The United States of Trump
Trump is right about one thing. The public is sick of traditional politicians who make promises but don't deliver, while driving up the debt and lining their pockets. But whose fault is that?

A Tale of Two Tapes: Teen Cruz and Terror-Coddler Obama
The crack media buzzed this week with the discovery of a totally front-page, news-breaking, breathtaking videotape GOP presidential candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, CNN reported, was caught on camera confessing how he "sought 'world domination.'" Gasp! This is something voters need to know.

Dollars for Hostages, Negotiating with Terrorist Iranian Regime
Every American should be glad that American hostages have been freed by the tyrannical Iranian regime and are being reunited with family, friends and co-workers. Less satisfying is the return of Iran's $400 million trust fund, used to buy military equipment, which was frozen in 1979, along with its diplomatic relations with the U.S. (plus what President Obama ludicrously called "appropriate…
The Establishment's Irrational Fear of Ted Cruz

Arlene Barnum, a surviving passenger in the vehicle, told authorities and the media that they had been forced off the road by a carload of "angry young black men" after Hervey, while wearing his Confederate kepi, stopped at a convenience store en route to his home in Oxford, Mississippi.…
Leftists In Academia See Bigots Under Every Rock
Remember when universities used to encourage freedom of academic inquiry and were seen as intellectual and social preparation for the transition into adulthood? I know; that was a long time ago — before the left infected these institutions.

Powerball's Biggest Winner Was and Always Will Be Big Government
