Thomas Sowell: The President's Speech
Clueless in D.C. When the President of the United States asks the television networks to set aside time for him to broadcast a speech from the Oval Office, we can usually expect that he has something new to say. But President Obama's speech Sunday night was just a rehash of what he has been saying all along, trying to justify policies that have ... MOREObama's Heaping Helping Of Government Regulations
a Press-Enterprise editorial. The Obama administration may have been thankful that people were not paying attention on Thanksgiving to the 2,224 new regulations it is proposing. The government is required to publish an agenda of regulatory activities twice a year and, as the Daily Caller observes, “Obama has developed a habit of releasing ... MOREJacob Davidson: A Criminologist’s Case Against Gun Control
A law professor explains why he is skeptical. In the wake of the recent mass shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood
that claimed three lives, President Barack Obama called the incidents
of gun violence in America “not normal.” “Enough is enough,” Obama said.
According to one count,
there have been 351 mass shootings in the United ... MORES. Fred Singer: The Burden Of Proof On Climate Change
Making America pay. The burden of proof for Anthropogenic Climate Change falls on alarmists. Climate Change (CC) has been ongoing for millions of years – long before humans existed on this planet. Obviously, the causes were all of natural origin, and not anthropogenic. There is no reason to believe that these natural causes have ... MOREObama Unveils More Than 2,000 New Regulations
by Alex Swoyer. Each expected to cost Americans $100 million or more. Senior Research Fellow and expert in regulatory and telecommunications for the Heritage Foundation James Gattuso reviewed the “economically significant” regulations. “The regulations span the full scope of American life,

by Bob Barr. The flood of refugees from Syria and other Middle East countries that the Obama Administration is preparing to distribute to communities across the nation raises very real and understandable security concerns among government officials at the state and local levels, and among the citizenry generally. It is, of course, facile for ... MORENational Debt Spikes $578 Billion In Three Weeks
By Pete Kasperowicz. Spending frenzy after debt ceiling suspension. The national debt has surged more than half a trillion dollars in the last three weeks, as the suspension of the debt ceiling in late October has allowed the government to borrow as much as it wants.

from Pew Research. We should be worried about the 19%. A year ahead of the presidential election,
the American public is deeply cynical about government, politics and
the nation’s elected leaders in a way that has become quite familiar. Currently, just 19% say they can trust the government always or most of the time, among the lowest ... MOREThomas Sowell: Political Translations
Sugar-coating empty words. It is amazing how many different ways the same thing can be said,
creating totally different impressions. For example, when President
Barack Obama says that defeating ISIS is going to take a long time, how
is that different from saying that he is going to do very little, very
slowly? It is saying the same thing in ... MOREPaul Joseph Watson: Obama's Compassion Toward ISIS
Obama Gave ISIS 45 minute warning before bombing. The Obama White House is giving ISIS a 45 minute warning before bombing their oil tankers by dropping leaflets advising potential jihadists to flee before air strikes in Syria. “Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be ... MOREEven The Mainstream Media Notices Obama's ISIS Failure
by Edward Morrissey. The emperor has no clothes. President Obama, like so many of us, was caught unprepared for ISIS's devastating attack on Paris. But unlike the rest of us, the leader of the free world was also caught unprepared a few days later, this time for the scrutiny of his record on the fight against the terrorist quasi-state. That 1-2 combo ... MOREThomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Current observations of a genius. Some financial institutions may be considered "too big to fail," but contemporary Western society may be too frivolous to survive. The Romans had bread and circuses to keep the masses passive and unthinking. We have electronic gadgets, drugs and pornography. Like the Roman Empire, we too may decline and ... MORECalls For Boots On The Ground, Curbing Immigration And More Surveillance Powers Coming In Wake Of Paris Attacks
by Peter Suderman. The politics of panic. CNN’s Jim Acosta captured the prevailing mood in the corridors of political power today when he asked President Obama about America’s willingness to step up attacks on ISIS following the terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday. “I think a lot of Americans have this frustration that they see that the United ... MOREObama Administration Bankrolling Nonstop Protests
by Paul Sperry. Barack Obama’s presidency has been pockmarked by rioting, looting and
protests. That’s no coincidence. It’s what the former community
organizer sought from Day One. And it’s just going to get worse before
he leaves office. The senseless protests we’re seeing break out on the campuses of the University of Missouri,
Yale and other ... MOREDespite Paris Attacks, Obama Administration Moves To Increase And Accelerate The Number Of Syrian Refugees
An invitation to catastrophe. The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.

It is not global warming. Scientists and lawmakers are placing the blame for recent wildfires on President Barack Obama’s policies, not global warming. “Our nation’s forests are sick and flammable, but they don’t have to be. Proper management would increase their resilience to wildfires.” said Julia Slingsby, Press Secretary of the House ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: The President And The Rule Of Law
Shackling an unconstitutional loose cannon. Earlier this week, a federal appeals court in New Orleans upheld an injunction issued by a federal district court in Texas against the federal government, thereby preventing it from implementing President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration.
