Melinda Gates Exploiting Nigerian School Girl Abduction for Feminism?

Someone should point out to Mrs. Bill Gates that advocating for abortion and excusing radical Islam will never bring back Boko Haram-kidnapped Christian school girls. Gates’ bylined CNN News story merely politicizes and exploits an already tragic situation in Nigeria.

UK Conservative party running radical Islamist candidate in next week’s elections

Newham, London-The Labour Party controls this borough 100% occupying every seat on the Council, but they have become increasingly unpopular in recent years. Under the leadership of Mayor Sir Robin Wales, the council has wasted the typical sums found in lefty governments but has more importantly opposed the building of a "mega mosque" also known as the London Markaz in the area. This has caused Sir Wales' popularity in the borough of immigrants to crash.

Welcome to the Gay Agenda Re-Education Camp

It seems the politically correct liberals in charge of the NFL are admirers of communism. In Red China, Cambodia, Vietnam and other countries communist tyrants forced citizens into re-education camps to “enlighten” their subjects about the wonderful “benefits” of totalitarianism.

Tesla Posts $50 Million Loss; Toyota Withdraws Support

Tesla Motors, an electric car maker backed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), posted a $49.8 million loss in the first quarter of 2014. This loss compared to a profit of $11.2 million in the same period a year earlier despite selling more cars.(i) Last year’s profit was not due to electric car sales, but to sales of California zero-emission-vehicle environmental credits to other auto manufacturers. Those lucrative credits have declined and tight battery supply has made it harder to produce the carmaker’s electric vehicles.

The Hermanator's Leadership Test

There is obviously a big difference between a politician and a leader. As we move toward the end of the primary season here in Georgia - with the final days of voting upon us - I can sympathize with any voter who feels frustrated trying to cut through all the nonsense and identify those rare candidates who actually are seeking office because they want to be authentic leaders.

Even AP now admits ObamaCare enrollees are losing their doctors

People who understood how markets work said it all along: There is simply no way to to take a service, mandate by law that it be made more "comprehensive," expand access to everyone, and somehow reduce the cost of it. It can't be done. It's like trying to add 7 and 2 to come up with 6. It's impossible.

Ontario Teachers: A Failure According to Wynne Government

In a great essay, Lawrence Reed points out that government’s constant efforts to reform its own policies is an implicit admission that they couldn’t get things right the first 50 attempts. This is instructive; as Ontario’s political debate now turns on pension reform. The Ontario Liberal Party leader, Kathleen Wynne, has made it a campaign priority to establish a new mandatory pension plan for Ontarians.

Government agencies being armed

The Medicaid news is not good.

Scientists In Cover-Up Of ‘Damaging’ Climate Research

Research which heaped doubt on the rate of global warming was deliberately suppressed by scientists because it was “less than helpful” to their cause, it was claimed last night. In an echo of the infamous “Climategate” scandal at the University of East Anglia, one of the world’s top academic journals rejected the work of five experts after a reviewer privately denounced it as “harmful”. Lennart Bengtsson, a research fellow at the University of Reading and one of the authors of the study, said he suspected that intolerance of dissenting views on climate science was preventing his paper from being published. --Ben Webster, The Times, 16 May 2014

60th Anniversary of Brown Vs. Board of Education

We can expect the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the May17, 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, to be conducted in the usual reverential manner.

State Dept. official: OK, fine, we should have designated Boko Haram terrorists a long time ago

A person who wants to be president of the United States needs to be judged closely on the decisions he or she has made to date. So Hillary Clinton's decision not to designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization when she was being urged to do so not only should, but must, be put under the microscope if she is claiming she is qualified to be president.

Harry Reid's Obsession with the Koch Brothers

From Latma to Yisrael Hayom

Last Sunday, the government passed what was billed as a major reform in Israeli broadcasting. The cabinet voted 18-2 to eliminate the fee the public is forced to pay to finance public broadcasting, shut down the public broadcasting authority and open a new public broadcasting authority that will be unfettered by the wreckage of the old one.

As members of Congress weigh the costs and benefits of extending the wind production tax credit (PTC) one more time, it is appropriate to ask the hard questions about subsidies for wind power producers in the United States. Who better to ask than the most visible person asking for an extension of the PTC on behalf of the U.S. wind industry?
