Here are some very thoughtful editorial comments from Kim Strassel and the Wall Street Journal from earlier today, in which the argument is made that President Obama certainly played a large role in the current IRS scandal. And, he did this not by instructing or ordering his bureaucrats to follow a specific plan, but by publicly attacking the various conservative political groups at every opportunity. He and Vice President Biden, Read More »

We are dealing with a modern-day Nixon.
The IRS just admitted to targeting and intimidating conservative and Tea Party groups. But why? The answer- the IRS thought a quick apology and throwing a few “low level employees” under the bus could nip it in the bud and make it all go away. They’re wrong. This will be one of the biggest scandals in U.S. political history- if the media does their Read More »

Louis Brandeis, who served on the United States Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, once warned, “Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”

So stated political consultant and media commentator Richard Grenell on Saturday’s Fox News Watch (video follows with transcript and commentary):

History is one of our greatest teachers.
It’s just too bad so many of our young people think history started with the death of Princess Di or the birth of the iPhone.
I was painfully reminded of America’s historical illiteracy and the failure of our educational system last week while golfing with a few strangers in Burbank, Calif.
One of the young men in my foursome was about 30 and ran a restaurant Read More »

Here finally are some factual details about gun homicides in the U.S. from Pew Research. And, you would think that these statistics would be good news for all those involved in the recent hype and uproar about gun violence in our country. But, no, as usual the media has chosen to ignore these recent statistics, as they apparently do not dovetail nicely with their liberal leaning tendencies and the Read More »

There is a new campaign to end austerity. First, the IMF lets it be known it has second thoughts about it; then we are told the threshold of 90% government debt to GDP which must not be crossed, set by Professors Reinhart & Rogoff, is based on an excel spread-sheet error. Lastly, Bill Gross of PIMCO, the largest bond fund in the world, tells us austerity is not working.

I don’t think USA Today was trying to be funny here, but this made me giggle a bit when I read it:
President Obama is turning back to the jobs issue, launching a series of “Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tours” starting Thursday with an appearance in Texas.
Obama will visit growing areas “to learn what has helped them become successful and use these models of growth Read More »
