As thugs have been burning, beating, and stealing their way through London, citizens of that disarmed society had little to defend themselves with as the police were completely overwhelmed.

I have the utmost respect for police officers and the work they do, but they cannot be everywhere at once, especially in the...

To say that Justin Elliott of Salon.com has it out for Rick Perry is an understatement.

Last month I focused on Elliott’s fruitless attempt to paint Perry as a neo-confederate by association.  Now Elliott is trying to paint Perry as, get this, both...

Yes, you are celebrating.  But the Wisconsin Senate recall elections are not over.

Republicans have a chance to deliver a political coup de grâce to the national union and Democratic intimidation tactics next Tuesday when there are two elections seeking to recall Democratic State Senators Robert Wirch and James Holperin.  These two were...

… who said the Tea Party was a bunch of violent extremists, that Kloppenburg would beat Prosser, and the Dems would take back the Wisconsin Senate?

Why so skeptical?  They have journalism degrees, and you don’t.

Obama plays with fire with his relentless class warfare. It tears at the seams which hold a country together.

Demonizing the “top 2%” and claiming they don’t “pay their fair share” is not harmless when it is the singular focus of one’s political strategy. Isolating “corporate jet owners”...
