No, this is not a joke. The Mother of All Earmarks… Liberal Representative Emanuel Cleaver has proposed a whopping $48 BILLION EARMARK that would redistribute wealth to the inner cities. Rep. CLeaver will lead the Congressional Black Caucus next year.
At Claremont McKenna, America’s best conservative liberal arts college, President Pamela Gann’s administration still hasn’t issued a statement on the views of Bassam Frangieh, its Hezbollah-and-Hamas-supporting Middle East Studies director, despite repeated requests from alumni, students, and faculty.

Despite repeated calls for a statement from alumni, from faculty members, from parents, and from students, no one in Claremont McKenna’s administration has spoken out to my Big Peace article about Professor Bassam Frangieh’s support for terrorist groups Hamas and
Of all the Wikileaks revelations, the most captivating may be learning that several Arab leaders have urged the U.S. government to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Most notoriously, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia called on Washington to “cut off the head
The announcement of election results favoring the party of president Rene Preval has given the appearance of a stolen election in Haiti and triggered several days of violence, according to the Montreal Gazette. From 2004 – Poor neighborhood in Haiti
I have not seen Dr. No since the late 80’s, and had virtually no memory of it. Having watched six new Bond films in the interim, the latest being Quantum of Solace, a return to the 60’s milieu of the
Nothing’s funnier than watching left-wing Hollywoodists whine over the fact that their precious Obama refused to raise taxes on those making over $250,000 a year — in the middle of a lingering recession that shows no signs of getting better
***UPDATE 5:44pm: This post was edited for clartity. The first thing I noticed about Aaron Sorkin’s hilariously bitter and angry HuffPo article aimed at Sarah Palin (but you knew that when I said “bitter” and “angry” ) is that in
With Obamacare likely to remain front and center in the political debate going into 2012, the GOP could find itself in a real bind attacking it if a former Pfizer lobbyist who helped push Obamacare, Maria Cino, ends up heading
I knew I was going to be whacked hard, but I didn’t know when. On Thursday, July 15th, I warned NAACP president Ben Jealous to stop the race-baiting. I directed my ire at Jealous on the Scott Hennen radio show:
The Huffington Post regularly receives criticism on this site for offenses ranging from bias to outright absurdity, but every now and we’re surprised. Take for instance blogger Lee Stranahan’s analysis of conservatives’ treatment and the fradulent claims in Pigford and

After the Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee was asked his opinion as to who was the greatest commander of the war. His response was said to have been without hesitation, “A man I have never met, sir. His
More trouble for Wikileaks: The online payment service provider PayPal has cut off the account used by WikiLeaks to collect donations, serving another blow to the organisation just as it was struggling to keep its website accessible after an American
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a complex figure, charismatic, ambitious, and “in short, a natural politician.” If we weren’t generally aware of that fact, a series of confidential cables released by Wikileaks makes it abundantly clear – and
Never before in history has a superpower lost control of such vast amounts of such sensitive information — data that can help paint a picture of the foundation upon which US foreign policy is built. Never before has the trust
Democratic Party front group Media Matters for America has published yet another attack on Republican Sarah Palin. This one a dishonest portrayal of media coverage of her recent slip of the tongue regarding the crisis on the Korean peninsula. In

In my Big Journalism piece, “How an Enviro-Advocacy Group Propped Up Global Warming in the MSM – A Nov 2 Election Connection” I described how the “reposition global warming as theory rather than fact” phrase is a viral accusation against
Former President Jimmy Carter didn’t start out bashing the media, as he often does today. In fact, prior to the election of Barack Obama, and after the media’s early-sixties love affair with all things Kennedy, it was Jimmy Carter’s turn
As Epstein told Reason in a 1995 interview, “I took some pride in the fact that [Sen.] Joe Biden (D-Del.) held a copy of Takings up to a hapless Clarence Thomas back in 1991 and said that anyone who believes
1986 might be one of the most underrated years for movies. Or it might not. Maybe I’m just nuts, but, a year in which “Top Gun,” “Back to School,” “Ruthless People,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Rad,” and “Sid and Nancy” were
It’s never pretty when a debate over charges of bigotry comes down to how many organizations with ethnic identities whose leaders have proclaimed themselves unelected spokesmen for an entire ethnicity of people have lined up on either side. In Beck
One of my favorite arguments from the left revolves around women in business and the notion that if socio-progged women don’t get their way then all women are doomed. When Democratic women weren’t doing well in primaries leftist pundits from
