Obama’s Jim Crow Education System

In his speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s march on Washington, President Obama hypocritically bemoaned the current state of education, saying that many Americans face a "fortress of substandard schools and diminished prospects." He claimed that such schools were "underfunded" and that every child has a "right ... to get an education that stirs the mind and captures the spirit and prepares them for the world that awaits them."

Obama: Back to the Racist Future

America is enduring an ever-increasing spiral of heinous black-on-white violence. Less than a week after 22-year-old Australian baseball player Christopher Lane was allegedly executed by three "bored" wannabe gang-bangers, 88-year-old World War II veteran Delbert "Shorty" Belton was allegedly beaten to death by two 16-year-old black American teens, Demetrius Glenn and Kenan D. Adams-Kinard, both of whom have histories of violent crime. In Poughkeepsie, NY, 20-year-old Javon Tyrek Rogers has been charged with first degree murder and first degree burglary in the killing of 99-year-old Fannie Gumbinger.

The Thug Culture That Killed Chris Lane

In a testament to the depravity of thug culture, an Australian collegiate baseball player attending school in America was killed by three teenagers looking for fun, police reported. Christopher Lane, who was out for a jog in the town of Duncan, Oklahoma where his girlfriend and her family live, was targeted at random after he passed a home where the boys were staying. "They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" said Police Chief Danny Ford. "The boy who has talked to us said, 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"

Banished: Proof of Jihad in Hasan Trial

In a move that reeks of political motivations, Judge Col. Tara Osborn ruled against the admission of evidence that prosecutors say would show Maj. Nidal Hasan's jihadist motivations for attacking the Fort Hood military base in 2009.

Just How Corrupt Is the Obama Administration?

Scandal after scandal, coupled with an ongoing contempt for the law and the Constitution, demonstrated by high-level officials and the president himself, point to one deeply troubling conclusion: the Obama administration may be the most corrupt administration ever inflicted on the American public. And while the mainstream media have done a remarkable job deflecting much of that reality, even they cannot keep up with the avalanche of disturbing revelations that arise, seemingly on a daily basis.

The Jew-Hating Dem Behind the ‘Million Muslim March’

A group known as the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) has been making headlines with its attempt to organize a "Million Muslim March" on Washington, D.C. on the 12th anniversary of 9/11. Predictably, a statement released by the group explaining the event offers a disturbing welter of demands, anti-Americanism and victimhood:

We at AMPAC are planning an historic event for 9.11.13 where one million Muslims will march to Washington D.C. and demand that our civil rights be protected by our government.

Oprah’s Witch-Hunt

Oprah Winfrey, who exploited her position as a billionaire, media mogul to attack a "racist" sales clerk at a Swiss boutique, began backpedaling away from her story on Tuesday, claiming she's "really sorry that it got blown up." Considering it was Oprah herself who brought the the story to national attention on Entertainment Tonight, such a non-apology rings exceedingly hollow--especially since her story has also "evolved" in the interim.

Judge Throws Out Discrimination Charges Against Paula Deen

In a 20-page opinion released Monday, U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. tossed out race discrimination claims made by former Savannah restaurant manager Lisa Jackson against celebrity chef Paula Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers.

Time For Third Party

Last week I wrote a column about the reality that House Republicans are ready to cave on so-called comprehensive immigration reform. There was a final paragraph in that column my editor decided not to use. That is the editor's right for two reasons: one, every site has a voice they wish to adhere to interns of form and content; and two, he who pays, gets the final say.

GOP Ready to Cave on Amnesty

The Republican Party is seemingly on the verge of embracing so-called comprehensive immigration reform. Using a tactic best described as "calculated incrementalism," House Republicans plan to pass a series of individual bills addressing various aspects of immigration reform, which will then be combined in conference with the Senate bill.

Pushing Back Against CNN & NBC’s Hillary Propaganda

Yesterday, Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus sent letters to NBC and CNN, warning them that if they continue to pursue their announced plans to produce movies about the life of Hillary Clinton, "I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor," Priebus wrote.

Benghazi and the Al Qaeda Resurgence

According to sources talking to CNN, "including those with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings," 35 CIA agents were on the ground in Benghazi the night ambassador Christopher Stevens, Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, and diplomat Sean Smith, were killed in a terrorist attack.

Heroizing a Traitor

After 16 hours of deliberation, military judge Army Col. Denise Lind convicted pfc. Bradley Manning on 19 of 21 charges for his participation in the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history. Manning was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, but his conviction on six counts of violating the Espionage Act, five counts of theft, one count of computer fraud, and other lesser infractions, has him facing a maximum sentence of 136 years in prison. With the sentencing phase of the trial now underway, Manning is expected to be sent to prison for the rest of his life. That prospect should disappoint no one, save those who have spent the last few years casting Manning as a "hero."

How Taxpayers Will Bail Out Detroit

On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew ostensibly ruled out a federal government bailout of Detroit following its recent declaration of bankruptcy.

How Obama Poisoned Race Relations in America

A new poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal reveals that public perceptions about race relations in America have taken a devastating hit since the election of Barack Obama. At the beginning of the president's first term, 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks had a positive view of American race relations.

IRS Scandal: One Step Removed From the White House

Last week, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the Zimmerman verdict and the antics of the racial grievance industry, the IRS scandal got far more intense. According to top IRS lawyer Carter Hull, the Chief Counsel's office of the IRS, headed by Obama appointee William Wilkins, was instrumental in the agency's campaign of harassment and discrimination against conservative and certain pro-Israel groups.

Detroit’s Present, America’s Future

Last Thursday in Detroit, 60 consecutive years of progressive Democratic governance, in collaboration with rapacious government employee unions, produced an inevitable conclusion: the largest municipal bankruptcy in the history of the nation.

Rolling Stone’s Jihadist Rock Star

In a shameless display of the Left's romance with the murderous enemies of America, Rolling Stone magazine has put a picture of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of its August issue, being released to newsstands today. An outcry of national proportions has ensued, best expressed by bombing survivor James "Bim" Costello, 30, of Malden, MA, who needed several pigskin grafts, and has three friends who lost legs in the atrocity. "I think whoever wrote the article should have their legs blown off by someone, struggle through treatment and then see who they would choose to put on the cover," he said.

R.I.P. Britain’s Patient-Killing ‘Pathway to Death’

Americans who wonder how their medical care will evolve once the Affordable Healthcare Act is fully implemented should turn their attention to the UK. After a sustained campaign by the UK's Daily Mail, the so-called Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) that provided end-of-life care to thousands of patients in Britain's government-run National Health Service (NHS) will be phased out over the next six to 12 months. This is due to the reality that an independent review board found "shocking examples of abuse" regarding the treatment of the system's most vulnerable patients.

Eric Holder’s Reign of Racial Terror

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is apparently ready to pick up where he left off last year and continue his investigation into whether Trayvon Martin's civil rights were violated by the recently acquitted George Zimmerman. Holder had stepped aside to let the Florida trial of Zimmerman proceed, but it would appear that the verdict rendered Saturday night is too irresistible for the man who oversees one of the most racially-polarized Justice Departments (DOJ) in the history of the nation. "Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate," the DOJ announced.
