Glenn Beck loves every minute of the Beck bash. In recent days he's gotten a rock star mob welcome in South Carolina and Washington. He'd get the same fan mob turnout in dozens of other cities that he chose to travel to. His ratings have soared through the...

Sarah Palin called on Kenyan witch hunting Bishop Thomas Muthee to help jump start her campaigns for governor and later for the White House. Muthee it may be remembered made headlines when he took his crusade to purge witches from Kenya to Palin's one time Wasilla Assembly of God...

A year from now voters and the media will take stock of President Obama's mid-term performance. When they do four things will leap out as major Obama administration mistakes, and they're all linked.
Forgetting the economy. During the campaign Obama took to heart the political...

In September 2008, Oprah Winfrey was the reigning queen of daytime TV chatter. She flatly said no to any talk about then Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin gracing her set. Oprah made no effort to square having then presidential candidate Obama on her show twice with her cold shoulder...

What difference could it possibly make whether Michelle Obama's approval rating plunged over 10 percent in the past couple of months, or that she even has any approval ratings? To make things look even worse, the November Gallup Poll that punched out her diminished ratings compared her ratings to Laura...

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, key House and Senate Democratic and Republicans, and most importantly the major pharmaceuticals and private insurers know one thing, and they've known it from the start of the health care debate. And that's that the Senate, not the house,...

The instant the news broke that a soldier with a Muslim name shot up the base at Ft. Hood the Council on American-Islamic Relations wasted no time and issued a loud and vigorous denunciation of the mass murders. The Council didn't know whether Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter,...

The following item that appeared in the April 22, 2009 edition of Army Times was about as routine as can be when it comes to Army business. It read "Orders authorizing May promotions for the following active-component commissioned officers and warrant officers have been issued by Human Resources Command." The...

Make no mistake, Tuesday's GOP surge was about President Obama. The dumbest thing that progressives, liberal Democrats and much of the media did following Obama's election a year ago was to gloat and smugly declare the GOP dead. The silly line repeated incessantly was that the GOP has been reduced...

Presidential candidate Barack Obama clearly understood a painful fact. As president, he would be the most scrutinized, fawned over, and hectored president since Lincoln. He had absolutely no wiggle room to stumble. The legion of Obama detractors and loathers would be watching hawk like for the stumble, real or trumped...

In his spicy, tantalizing, tell-all inside the belly of the Obama campaign book, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe says that Obama toyed with picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate and then junked it because hubby Bill posed too many complications. In less polite terms, the thinking among Team Obama...

In June 2007, presidential candidate Barack Obama told a New York crowd that much of the big money influence peddling in Washington is illegal and that he'd crack down on it once in office. Five months later in an Iowa speech he was even blunter. He warned corporate lobbyists that...

President Obama should tear up former Marine Matthew Hoh's resignation letter. Hoh is an American hero. Hoh is the first US official to resign in disgust over the Administration's wrong-headed course in fighting the Afghan war. He told Obama exactly what he needs to hear about Afghanistan: that the Afghan...

Fox News' numbers speaks for themselves. In the first quarter Fox was the second most watched channel in primetime. It bagged the top spot among nine out of ten cable shows. It made CNN and MSNBC look like amateurish high school student broadcast facilities. In the second quarter Fox did...

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a parade of House and Senate Democrats should get academy awards for their play act on the public heath care option. It's as dead as a doornail. Yet, the principal players still tease the public with their talk about it. The public option...

On October 13, the US Coast Guard nabbed 18 persons off Mission Bay near San Diego. The 18 were foreign nationals being smuggled into the country. The story, like others that involve the traffic in human cargo, garnered scant press attention. But what made the capture of the 18 even...

The same day a fourth grade student asked President Obama why do people hate him a Gallup survey found that far more people like Hillary Clinton than Obama. The question and the poll implicitly asked and answered the youngster's troubling question. Obama is plainly not liked by a lot of...

In the months after President Obama's inauguration, he and other administration officials held more than two dozen secret meetings with top insurers and the major pharmaceutical groups. He met with registered lobbyist Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, the major private insurer's industry group, on March...

Publicly President Obama said all the right things when he got word that the Nobel committee awarded him its jewel in the crown peace prize. But privately I have to think that Obama had to scratch his head and wonder why me? With all due respect to the...

Frederick Douglass? James Baldwin? The two towering historical civil rights and literary icons are spinning wildly and angrily in their graves at the mere mention and use of their names by some gay rights activists to bash President Obama. Their beef against Obama is, of course, that he's back pedaled...
