The State of the Union address is coming, which means it’s time for President Obama to propose new federal entitlements. His latest gift horse from taxpayers comes under the pretext of improving America’s workforce: free community college. Community colleges are public state or local institutions, often two- or three-year programs, that attempt to narrow the skills gap for high-school graduates…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or hanging out in the White House with nothing to do, you no doubt have heard about President Obama’s conspicuous absence at yesterday’s Paris peace march. After all, there were over 40 world leaders in attendance but nary a White House bigwig in site. Well, the Obama team has admitted their mistake, although with…
In the latest challenge to Texas’ so-called “pro-life law of the century” (passed as H.B. 2), last week a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case Whole Woman’s Health v. Lakey. Abortion providers, including Whole Woman’s Health Clinic in McAllen, Texas, sued the state to keep key provisions of H.B. 2 from being enforced….
As more than 40 heads of state locked arms and marched through the streets of Paris on Sunday, one country was noticeably absent: the United States. While President Barack Obama took heat from political foes for failing to attend a historic event that drew major world leaders, he also was criticized by members of the mainstream media.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave lately, you might have noticed there seems to be an ongoing onslaught against our Judeo-Christian traditions and beliefs. It’s happening on virtually every front in our culture – in schools, in the media and movies, in the public arena. Many elitists today interpret the First Amendment in such a way as to turn…
“There is none as blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who chose to ignore what they already know.” According to what I could find during my two-minute Internet research session, the above saying is an old English proverb first attributed to Sir John Hayward in 1546. But the sentiments expressed could easily be…
All due respect to Adam, but his understatement is almost a scandal. We’ve posted a lot of incredibly stupid sound bites from MSNBC and other places around here, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a dumber exchange. I don’t know who the guy is making the astoundingly obtuse comparison between Jerry Falwell and a bunch of cold-blooded murderers but,…
In the wake of the terrorist attack on the offices of French satirist paper Charlie Hebdo, one Muslim cleric justified the murders under Islamic law. USA today published a column by avowed “radical Muslim cleric” Anjem Choudary. The piece titled “People know the consequences” asks why France would allow the paper to mock Islam, and further excused the systematic murders…
As they went on their rampage, the men who killed 12 people in Paris this week yelled that they had “avenged the prophet.” They follow in the path of other terrorists who have bombed newspaper offices, stabbed a filmmaker and killed writers and translators, all to mete out what they believe is the proper Koranic punishment for blasphemy. But in…
