Charlie Mitchener is a 61-year-old general building contractor with an office near Patrick Lane and Fort Apache in Las Vegas. He holds permits allowing him to legally carry concealed weapons in Nevada, Florida, and Utah. Over the past three years, his office has been broken into five times. “Three of those occasions involved me interacting […]
Peace on earth, good will toward men. Fine sentiments. But as citizens of a republic, can we really assume we’ll be held forever blameless for the actions of our government? Barack Obama, who if he were not in office would be applying for a Community Development Block Grant to stage anti-war rallies in Chicago, just […]
“Only two rogue scientists,” as the oh-so-reassuring Climategate Deniers would have us believe? Merely a few phrases “taken out of context … from some 10-year-old-mails,” as Climate Guru Al Gore assured the TV hosts last weekend — at the same time he was insisting we can get all the energy we need through subterranenan heat […]
When a reporter for CNSNews.com last Thursday asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., where in the Constitution Congress is delegated the specific power to order Americans to buy health insurance — a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of Obamacare — Ms. Pelosi responded: “Are you serious?

On Friday, President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Here’s where I’m supposed to establish I’m not some kind of grumpy, sour-grapes Obama-hater by saying all Americans should share some national pride in the Norwegian committee’s decision to honor our freshman president’s efforts and intentions, blah blah blah.
“Consumers’ confidence in the economy falls in September as Americans’ worries about job security offset any enthusiasm about the rally in the stock market,” read the Sept. 29 news flash. How come? The big bankers running our economy — it’s essentially the same gang under Barack Obama that it was under George W. Bush, make […]
In my opinion, we shouldn’t have troops in Afghanistan. The country can’t be conquered or held, because it’s not a country. It’s a mountain range sparsely settled by a loose coalition of anarchist goatherds and opium farmers.
