To say the federal government is growing out of control is simply an understatement. The fact is no other presidential administration in America’s history has racked up more debt than the current spender-in-chief. Even George W. Bush’s spending was “limited” to just over $1 billion a day, as compared to Barack Obama’s current and egregiously […]
Team BO has finally found a way to create new jobs; in this case, it’s a veritable army of new government bureaucrats. Unfortunately, and wholly unsurprising, it will come at the cost of increased regulation that is almost certain to kill business and, by extension, actual, private-sector job creation: The Environmental Protection Agency has said […]

As Social Security is considered the third rail of national politics, Ron Paul is the third rail of the Republican Party. Paul’s detractors are vehement in dismissing the Texas representative as the party’s loose nut. Contrarily, Paul’s supporters are dedicated to crowning him the savior of the GOP and the United States overall. If Paul […]
This has to rank as one of the more jarring political couplings of the year: Ron Paul and …. Barry Manilow? This from the Daily Caller: Grammy award-winning musician Barry Manilow told The Daily Caller that he agrees with “just about everything” 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rep.

Indeed, during his tenure at the helm, former Superintendent Peter Gorman at times seemed on an almost Ahabian quest to land […]
A new, potentially, game-changing factor has crept into the GOP presidential race. It used to be enough to win the pro-life caucus goers and primary voters to be for overturning Roe. That may be about to change. If it does, all bets on whether Mitt Romney and Rick Perry will remain front-runners are off. Why […]

That was the case on Monday, when U.S. Transportation […]
