Mike Riggs: Obama Is Transparently Disappointing

Where did "unprecedented openness in government" go? On March 28, 2011, a group of leading transparency advocates passed through the security checkpoints along the perimeter of the White House compound to present Barack Obama with an award for his efforts to open up government. The president who took office promising “an   .... MORE

Motivating Youth To Watch Presidential Debates

by Katie Kieffer. Hit the gym; grab dinner with friends; build a bonfire. These are three evening activities I prefer to watching presidential debates—and I am a political commentator. Few young people watch presidential debates and I understand why. After Wednesday’s initial presidential debate, I realized that Republicans are failing to exploit the debates and   ... MORE

Cops Claim That Face-Chewer Was On Bath Salts A Lie

Another drug warrior scapegoats marijuana as the culprit. Lab tests detected only marijuana in the system of a Florida man shot while chewing on another man's face, the medical examiner said Wednesday, ruling out other street drugs including the components typically found in the stimulants known as "bath salts." There has been much    ...

Walter E. Williams: Racial Double Standards

Double standards now accepted as politically correct. Back in 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said we were "a nation of cowards" on matters of race. Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we're on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites,  ... MORE

Russ Vaughn: Fast & Furious Was Gun Control To Die For

Operation Vast & Obvious grows ominous. When Operation Fast & Furious first broke into the news, many of us immediately questioned the DoJ's irrational rationale. The proffered assertion that the program was designed to track firearms purchased in America to leaders of the Mexican drug cartels simply made no sense. The glaringly obvious flaw in the ... MORE

Barry Farber: Breitbart's Death Just A Coincidence?

How far-fetched are Breitbart conspiracy rumors?    First, let’s nail down the difference between a conspiracy theorist and a broad-minded person. A conspiracy theorist says, “Of course, Andrew Breitbart was assassinated. Look how many people benefit from his absence. He told CPAC he had videos that could doom Obama’s re-election chances. He told   ... MORE

Robert Stacy McCain: The Breitbart Experience

His powerful voice for individual liberty will be missed.      Last Friday, at 10:30 p.m., Andrew Breitbart sent me a two-word text message: "Where y'at?" We were both in Troy, Michigan, that night. He was scheduled to speak at the next day's Americans for Prosperity forum. I was in town to cover the Republican presidential primary campaign. Knowing he would be  ... MORE

Peter Berger: On Blasphemy Laws

Religious groups raise hell over words.   In common usage blasphemy means words and actions which constitute an insult to God or other sacred entities. To the modern mind the term may seem obsolete, a leftover from primitive superstition. It is anything but obsolete to many people in the contemporary world. Toward the end of January two ... MORE

Steve Watson: Fox Business News Axes Freedom Watch

Info on how to get Napolitano's show back on. The Fox Business Channel has cancelled one of the only shows on the entire Fox News network that was in any way informative or watchable - Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano. In a press release distributed late Thursday, the channel announced that its entire prime-time programming lineup  ...

Theodore B. Olson: Obama's Enemies List

Private citizens have become targets for White House attacks. How would you feel if aides to the president of the United States singled you out by name for attack, and if you were featured prominently in the president's re-election campaign as an enemy of the people? What would you do if the White House engaged in derogatory speculative innuendo ...

Why Ron Paul's Surge Is Making Them Nervous

by Jacob Horneberger.  While big government statists in both the Republican and Democrat parties remain mystified over Ron Paul's surge in the polls in Iowa, the ones who seem most confounded by this phenomenon are members of the mainstream media, who themselves are statist to the core. They just can't figure out how it's possible that increasing numbers of  ... MORE
