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.

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 […]

Between Orlando, Atlanta, Washington DC, and my scheduled trip to Raleigh on Friday and Saturday, I’ve spent maybe three nights in my own bed.

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 […]

With all the talk of Obamacare and Syria lately, there is another issue still on the table that needs not be forgotten about: Immigration reform and the “gang of eight” bill that threatens a tremendous amount of damage to the American economy. Among the multitude of problems with the bill as a whole, Section 4211 […]
