Luis sent me this essay on the Elian kidnapping and subsequent march on Calle Ocho. It was so perfect and heartfelt for the sad anniversary of that black day thirteen years ago that I asked for his permission to publish it. I think you will cry and feel a little pride in who and why [...]

The "evil empire" is still with us to this day... More from Paul Kengor at American Spectator: Today, Ronald Reagan’s Evil Empire speech turns 30 years old. It stands as one of the most memorable orations of the last three decades. It coined a phrase, a tag, a label — one that utterly fit. If [...]

I come across a large amount of reading material every day thanks to my RSS reader and Twitter. Form time to time I discover beautiful little gems of punditry. Such is case today from a blog called The Sacred Cow Slaughterhouse. It is a brilliant piece that, in 1,735 words, dissects and exposes the rotten internal organs [...]

Le zumba!  

I don't care who wins tonight as long as the Ravens lose.

Sen. Marco Rubio is making the rounds on TV and radio to discuss his part in the Senate's immigration reform, just as illegal immigration is on the rise again. I did hear him on Limbaugh this afternoon and he sounds as if he is being very levelheaded and focused. We can debate the details, and [...]

In Italy, Berlusconi defends Mussolini, draws outrage from political left, and inadvertently shows Fascism and Socialism to be the kissing cousins they've always been... Speaking at the margins of the event in Milan, Berlusconi said Mussolini had been wrong to follow Nazi Germany's lead in passing anti-Jewish laws but that he had in other respects been a [...]

From  FactReal: Whitewash: The racist history the Democratic Party wants you to forget. By Bruce Bartlett (December 24, 2007) In his new book, “The Conscience of a Liberal,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman makes a strong case for his belief that the political success of the Republican Party and the conservative movement over the past [...]

Luis's recent coming out of the post-election head trauma coma post doesn't leave a whole lotta head left on the nail because he hit it so damn hard and square. I have been shaking my head over the last few weeks myself. I go out amongst the electorate and mingle in the day-to-day activities we [...]

Mark Steyn in National Review Online takes on the recent intelligence failures that gave us the ever-wonderful "Arab Spring." Let us turn from the post-Thanksgiving scenes of inflamed mobs clubbing each other to the ground for a discounted television set to the comparatively placid boulevards of the Middle East. In Cairo, no sooner had Hillary Clinton’s [...]

By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, [...]

Jane Fonda, the world-famous limousine liberal communist regrets riding that North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun -- and not fucking bola de churre. As everyone knows, war is bad as long as the President of the United States is a Republican. That’s why Jane Fonda was an anti-war activist during the Vietnam War. That’s why she toured North [...]

A great article on the 'why' of the brainwashed vote. At first, the numbers seemed too absurd to be true: did Mitt Romney really receive zero votes in 59 Philadelphia voting districts? Did Barack Obama really outpoll him by a combined 19,605 to 0 votes cast in these 59 districts. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, [...]

Victor Davis Hanson on the second-term scandals and implosion we'll be thoroughly enjoying... The second-term curse goes like this: A president (e.g., Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, etc.) wins re-election, but then his presidency implodes over the next four years — mired in scandals or disasters such as Watergate, Iran-Contra, Monica [...]

In Human Events: "J.P. Morgan and the crime nobody committed": The Wall Street Journal on Monday reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission “doesn’t intend to charge any individuals in its planned enforcement action against J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. for the allegedly fraudulent sale of mortgage bonds, according to people close to the investigation.” [...]
