William Goldman, not to be confused with William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, sums up the problem that studios have of attempting to be certain about the success of a film — “Nobody knows anything.”1 Goldman should know. He is a successful novelist and screenwriter with several Academy

Vanderbilt Professor Carol Swain has been beset with protesters calling for her resignation since January of 2015 when she made remarks about Islam and its terrorist elements when Muslims attacked and murdered members of the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris. “In The Tennessean, Swain wrote that the [January 2015] Paris attacks show

When Pope Francis speaks, liberals listen, except when it’s about abortion and same-sex marriage, unless, of course, he spouts liberal talking points. His latest comments are about the poor. “The Gospel does not condemn the wealthy, but the idolatry of wealth, the idolatry that makes people indifferent to the call

I generally like Brit Hume. But over the weekend, I believe he got it wrong in opposing Obama regarding his promise to use an Executive Order to implement amnesty. Here’s what Hume said: “It’s a total blunder to try that, because if the President were to veto the bill, a

Elbert Guillory shows how it should be done. He tells it like it is in Louisiana when it comes to Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu. Will black voters listen? It seems that most Republicans are afraid to take a position and offer a clear alternative to the leftist agenda. They’re hoping

The first book I read by Thomas Sowell was Knowledge and Decisions (1980).It’s a dense book, but it is filled with so many interesting stories, facts, and analogies that it’s worth taking the time to plow through it. The story about Walt Disney and his early art is filled with

Oprah Winfrey is going to do a reality show on Michael Sam. It seems that Oprah is more interested in sexual perversion than helping her fellow blacks in the areas of education and jobs. Oprah is a billionaire. By some estimates, she’s the richest African American woman in the world.

You don’t often hear interview subjects challenging prominent journalists about their ex-wives and other peccadilloes. But that’s what happened on Monday’s CBS This Morning. Reporter Anthony Mason interviewed Kiss singer and guitarist Paul Stanley on the band’s entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Mason quizzed, ‘And when

Google has accused WND (formerly WorldNetDaily) of using “hate speech” for the site’s use of black mobs in its articles on black violence. “The world’s most powerful Internet search engine has accused WND of using ‘hate speech’ and has threatened to block ads on the news site over its use

We’re still hearing how global warming is killing the planet, even though more studies show that humans have nothing to do with changes planetary temperatures. It’s gotten so bad that falling temperatures are being used as evidence of rising temperatures. Pseudoscience is the new normal. We’ve seen this type of

Where among Asian Americans do we find anything comparable to the race hustlers in the black community? Where are the Asian versions of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? How many Asian Americans are there in Congress pushing for a specific Asian carve out for appropriations? If there are any, we

Movie actor George Clooney had this to say about ObamaCare: “People keep talking about how this has to be a great negotiation, but there isn’t any negotiating a law. We negotiate on all these other topics, but this was put into law, and [Obama] was reelected on it. It was

The answer of who’s to blame for the government shutdown is easy if you know the Constitution and the facts. It’s hard if you are unfamiliar with the Constitution and aren’t getting the facts. Knowledge of the Constitution is almost non-existent since it’s not taught in most schools. Nancy Pelosi

You can always tell when someone is losing an argument. He or she resorts to personal attacks and outrageous rhetoric. More often than not the tactic works since the general public is used to arguing in the same way. California Democrat congressman George Miller repeatedly accused his GOP colleagues of

Bill O’Reilly stepped in it the other day when he called those in opposition to homosexual marriage and who use the Bible to make their case Bible Thumpers. This is typical of O’Reilly. Christians who oppose same-sex sex don’t just “thump the Bible.” Do Christians just “thump the Bible” when

John Stossel has been a consistent spokesman for free market economics. Thomas Sowell recommends Stossel’s latest book No, They Can’t! as a great Christmas gift. I agree. “It is written with a light touch, but gets across some pretty heavy stuff about economics. The title is a take-off on Obama’s

Appearing on MSNBC’s Now with Alex Wagner, former White House advisor Van Jones said even if President Obama came out as a homosexual he would not lose any support among black voters. Even though a majority of blacks oppose homosexual behavior and homosexual marriage, they will still vote for President

Al Sharpton is known as a “professional poverty pimp” and a “race hustler,” to use the phrase coined by economist Walter E. Williams. Sharpton sells poverty to the highest bidder. For the past 30 years that’s been the Democrats. He tells his fellow-Blacks that if they vote for Democrats, life
