Written by John Biver

James Taylor (no, not the singer, as this James Taylor isn’t afraid of pointing out) is “the managing editor of Environment & Climate News, a national monthly publication devoted to sound science and free-market environmentalism. He is also senior fellow for The Heartland Institute, focusing on energy and environment issues.” In a short post at Heartlands’ website, he demolishes the whole “the oceans are rising because of melting glaciers” scare mongering going on in the dishonest media fueled by the political left.… Continue Reading

NOT Jeb Bush

A conservative icon says while it appears many in the establishment GOP are already rallying around Jeb Bush as their choice for 2016, he thinks it would be better to nominate a “good, principled conservative” to run against someone like Hillary Clinton.

During a recent luncheon in San Antonio, U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he has “nudged” former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (above) to run for president in 2016. Bush has already indicated he is considering a run; and both his brother, George W.Continue Reading

U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy Silences the Press

Written by David E. Smith

The dominant media just doesn’t seem to want to ask the tough questions about the Benghazi scandal. However, U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) lays it all out for the media.  One can only hope that some of them were taking note.

This is most certain the most shameful events that has occurred in the last two years of the Obama administration. The complicit media has not done enough to investigate this outrageous attack on American facility and the murder of  four Americans — an attack that just happened on the anniversary of September 11th and carried out by radical Muslim terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda. Continue Reading

Voter Fraud: An Existential Threat to America

Written by James Simpson, Accuracy in Media

It is difficult to describe the enormity of the crime being committed by the Obama administration and their Democratic allies. They flagrantly flout the law, while simultaneously turning it into a weapon against political opponents, use government agencies to target innocent Americans, attempt to create legal voters through amnesty, and undermine voter integrity measures to facilitate vote fraud, while denying it even exists. In short, they are corrupting the entire process.… Continue Reading

Obamacare More Unpopular Than Ever

Written by Naomi Lopez Bauman

While the president and his political allies have been celebrating ObamaCare’s “success,” not everyone is sharing this sentiment. In fact, most people are now taking the opposite view.

According to a recent Pew Research Center/USA TODAY survey, more Americans disapprove of the Affordable Care Act now than when the law was enacted. Americans, now that they know what is in the president’s sweeping health law, don’t seem to like it. In fact, the law’s approval rating has barely budged, moving to 41 percent from 40 percent since the law was enacted in 2010.

What Christians Should Learn from the “Gay Lobby”

Written by Pastor John Kirkwood

I have accepted a seat in the [Massachusetts] House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and the ruin of our children. I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate.~John Adams, to Abigail Adams, May 1770

Congress should be a burden. It should be like Joe Arpaio’s tent jail.… Continue Reading

Epic Speech on the Floor of the U.S. House

This May Be a Defining Moment for America

We’ve finally gotten to the point where Congress had to pass a law to make sure that the laws they pass are enforced.

In a speech that Representative Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) really shouldn’t have had to make, he explains angrily to the U.S. House what its job is, and to President Barack Obama what his job is. Members were heard to applaud as he reached the crescendo.… Continue Reading

Conervatives Oppose Las Vegas GOP Bid

Written by Tod Gillman, DallasNews.com

Some of the heaviest hitters on the religious right are pressuring GOP leaders to cross off Las Vegas as a potential host city for its 2016 convention, warning that putting the next convention in Sin City will harm the party’s image and drive away supporters.

Dallas already pitches itself as a more wholesome alternative to Vegas, and the push-back could bolster the city’s effort.

The leaders sent a letter last week to Republican chairman Reince Priebus, putting him on notice that picking Vegas would generate friction.… Continue Reading
