RENEWAMERICA — Shortly after communist-mentored Barack Obama was elected to the White House in 2008, I asked a brother at a family gathering, "Who's going to be president of the United States in 20 years?" Without hesitating, he said, "Barack Obama"... (more)


(Pardon one objectional word)

ALAN KEYES — In the aftermath of World War II, Soviet-backed Communist Parties consolidated their monopoly of power in the countries of Eastern Europe. However, to facilitate control and give the appearance of "democratic" elections, the communists allowed for the existence of parties nominally distinct from the Communist Party, though in fact subservient to its agenda in all respects...

PATRICK GARRY, RA ANALYST — Throughout the Obama era, the issue of income inequality has been a central tool of political strategizing... (more)

NEW YORK POST — President Obama likes to claim he's been forced into rogue executive actions, laying the blame on an intransigent Congress. In fact, his lawlessness is coldly calculated, dating back to his days as a Chicago community organizer.... (more)


December 1, 2014
NEW YORK POST — The commander in chief doesn't think much of the man who labeled him "The Stranger." Shopping at a Washington, DC, bookstore Saturday, President Obama spotted a copy of "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd's new book about his presidency.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Here's a quiz for you folks in the media: What happens if you're out doing "man on the street" interviews but none of the men on the street fit your "narrative"? If you're CNN, you stop interviewing them.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Liberals who aren't taking the current court challenge to Obamacare seriously risk enabling the healthcare law's demise, writes Sam Baker in National Journal. "For the second time, there's a very real chance that the (Supreme) Court could tear the Affordable Care Act apart. And, also for the second time, some liberals are making the mistake of treating that existential threat like it's a joke," Baker writes.... (more)

NEWSMAX — John Podesta, President Barack Obama's adviser on climate change, is quickly nearing the end of his one-year commitment to the job and is moving to accomplish as much as he can before leaving on Dec. 31, National Journal reports.... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — It's not enough for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to use its legal clout to halt graduation invocations or prayers before high school football games. In Florida, the ACLU insists that even a secular school concert in a building that is used for religious services is beyond the pale. As is often the case, a single "atheist" parent complained, and that was enough for the ACLU to threaten legal action over the possibility of attendees catching religion "cooties."... (more)

EXPRESS — Terrorists are plotting to blow up five European passenger jets in a Christmas "spectacular", security experts say. The threat has been taken so seriously it came close to leading to an outright ban on all hand luggage, a senior insider has revealed.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — As Ferguson burned this week, the law books got a workout. Suddenly, grand-jury procedure was all the rage. Commentators better known for parroting the bromide that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich went berserk when the sandwich on offer was a white cop and the grand jury refused to bite....

WASHINGTON TIMES — In the summer of 2013, after neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, a Hispanic, was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, the political left wanted to have a discussion about everything except the black crime rates that lead people to view young black males with suspicion....

TERENCE P. JEFFREY — The Daily Treasury Statement that was released Wednesday afternoon as Americans were preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving revealed that the U.S. Treasury has been forced to issue $1,040,965,000,000 in new debt since fiscal 2015 started just eight weeks ago in order to raise the money to pay off Treasury securities that were maturing and to cover new deficit spending by the government....

WASHINGTON TIMES — Vendors across the country saw a huge spike in sales on Black Friday, including gun sales, the FBI said. FBI officials are concerned over the background checks yet to be completed for the sales. There are over 144,000 background checks that need to be processed after the Friday sales, but a lot of them aren't completed and so won't be processed right away, CNN reported Friday.... (more)

CNN — For the first time since 2007, a majority of Americans think things are going well in the nation, a new CNN/ORC International poll found.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Obama claims he has the legal authority to grant amnesty because Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush did it. But again, Obama predictably misleads. Both of those presidents worked with Congress to ensure that new immigration legislation would not split apart families. The amnesties they granted were in accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and had only a fraction of the impact that Obama's executive order would have.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — CNN's Don Lemon is under fire for making the elementary observation that some of the Ferguson protesters planning violence and mayhem were smoking pot. Linking dope to violence is taboo for most of the media.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — A two-year-old case involving the shooting death of an unarmed 18-year-old white man by a black police officer is gaining attention on social media in the wake of this week's protests and rioting in Ferguson, Missouri.... (more)


November 29, 2014
JOSEPH FARAH — There are national protests -- even riots -- over the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was shot by one policeman after significant provocation and violence. The incident was thoroughly investigated by the national and international press. It was investigated by local police, who released findings to the public. A grand jury considered the facts and found no cause for charges against the police officer.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — The institution of traditional marriage, which predates virtually all governments, is a compelling state interest, because it benefits children, asserts a brief in support of Florida's law defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.... (more)

JOSEPH CURL — A fantastical remark by Hillary Clinton went virtually unnoticed last week, especially by the mainstream media.
