The latest jobs report is out. President Obama has officially ‘won’ when it comes to ‘changing’ America, that is for sure. Just a few highlights (lowlights?) from the NY Times article (the flipping NEW YORK TIMES printed this) Perhaps the most striking was a plunge in the share of Americans who are either working or looking for […]
In a recent article and accompanying video produced by the Tax Policy Center, tax analyst Roberton Williams reports that 43% of Americans won’t pay federal income taxes this year. Williams, a former deputy assistant director for the Congressional Budget Office, also states that “many commentators” have twisted such statistics to suggest “that nearly half of all households […]
Here we go again. But this time around we have an interesting twist to the “Why does anyone need an AR-15?” argument. From the Daily Mail: “It emerged today that Alexis used three weapons in yesterday’s shooting: a shotgun he is believed to have brought to Navy Yard with him, and two more weapons that officers believe he […]
Vladamir Putin made some good points in his recent op-ed for the New York Times. However, those points being made by Putin added a large element of ridiculousness to the article. Putin is a proud Russian and authoritarian. He’s an ex-KGB agent who as President has armed rogue regimes around the world and waged war […]
Many of my fellow Republicans who are in the US House and Senate claim to “oppose” Obamacare, stating they have voted for several window-dressing bills to “repeal” it. Good. But when the rubber meets the road, any vote for a continuing resolution funds it. Consider the flawed arguments from these Congressmen and Senators: First, they […]
For people like me who thought President Barack Obama was not a well-qualified candidate for the highest office in the land in 2008, the ridiculousness that is our foreign policy is not surprising. Indeed, this was all very much expected. Even by Democrats. Remember that Hillary Clinton ad about the 3:00 a.m. call? The critique was spot […]
Between 2008 and 2012, 475 cases of voter fraud in North Carolina were referred for prosecution, according to a new NC Board of Elections report obtained by the Voter Integrity Project of North Carolina (after repeated requests), which undermines claims that voter fraud in North Carolina is insignificant. “This looks like an interim report, but […]
Both are deceptively misleading. Like almost all government budgeting. We swear: ‘If the US and state budgeting process was audited by some reputable private accounting firm under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), everyone would be going to jail!’ (That is presuming that every accounting firm is honest and truthful, mind you. Some of the largest […]
Americans for Prosperity, the nation’s largest free-market grassroots organization, has released in North Carolina and multiple other states the third in a series of personal testimonials that raise important questions about the negative impact ObamaCare will have on healthcare choice. The new ad features Renay, the mom of a young girl, Caleigh, whose life has been saved by four […]
As North Carolina schools crank up for another year, the de facto teachers union (NCAE) and its media lackeys continue to bash Republicans with outright lies and disinformation. One big falsehood is that the GOP-controlled General Assembly increased classroom sizes. This is yet one more example of the length to which the Raleigh educrats (education […]
