Obama’s EPA Rules Will Sidestep Congress

There was a good bit of conservative outrage when Obama promised during his State of the Union address that he would get things done without Congress if he needed to: But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of […]

Why Tax Breaks Aren’t Enough

Since the Reagan days, conservatives have regularly emphasized how beneficial tax breaks are for the economy. And don’t get me wrong, I’m all for cutting taxes. But what many people don’t get is that the beloved Reaganomics were heavily weighted toward deficit spending. You can’t reduce what you’re taking in and increase what you’re putting out […]

Study Indicates that Cynicism Increases Risk of Dementia

A new study conducted in Finland indicates that cynical people are much more likely to develop dementia and other cognitive disorders later in life: Believing that others are motivated by selfishness, or that they lie to get what they want, appears to radically increase the risk of cognitive decline in later life.   It could […]

Transgender is the New Gay

Most of us knew this day was coming. We warned homosexual activists that the path toward “gay” “marriage” would open up a Pandora’s box of social issues with none but an arbitrary legal boundary. Well, apparently it’s already begun, even before the gay marriage issue has been resolved. What’s next? According to TIME magazine, the […]

Anti-Racism Produces Racism, Just Like Leftists Intended

The point of anti-racism is not to reduce racism. Just like the point of Marxist redistribution is not really to decrease income inequality. I could be generous and assume that the results of leftist ideology just happen to be different than the purported desires of leftists. But I really don’t think that’s the case. I […]

Amazon Patents “Subject Against a White Background” Photo Technique

I’ve seen some dumb patents in my day. I think the absolute worst was when Monsanto patented a living organism (its Roundup Ready Mutant Frankenfood Soy). But this one is a pretty close second. Amazon has been granted a patent for its apparently proprietary technique of photographing subjects and objects against a white background. A […]

Santa Barbara Mass Shooter a Perfect Product of Hollywood

Richard Martinez , a grieving father of one of the victims of the recent Santa Barbara mass shooting, offered his explanation for who was to blame for his son’s death: Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris’s right to live? […]

Federal Hypocrisy on Illegal Immigrant Labor

Apparently, there’s a good reason why federal and state agencies don’t want you using illegal labor. And it’s not to free up jobs for taxpaying citizens—it’s apparently because they want more workers to fill the ranks of their detention centers. That’s right, immigrant detainees are a huge base of inexpensive labor for illegal immigrant detention […]

Welcome to Iran, Where It’s a Crime to Be “Happy”

Some young Iranians in Tehran wanted to show the world what it’s really like in Iran. They thought, “You know, most people view Iran as this terrible place filled with hateful people. We want to show them a different version of Iran—one where people are free and happy.” So they recorded a music video for […]

Fiat CEO: “Don’t Buy Our Electric Cars”

As much as I don’t like admitting that Obama was right about something, perhaps he did choose the right man to head up Chrysler. (But don’t worry; all the other problems with that merger still ensure that Obama comes out in the red on it overall … and hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut in […]
