Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress. It has at least one member saying that if the people disagree so strongly, he just won’t listen... »

It appears that one or more career-minded Florida prosecutors used a fake scent-tracking dog to secure convenient criminal convictions, secretly giving case evidence to the dog’s owner so he could lead the dog along the desired path prosecutors invented to secure convictions. In this case, a man spent 26 years in prison for a murder... »

Ed Note: Joy Jones of the Washington Post fell all over herself attempting to excuse black women for not marrying, having millions of illegitimate children, and blaming it on men.

Ian Plimer, a geologist and professor of mining geology at Adelaide University in Australia, has outraged the ayatollahs of purist environmentalism, the Torquemadas of the doctrine of global warming, and he seems to relish the damnation they heap on him. In six books and 60 academic papers, he condemns the hype about carbon dioxide... »

Sexual mutilation is perhaps the most ghastly form of domestic violence — in this case a feminist-inspired hate crime. While this man should not have cheated (which apparently occured quite some time in the past), this hateful and dangerous woman must be put away for a very long time. “I was in bed,... »

“The 2009 KIDS COUNT Data Book,” compiled by the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, profiles the well-being of American children according to key health and socio-economic indicators, comparing data from between 2000 and 2006-2007 to measure progress and to rank indicators on a state-by-state basis. In four key areas – low-birthweight babies; children living in... »

This is man-made warming theory’s missing link. The global warming industry and its political enablers have been getting away with an amazing stunt of backing out from the equation inconvenient things which your lying eyes might tell you. Amid the cries of “warming proceeding even faster than predicted” – an actual, common claim among... »

(CNN) — Divorce causes more than bitterness and broken hearts.

Editor’s note: Students of the Chicago Daley machine know that feminists have been calling the shots there (and in Illinois as well) for perhaps 40 years. The very powerful Chicago feminist machine is why Hillary lost her bid to Obama. Feminists decided Obama was a better choice because he can’t be called... »

We see that Harvard elite is packed with feminists and racists – the foundation of reverse-oppressive victim politics. Louis Gates is no exception. Gates’ recent brouhaha with Cambridge police, which now appears to have been intentionally set up by Gates, demonstrates he is a radical as ever. “As always, whitey now sits in... »

By: Phyllis Schlafly President Obama has repeatedly expressed his concern about our rising unemployment. The worst loss of jobs is in manufacturing, because building autos has gone overseas, and in construction, because the housing industry has tanked. When Obama announced his Stimulus appropriation, he promised millions of “shovel-ready” jobs. His proposal was attractive because it conjured... »

Nationwide attention about President Obama’s lack of producing a long-form birth certificate proving his eligibility for office got a boost today when top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh joked about the subject in comparing Obama to God.

Where the victim still has not requested a criminal investigation, it certainly appears the allegations of rape are a disgusting attempt at civil extortion.

America must take its cues from European welfare states such as Ireland, Great Britain, and others who have already been where Obama wants to go.

Perhaps it’s the exhausted, dull-eyed look on the boy’s faces that does it, or the fact that war in these times of Iraq and Afghanistan and dozens of other regional conflicts, is very real and very deadly. Or maybe it’s just that I’m a grown-up with a son of my own. But the last... »

Despite all the hoopla, Obama has never measured up in the Presidential game. At its peak, Obama’s presidential ratings are tremendously lower than any president since 1945 except for Bill Clinton. Obama is currently tracking below Jimmy Carter at his same point in the presidency. Looks like Obama will end up a flash-in-the-pan. »

President Obama’s “science czar,” Paul Holdren, once floated the idea of forced abortions, “compulsory sterilization,” and the creation of a “Planetary Regime” that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet — controversial ideas his critics say should have been brought up in his Senate... »

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is apparently being taken for a feminist ride in a case similar to the Kobe Bryant case. Harrah’s employee Andrea McNulty alleges he sexually assaulted her after having him come to his room to fix his TV. The red warning flag is this: she did not make any report at the... »

Be careful what you say: the Patriot Act is being misused to arrest those who mouth off at obnoxious telemarketers. An Ohio man, fed up with deceptive junk mail, made the mistake of losing his temper while on the phone with a St. Louis company pitching an extended auto-service contract. Now he finds... »

False child abuse allegations were the scourge of the 1980’s. Now, false sex abuse allegations are the feminist rage, particularly attacking religious figures.

Most scientists are liberals, and like so many on the Left they think that a little lying to the public can’t be all bad. They are utterly wrong. When science becomes an official lie it starts to decay; you don’t know whom to believe any more. And if you can’t believe published... »

The most hated man in Hollywood still has his mother make his bed. And do his laundry. And clean his room.

These two help keep the... »
