111 companies and organizations were granted waivers by Obama’s Dept. of Health and Human Services so that they could get out of having to comply with Obamacare and unions were particularly well rewarded by the HHS with these waivers. Interestingly,

President’s Obama’s recent trip to Asia was intended to advance U.S. influence in the region, promote American exports, and create jobs at home. But the U.S. President, and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have also been working to advance

The Rally and the Speeches I do not blame Islam. Fundamentalist Muslims are just doing what it says in the book. But I do blame our politicians. There are two sides in this civilisational stand-off, and our politicians have sided

So students (a.k.a dirtbags) took to the London streets to protest the government’s plans to let colleges raise their tuition. They broke into the Conservative party’s offices, set off flares and started fires – while painting the universal symbol of

I have to say, I never thought I’d read a blogger on NRO endorse the notion that all of the money you earn belongs to the state. I certainly never thought that read it twice in a year. But here

I just got a look at part of an incendiary brochure produced by the Institute of Islamic Information and Education (Chicago, Illinois) that’s being made available to military prisoners at the US Disciplinary Barracks Prison at Fort Leavenworth. What is

I happen to like Matt Taibbi’s writing chops. Indeed, were I a member of the left-wing intelligentsia whose definition of journalism is to first come up with a thesis and then go off in search of evidence to support it

So along with Jon Stewart’s rally happening this Saturday, there will be a smaller group of people planning to march – they being young federal employees fed up with their reputations as loafers and losers. Organizers call it the “Government

There is perhaps no greater mystery than what happens to each of us after we die, and in a healthy family, perhaps no greater love than that between its members. Two new films of uncommon depth and emotional power tackle

Marxism/communism is the economic interpretation of history. The state must control sources of production and assets. Fidel began his Revolution by expropriating the sources of production and private assets in Cuba, including major US citizen’s assets. The United States retaliated

So. Is “fired up” to be the defining signature phrase of our time? The ghastly aptness that it has to many settings now may help shield President Obama from history’s judgment for his over-dependency upon it, but he’s still bandying

Last week, I reported that Oskar Freysinger, the prominent member of the Swiss People’s Party who led the successful and model campaign to ban minaret construction in Switzerland (and whom I interviewed here), had been invited to Brussels to speak

The Dilemma Trailer – Watch more Movie Trailers A gay rights organization has launched an online petition asking the producers of the Vince Vaughn film “The Dilemma” to remove a joke from the final version of the movie. “Universal will

I’ve obtained an advance copy of Radical-In-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism, Stanley Kurtz’s meticulously researched new book on our president’s socialist roots. It’s no hatchet job. It doesn’t appeal to the prejudices of the reader,

According to Nikki Finke, Universal sent a trailer of the upcoming film The Dilemma, directed by Ron Howard and starring Vince Vaughn, to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in order to get their blessing. Universal claims that

GLAAD is just one of those organizations like PETA that you can’t help but feel sorry for. Their stars are waning; their time has passed. PETA can only grab a headline if they cough up enough money for some D-lister

Michele Bachmann and her husband have taken in 23 foster children and have five kids of their own. Congresswoman Bachmann is one of Congress’ leading advocates for foster and adopted children. Until now, this had garnered her universal praise.

This Thursday, October 14, 2010, glam rocker Adam Lambert has a concert scheduled in Malaysia. However, there’s a catch: Homosexuality is a crime in Malaysia, where Muslims are in an uproar because Lambert is a poster-child for gay flamboyance. (The

No matter how famous he became, no matter how much money he earned, Tony Curtis was always Bernard Schwartz, an insecure and damaged Jewish kid from the Bronx. As the son of Hungarian-Jewish immigrants, Curtis didn’t speak English until he

Earlier today (October 2nd) the Dutch politician Geert Wilders gave a major speech in Berlin. He was invited to speak to an audience of about five hundred people, under the sponsorship of René Stadtkewitz and his new political party, Die

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

The Texas Board of Education issued a press release, Friday 9/24/10, which included a self-described “most debated item on the board’s Friday agenda”–a non-binding resolution that barely passed by a 7-6 vote, with two members absent. The resolution concludes with

Writing at The American Thinker blog, Mladen Andrijasevic worries, appropriately, that not enough attention is being paid to the Team B II report presented last week, “Shariah: The Threat to America,” by those opposed, ostensibly, to the imposition of Sharia–the

As if the $10 billion “public education bailout” wasn’t enough to stomach, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has introduced a bill, titled Education for All Act of 2010, which would spend American tax dollars on education systems around the globe.

Not a trace of 9/11 World Trade Tower hero Rick Rescorla was recovered. Homeland Security needs to analyze his special DNA for that missing link in our anti-terror attack strategy. Men with the uncanny ability – personified by Rescorla –

Hat tip to The Religion of Peace, the most comprehensive clearinghouse of jihad-related news. Although this Daily Mail investigation is largely fixated on the “animal cruelty” aspect of the story, the findings provide another disturbing example of Britain’s steady Islamization,

Shariah – the law derived from Islam’s foundational documents – defines the Islamic doctrine of the universal obligation to jihad against non-believers. The question is, What is meant by “jihad”? Is it merely a personal struggle to sacrifice for God

At the recent press conference on Team B II’s report, Shariah: The Threat to America, a reporter from UPI asked the following question: I’ve always thought Shariah was a body of Islamic religious law much like Jewish Halacha, governing peoples’

If you enjoy the halting, semi-detached, half-ironic, superior snark-enese spoken by that “endearingly off-beat” and shockingly pale woman who runs the Kubrick-ian retail store that serves as the set for those Progressive Insurance commercials, you might make it through “Easy

Few franchises have had a steeper fall than the Alien series. In 1992 Alien3 appeared to near-universal derision. James Cameron nailed the essential problem when he said, “[director David] Fincher pissed me off by killing off Newt, Hicks, and Bishop,

“The middle class is still treading water, while those aspiring to reach the middle class are doing everything they can to keep from drowning.” –President Barack Obama, 8 September 2010 Bad metaphors bring bad policies. During the Great Depression Americans

Yes, I know. This post is a few weeks late. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to see everything as soon as it comes out and only caught up with “Salt” and “Eat Pray Love” this last week. So please

Is America only for white people? The question stuck in my mind following yet another e-mail exchange with a friend of mine, regarding my conservatism. For this particular gentleman, being black in America is at odds with conservatism. As he

An editorial in Bahrain’s Gulf Daily News chides Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad essentially for being a loudmouth. The editorial quotes Ynet reports of provocative statements by Ahmadinejad — Israel is “too weak” to handle an offensive in Iran, and he
