Please help push the Obama Administration into acting to press Mexican authorities for the release of Jon Hammar. This soldier needs to come home. Our servicemen and women deserve better than this.
Read More »Because gun control advocates want to change the law, the burden of proof lies on them; so here is the first question they must answer: Why didn’t restrictive gun control laws save the victims of Newtown?
Read More »People want there to be a reason for everything. People should have a logical reason for any significant thing they do. Life should make sense. Humans so strongly feel the desire for ratiocination to triumph over chaos and that Charles Williams once remarked that “Hell is (the) indefinite.” No matter how bad a tragedy occurs, we try to find a reason or a purpose behind it.
It is only when we give up trying to figure it out that we call it senseless or lapse into evil satire as Bob Geldof famously did when he heard of the Cleveland Elementary School shooting spree in 1979. So we look for a reason for the seemingly inexplicable things such as Adam Lanza’s shooting spree in A Connecticut Elementary School.

Democrats live by the dictum “never let a good crisis go to waste.” What better way to insert their campaign wish list into a Hurricane Sandy disaster aid bill? To that end, Obama has submitted a $60.4 billion dollar aid request for recovery of damage from Hurricane Sandy. His proposal is chock full of items from his campaign wish list, and will be considered before | Read More »
On today’s edition of Coffee and Markets, Brad Jackson and Ben Domenech discuss the terrible tragedy in Connecticut on Friday, why the media’s portrayal of mass murders is inaccurate and why there is no easy policy solution to prevent these kinds of tragedies.

While America is more than $16 trillion in debt, we also have nearly $122 trillion in unfunded liabilities, which no one seems to be focusing on. Right now, every American taxpayer is liable for more than $1 million in unfunded liabilities.
Read More »What is worse than striking out? Grounding into a double play. Not only is Boehner prepared to raise taxes – both through capping deductions and increasing marginal rates – he is now prepared to preemptively surrender our last point of leverage in one fell swoop. The media is now reporting that Boehner offered Obama a clean 1-year debt ceiling extension as part of the deal | Read More »
It’s not as though this will come as a shock to most readers, however, it’s just been officially revealed that Barack Obama’s union appointees at the National Labor Relations Board are biased toward unions.

From the Boston Globe: “I expect to do the same thing I did last time,” [MA Governor Deval] Patrick told reporters. “I’m not ruling out other options. But, as a practical matter, it’s hard for me to imagine how you could serve in the Senate for a four-month period and also run a statewide campaign in a | Read More »
It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head; “There is no peace on earth,” I said; “For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!” On Friday in Connecticut, more than two dozen, mostly children, | Read More »
This paragraph from the Investor’s Business Daily article on the Obama administration’s remarkable inability to get states to sign off on state Obamacare exchanges caught my eye, particularly the part I bolded: In the states with federally run exchanges, HHS will be tasked with hiring the people to run the exchanges, ensuring that insurance plans applying to be on the exchange are compliant with ObamaCare | Read More »
Only a few hours after the tragic shootings in Newton, Connecticut, Fat Jerry Nadler was on the Ed Schultz show encouraging Obama to “exploit” the tragedy. It was hardly necessary to encourage the ongoing RICO conspiracy in the White House to create a crisis to exploit or to exploit an existing tragedy.
At times like this we are told we must “come together.” When you think about, we don’t, as a nation, come together much any more except in tragedy. We used to come together as a nation during the Olympics, when we rooted for Americans. But in recent years we are too often lectured about the jingoism in rooting for America. We used to come together | Read More »
One of the keys to implementing Obamacare is the establishment of health insurance exchanges in each state. Despite them being a huge pig in the poke, some are accusing GOP governors of betraying “states rights” by refusing to take on the responsibility. To the contrary, refusal is both a political and economic no-brainer.
The dystopian Science Fiction novel A Canticle For Liebowitz featured one of the best and most articulate examples of what happens when a society rejects modernity en masse. The “Simplication” involved the destruction of all things part and parcel to modern society. This element of destructive rejection resonated amongst the Egyptian grassroots that propelled Muhammad Morsi and The Muslim Brotherhood to power during the tragically misnamed Arab Spring. I predicted this would not be a Renaissance but rather a Bonfire of The Vanities.
And so here goes your proof. The same people who actually debate whether or not to blow up those idolatrous pyramids at Luxor, are now banning all music from Egyptian State Radio accept “patriotic” tunes. Details of Egypt’s “Day The Music Died” followed below.
