**Written by Doug Powers Word is that Costco has pulled Dinesh D'Souza's book, “America: Imagine A World Without Her,” from store shelves. Costco reportedly said the decision to yank D'Souza's book, which takes on progressivism head-on, was based on poor sales and was not political. Excuse me for a second… Just had to get that out of my system.Poor sales? Hillary Clinton's book is currently #91 on Amazon and D'Souza's is currently, er, #1. I think what Costco means is now that D'Souza's book isn...

**Written by Doug Powers Is this kind of thinking why the Republicans might never see the White House again for a long, long time? At least one House Republican thinks Mitt Romney will make another run for the White House in 2016 — and this time, he says the 2012 runner-up will emerge victorious. “I think he actually is gonna run for president. He probably doesn't want me to say that,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC's “Hardball” on Monday. Chaffetz also backed the...

**Written by Doug Powers The National Organization for Women has published their “Dirty 100″ list. Sounds pretty bad. What did the “Dirty 100″ do to warrant being called “dirty”? Well, they had the unmitigated gall to challenge Obamacare in court — specifically the contraceptive mandate. Included among the “Dirty 100″ is a group of dangerously subversive enemies of the State called the Little Sisters of the Poor. Christine Rousselle at Townhall: The Little Sisters of the Poor take vows to tend t...

**Written by Doug Powers Recently, Democrats were celebrating the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act that was enacted in 1996. Bill Clinton congratulated himself for helping lead the recent fight to overturn the law that some guy named Bill Clinton signed into law. This morning, the Supreme Court sided with Hobby Lobby. The majority ruled that Hobby Lobby fell under the umbrella of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Who signed that bill? Bill! The RFRA was sponsored in the U.S. Sena...

**Written by Doug Powers It seems like only yesterday the Supreme Court smacked down President Obama 9-0 for “borrowing” more power than he is constitutionally given. Wait, it was only yesterday. From The Hill: The Obama administration is “not bluffing” in its intent to take executive action on immigration policy if House Republicans don't act soon, top Democratic leaders warned Thursday. [...] “Their first job is to govern,” Menendez added, “and in the absence of governing, then you see executi...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel have been directed to no longer refer to illegal immigrant children crossing the border alone as “UACs” (unaccompanied alien children).

**Written by Doug Powers The explanation Hillary Clinton gives to the “income inequality” crowd for her high speaking fees would raise a lot of questions among the MSM if her last name wasn't “Clinton,” so instead the media just lap it up: You just knew they'd find a way to turn “$200k speaking fee” into “selfless solicitation for charitable donations“: All the money Clinton has received for appearances at colleges in the past 18 months has been donated to the Clinton Foundation “to continue its...

**Written by Doug Powers When seeking experts on not being able to assert dominance, turn to low-rated MSNBC — in this case one of their hosts, Chris Hayes: While praising the huge American crowds across the country that came out to support the U.S., Hayes condemned what he called “anti-soccer trolls” whose aversion, he said, is “weirdly tied to American exceptionalism.” He then made this statement. “Part of embracing a truly worldwide competition is accepting the fact the U.S. cannot simply as...
