Mark Sanford says “It was a bad week.” By what standard?

In this game we call politics, I guess it would be fair to say Congressional candidate Mark Sanford had what he has called “A bad week.”Well, just how bad was it?First, Sanford finds out his competitor in the Congressional race, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, is receiving help from none other than Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi’s help is coming in the form of interviews,… More »

Originally from one of those foreign places, New York, New Jersey or one of those other places; His family now lives in South Carolina. Stuart is of the Jewish faith.

Prom Night: A evening of joy or death?

I wanted to share the remarks from a gentleman who was listened to my program on Newstalk 970 WJMX and 97.9 FM. I was so moved by his words of truth and wisdom. I contacted him to get his approval to share his comments (unedited) as a guest contributor. The topic is serious. Parents, grandparents and other concerned people need to help spread the word to teens everywhere. More »

Two days later, with much more evidence availab… More »

Why Arthur Brooks is wrong: The amnesty folly

Posted By: LauraIn the Wall Street Journal, Arthur Brooks, president of the conservative think-tank American Enterprise Institute, argues that the GOP is missing a huge opportunity to woo Hispanic and Asian voters if it doesn't sign on to comprehensive immigration reform.

Trust nothing they say at this point

Posted By: LauraAG Eric Holder asks us to trust him when he claims he knew nothing about the specifics of the broad subpoena issued for records of the Associated Press. Sorry, Eric, you have not earned our trust. From the very beginning of his tenure at Justice, it was obvious he was going to be trouble. Remember his famous "we are a nation of cowards whe… More »

Dems kill another immig enforcement amendment, Rubio "disappointed"

Posted By: LauraIf you had any doubts about whether the Gang of 8's "comprehensive immigration reform" bill was a raw deal for conservatives, consider this description of how things went during today's Judiciary Committee mark-up, from The Hill: The panel rejected a Republican amendment to require a biometric entry and exit system at ports of entry before gran… More »

Obama's ongoing ode to Alinsky

Posted By: LauraSpare us the phony outrage, Mr. President. His press conference on Monday addressing the IRS and Benghazi scandals was a pathetic display. Not only did he "tolerate" the targeting of political foes, he laid the groundwork for it. How? President Obama--no one else--set the tone early on in his administration. People who disagreed with his agenda were to be e… More »

Obama CNO is vigilant, not worried by Chinese naval buildup

Posted By: LauraA few of President Obama's pronouncements stick in my mind, such as "We don't seek to contain China." Well, I don't think the Administration has to worry about that anymore. Today China is investing big in its military, and using its economic might to extend its influence beyond Asia not South America, Africa and, of course, right here in the USA. For many… More »

Exposing The Culture Of Intimidation

The House of Representatives cannot roll back Obamacare or Dodd-Frank, or undo the wasted trillions. But it can and must use its oversight powers to expose the culture of intimidation that has taken root and flourished throughout the executive branch, and that’s the point of my Washington Examiner column today.

The Hearing

That was stomach churning. Some employees within the IRS –and it sounds like a lot of employees– have simply been out of control, and in ways that will chill and disgust most Americans. It is as though the IRS hired exclusively from MoveOn, Kos, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. Ms. Lois Lerner in particular has much to answer for… More »
