President Magoo Obama by Taylor Jones, Politicalcartoons.com

By Jack Kneafsey

This question posed by an editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal goes right to the heart of the way this country is being managed, or, in most cases, being mismanaged by this President. As we are seeing from the recent outbreak of political scandals, the White House’s defense is that they are disavowing all knowledge of any of these incidents. And, shockingly, their defense is that they just weren’t aware, Read More »

How to Get the US Economy Going Again

Posted on May 24th, 2013
Solution Puzzle

By Hugo Salinas Price

I am reading a great deal of alarming information regarding impending economic collapse in the US.

I feel sure that most of the predictions I read are based on facts, and ought to scare the living daylights out of all readers.

What I fail to see is an explanation of the causes of this terrible, atrocious situation in which the US economy finds itself.

Let me cut through all the dire warnings Read More »

The Fleecing Has Only Begun

America’s intersection banks and Wall street by David Fitzsimmons, The Arizona Star

By Andy Sutton, Chief Market Strategist, Sutton & Associates, LLC

The story broke from nowhere and caught many off guard. To others it was the manifestation of previously unspoken fears. It was, and is, by far the biggest story of 2013, the decade, and quite possibly the millennium. It was the crossing of another Rubicon. For years and decades, the financial piranhas had wandered around the edges, nibbling a little here and a Read More »

Obama Tosses a Grenade into His Own Dugout

Freedom of the Pressed Obama by Christopher Weyant, The Hill

By Geoffrey P. Hunt

Remember president Obama’s first pitch of the MLB 2010 season at the Washington Nationals ballpark? It sailed towards the home team dugout.

While he couldn’t throw a baseball within ten feet of home plate — even if it took a double bounce on the way in — Obama has tossed perfect incendiary strikes inside his own clubhouse, sending his entire team to the disabled list, demoted to the minor leagues, Read More »

Nixon Obama in the White House by Adam Zyglis, The Buffalo News

By Jack Kneafsey

I thought you would find these comments from Carl Cannon rather interesting, as he compares President Obama’s mindset with that of President Nixon. Carl is the son of Lou Cannon, a very well-respected reporter for the Washington Post a number of years ago, and who provided his readers at that time with great reporting during the Nixon Years.

Unfortunately, we don’t have permission for a full republishing of all his comments, so Read More »

It’s Harvest Time in Washington

Obama transforms into Nixon by Daryl Cagle, CagleCartoons.com

By Susan Stamper Brown

Not even Barack Obama can defy the laws of physics.

Certain things are absolute. As Newton said, what goes up must come down. The wrinkles you see staring back at you in the mirror validate the second law of thermodynamics: eventually things fall apart. And, as any farmer will tell you, if you plant cucumbers in the spring, no matter how hard you try, you will never reap watermelons Read More »

A Fictional Interview With Barack Obama About The IRS Scandal, AP Phone Records And Benghazi

Posted on May 22nd, 2013
Obama on Benghazi by Eric Allie, Caglecartoons

By Michael Synder

Does Barack Obama have any idea what is going on in the government that he is supposedly running?  Scandals are erupting all around him, and he supposedly was not aware that any wrongdoing had taken place in any of those instances.  It is almost as if every major government agency has gone rogue and Obama has no idea what the heck they are doing.  According to Obama, he often doesn’t Read More »

Is the GOP at Fault for Obamacare Train Wreck?

Obamacare Train Wreck by Larry Wright, CagleCartoons.com

By David Catron

The “news” media once again demonstrate their talent for fiction.

There’s a scene in the 1993 film, The Fugitive, in which Harrison Ford outruns a derailed locomotive in order to avoid being killed. In the real world, of course, he would have been crushed like a bug. Thus, one is required to suspend one’s disbelief in order to enjoy it. But it was, after all, fiction. In this respect, it has Read More »

Politicizing Junior High Literature

History scores education by Mike Keefe, Cagle Cartoons

By Peter Wilson

Forty-five states have adopted the Common Core State Standards, including the New York State Education Department, which publishes a document titled, “Grades 6-8 English Language Arts Curriculum Map.” Four texts are specified for each year, or 12 books.

The idea of a core curriculum is appealing to conservatives, who imagine replacing the current multicultural smorgasbord with a great books course that communicates the adventure and drama of human experience. In Read More »

Obama and the IRS: The Smoking Gun?

Nixon’s Ghost Obama by David Fitzsimmons, The Arizona Star

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Here again is another example of well-done investigative reporting by Jeffrey Lord for The American Spectator, which is a follow-up to yesterday’s article entitled “The Liberal Union Behind the IRS” Today’s commentary postulates whether this meeting of the anti-Tea-Party IRS union chief and President Obama at the White House on the day before the IRS agency started targeting the Tea Party and others,  actually discussed and implemented their political Read More »
