Jed Babbin has the top story at Human Events today. Yes, George W. Bush spent too much and proved redundantly that the term “big government conservative” is an oxymoron. And yes, when Bush left office our economy was in trouble. But how long will Obama claim that the only way for our economy to recover is to continue a spending spree that will leave us | Read More »
We’re going to be hearing a lot about this race. It’s Human Events’ top story today. Those who believe only Democratic incumbents are at risk in the 2010 election need look no further than Arizona. Republican Sen. John McCain, the man who might have been president, suddenly appears vulnerable in his bid for a fourth term. A recent statewide poll conducted in January by the | Read More »
Here’s today’s top story at Human Events. Despite President Obama’s feigned concern about sky high federal spending, escalating budget deficits and mounting government debt, all three are expected to grow much worse under his new budget proposals. Overall spending will be approaching a record $4 trillion in fiscal 2011, which begins this October, the deficits will still be in the trillion dollar range by the | Read More »
This is an interesting column by Jed Babbin. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) popped a surprise on the Republican Conference in their January 20 meeting. President Obama had accepted his invitation to appear at their Baltimore retreat scheduled for January 29, two days after the State of the Union speech. According to several dismayed conservative members that attended the meeting and sought me out | Read More »
I wrote about this last night, but I wanted to highlight it again. Instead of me recreating the wheel, jump over to Human Events where you can read key bits of the transcript between Thiessen and Amanpour. This is powerful stuff. Thiessen really did well defending the CIA and enhanced interrogation. It was delightful watching him make everyone one else eat their words. Example: Thiessen | Read More »
Kansas’s next Senator, Todd Tiahrt (who I still think needs to buy an extra vowel for his last name from Vanna White) has a very interesting column at Human Events today. It’s well worth considering. Washington is full of hyperbolism. We often talk about something being the best, the worst, or the most scandalous. Some of these statements are true; most are not. So when | Read More »
Jed Babbin has the top story at Human Events today. Soon upon us will be the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration. It’s time to ask, are we safer or in more danger than we were a year ago? By every objective measure — what we know about Islamic terrorism, its intentions and capabilities — the answer is no. We are far less safe | Read More »
Great column by Ross over at Human Events. After the climate hoaxers and extortionists quietly slunk home after their utter failure in Copenhagen, one might have expected a barrage of “the end is nigh” press releases by Al Gore and friends, explaining how the refusal of governments to kneecap their economies will lead to us all being slowly convection baked to death in a never-ending | Read More »
Good post by Jed Babbin over at Human Events. Americans are often smarter than those they elect to govern them. According to a December 31 Rasmussen poll, “Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day.” Instead of being shipped off to Guantanamo | Read More »
Great piece by Jed Babbin over at Human Events today. It would be satisfying — and manifestly just — for President Obama to fire Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. She abjures the “politics of fear,” and prefers the term “man-caused disasters” to the word “terrorism.” And it was her risible reaction to the failed Christmas Day attack (“the system worked”) that redundantly proved her unfit | Read More »
Phyllis Schlafly has a fantastic column at Human Events today. New reasons emerge almost daily as to why Obamacare can and must be defeated. 1. The American people oppose Obamacare by almost 2 to 1 in the latest CNN poll. Other polls show lopsided opposition to passing either the Senate or House health-care bill. Public opinion is against the bill because of its obscene costs | Read More »
Jed Babbin has today’s top story at Human Events. Today the Senate will drop its huge lump of coal in our Christmas stockings by passing Harry Reid’s version of the Obamacare bill. And when it’s done, its members can join the already-recessed House for their much-anticipated if not well-earned Christmas vacation. Congressional recesses, especially the Christmas break, were short vacations from politics until Bill | Read More »
In a perfect axis of all powerful conservatism, John Bolton writes the profile of Human Events’ Conservative of the Year. The winner is Vice President Cheney. In Washingtonian “inside the Beltway” terms, the most amazing aspect of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s new clout is that he is achieving it the old-fashioned way: talking about public policy. He is not running for President or any | Read More »
Great piece by Jed Babbin over at Human Events. Yesterday, President Obama’s two principal economic advisors — National Economic Council Director Larry Summers and Council of Economic Advisors chair Christina Roemer — gave us a glimpse into the continued tumult in the White House’s over how to restart America’s economic engines. Summers said, “Today, everybody agrees that the recession is over, and the question | Read More »
Great post from Wayne Simmons at Human Events. At no time in recent American military history has a speech delivered by a President of the United States done so much to distance our nation from victory and put the men and woman of the military and intelligence agencies in harm’s way. President Obama’s big Afghanistan speech caused nary a tremble in the polls. Before he | Read More »
Chis Chocola has the top story at Human Events today. It was a foregone conclusion that the nation ignored the White House’s “Jobs Summit” last Thursday. Even the presidents’ allies acknowledged the afternoon confab of friendly CEOs, labor bosses, and economists was a publicity stunt. And so it was. But if you watched cable news at all that day, you probably saw live interviews | Read More »
We’ve written about this before. Over at Human Events, Jed Babbin has more. December 7th is usually a day we remember the brave men who died at Pearl Harbor. Many of them died fighting, responding instantly to the cowardly Japanese attack that came without warning. This is a day to honor bravery, resolve and sacrifice. But this December 7th is different. Today — because | Read More »
Ted Nugent has a jobs summit idea. Though I am a risk taker, there’s no risk in asking to be be invited to participate in President Obama’s jobs summit at the White House on December 3rd. I won’t crash the party, and this president isn’t going to invite me. But I should be invited. I am a successful small businessman and have been since the | Read More »
Rowan Scarborough has the top story at Human Events today. Some of the nation’s wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison. Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have | Read More »
Jed Babbin has the top story today at Human Events. Many of President Obama’s critics argue that he and Democratic congressional leaders are out of touch with America. That judgment is both too harsh and too kind. It’s too harsh because President Obama congressional Democrats are already reacting to the Tea Partyers’ rebellion against his massive increases in government spending. It’s too kind because the | Read More »
