"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964

Dennis Miller on Gender Neutral Restrooms

Bob Ellis

I love Dennis Miller. He isn't as conservative as I'd like, but we see eye to eye on most of the important stuff. His appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show was pretty good, until he got to the discussion of the nutty idea of gender-neutral bathrooms, then it became hilarious. I normally try to steer clear of scatological humor, but if we're going to go down this asinine path as a society (as it seems the homosexual activists and their "useful idiots" seem intent on taking us), then there are some serious (though funny at times) issues we really need to consider.

High-mileage vehicles not allowed in US

Dr. Theo

The video explains the difference in passenger car mileage between European countries and the US. I had heard from friends that travel regularly in Europe that European cars typically get higher mileage than comparable US automobiles, but I had no idea how much or why. I figured it probably had to do with government regulations and air quality demands. It’s much worse than that.

Will Boehner Blow His Bluff?

Robert Romano

Here we go again. Speaking to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation 2012 Fiscal Summit on May 15 , House Speaker John Boehner once again called for offsetting spending cuts in return for increasing the $16.394 trillion debt ceiling later this year. This follows the failed attempt in 2011 to do precisely the same thing.

Bullying a Country

David Bozeman

The "mainstream" media is all aghast at a childhood bullying incident of MItt Romney's, but the real bullies in America exist primarily in government and primarily on the left. One could fill volumes recounting liberal Democrats kicking sand at the little people to gain and maintain power. Government, just by its nature, resembles a schoolyard bully, exerting its power through judicial fiat, often nullifying the will of the people, and then there are unelected bureaucrats, regulators and executive orders — some compatible with liberty, many not.

California High Speed Rail Derails Fiscal Sanity

Rebekah Rast

There is a lot a state like California could do with $3.5 million a day. At the top of the list should be telling the federal government no to an expensive and unnecessary train and instead getting its fiscal house in order. You would think Californians would want off this train before it’s even built and further derails its economy.

Investigation: Non-Citizens, Dead Citizens Voting and Fraud Acceptable in NC Elections.

Bob Ellis

This video reveals more great work from Project Veritas. We have already seen a white guy get access to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's election ballot. Now James O’Keefe and crew show us on-camera: non-citizens being offered ballots dead people being offered ballots, voter identification being discouraged by election officials, and people admitting to voting several times in several locations. Isn't it wonderful to have elected officials "representing" us and ensuring our elections are fair and not like those in banana republics?

Politics As Usual?

Michael Day

The United States of America can't do much worse than Obama. That said, whether you vote Democrat or Republican, you are voting for politics as usual. What we've been getting for a long, long time is lip service, empty words, just plain lies; thinking we can save the whole world, spending irresponsibly beyond our means; no accountability to ethics, the law or the Constitution; government intrusion into every aspect of our private lives… politics as usual. Politics as usual will be the death of America.

Wind Energy Running Out of Air

Guest Author

The wind energy industry has been having a hard time. The taxpayer funding that has kept it alive for the last twenty years is coming to an end, and those promoting the industry are panicking. Despite twenty years of taxpayer funding, says the Financial Times, “Most of these technologies are unable to stand on their own commercially, particularly in competition with a resurgent natural gas industry that has created a supply glut and driven prices to 10-year lows.” The WSJ opines: “the tax subsidy has sustained the industry on a scale that wouldn’t have been possible if they had to follow the same rules as everyone else.”

Water Threats from the Communist Enemies of Freedom

Gina Miller

What better way to control citizens of a country than to control the water supply? What better way to control the countries of the world than to control the seas? We have two stories in our face this week that are seemingly unrelated, yet at the same time, they both represent the anti-American, anti-freedom, dictatorial advancement of tyranny. A nation’s water supply is one thing, and the seas and oceans of the world are another.

When the Information was Wrong: The Inaccurate Public Conviction of George Zimmerman

Carrie K. Hutchens

While we can't take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter. Turns out that, Zimmerman, the "white Hispanic", is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so -- he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was.

Providence Has Given to our People the Choice of their Rulers

William J. Federer

The first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court was the president of the American Bible Society. Who was he? John Jay, who died MAY 17, 1829. A member of the Continental Congress, even serving as its president, John Jay signed the Treaty of Paris with Franklin and Adams, ending the Revolutionary War. The Treaty begins: "In the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity." Jay helped ratify the Constitution by writing the Federalist Papers with Madison and Hamilton.

Pro-Lifers Win First Amendment Victory in Sioux Falls

Newswire

Last week, a citation for unlawful assembly against the pro-life advocacy group Missionaries to the Preborn was dismissed. The Milwaukee-based group conducts pro-life advocacy throughout the Midwest, and encountered trouble at their event in Sioux Falls. Police cited Jason Storms, one of approximately 50 pro-life advocates engaged in outreach and education along a public street in the city. The citation relied on a city ordinance requiring a permit for groups of 10 or more persons engaged in public assembly.

Rejecting Non-Existent Austerity

Bill Wilson

By mainstream media accounts, the presidential election in France and parliamentary elections in Greece on May 6 were overwhelming verdicts against “austerity” measures being implemented in Europe. There is only one problem. It is a lie. First off, austerity was never really tried.

Rep. West: History Teaches Us About Islam

Bob Ellis

As usual, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) pulls no punches at the Reclaim American Liberty Conference. He indicates that Islam, its goals and methods aren't hard to figure out. It's been doing essentially the same thing since the 7th Century when it was founded, not so much as a simple religion but what he calls a "theo-political belief system." Since the days of its founder Mohammed, Islam has been a belief system built on conquest.

The Rapid City flood: There were thousands of stories to be told

Gordon Garnos

It was a Friday night, June 9, 1972. The Rapid City Flood was the fifth worst flood in American history. Two hundred and thirty-eight people lost their lives. Another 3,000 were injured. Many were saved. And the lives of everyone involved were changed for ever. Thousands of stories came out of that flood. Here's mine.
