‘El Chapo’ and Extradition to U.S.A

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto took to Twitter today to make one of the biggest announcements of his presidency—the most wanted man in the Western Hemisphere, drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, had been recaptured seven months after escaping from a Mexican maximum security prison.

Pro-Life Leaders Protest as Obama Vetoes GOP Bill To Repeal Obamacare, Defund Planned Parenthood

“President Obama’s gall is stunning,” said Rep. Diane Black, author of the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, in a statement. “He spent this week discussing the need to ‘protect innocent people’ and ‘save more lives’ yet he callously vetoed a bill to protect the most innocent and vulnerable among us from the heinous abuses of Planned Parenthood.”

President Barack Obama, center, listens to a question from Taya Kyle, left standing, widow of US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, during a CNN televised town hall meeting hosted by Anderson Cooper, right, at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Thursday, Jan. 7, 2016. Obama's proposals to tighten gun controls rules may not accomplish his goal of keeping guns out of the hands of would-be criminals and those who aren't legally allowed to buy a weapon.

Obama’s Gun Control Agenda Is the Opposite of ‘Common Sense’

“Common sense” rhetoric is popular on both sides of the political divide. It’s not as if Barack Obama invented the trope, but he might be the worst abuser currently performing on the political stage… especially because he uses “common sense” in the Orwellian understanding of the term.

Virginia GOP Loyalty Pledge Will Strengthen Donald Trump, Not Weaken Him

Virginia’s Republican party has not required a loyalty pledge in the three previous presidential primaries. Why now? There is only one reasonable conclusion: the loyalty pledge is a thinly veiled attempt to stem the coming tidal wave of new voters in Virginia’s Republican primary that Donald Trump’s candidacy is almost certain to bring about.

Cruz is Natural Born, Illegal Aliens are Not

Sen. John McCain recently cast doubt over whether Ted Cruz is enough of a natural-born citizen to meet the qualifications to become president under U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 5. Contrasting to his birth on a U.S. Military base in Panama, he said, “[T]hat’s different from being born on foreign soil, so I think there is a question. I am not a Constitutional scholar on that, but I think it’s worth looking into.”

Wages Fall Although Economy Adds 292k Jobs in December

The unemployment rate remained at 5 percent, even as the Labor Department revised up its estimates for job growth in October and November. The worrying detail in an otherwise good report, however, was wages. Not only did wages fail to rise by the amount expected, they actually fell in December.
