The Big Immigration Problem No One's Talking About

Bowing to pressure from amnesty advocate groups, President Obama and his administration continue to waver on enforcing the law when it comes to immigration policies. The president has been decried as the “deporter-in-chief” by those who usually support him, like Janet Murguía, president of the National Council of La Raza. And this pressure has led to some terrible policy decisions.

The War on Mercury

President Obama’s “war on coal” claims to be a “war on mercury.” While the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) proposed “Mercury and Air Toxics Standards” (MATS) rule is supposed to reduce exposure to “mercury” emissions, this is just a pretext; the real intent is to control “carbon” emissions, or carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, to be more precise.

17-year-old Second Amendment champion takes down incumbent in West Virginia legislative primary

She's too young to vote, but it does not appear that will keep conservative Saira Blair from being elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates. She showed something on Tuesday night by taking down the Republican incumbent in the primary, and now she takes her pro-life, pro-gun message up against the Democratic nominee in a very red district.

Who got to Geithner? Ex-Treasury Sec backpedals on claim White House told him to 'bend the truth'

I wonder what the Obama White House says to you when you start going off the reservation by publicly telling the truth about how they operate, and what type of leverage they can exercise over you when you're no longer in their employ.

The Sky is Falling at the White House

The fabled Chicken Little knew the sky would fall some day, just not in a country where the news would be greeted with the words: “Mon Dieu!”

Utah Congressman Set to Propose Funds Cut for Paramilitary Units at BLM, IRS and Other Fed Regulatory Units

I, and I'm certain many of my readers will agree when I say, "Kudos" to Cheryl K. Chumley and her employer, the Washington Times, for covering the story concerning the Utah Congressman, Chris Stewart, who, accordingly, "is mulling a measure to cut funding for any 'paramilitary units' that work for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other federal regulatory agencies."

It's a Very Complex World

In the 1980s I devoted a lot of effort to debunking a torrent of Green lies about pesticides and herbicides. This was before the Greens latched onto “global warming” which has since become “climate change” and the subject of a recent White House report filled with dire predictions of planetary doom and disaster.

Why Liberty Dies

To understand why liberty is imperiled in our country today we must first state clearly and unequivocally what is liberty. Then and only then can we understand what is necessary for its preservation as well as see what is undermining it today. Liberty is the absence of coercion and the freedom to act upon your own will within the perimeters of not infringing the freedom of action of others. The only way that has been found among the societies of man to ensure, promote and protect liberty is through the rule of law.

Good luck, Rams! Oprah to air reality show starring Michael Sam

I have never been happier not to be a Rams fan. And I could not be more thrilled that the Vikings did not draft Michael Sam - which is entirely unrelated to his being gay per se, or for that matter to how good or bad a player he is.

Science As McCarthyism

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. --Voltaire A German physicist compared Bengtsson's move to joining the Ku Klux Klan. -- Der Tagesanzeiger, 7 May 2014

Push to thwart climate change is power grab by politicized con artists

WASHINGTON, DC — Here are the top ten reasons why Congress should ignore advice to pass major legislation to combat climate change:

Speaking kindly

I decided I’d attend a soiree hosted by a very good friend running for a judgeship in Baton Rouge. I normally don’t get involved with people too much. I spent too many years working in law enforcement to not recognize many people seeking my counsel were looking for loopholes in the law and I don’t really care for the idea of being used. But this was different for me.
