While bits and pieces of the massive law are designed to appeal to seniors—more taxpayer subsidies for the Medicare drug benefit, for example—much of the financing over the initial ten years is siphoned off from an | Read More »
Robert Spencer has the top story today at Human Events: Now that it has been revealed that not one, but two mosques are planned for the area around Ground Zero, the supremacist and triumphalist character of this effort is clearer than ever.

Elisabeth Meinecke has the top story today at Human Events. One of the cardinal rules of sports organizations is that it always boils down to the fans.

James Edwards has the top story at Human Events today on Arizona’s immigration law the left is hyperventilating about.

The law, which GOP Gov. Jan Brewer signed April 23, uses state police authority to | Read More »
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.
