The Huffington Post claims that it has found a way to reduce obesity — raise taxes on sugar, salt, and fat. “A simple tax could be a big tool in ending America’s obesity epidemic. Adding a 20-percent tax on sugar would cut Americans’ total caloric intake by 18 percent and

Lou Dobbs hosts “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on the Fox Business Network and is the author of the new book Upheaval: Winning Back the Country with Knowledge that Empowers, Ideas that Matter and Solutions that Work. Dobbs offers some good advice, for example, by following “a temperate foreign policy, a prudent

If you listen to Democrats, most Americans are working at jobs for minimum wage pay. It’s not even close to the truth. The Democrats are using the minimum wage debate as a way to garner sympathy for liberal causes and to paint Republicans as Scrooges. Let’s get real. Many adult

Bill de Blasio is the new Marxist mayor of New York City. He ran on the Marxist platform of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” as defined by the State who creates more needy and dependent people with every new law it passes to

The attack on Mitt Romney and his family because of a picture of their grandchildren that includes a black baby was relentless and morally reprehensible. Why the attacks? For liberals, the adoption of a black baby by conservatives is in itself racist. I noticed that one of the Romney grandchildren

Adolf Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jews. He failed. Now it looks like the Jews themselves could finish what Hitler started. Israel’s oldest daily newspaper Haaretz (‘The Land [of Israel]’) is reporting the following: “Israel will pay for abortions for women aged 20 to 33 regardless of circumstance starting next

One of my worst sins is procrastination. My wife and I are direct opposites in this area. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her procrastinate. She makes me really look bad. As a previous article of mine states, I’m a short-term pessimist but a long-term optimist. In this way, I’m

Adolf Hitler once walked here. Dead bodies were stepped over here. Cities were burned to a crisp here. The Berlin Wall once stood here. I’ve always described myself as a short term-pessimist but a long-term optimist. The long march of history shows that once great civilizations have collapsed into the

Establishment GOP candidates love to talk about reaching across the aisle to work with Democrats. Sen. John McCain is the most notorious advocate of this position. It never works. You would think that McCain would understand how compromise does not work. Being a prisoner of war should have taught him

I’m minding my own business, watching segments of the Breaking Bad Marathon on AMC while taking notes for several writing projects, and all of a sudden I hear something familiar. It’s Bryan Cranston plugging his new Broadway play “All the Way” ((The political slogan at the time was “All the

A PSA is a Public Service announcement. A&E is going to run a series of PSAs in response to the flak it’s gotten from the pro-homosexual advocacy group GLAAD because the network reinstated Phil Robertson. Robertson, you may recall, made some graphic but accurate remarks about same-sex sex without ever

NY Magazine is reporting that “Before she was married to New York City public advocate and Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio, Chirlane McCray was a lesbian. “ How is this possible? “Once gay, always gay.” Isn’t this what we’ve always heard? “I was born that way. . .  Homosexuality

A Christian professor of philosophy posted the following: “Phil is back on a meaningless show. The Republic is saved.” It’s been said that “culture is upstream from politics.” Duck Dynasty is not high culture, but it’s become the flashpoint of what’s been lacking among conservatives. Not only are the schools,

When I first heard this story, I thought it was some nutty environmentalist. Maybe some tree hugger was upset with Sarah Palin because she and her family chapped down an oxygen-giving evergreen conifer only to burn it a few weeks later with the result that the gasses would end up

Donations and corporate shakedowns must be at an all time low at Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition offices. He’s back in the news looking for the spotlight so he can rev up black discontent and outrage because of what some white guy said about his perceptions of what it was

We could save a lot of money and political angst by just appointing judges to make laws for us. We’re already at that point that our lives have been turned over to five unelected people sitting on the Supreme Court. “Let it be written . . . Let it be

Controlling the language is a big part of winning the cultural war. Social Security, Affordable Care Act, Department of Homeland Security, Patriot Act. The list could go on, but you get the idea. Make forced government programs run by millions of government employees with billions of dollars behind them sound

Good news on the Phil Robertson front: No apologies and no backing down. It seems that every time some conservative or Christian stands for something publicly, he or she gets beaten down by the media. Inevitably, there’s an apology. Look, if you say something that’s true, there’s nothing to apologize
