Want a real anti-poverty plan? Stop amnesty now! by Michelle MalkinCreators SyndicateCopyright 2014 It is now all the fashionable rage in Washington, D.C., to proclaim solidarity with America's working poor in front of the cameras — while stabbing them in the back behind closed doors. Privileged Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky and others have taken to Twitter, posting photos of themselves eating tuna sandwiches and buying Ramen noodles to show how much they empathize with minim...

Shooting off his mouth…again Hey, Snotty Bloomberg: Mind your own crumbling city! by Michelle MalkinCreators SyndicateCopyright 2014 Some sore losers just don't know when to pick up their billion-dollar marbles and go away. Far, far away. I'm looking at you, Michael Bloomberg. The former New York City mayor mouthed off about my adopted hometown of Colorado Springs and my friends in nearby Pueblo in Rolling Stone magazine this month. He snidely bashed our neighborhoods as backwater holes “where I...

**Written by Doug Powers Sen. Patty Murray has written the “Not My Boss's Business Act” as a “fix” to get around the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision: Democrats and women's health groups believe they have a powerful campaign weapon in pushing back on the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling that Hobby Lobby and other closely held for-profit companies don't have to comply with the health law's contraceptive coverage requirement if it violates the owners' religious beliefs. The bill was drafted by Sen. ...

Obama's Immigration Lawyers' Enrichment Act by Michelle MalkinCreators SyndicateCopyright 2014 The American Dream is dying for tens of millions of unemployed, underemployed and long-term jobless citizens. But the White House has guaranteed that one sector of the U.S. economy will thrive for decades to come: Open-borders immigration lawyers. Don't believe the fibbing D.C. flacks. While the president's spokesman Josh Earnest promised that “most” of the illegal immigrant youths from Central America...

**Written by Doug Powers Reid should be able to focus on this in the coming weeks thanks to all the extra time freed up by not worrying about a budget combined with the fact that he's insane: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that Democrats will take up legislation in the “coming weeks” to address last month's Supreme Court decision that allowed some employers with religious objections to opt out of Obamacare's contraception mandate. Democrats on Capitol Hill have overwhelmingly crit...

**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 While a plan is being devised to pin global warming on Hobby Lobby, for now we'll just have to settle for a whiffle-brained diatribe in The New Yorker about the potential downsides of the recent Supreme Court ruling: If the Pakistani Taliban, aided by clever lawyers, organized a closely held American corporation, and professed to run it on religious principles, might its employees be deprived of insurance coverage to inoculate their children against polio? And would the ...

**Written by Doug Powers Great moments in presidential legacy building: Abraham Lincoln: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Franklin D. Roosevelt: “No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.” John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your country.” Ronald Reagan: “Freedom prospers when ...

**Written by Doug Powers It's only polite for one of the people helping send out the invitations to serve as a greeter. From Politico: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will travel to the southern border of the U.S. on Saturday to be briefed by Customs and Border Protection on the flood of unaccompanied minors entering the country. The California Democrat will also meet with a group of children held at the South Texas Detention Facility. “The humanitarian crisis unfolding across our nation's so...

**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...

**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 Progressive Crisis Management 101: Simply change or eliminate an undesirable-but-accurate label for what's going, and problem solved! 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). Instead these individuals are to be referred to as “unaccompanied children” in official correspondence, according to an internal ICE email obtained by th...

**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...

**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...
