What city in the United States produces nothing, is bereft of industrial infrastructure, has no natural resource other than untapped swamp gases, and is now the wealthiest city in America? Yep, it’s Washington, DC. Our nation’s capital — the seat of centralized government — has just been declared the richest metropolitan area in the country, surpassing […]

Daddy Warbucks Fights Back!
It was bound to happen. The so-called Wall Street “fat cats”, who have been giving far more money to Democrats than to Republicans in recent years — especially to President Obama — have had it with serving as a punching bag for the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party, which have married themselves to the Occupy Wall Street radicals. […]

President Obama is boarding a bus for a three-day visit to 2012 must-win swing-statesVirginia and North Carolina. And his handlers are insisting politics have nothing to do with the President’s visits this time, USA Today reports, so the trip can be 100% funded by taxpayers. Is it me, or is this White House reaching the surreal?

The Occupy Wall Street protesters were busy deliberating throughout the weekend about what demands, if any, they should place on the world, lest, as one of them aptly put it, the movement becomes perceived as “a joke.” No decision, unsurprisingly, was arrived at, but the debate reportedly continues. Pardon me for interjecting – I have […]

“the door to [the Occupy Wall Street protests] was opened by the Obama administration, going after the ‘millionaires and billionaires’ as if everybody is a millionaire and a billionaire and they didn’t earn it. . . . To fan that flame of populist anger I think is very divisive and very dangerous for this country.” […]

http://youtu.be/VrzQedHM6SY The New York City Police Department sure trains its officers well. I was just watching footage from today’s demonstrations, where protesters repeatedly violated direct orders from the NYPD. It’s amazing more police batons weren’t used. Many of the police officers are the same age as the protesters and far harder working. It’s got to […]

Charles Krauthammer writes thoughtfully this morning on a point I touched on last week to some criticism: In an attempt to fire up his base, President Obama has ginned up a dangerous climate of blame-the-other-guy in this country. Krauthammer calls it “The Scapegoat Strategy.” He writes: Obama’s new strategy: Don’t whine, blame. Attack. Indict. Accuse. Who? The rich […]

“There’s a lot of stuff we wouldn’t have to clean up if the city provided basic human rights [in privately-owned Zucotti Park], like a Port-A-Potty,” OWS protester Gene Wagner. I somehow missed that one in the Bill of Rights.

Are we really not going to have a wider discussion about thwarted White House plans to apologize to Japan for using the atom bomb to end WWII? (A war that had already cost 50 millions lives and could be ended in an instant or two?) Is it me, or would this not be the most […]

Investor’s Business Daily is reporting that President Obama sought to publicly apologize to the Japanese government for America’s use of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II. The weapons probably saved more than one hundred thousand U.S. lives, one of them being my father’s. He was on his way to Japan for the […]
