The Obama Administration wants to eliminate jobs and make more people dependent on the government. There simply isn’t any other way to put it. They have turned their sites on for-profit, non-traditional colleges, like trade schools and continuing-ed programs for
A story by the Omaha World-Herald today could spell deeper trouble for the mysterious naval officer who produced a fake memo at the request of U.S. Senate candidate and former Navy pilot Shane Osborn. The World-Herald reported that television station KETV
Forgive me, Convo readers, for another post linking to my book, Finding Mr. Righteous. This time I have a point, I promise. The point is that Mike Rowe is right about nearly everything. He’s right about skilled trades. He’s right
Dana Perino has a great opinion piece on FoxNews.com today about San Diego congressional candidate Carl DeMaio. For instance, DeMaio has been the target of homophobic attacks. But where are those attacks coming from? It’s not always from the
Like S.E. Cupp, I am also an NRA member and I couldn’t be more proud of the way she’s stood up for gun owners and the 2nd Amendment. On ABC’s This Week, she said “Mayors Against Illegal Guns has crumbled
A few weeks ago I was at an event at my hair salon and I had the opportunity to talk to a local jewelry designer. Like many Americans, she doesn’t pay attention to politics every day. She had recently seen
This week I was on Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld for the first time. It’s been a dream of mine ever since I watched it for the first time. Red Eye is the reason I got DVR. I have the
Next on my reading list is Charles Murray’s The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Getting Ahead. On the tips for transitioning from college to the working world, he writes: I’m thinking especially of tip No. 1, “Don’t suck up.” How can I

Following plaintiff Shaun McCutcheon’s victory in the campaign finance reform case, several conservatives have hailed him as a hero. Certainly, he was on the right side of the issue of campaign donation limits, but like many he still doesn’t get
Over the weekend I saw this video at BuzzFeed of “Facts That Will Restore Your Faith in America.” In the section titled “Progress,” the video boasts that “Less than half of the population believes the U.S.A. is better than everyone.
America is great because of Americans, not because of government. Government sucks because they don’t listen to Americans. Example 8,435, 234: It all started as a science fair project. As a neophyte sixth-grader at Dorseyville Middle School, Suvir noticed he
For months now I’ve been shouting Greg Gutfeld’s sentiments on paying Detroit’s creditors and pensioners — “Sell the damn art!” Next month the city’s emergency city manager, Kevyn Orr, will present yet another plan on digging Detriot out of its
It’s fitting that the only place you’ll find this exclusive excerpt of my new book, Finding Mr. Righteous, is on Breitbart.com. Below is an excerpt where I describe one of the many times when Andrew Breitbart inspired a conservative to break
I saw God’s Not Dead this morning. Given that it’s a Christian movie and is being promoted by churches across the country, it’s no surprise that the movie has a message. I happen to agree with the message, but I
I love all the promotion for Greg Gutfeld’s new book Not Cool because it means more Greg Gutfeld. Everywhere! In a recent interview with The Blaze, Gutfeld talked about his views on religion as a non-religious person. Gutfeld: Well you
Over the weekend, I gleefully read and shared this Blaze article about Michael Luo, a proud Christian reporter at the New York Times. Michael Luo, a deputy metropolitan editor at the New York Times, is a Bible-believing Christian who has
I’ve had my eye on Detroit’s bankruptcy proceedings because it is indicative of what’s to come for a lot of cities. How Detroit deals with its bankruptcy could also set a precedent for other cities forced to deal with the
I really did not intend to write anything negative about CPAC this year. They were gracious enough to invite me to do a book signing. It had a great turn-out and the book was sold out at the CPAC bookstore!

An attack on brunch? As a New York Times headline should say, “Women and gay men hardest hit.” No wonder they didn’t announce this before the mayoral election. From The Foundry: The NYC Hospitality Alliance sent out an alert
One of the recurring themes in the Leftist playbook is using government regulations and handouts to pick and choose winners in business. The latest solar energy boondoggle is SolarCity. Watchdog.org highlights one customer’s horror story in dealing with SolarCity: [I]n
The 2014 elections are fast-approaching. Every day Americans are getting health care policy cancellation notices, coping with unemployment or underemployment, and getting fed up with an Administration that’s outright hostile to its citizens. The Left is desperate to hold on
A recent study found that for couples who communicated by text for things like apologies, disagreements and decision-making, the women reported less satisfaction in their relationship. For men who reported less satisfaction in their relationship it was because of too

Nanny-staters are always in search of a “problem” they can manipulate for their own goals. Government bureaucrats want to be the former British Empire. They don’t want the sun to go down on any area where they can’t control. Every
When I moved to DC in 1999 for my first job in the conservative movement I didn’t think much about finding a boyfriend or husband. I was 21 and just out of college. I was ready to work. But at
I really miss having Thad McCotter in D.C. I suspect he doesn’t miss it all. Today he offers wisdom on Obamacare’s ‘liberation economics’ shuffle. As is their wont, in an Orwellian twist the Left claims the projected 2.3 million jobs
Fellow conservatives, I beg you. Stop going down these ridiculous rabbit holes the Left wants us to engage on. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on regarding the Coke ad. We’re still playing by their rules. Now instead of talking

Underemployment isn’t a new phenomenon. However, The Atlantic talks about what’s different this time. Using Census data, the bank [of New York]’s researchers found that, through 2012, roughly 44 percent of working, young college graduates were “underemployed,” meaning they were in
