Dec 2014, 4:01 PM PDT

Conservatives Will Never Forget the Obama Amnesty

The Republican leadership in the U.S. House decided to let the fight over President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty to slide until next year when there’s a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate to help the cause. That sounds reasonable in theory, but will it make a difference? Quite frankly, I’m worried about it. 6 Dec 2014, 7:54 AM PDT

Cheap Oil Arrives So Democrat Rep Wants to Boost Fuel Taxes

Gasoline prices are in free fall. And after last week’s OPEC decision to keep pumping oil at the same rate despite a growing international glut, they’re only going to go lower in the weeks ahead. So, naturally, at least one Democratic member of Congress wants to jack up gas taxes. 5 Dec 2014

The Nuclear Option: Media, Leftists Choose Biggest Losers for Heroes

Blue State Blues: Bring Back Trial by Drowning!

Once upon a time, the civil rights movement was deeply concerned about the rights of criminal defendants. Not anymore. Today, those who say they care most about civil rights are calling for grand jury reforms that would make it easier to indict those accused of certain, racial crimes. Yet after the Trayvon Martin case, there is no guarantee those trials would lead to convictions. So I say: let us revive a time-honored practice: trial by ordeal. 5 Dec 2014

To date, the administration of Governor Peter Shumlin (D-VT) has provided little evidence that it has exercised any accounting oversight of the $280,000 contract it signed with Gruber in July.

For 175 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor have been inspired by their faith to take care of the elderly poor.

McConnell Moves to Consolidate 'Money Majority'

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell doesn't take the reins of the Senate until January, but he is making an early move to consolidate his power.

Let us stipulate that the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner was horrific and never should never have happened. Given the shocking video evidence of a confrontation with New York City police in which officer Daniel Pantaleo is seen grabbing Garner from behind around the neck, many people on all sides of the political divide feel that a grand jury's decision not to indict Pantaleo is outrageous.
