An appeal to my reasonable conservative friends: If you are not reasonable and open-minded, don’t read any further. I’m not looking for “zots.” I’m looking for reasonable people who are serious about making the right choice. When I know I’ve chosen wisely, I feel at peace, without doubt in my mind, and start to get excited – like Chrissy Mathews, I get “that tingle.” How | Read More »

Shocking things have become such a daily occurrence under the Obama regime that I gave up blogging a few months ago. There was no way to cover all the outrages — or even to pick what to cover from the overwhelming barrage. This morning, however, something came along that hits so close to home, I am inspired to write. The horror of ObamaCare has now | Read More »

Many psychologists and pundits have commented, over the years, on Barack Obama’s aloofness, stiffness, weird sense of humor and apparent emotional disconnect from those he is supposed to be serving. In the last few days, this topic has again come to the fore, as many Americans have noted the rather strange discrepancy between Obama’s knowing, as of Friday, about the planned attack on Osama bin | Read More »

Barack Obama seems to think that attending a Passover seder once a year will fool Jews into thinking he likes them. Forget that he gave massive financial support — not to mention weekly attendance — to a church whose pastor, Jeremiah Wright, delivers anti-Semitic jabs on a regular basis. Forget that his first phone call from the Oval Office after his inauguration was to Mahmoud | Read More »

The Dodd-Frank financial reform bill passed last year contains something every bit as dictatorial — and dangerous — as Obama’s unconstitutional “czars.” I found out about it in an email I received from Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) [boldface and first hyperlink added by me]: This week I introduced commonsense legislation to reform the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Better consumer protection is a shared goal | Read More »

Good golly, Miss Molly, some days I wake up and I still can’t believe my fellow Americans elected this creep to the White House: President Obama said Tuesday he would not sign a budget agreement to keep the government running that cuts funding for Planned Parenthood and the Environmental Protection Agency. “There can be some negotiation about composition,” Obama told reporters…. “What we can’t be | Read More »

Friday was indeed a great day to be a Muslim Brother. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and the most influential Muslim scholar in the world — looked to by most of the world’s Sunni Muslims for guidance about their faith — has made a triumphal return to Egypt. On Friday, Qaradawi spoke to hundreds of thousands (estimates go as high as a | Read More »

A recently published book, Prelude to Catastrophe, analyzes the thinking and actions of highly positioned Jews in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration who wanted to help the Jews of Europe but struggled to find the best ways to do so. I haven’t read the book yet, but I mention it because I want to share with you a passage from David Frum’s review of it that | Read More »
