After the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, and after the murder in late April of nine Americans – 8 soldiers and one civilian contractor – in Afghanistan by a veteran Afghan military pilot said to be frustrated over his private life, it is time to read the handwriting on the wall and pull all of our troops out of Afghanistan entirely and immediately. | Read More »
if you drive a car – I’ll tax the street; if you try to sit – I’ll tax your seat; if you get too cold – I’ll tax the heat; if you take a walk – I’ll tax your feet. – Lyrics from the Beatles song Taxman President Obama and the Congressional Budget Office both recently have resurrected the idea that motorists could be | Read More »

Overall, companies added 2.1 million jobs since last February, after the loss of 8.8 million as a result of the 18-month recession that ended in June 2009.’ (end of excerpt) Yet | Read More »
Did Barack Obama learn anything from the ‘birther’ issue in which a president of the United States was humiliated by public pressure and public doubts into releasing his own birth certificate to prove that he is eligible to hold the office? Apparently not. Now we have an even bigger row developing over the death photos of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden. And this debate | Read More »
Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, what are we to think of president Barack Obama who ordered the killing? The liberals will say for all the rest of time that Obama is a hero. And indeed killing bin Laden was the right thing to do; we conservatives have supported the idea since 9/11. But it is important to remember that Obama was carrying | Read More »
Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, the terrorists are kicking up their propaganda campaign against the West. According to recent reports, terrorists now are claiming that they have a nuclear bomb and are going to detonate in an American city. So what… Big deal… It is just more propaganda. If they have the bomb, what are they waiting for? Why are they telling | Read More »
Osama bin Laden has been killed by US Navy Seals. This is good news and a time to reflect on our War on Terror. First and foremost, our brave military carried out the execution. We can always rely on the World’s Finest when courage is required. These guys are awesome. And we probably will never know their individual identities because they also are humble. | Read More »
Let’s make the 2012 presidential election about the issue of racism. Because the Democrats already have done that while acting like they have not. So let’s stop playing games. Bob Schieffer of CBS recently said that “this is an ugly strain of racism that’s running through this whole thing” about Donald Trump asking for Obama’s birth certificate and wanting to see Obama’s education records. | Read More »
We just shivered through another cold Spring 2011 here in New England. This comes after a brutal winter, with frigid temperatures and record amounts of snow. This comes after Al Gore’s ‘global warming’ minions have warned us for years that we may never see cold winters or snow again. Indeed we have had a string of very cold winters in New England. There have | Read More »
President Obama has released his birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. This puts to rest a controversy that has been brewing since his entry into the presidential race of 2008. And it is important to remember that the original “birthers” were in the Hillary Clinton campaign, not on the conservative right. The green-colored long-form certificate was | Read More »
Sunday, May 1 is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the government-owned Amtrak rail passenger system in 1971. This is a good time to sell Amtrak off. It should have been privatized decades ago. Currently Amtrak consumes more than $1.5 billion annually in government subsidies. That annual cost to taxpayers would be eliminated if Amtrak is sold, and the government also would get | Read More »
Barack and Michelle Obama have been one of the most privileged couples in America. Yet they are fixated on a perpetual left-wing racial grievance culture as expressed by the Democrat party. Consider the president. His father was a radical black Muslim/communist from Africa who had scholarships at both University of Hawaii and Harvard. That’s a pretty good start, for your parent to be | Read More »
Karl Rove is the chief political operative and advisor who got George Bush elected president twice. He now is saying that Donald Trump is a “joke candidate” for president. Interestingly Rove is the man whose president destroyed his own legacy with one of the worst wars in all of American history. So if Rove is so smart, why did he allow Bush to go | Read More »
During a recent mock Iowa disaster drill, a group of “terrorists” shots dozens of people. Unfortunately the “terrorists” were being portrayed as white supremacists angry with illegal immigration. So rather than showing us real Islamic terrorists killing Americans or perhaps members of the ultra-violent Salvadoran gang MS-13 doing their dirty work here in the United States, the aggressors were being portrayed as a bunch | Read More »
Former Republican US senator from Wyoming Alan Simpson is at it again. Simpson, a well-known ‘moderate’, long has been one of those politicians with a ready quip. He has made many comments that the media have lapped up. That is why he is a liberal Republican and hates conservatives, like all liberals do. Yet he has not seemed to have the same vitriol for | Read More »
George Soros, the multibillionaire currency trader/speculator and left-wing money man, predicted in a BBC interview that the Iranian regime would be overthrown in the “bloodiest of the revolutions”. What baloney… This is complete misdirection and subterfuge. Soros knows well that the regimes that will be overthrown in the Middle East are those associated with the United States. Because pro-American regimes like Egypt and Bahrain | Read More »
April 15 is a day to reflect on our tax system. So here’s an anecdote that should give us pause: The commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, Douglas Shulman, said on a 2010 C-Span Newsmakers program that he uses a tax preparer on his returns. “I’ve used one for years,” said Shulman. “I find it convenient. I find the tax code complex so I | Read More »

A black player for the Minnesota Vikings football team recently compared working in the National Football League to slavery. Said Adrian Peterson, “The players are getting robbed. They are. The owners are making so much money off of us to begin with. I don’t know that I want to quote myself on that…. It’s modern-day slavery, you know? People kind of laugh at that, | Read More »
US attorney general Eric Holder recently announced that five Islamist radicals charged with the 9/11 attacks – Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Al Hawsawi – would not be tried in civilian courts in New York City as he had wanted, but in military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay. Heavens, what is this world | Read More »
