Never one to be bothered by the majority if it’s one of his pet projects, Obama has vowed to continue to push for gun control in spite of the recent failure of Congress to do what he wanted them to do. Unfortunately for him, Obama is not really a dictator. He just portrays one on TV when he’s deigning to talk down to all of us, using his index finger as if it was a gun as he peppers listeners and viewers with apoplectic finger stabs to underscore his points.
The resistance to Obamacare is writing a new chapter in U.S. history. It may well become the most unpopular law since Prohibition became an Amendment to the Constitution in 1919. By 1933, another Amendment repealed it. Obamacare passed by a straight Democratic party vote on Christmas Eve in 2009. No Republican voted for it and, [...]
I recently had a “commenter” question my loyalty to America as a result of my hypothesizing that we, as a nation, may be headed for another civil war. It was an honest appraisal of our current situation, as I see it, and one at which I gingerly arrived with a great deal of uncertainty and [...]
High cost, no benefit does nothing to forestall agency’s quest for ecological utopia. President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has already promulgated a tsunami of 1,920 regulations, many of which will bring few health or environmental benefits, but will impose high economic and unemployment costs, often to advance the Administration’s decidedly anti-hydrocarbon agenda. The Heritage Foundation [...]
When I was a teenager I was a magician performing at birthday parties and before local clubs whose adults enjoyed legerdemain as much as the kids. The essence of magic is diversion, distracting the audience to watch the right hand while the left is setting up the illusion. It was a lesson I never forgot [...]
From WashingtonsBlog We Can’t Fix What We Don’t Understand. Bloomberg notes this week that the conventional theory of why money was created is wrong: There are, broadly speaking, two accounts of the origin and history of money. One is elegant, intuitive and taught in many introductory economics textbooks. The other is true. The financial economist [...]
By Dan Roberts Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used. The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of [...]
Please try not to blow yourself up for the next four years while America takes care of a little business here at home. See, America is at one of those critical points in her history where she has to decide what she is going to be for a while. This one is a bit [...]
If you want to know what a carbon tax on emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) would do to America you need only look at the destruction of industry and business in Australia, along with the soaring costs for energy use it imposes on anyone there. “The carbon tax is contributing to a record number of [...]
The record of the legacy of America’s own Sun King is being written today by those of the left who feel compelled to maintain the “official” record of the United States’ history. With apologies to the people of France, we have chosen to describe our President Obama as their Louis the XIV. At least the [...]
“These last few years we’ve seen an unacceptable abuse of power at home. We’ve paid a heavy price for having a president whose priority is expanding his own power.” You’d never guess it today, but these words are from a speech by President Obama back in 2007 when he was a candidate for President. You [...]
Following the sequester debacle in which Obama and his cohorts were swiftly found to be lying through their teeth, his polling numbers have begun to fall and, folks you ain’t seen nothing yet. As the realities and costs of the Affordable Healthcare Act—Obamacare—kick in, when he leaves office, he will be remembered for inflicting pain [...]
By David M. Huntwork Recently, a school in the once great state of Maryland offered counseling to students “troubled” by a classmate eating pastry into the shape of a gun. You might think his offense was kind of silly, but the school considered the seven year old students triggering action a “Level 3” violation of [...]
I’m so old I can remember when anyone who did not agree with the government of Soviet Socialist Russia (or the Soviet Union) would be arrested by the government and placed in Soviet mental institutions because, the Soviet government had determined, you see, that anyone NOT agreeing with them was obviously INSANE. Ofttimes the mentally [...]
The Green Enemies of Humanity, Science and the Truth
Among the greatest liars on Earth today is the international organization called Friends of the Earth (FOE). It has engaged in the most scurrilous fear-mongering for decades, along with Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the World Wildlife Fund, while all the time they pulled in billions in funding. In May 2012, the Daily Caller noted [...]
WOW! What a turn around! I refer of course, to the repentance of the Mainstream Media. Repentance here is meant in the classic definition: turn around and go the other way. That’s what the press has done the past few days. And , yes, it IS remarkable! It is nigh on to laughable to observe [...]
Anti-pesticide activists falsely blame new pesticides for bee colony problems. Chemophobic anti-pesticide groups are at it again. This time they’re attacking a widely used and safe new insecticide, but their assertions and real agendas are nothing new. Radical environmentalism rose to ascendancy on opposition to pesticides, specifically DDT. “If the environmentalists win on DDT,” Environmental [...]
People in the Washington, DC area like to worry. Part of it’s because leftists are required to show “concern” about the darnedest things and part of it is because a large government workforce has to discover something to do or at least find a way to look busy. For example, the National Weather Service suffered [...]
The President as Sergeant Schultz
How is it that, time and again, the most powerful man on the planet doesn’t seem to have a clue what is happening in his own government? Famed for never accepting blame for anything, the more I see President Obama these days, the more I am reminded of Sergeant Hans Schultz of the TV sitcom, [...]

Drone Attacks Dishonorable
Allow me to state, up front, I expect to catch a lot of flack for these comments. But I have a burr under my saddle and I’m going to pluck it out. America’s use of drones to kill her enemies does not sit well with me. It’s distasteful to me and most of all — [...]
