‘To Stop the Multiplication of the Unfit’ by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 If you aren’t creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren’t listening closely enough. The anesthetic of progressive benevolence always dulls the senses. Wake up. When a bunch of wealthy [...]

Illegal activity

Photoshop credit: VVM The Right twittersphere has been buzzing for the past week about planned ambushes of CPAC 2012, the annual gathering of conservatives in D.C., by the Occupier mob. The conference kicks off today and every major Republican speaker has a giant target on his/her back — because every fame-seeker, troll, Michael Moore wannabe, [...]

**Written by Doug Powers What’s a week without more suspicious Solyndra news? This should be enough to get us by until the inevitable almost weekly document dump that could come tomorrow. From the Washington Times: Fast running out of money, solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC last summer sold off nearly $60 million worth of inventory for [...]

She wasn’t kidding

The People’s President is raising money any way he can — and the fashion world’s 1 percent-ers have stepped up to the plate to help. Via the WSJ: At a New York fund-raising event Tuesday called “Runway to Win,” President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign plans to begin selling campaign-themed tote bags, T-shirts and accessories designed [...]

AFP commemorates the 101st anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth with a Reagan 101 tutorial contrasting the polar opposite visions of Reagan and Obama:

Have you heard about the latest overwrought tempest in a P.C. teapot on this post-Super Bowl Monday morning? It’s over Michigan Republican Pete Hoekstra’s “insensitive” Senate campaign ad using an Asian-American actress portraying a Chinese worker gloating over incumbent Dem. Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s big spending habits. Watch: Black ministers and Asian activists have decried the [...]

If it’s Friday, it’s another White House dump day. Cue the dump truck horn: Doot! Doot! Doot! While Obama sycophants are busy trumpeting deceptive jobs numbers, the administration is quietly moving forward with job-killing Obamacare regs and taxes. The IRS today released rules to impose the $20 billion Obamacare medical device tax scheduled to take [...]

Jim Moran, racist pig by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Congressman Jim Moran is an old white Democrat from Virginia who thinks he can judge whether we minority conservatives are acting sufficiently non-white enough. Moran’s an inveterate bully, a brawler, a crook and a bigot. And not one of his civility-preaching liberal colleagues has [...]

**Written by Doug Powers This week the First Lady told an audience at a fundraiser that the economy has made “remarkable progress” these past three years. One example of a hiring spree uptick can be found in New York City, where a couple hundred workers have been or are being added to the payrolls due [...]

My latest column examines the Obama administration’s continuing war on religious health care professionals, which I spotlighted when the ACLU first launched its salvo against Catholic hospitals in 2010. What’s noteworthy now is the united front that Catholic bishops (who have traditionally taken big government positions) are now taking against the Obamacare abortion edict. Better [...]

Off-the-rails funding options

Back in November, I spotlighted Obama’s half-billion-dollar crony drug deal involving a no-bid contract with politically-connected SIGA. Refresher course here. In November, Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill — chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Contracting and Oversight and up for re-election in less than a year — asked HHS to review the contract. Last week, the [...]

Book-Critic-in-Chief takes issue

Obama’s Green Robber Barons by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Had enough of fat cat Barack Obama, his jet-setting wife and his multi-millionaire Chicago consigliere/real-estate mogul Valerie Jarrett attacking the “rich”? Well, brace yourselves. You’ll be hearing much more from the White House about the “wealthy few” who aren’t paying their “fair share” as [...]

**Written by Doug Powers In spite of the fact that even Warren Buffett is unsure what the “Buffett Rule” is, President Obama, fully aware that the US tax code is in dire need of more ambiguity, will push for it in his State of the Union speech tonight. Just to hammer home the point, Buffett’s [...]

As we prepare to watch President Obama lambaste Republicans for obstructionism in his State of the Union address tonight, remember: Today marks 1000 days since the Senate last passed a full budget. Pass it on: From the Heritage Foundation, things that were accomplished in less than 1,000 days…and things that were not: From my friends [...]

Photo credit: ProtestShooter, from last year’s March for Life celebration Today marks the 39th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. As I note every year, it has become an annual ritual to watch the national media and liberal commentariat strain to ignore or marginalize the burgeoning movement of increasingly young and minority activists taking [...]
