Nina Vinik is program director for the Gun Violence Prevention Program at the Joyce Foundation in Chicago. Not surprisingly, Ms. Vinik is a strong advocate of much stricter gun laws. Ms. Vinik has written a commentary about how to reduce gun violence, which was published in yesterday\’sMilwaukee Journal-Sentinel. In it, she cites four actions to be taken which, in her view...
President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry caved in to Iran on every major issue in their “deal”. And now, with the huge infusion of post-sanctions capital, it continues to chant “Death to America! Death to Israel”, tells us it absolutely refuses to open its military sites to nuclear inspections – which makes the deal worthless, since that is no doubt...
Sometimes you come across something so stupid that you have to post it, just to show that something this stupid actually exists. Here is what I am talking about: a video of pig wrestlers at a Utah county fair being protested by animal rights groups, then trying to stop a pig wrestling match. Watch the video, if you have the belly for it, and take special note of what happens at the...
Here are the first two paragraphs of Jonathan D. Salant\’s article in today\’s Newark Star-Ledger, about the dilemma Senator Cory Booker faces as he decides whether to vote for or against the nuclear “deal” cooked up by President Obama and John Kerry: WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Cory Booker faces a familiar dilemma: Side with President Obama or the pro-Israel community...
The Washington Post – certainly no enemy of abortion rights and no friend to the “pro-life” movement – has evaluated Planned Parenthood\’s “only 3% of what we do is abortions” claim… and found that, other than in a strictly technical sense, it is a hot steamy load of BS. You can read writer Ye Hee Lee\’s entire analysis by clicking...
This is by no means a final opinion – there is plenty of time before that evolves – but I have to say, the more I think about Carly Fiorino as a Vice Presidential nominee, the more I like the idea. I don\’t think of Ms. Fiorino as a Presidential candidate. While an extremely successful businessperson, she has neither political nor foreign policy...
Today\’s paragraphs of the day come to us from Abdallah Al-Hadlaq, arguably the bravest newspaper columnist in the Arab world. Why do I confer this designation on Mr. Al-Hadlaq? Because, in his August 1 column for Al-Watan, Kuwait\’s government-run daily newspaper, he wrote this: “To all those who think the Persian state (Iran), and the regime of the Rule of the...
Ken Berwitz What do you say about fabulously rich people who rail about fabulously rich people? That they\’re hypocrites, of course. But what do you say about fabulously wealthy heads of state who rail against personal wealth while accumulating tons of it on the backs of their people? We have known for years about yasir arafat, the terrorist murderer who headed the...
The Gallup poll\’s latest results have been released. And if they accurately reflect the mood of the country, there are a helluva lot of us agreeing with Iran\’s “Death to America!” crowd. Here are Mr. Obama\’s approval/disapproval ratings for a range of issues: Notice which one is at the bottom of the pack? As you may recall, President...
In the great movie, “On The Waterfront”, an investigative committee demands the records of the mob-run longshoreman\’s union. But it doesn\’t get them because the union big shots claim there was a robbery the night before, and the only thing stolen was the financial records. Moviegoers were supposed to be enraged by this obviously fraudulent...
As a lifelong New York Yankee fan, I would be remiss not to note that this a a particularly sad day in the team\’s history. On this date in 1995, the great hall of famer, Mickey Mantle, passed away. And on this date in 2007 we lost the great hall of famer, Phil Rizzuto. Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest legends in Yankee history – and this is a team with no...
Platte River Networks. Don\’t bother remembering the name, because you won\’t have to. You\’ll be hearing a lot about it in the coming days. Platte River Networks, you see, is the obscure little company in Denver which Hillary Clinton magically, mystically selected to handle her “private” emails – which, in reality, were the government-owned emails...
Excerpted from Peter Sullivan\’s article at thehill.com: The Obama administration has warned Louisiana and Alabama that they could be violating federal law by cutting off Planned Parenthood from their states\’ Medicaid programs. The Republican governors in both states this month terminated their state Medicaid contracts with the organization in the wake of controversial undercover...
Would it surprise you in the least to find out that the series of Planned Parenthood videos issued by a “pro-life” group, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) – 6 so far, with more to come – have been almost completely buried by mainstream media? What do I mean “almost completely buried”? In answer, I urge you to read Katie Yoder\’s...
As I type this (at 11:20AM) West Texas Intermediate oil is trading at $42.18 a barrel. That is the lowest WTI has traded at since February, 2009 (which also is the first full month Barack Obama was President, after which it zoomed up – make of this what you will). That is 31% lower than the $61.05 it was trading at on June 23, less than two months ago. In March, when WTI...
