In what can be viewed as an alarming and further blurring of the lines between the Mexican government and Mexico’s highly violent drug cartels, Julio Cesar Godoy Toscano, who had been actively (exactly how “actively” is debatable) sought on drug
It’s déjà vu all over again. In the early fall of 1992, George H.W. Bush was running for reelection, the economy was in recession and the Democrats had the incumbent president on the ropes. Bush was, they said, out of
A terrific video produced by Ben Howe over at RedState is a great reminder that November is coming–and why this midterm election is so critical in solidifying America’s future path. The video speaks for itself, but I’d like to stress

George Soros is the source of the dirty money behind the front group to destroy Israel, J Street, as J Street executive director Jeremy Ben Ami has finally admitted to the media, after lying about it since the group’s founding:
There’s a wise old saying about “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” But perhaps we need a new saying along the lines of “don’t subsidize the foot that kicks you.” Here’s a good example: American taxpayers finance the biggest
One must be careful not to draw exact parallels between a historical event and a current situation, at least not without sufficient evidence. I want to be cautious. However, as I was teaching a class on the Civil War era
For-profit education is under assault from elitists who hate the idea of free market educational institutions. It is also under attack from bureaucrats at the U.S. Department of Education who are trying to make it hard for students to arm
We knew that Congress was fundamentally unserious, but we had no idea it was this unserious: [youtube YsvclalwR7k nolink] Unbelievable. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, who invited the fake “conservative” “journalist,” should be ashamed of herself. Meanwhile… News of real importance was

Citing massive irregularities and gross taxpayer funding abuses, federal investigators are recommending that government funding for ACORN’s still operating housing affiliate be cut off immediately. Investigators must have felt it was necessary to urge the funding cutoff because the federal
With less than six weeks to go before the mid-term elections, the MSM is now trying to generate sympathy and fear among a targeted electorate hoping it will allow President Obama and the Democrats to retain power in the Senate.
The Obama-Pelosi Regime took control of one-sixth of the nation’s economy when they passed their nationalized health care bill and signed it into law in late March. The bill was never popular but Democrats persisted and rammed the bill through
When the Congress passed the Public School Bailout, it was akin to slapping a band-aid on a bleeding head wound. American public school systems spend somewhere around a half-trillion dollars a year, and another $10 billion is going to make
