Hillary Clinton once claimed that she tried to join the Marines in 1975, shortly before marrying her draft-dodging boyfriend, future president Bill Clinton. Or did Hillary Diane Rodham attempt to join the Army, as Clinton suggested in 2008? Or did she indeed try to sign up for the Marine Corps as part of an experiment to see how receptive the military was to female volunteers, as her friends have suggested? Questions over whether presidential candidates have fudged their youthful interests in the military came to the forefront on Friday when Politico reported that Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson fabricated a...

The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.” — Henry Hazlitt, “Economics in One Lesson” One of the greatest fallacies of recent generations is the argument that free market capitalism has failed and that said failure is responsible for America’s moribund economy, the ongoing destruction of the middle...

They blatantly took a stand against even the semblance of compassion for the constituents they represent - WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 4 – “Life isn’t fair and President Obama and the Senate Democrats who gave us Obamacare pressed the point this week. They adamantly refused to negotiate a compromise to keep the federal government open for business in exchange for a little time and effort to tweak a few unpalatable kinks in the Affordable Care Act,” Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens, commented. Weber said that “while there is plenty of blame to go around on Capitol...

Lawmakers sound off to PJM about Benghazi and Susan Rice's "cock-and-bull" talking points. Addressing the House hearing on Benghazi with three “whistleblowers,” Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Price told PJ Media that exercising oversight of the Obama administration has been “incredible, laborious, time-consuming work” for Congress. “The next steps ought to be for the Obama administration to come clean on what happened. They have obfuscated at every single turn and there’s some people who believe it’s a significant cover-up. I think we’ll ultimately find out. The truth will come out but they need to come clean,” Price told PJ Media at...

Is Gov. Deval Patrick serious? He doesn't know the motivation of the terrorists? On Sunday he went on "Face the Nation," and host Bob Schieffer asked him if he had "any clearer idea" of why the "two young men" did it. "Not yet, Bob," Deval began, more than 48 hours after the shootout. "Uh, and it's hard, it's hard for me and for many to imagine what could motivate, uh, people to, uh, harm, uh, innocent men, women and children, uh, in the way that, uh, these two fellows did." Two fellows indeed. He'd rather tell a whopper on national...

Are attorneys Barack and Michelle Obama currently licensed to practice law? Was Barack Obama ever a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago? In recent days, these questions have once again gone viral on the Internet. WND has traced the current controversy to Doug Ross and a March 1 posting on his DirectorBlue.blogspot.com asserting the Obamas are no longer lawyers registered to practice law in Illinois and that claims President Obama was a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago are "a sham." This current round of the controversy harkens back to the 2008 presidential campaign...

Did anybody listen to Rush's conversation with a Mrs. Dorothy Asdale. The gist of the story is that Mrs. Asdale was quoted in a Will Lester AP column as being swayed by kerry, when her only news "information" was Rush Limbaugh because that was the only radio station that comes in clear in Yuma, AZ.
