Merrick Garland’s Nomination Was Not “Stolen,” And It May Have Elected President Trump
Nominating Merrick Garland may have been the biggest mistake President Obama ever made. Christmas came in June this year for Republican followers of the Supreme Court, and let’s be honest, the Supreme Court is probably the primary reason that most Republican voters continue to vote Republican. The Good Lord knows it’s not because we ever […]
Barack Obama made Bill Clinton look like Ronald Reagan
I doubt many people detested the Bill Clinton years more than me. I hated his phoniness. I hated his lies. I hated that he was unrepentant about lying. I hated that everyone could see right through him but not enough people seemed to care. I hated all the hedging and moral ambiguity. I hated the […]
Barack Obama: America’s First Latino President
As the Obama Administration struggles with its latest self-created crisis, aimlessly fumbling about in its attempts to house and feed and clothe the tens of thousands of poor immigrant children who have streamed across the border in recent months, the American public is hearing an oft-repeated narrative about these children and their (literally) countless predecessors […]
Obama’s Clumsy, but Fortunately Libertarian Foreign Policy
If there’s one thing that characterizes the Obama Presidency, it’s that Obama is forever a man at odds with himself. He tries to create a prosperous economy by penalizing prosperity. He tries to create jobs by imposing new costs on businesses. He tries to solve our debt problem by increasing spending. He tries to make […]

Barack Obama’s Legacy: A Presidency We Understood All Too Well
Now that President Obama’s policies have proven to be a massive failure in every sense of the word, the liberal spin machine has been kicked into overdrive. But because liberalism can never be the problem, the latest Leftist apologetic holds that the real cause of the President’s unpopularity and ineffectualness is that the President is […]
President Obama’s Non-Answers Regarding the Non-War in Libya
As American military operations continue in Libya at a cost of $100 million per day, the President finally saw fit this past Monday to address the American people on the matter, after nine days of combat and not a word from our Commander in Chief since its inception. The President began his twenty-minute speech by […]
President Strangelove: How Obama Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bombs
Have we not yet learned anything of the limits of American hegemony? Even a cursory review of our post-Vietnam engagements in the Middle East shows a foreign policy almost entirely rooted in ineffectual militarism. Starting in the 1980s, we armed the Mujahedeen rebels in Afghanistan (and thereby created Al Qaeda), had multiple encounters with Libya, […]
Bin Laden’s Death Was A Happy Letdown
Learning of the death of Osama bin Laden was one of those rare moments in life, the kind that cause us to realize instantly that we will always remember where we were when it happened. Like many Americans, the last time I had experienced such a moment was a related event, when almost ten years […]
