Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is not backing down from the airport security pat-down debacle. Unfortunately, this is not the first time Napolitano has found her self on the wrong side of such a — well — “sensitive” matter. Few remember that Napolitano provided legal council to Anita Hill, the woman who accused Supreme Court [...]
Maxine Waters’ House ethics trial was postponed indefinitely. It is not exactly a boon for Waters, as her trial is being postponed because new evidence has been found in the case. Unfortunately for Waters (but perhaps fortunately for America), the trial may very well resume under a Republican-controlled House. Waters may have avoided justice in [...]
Glenn Beck caught a lot of flack, recently, for bringing attention to the fact that, as an adolescent, radical left-wing billionaire George Soros helped confiscate the property of his fellow Jews during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. A heartless exploitation of a tragic childhood event on the part of Beck? Hardly. The significance of this [...]
Airport security these days is certainly offensive. If a Republican administration were orchestrating such “Grope and Change,” one could be sure that cries of “fascist police state” from the Left could not be muted. Why is there no outrage when PC totalitarianism brings us to such uncomfortable lengths? And more importantly, who’s to blame? In [...]
The verdict is in. Rep. Charles Rangel has been found guilty of 11 counts of House ethics violations. Much more than corruption charges, Congressman Rangel has been building an unsavory resume for decades. Highlights: Admirer of Fidel Castro and Communist Cuba Commonly levies baseless charges of racism for political advantage Helped to author the largest tax [...]

Asked if he had any reaction to the subcommittee’s decision, Rangel told reporters, “Nope, none.” For a comprehensive overview of Rangel’s political career and his [...]
Will she stay or will she go, now? Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing opposition for the position of House Minority Leader. As it turns out, some in the Democratic Party are a little bitter about being led off a cliff. While Pelosi’s political future is uncertain, few can dismiss her extensive career in the halls [...]
The Constitution Project (CP) is a nonprofit organization whose objective is to influence court decisions and public opinion on contentious constitutional and legal issues. Specifically, CP favors “reasonable alternatives” to incarceration for criminals. It steadfastly opposes the death penalty. It complains that post-9/11 immigration restrictions enacted “in the name of national security” raise “serious constitutional concerns.” It [...]
Viewing Israel as morally analogous to apartheid South Africa, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has launched an extensive divestment campaign designed to stop companies around the world from conducting business with, or investing in, Israel. The organization also views Hamas leader Khaled Mash’al as a legitimate potential partner in the peace process, and has urged Israeli officials to meet [...]
George Soros is a New York hedge-fund manager who has amassed a personal fortune estimated at about $13 billion. Since 1979, Soros’ foundation network — whose flagship is the Open Society Institute — has dispensed billions of dollars to many hundreds of organizations whose objectives are politically far-left. A devoted supporter of President Obama, Soros was also the prime mover behind [...]
