One of the missing elements of the Aurora, Colorado, shooting spree was the apartment of James Holmes. There is an abundant amount of news coverage describing how it was wired with explosives. The first person who entered the room would have been killed. The police need to be commended for

The new Batman film is getting a lot of attention. The Obama regime was hoping to play off Batman’s movie nemesis Bane because it sounds like Romney’s Bain Capital. Now we learn that the film is more about the Occupy Wall Street Crowd. I’ll have to take you back to

What Mitt Romney paid or did not pay in taxes is none of our business. He’s been filing with the IRS for more than 40 years. If he was doing something illegal, he would have been caught a long time ago. Carl Bernstein, co-author of All the President’s Men, asked

Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker of Star Wars fame and the voice of the Joker in the animated batman series, is attacking Mitt Romney because the guy’s a capitalist. Hamill’s net worth is around $6 million. This makes him rich, even by inflationary standards. Then there’s The Avengers director Joss Whedon

For a number of years we’ve been hearing about the dreadful Law of the Sea Treaty, appropriately named LOST. It looks like the 2010 election scuttled attempts to make this horrendous treaty the law. We can thank Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) for leading the way on opposition to it as

The best way to know what something costs is to pay for it. One of the first things a debt counselor will tell someone in debt is to cut up the credit cards and pay cash for everything. One of the reasons healthcare prices are out of control is because

The concept “social justice” means different things to different people. Justice is often equated with social equality, a mistaken notion if there ever was one. In looking for a helpful way to explain the meaning of justice, baseball comes to mind. Rarely are teams equal in ability. This is especially

What is the first principle of economics? Some economists will claim that it’s supply and demand, while others insist that it’s scarcity or the division of labor. The first principle of economics is “thou shalt not steal.” Economics is ethical before it is practical. Almost all modern definitions of economics,

There was a time when there were standards for getting food stamps (now EBT cards). The food stamp program was designed to help families with the necessities. You couldn’t buy anything you want with food stamps. When my oldest son worked at a grocery store, he was indignant when a

On December 18, 1956, Clayton Heermance, a.k.a. Bud Collyer, landed what would become his most successful game-show hosting job ever — ToTell The Truth. The show had three contestants who claimed to be the same person and a panel of four celebrity questioners who tried to determine which one was

President Obama has decreed that he is going to tax people who make over $250,000 at a higher rate than people making less, and millions of people are OK with it. How did we get to the place when elected officials can tax American citizens at disproportionate rates to pay

I didn’t say it. Morgan Freeman said it. In an interview with NPR to promote his latest film, The Magic of Belle Isle, the popular Oscar-winning actor said that people “conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America There

Should a black person vote for a black person because he’s black? Should an Italian get your vote because you’re Italian? Should a wounded war vet get your vote because of his wounds and “hero”. ((I believe the word “hero” is overused. Even sport stars are described as heroes.)) List

A very wise businessman friend of mine explained how he went about deciding whether he would hire someone for his business. “Ask the prospective client for three references. You know that you’re going to show you only the good ones. When he shows you the references, then ask for the

President Barack Obama told an Ohio campaign crowd that the outcome of the November election will determine the nation’s economic future for the next 10 to 20 years. I wholeheartedly agree. If he gets elected, America’s economic future will be a disaster for the next 10 or 20 years and

Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana, is a Muslim. He wants government (public) schools to follow Islamic teachings and methods: “America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the

Liberals continue to disparage the greatness of America while taking advantage of everything that is great about America. In many cases liberals work overtime to overturn what is great about America and support political candidates who propose laws that are designed to unravel the very principles that made the United

I don’t like whiners. I don’t like to hear someone say in a whiney voice, “I can’t do it” or “It’s too hard.” This is what I hear from Sen. Mitch McConnell as he explains why it’s going to be difficult to overturn ObamaCare. While McConnell says he’ll do whatever
