The much-maligned Charles Koch wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week laying out his vision for a free society for all and rejecting the character assassination in which leftists like Harry Reid have been engaged. In fact, the only way Koch’s op-ed could have been any better is if he publicly told Reid to kiss his ass.
In line with Koch’s ideas, Jonah Goldberg writes today that the Republican Party needs to decide whether they want to be pro-business or pro-market. This is the core of the difference between the establishment GOP and the Tea Party.
Tax Freedom Day will fall on April 21 this year, three days later than last year. Showing how our tax code is hurting America, right now American corporations hold $2.1 TRILLION overseas.
There are more Americans on Medicaid than there are people in the United Kingdom.
The fascist left claimed two scalps in the last week. The first was now-former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who committed the thought crime of giving $1000 to the anti-gay marriage Prop 8 campaign in 2008, when his position was exactly the same as Barack Obama’s. The other is former Muslim and critic of Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was supposed to receive an honorary degree from Brandeis University until the fascist left on the faculty protested because she doesn’t buy into the multiculturalist groupthink. The fascist left is trying to go after Dropbox next because they just added Condoleezza Rice to their Board of Directors.
Despite conventional wisdom, there is absolutely no connection between education spending and student outcomes.
The traitors in the Republican Party are giving in to ObamaCare. In fact, they’re working on fixing the program so that it won’t hurt people so badly. They should be leaving it the hell alone and making people face the pain that it will cause. That’s how you work towards repeal…if the GOP really wants to do that. The problem is that they’re not patient. I give you the strategy for repeal in the podcast today.
Attorney General Eric Holder claims a “vast amount” of discretion in deciding what federal laws he enforces. This is tyranny, plain and simple.
After the Supreme Court struck down aggregate campaign finance limits by individual donors, the backlash is coming from both the left-wing fascists who hate political speech and the rich political donors who are worried about being shaken down by the politicians and parties who want more of their money. Of course, real campaign finance reform would be smaller government, because there would be no need to buy influence if politicians don’t have influence. Without influence, there would be less corruption, and maybe then 75% of Americans wouldn’t view politicians as corrupt.
The GOP Establishment’s pick for President in 2016, Jeb Bush, says that many criminal aliens are coming to the United States as an “act of love.”
Democrat Congressman Jim Moran claims that members of Congress are underpaid and can’t afford to live decently. That’s especially rich for a Congressman from northern Virginia, which is insanely expensive anyway.
A global warming alarmist says that it’s time to give up on saving the planet and instead just join the Matrix. Meanwhile, other “scientists” who haven’t given up yet are trying to come up with a cow that doesn’t fart.
A cop snatched away a man’s cell phone for recording his traffic stop, and the sheriff defended the cop’s actions. When I was a kid growing up, I was taught that the police are the good guys. I no longer believe that, especially when the cops have tanks at their disposal and a paranoid attitude. A 5-year-old kid learned the same lesson after an encounter with the police at the Air Force Museum in Ohio.
When the Democrats are trotting out that stupid and false statistic of women making only 77 cents per dollar that men make, you know they’re desperate. Of course, if they really cared they’d pay their women equally, but it’s always about this phony-baloney “War on Women.”
A Dallas IRS Office is filled with leftists acting like leftists, and another customer service representative with the IRS answered the phone with a re-elect Obama chant. If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention.
Lawmakers in Colorado have been disappointed so far in the low sales of recreational marijuana. Of course, they only care because they haven’t gotten as much money as they had hoped. It’s all about the tax dollars.
Rob Lowe has always been dreamy, but even more so hearing that he really just wants the government to stay out of almost everything.
This was horribly disappointing: Home-run king Hank Aaron compared Republicans who oppose Obama to the KKK.
Vandals in San Francisco are Smart Car-tipping. That just sounds like fun to me.
In news of the obvious, vegetarians are less healthy and have a lower quality of life than meat-eaters.
A British sniper killed 6 Taliban Islamist terrorists with a single shot. Awesome.
Historians in Spain claim that they have found the Holy Grail…in Spain. Looking at the picture of the cup they think is the Holy Grail, it is obvious that they learned nothing from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
A new dress turns transparent when the wearer is aroused. I love the future.
A man in the Philippines has died after accidentally shooting off his penis. No, this is not a double entendre. Yes, alcohol was involved.
Some experts say that an addiction to taking “selfies” can cause mental illness. I think they may have that backwards. Two idiots ran on the field at Yankee Stadium yesterday trying to take selfies. I agree with Adam Jones; taser them all.
A University of Connecticut sorority has been suspended for hazing men. The real problem is that they obviously didn’t put out afterwards.
Wearing socks with sandals is apparently fashionable now. No. Just no.
This Week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: The US-Russia fight has entered space. This wouldn’t be relevant if not for American decline and the fact that we can’t go to space on our own anymore.
