Not all welfare recipients live high on the hog, but there are so many loopholes in how welfare works and how welfare recipients are looked at by Leftist bureaucrats that the abuses are in the billions. We’ve just learned that families on food stamps (E.B.T.) can now buy fresh crab

“The Hill” reports that Jon Corzine, “former CEO of MF Global, has given tens of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party in recent months, putting Democratic lawmakers in awkward positions ahead of Corzine’s subpoenaed appearance before a House committee next week.” Corzine has been involved in a multi-million dollar

“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Nancy Pelosi told “Talking Points Memo.” “When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for

Donald Trump knows how economies work. Yes, he’s arrogant and full of himself. So are a lot of people, but at least he does not let these character flaws get in the way of some very good work. His business acumen creates jobs. Obama is also arrogant and full of

Newt Gingrich made some media waves with his comments about how poor kids should be taught how to work, including taking jobs at the schools they attend to perform janitorial work. As usual, Poverty-Pimp Al Sharpton took offense. In case you haven’t heard Newt’s remarks, here are a few of

The Federal Government owns millions of acres, most of it in western states and Alaska. Here’s the breakdown: Nevada : 84.5% Alaska: 69.1% Utah: 57.4% Oregon: 53.1% Idaho: 50.2% Arizona: 48.1% California: 45.3% Wyoming: 42.3% New Mexico: 41.8% Colorado: 36.6% If this weren’t enough, plans have been in the making for even more land to be

A 2009 study is said to have showed that swearing might help to mute the pain of an injury. A new study claims the same result, both of which are a waste of time and money. “It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain,

Let’s get something straight. The only money that government has, it takes from people who work for a living. The only money government has to lend, it took from you and me. In a way, when these student loans are paid back, the money should go back to the people

Prohibition didn’t work, and neither does the “war on drugs.” Now McDonalds is teaching us that you can’t ban Happy Meals, even in San Francisco. The Happy Meal ban is the brainchild of the city where nearly everything is OK except what a person wants to eat. Men can engage

The market went up nearly 500 points! Why didn’t we pump money into the international markets years ago if this is all it takes to stimulate the stock market and calm the fears of investors? Question: Where did the money come from? Did it drop out of the sky? Did

If you listen to liberals, children are starving in America. Of course, such a claim is to evoke guilt from the overfed who, I guess, subliminally are being accused of stealing food from the mouths of hungry children. It seems, however, that all the stories I read are abut fat

“Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, author, critic, actor, civil rights activist, and prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America.” He’s a graduate of Harvard and currently teaches at Princeton University. In 2012 he will teach Religious Philosophy and Christian Practice at Union Theological

When someone has to use a teleprompter all the time, it’s because he doesn’t believe what he’s reading. The words are not his own. People who know and believe a certain way don’t need notes. You know they believe what they’re saying because the words roll of their tongue. There

Barney Frank is one of the most liberal and destructive members of Congress. America couldn’t get a better Christmas gift this year than to learn that he is not seeking re-election in 2012. It was his banking regulations that contributed to the economic mess that we are in today: The

Are Republicans stupid or weak? Maybe it’s a little bit of both. They’re certainly slow learners. Once Republicans secured a tax reduction, they should never let it go. I realize that the payroll tax holiday is a reduction in Social Security income that’s used to fund the bankrupt program, but

Few films are truly inspirational. I was channel surfing and came across a made-for-TV film that I had seen a few years ago. It was inspiring then, and it was inspiring again as my wife and I sat down this morning to watch it probably for the fifth time. We

A Georgia business owner has put up a sign that is causing some controversy. It reads: “New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.” The owner says that it’s nothing personal. It’s not attack on the President but on his policies. Bill Looman explained that he can’t

The first computer my company purchased in mid-1985 cost $7500. It was huge and could only perform a few simple tasks, mostly word processing, and even that wasn’t very good. The floppy disks were the size of dinner plates and held very little data (360K). If a disk was left
