I could barely keep myself from falling asleep during President Obama’s Tuesday press conference. Rush Limbaugh led off his program describing it as “boring” and the answers to questions as “boilerplate.” I cannot recall a press conference that yielded less “news”. In her weekly Wall Street Journal column Peggy Noonan…See More

It turns out that the device that the Boston marathon bomber used was described and its use was recommended in an al Qaeda publication, “Inspire.” There must be a million words a day written, printed, broadcast, and on the Internet about Islam, Islamists, jihadists, Arabs, and others of that persuasion. I do not call it a…See More

I thought it odd that the Republican National Committee would have labeled its analysis of the 2012 campaign loss an “autopsy.”  The GOP is far from dead and, more importantly, neither is conservatism as a political force in the life of the nation.It would be a very serious error for the GOP to abandon its conservative…See More

Despite the rosy scenario provided by the President’s State of the Union (SOTU) Speech on February 12, a far more realistic presentation was made on February 13 by Douglas W. Elmendorf, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO is apolitical and non-partisan, relying solely on the cold hard facts…See More

The utter desperation of the “Warmists”, the advocates of global warming—now called climate change—is evident in a recent “study” reported in the Daily Caller in which “an international team of researchers” concluded that…See More

Perhaps the stupidest idea given an airing in a recent edition of The New York Times is Prof. Louis Michael Seidman’s opinion, “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution.”According to his commentary, Prof. Seidman has “taught…See More

Most Americans know the economy is in bad shape even if a majority voted to reelect the man most responsible for making a bad economy worse. And, no, it was not George W.
