I Miss Bill Clinton
There were a lot of things wrong with the presidency of Bill Clinton. I would have much rather preferred a second term of Bush 41. But comparing the Obama presidency to Clinton’s accomplishments of the 1990s, and it’s easy to

History will never be able to tell us who made the fatal error in New York’s 9th district – Barack Obama, or Anthony Weiner. Just as Weiner kept on making critical errors every step of the way as his personal
This was going to be just one post on how great Hollywood has done with the 9/11 coverage and specials. But people on the left had to ruin it because Hollywood didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to take swipes
From the Associated Press: A federal appeals court in Virginia dismissed two lawsuits Thursday that had challenged the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in both
The Palestinians’ decision to place the issue of the establishment of a Palestinian state before the United Nations for a vote next month repudiates of the principles of the 1993 Oslo peace framework, through which the Palestinian Authority was formed
ATLANTA (AP) – A federal appeals court panel on Friday struck down the requirement in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul package that virtually all Americans must carry health insurance or face penalties. The divided three-judge panel of the 11th
At FreedomFest in July, Reason’s Matt Welch talked with political consultant and Fox News contributor Dick Morris about the school choice movement. Morris argues that past reforms – such as increased spending, changes in curriculum, and standardized testing, have failed
The White House came out in support of a bill that would overturn the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that was originally signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
“The incubation period of the opera (Nixon In China) was rife with serious second-thoughts, by no less than Adams (the composer) himself, who initially resisted the proposal made by Peter Sellars (the director), a progressively radical director whose idea the
A wealth manager, appropriately enough, once told me that when it came to life, information came in three categories: What you know, what you don’t know, and what you don’t know that you don’t know. It is the last category
The United States has been on a decade-long spending binge. Thanks to the profligate policies of both Bush and Obama, the burden of federal spending has climbed to about 25 percent of economic output, up from 18.2 percent of GDP
Cliff Kincaid of America’s Survival sponsored another incredible forum, June 28, 2011, at the National Press Club. The forum discussed communists, terrorists and Cuban agents of influence working within our borders, and demanded the removal of Attorney General Eric Holder.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) was released from jail on his own recognizance on Friday, after being jailed and confined for six weeks, thanks to sexual assault charges by a chambermaid. However, now the prosecutor, Cyrus Vance, is indicating that the accuser,
This transcends “thrill up my leg”.
NPR’s Nina Totenberg joins the ranks of feminists who are prostituting themselves – excuse me, sex worker-ing themselves – for Weiner. On Friday’s Inside Washington, Totenberg had the utter gall to spew the following drivel: NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: I finally
Judicial Watch’s mission is, in part, to advocate high standards of ethics and morality in our nation’s public life. The Anthony Weiner scandal is but the latest example of how these standards of ethics and morality are so lacking. Our
Seriously, I’m getting really tired of all the comments accusing my articles of being satirical. Cut it out. It’s not funny and you cannot defend the indefensible. I’m pressing on anyway with my plan for fixing America. Foreclosures The housing
There are many peculiar aspects of the Anthony Weiner uproar. Take for instance Anthony’s hairless pectoral picture with the family photos in the background; Weiner holding up a “Me” sign in front of himself in another picture where a framed
BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com have reported throughout the morning about the emergence of new details in the Weinergate saga, after a young woman came forward with new information that tends to undermine severely the theory that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was

When Arnold Schwarzenegger burst onto the political scene a couple of decades ago, he was a Republican pol’s dream: an icon of mostly liberal Hollywood willing to admit he had conservative convictions. But in the ensuing years, Schwarzenegger trampled on

There is a lot of factually inaccurate information out on the Internet and Bill Clinton doesn’t like it. He also has a solution. If you guessed that it would be to encourage more speech out there to counter it then
Bill Clinton wants the government to “correct” what you say on the Internet, folks. Should the government listen to the former panderer-in-chief, we’ll go from Big Brother to Big Bubba on the ol’ Internet tubes. Bubba is not happy with
I tuned in for the first GOP debate held in South Carolina. Everyone did fine. I laughed, I cried, and had some chicken nuggets. A few at the podiums were more polished than others. Pawlenty seemed to distance himself from
Whenever I post about Islamization, cultural enrichment, and the suppression of free speech in Europe, commenters are likely to remark on the difference between Europe and the United States. “Europe is lost,” they say. Or: “We’re lucky things aren’t this
I agree with Pete King that Eric Holder must resign. This should not be a revelation to anyone who has paid attention to Holder’s record. Holder should never have been confirmed as AG in the first place. As I testified
Just days after the introduction of a very good plan by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, leaders from the Republican Study Committee in the House of Representatives have introduced an even better plan. In a previous post, I
Barack Obama really knows how to pick them. It’s not often that one person plays key roles in two — count ’em, two — trillion-dollar disasters but Jamie Gorelick is one. She helped to bring us 9/11 and the collapse
The Obama administration’s handling of the Libyan crisis has been characterized by complacency, confusion and inaction. While the American public, the international community and the Libyan “rebels” have waited patiently for clear directives, prior to today’s military strike, the administration
A large number of Democrats voted with Republicans in the House yesterday to pass a two-week spending bill that includes $4 billion in cuts compared to what Obama requested. This is a modest victory for the GOP since they can
Our continued annual deficits of over $1.5 trillion will eventually destroy our economy and consume our liberty. We must deal with this crisis now. The Left says that the rich need to pay more, that more taxes will solve the
“We know way too much about Bill Clinton,” and that’s why–as charismatic as he may be–the former president just isn’t glamorous. So says Virginia Postrel, Editor-in-chief of DeepGlamour.net and columnist for The Wall Street Journal. Postrel, formerly the editor of
America faces a fiscal crisis. The burden of federal spending has doubled during the Bush-Obama years, a $2 trillion increase in just 10 years. But that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Because of demographic changes and poorly designed
This well-known political figure gave a speech before a group of intellectuals and proclaimed that the world must function “as a family.” Can you guess who delivered it? The answer will probably surprise you. Some excerpts: Almost 20 years ago
President Obama unveiled his fiscal year 2012 budget today, and there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that there’s no major initiative such as the so-called stimulus scheme or the government-run healthcare proposal. The bad news, though,
Proponents of higher taxes are fond of claiming that Bill Clinton’s 1993 tax increase was a big success because of budget surpluses that began in 1998. That’s certainly a plausible hypothesis, and I’m already on record arguing that Clinton’s economic
Prepare to be outraged. When government officials pitched the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “bailouts” to the American people, we were told the purpose of this “taxpayer investment” was to bring solvency to two institutions that were simply “too big
Many of the politicians in Washington, including President Obama during his State-of-the-Union address, piously tell us that there is no way to balance the budget without tax increases. Trying to get rid of red ink without higher taxes, they tell
Following a funeral Mass in Potomac, Md. where he was eulogized by Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and others, Sargent Shriver was buried in a private service alongside his wife at a cemetery in Barnstable, Mass.
