One has to appreciate the hypocrisy of the Obama White House. They ignore the Constitution and any laws previously established, yet work to have new laws written as if we must follow their laws and not laws written by others. A perfect example is the current debate on the national debt. Written law, long established […]
Concerns over midnight border crossings are getting turned upside down, in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that compels the state of California to reduce its prison population by upward of 30,000 inmates. California officials haven’t made any decisions on how they’ll comply with the requirements, but because a goodly portion of the state’s […]
Leave it to the stalwarts of objective, nonpartisan journalism over at the Associated Press to elevate, quite literally, Barack Obama to true deity status. The One, you see, can heal. The One is “the healer-in-chief.” I guess when he’s not busy playing ping-pong and quaffing Irish brew for photo opps. Emphasis added: Obama going to […]
Glad to see that millions of dollars in taxpayer money isn’t being wasted by the National Science Foundation, where they’re handing out grants by the fistful to study critical and pressing issues like how to ride a bike, how much housework a husband creates for a wife, and when dogs became man’s best friend. Oh, […]
Even as we watch other cities and various states (including North Carolina) reduce their budgets, paring the size of government, Mecklenburg County continues its course of taxing the people more in order to pay the county bureaucrats more. There are, of course, reasons for this, none good. The primary reason is that Jennifer Roberts associates […]
As cases of disconcerting irony go, this one’s a doozie. Two days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the State of California must release roughly 33,000 inmates to alleviate overcrowding in its prisons, comes a report that California prison officials have mistakenly let loose a horde of violent offenders. This from the L.A. Times: […]
I got to watch Chris Wallace on his FOX Sunday morning show and David Gregory on “Meet The Press.” I’ll be back in church next Sunday; I can guarantee you that. Those shows are scary. Here’s what I noticed more than anything else: People currently in the White House, namely President Obama, and in Congress, […]
This is kind of a “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” question. Over the past couple of years I’ve been wondering just where is the origin of “government off the rails?” Is it a top-down problem or a bottom-up problem? Who is setting the policies that are spending the country into a $14 […]
As Big Ben winds down the second round of so-called quantitative easing, MarketWatch’s Brett Arends takes an objective look at what dumping $600 billion of phantom currency into the market has accomplished: Turns out the program has created maybe 700,000 full-time jobs — at a cost of around $850,000 each. House prices are lower than […]
What happens when a federal agency, in this case the National Labor Relations Board, throws it weight around in a blatant attempt to block a private business from doing business? Tyranny happens. That’s the take from Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who doesn’t pull any punches with his assessment of the government hatchet job and general […]
