Why We Need a Special Committee

Posted on May 15th, 2013

There’s only one good way to get to the truth.   By:  Fred Thompson   Since last September, many Americans have had the sick feeling that their government was getting away with a cover-up of massive proportions. Four Americans representing our country in Libya were left unprotected by their own government, and then abandoned during [...]

He looks like a man who would rather be opening a library than governing a country

Posted on May 1st, 2013

  Silvio Canto, Jr.      THE AMERICAN THINKER   President Obama’s press conference showed me a man who is either isolated from reality or unfit for the executive position that he ran for.  To be fair, this “100th day” standard is silly.  I am not really sure why presidents even talk about it but they do. [...]

As Manager-in-Chief, Obama Blamed for FAA Woes

Posted on April 25th, 2013

By Alexis Simendinger The White House predicted last year that frustrations spawned by airline traffic delays would grab the public’s attention and force Congress to correct the misshapen results of lopping through federal budgets with a guillotine. And they were right that air travelers would get the message, but wrong about Congress’s willingness to avert [...]

Barack Obama can’t pass gun control despite 90 per cent support. Truly, he is a lame-duck president

Posted on April 18th, 2013

  By Tim Stanley Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it [...]

The Sequester Revelation

Posted on February 27th, 2013

Obama has the legal power to avoid spending-cut damage. And when the Republicans opened the seventh seal of the sequester, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black and the stars fell unto the Earth; and our nation’s ability to forecast severe weather, such as drought events, hurricanes and tornados, was seriously undermined. [...]

Noonan: Government by Freakout

Posted on February 23rd, 2013

Obama’s scare tactics aren’t much of a long-term strategy. The president’s sequester strategy is like Howard Beale in “Network”: “Woe is us. . . . And woe is us! We’re in a lot of trouble!” It is always cliffs, ceilings and looming catastrophes with Barack Obama. It is always government by freakout. That’s what’s happening [...]
