So, while some might scoff at Sen. Bernie Sander’s (I-VT) self-described “democratic socialism and think it won’t resonate with the electorate, let’s not forget the Reason-Rupe poll that showed just as many Democrats who viewed capitalism favorably, viewed socialism with the same regard. Philip Bump at the Washington Post noted this flashback today, but also included that self-avowed socialists have done miserably in national […]

I’m honestly surprised it took 72 hours for the narrative to play out this way. That seems like an inordinantly long time for this particular President to take to blame the opposing party – which has been doing an excellent job, of late, proving that it was Harry Reid who was the cornerstone of the do-nothing Congress – for the […]

John Kerry claims that giving terrorist Iran (that promise to annihilate the U.S. and Israel) nuclear materials and technology will make the world safer. Seriously… What crack is he smoking?

Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. Jew-hatred is not a result of the existence of Israel or of anything Israel does. The cause and result go the other way round. Israel is hated because Jews are hated. We are not talking about the religion of Judaism. Strange to say, it’s very rare to hear even the most rabid anti-Semite attack the Jewish religion. […]

One would think that the ruling clerics of the Islamic Republic would moderate their hatred, anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Western sentiments after President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry handed the Iranian government a lot of compromises, a sweet nuclear deal, eased sanctions, and have turned a blind eye to Iran’s interventionist and expansionists policies. In fact, it is the […]

When Congress passed the PATRIOT Act in 2001, it did not intend to authorize the indiscriminate collection of personal information about every American.

The overall savings rate, which rose slightly between 2009 and 2012, has since taken a plunge.  An Assets and Opportunity report from 2014 stated that 44% of Americans either were in the red, […]

It’s late April 2015 and it is still quite cold and the growing season is behind – an unusual late and frigid spring.

If it’s hot, it is […]
