Yesterday, the Pew Research Center released a study showing that nearly half of the children born in the U.S. are brought forth, to use an old-fashioned term, by mothers who are not married. And this socially destructive trend has been accelerating for many years:
Researchers said a record 41 percent of births were to unmarried women in 2008. That’s up […]

HOW OBAMACARE WILL ACCELERATE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY
BLOOMBERG & MSM: “HE HATES THESE CANS!”
For three days now, I’ve been trying to remember who NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg reminded me of when he speculated, without any evidence, that the Times Square bomber was someone with a political agenda who doesn’t like the health care bill.
Well, it finally came to me. Bloomberg was behaving exactly like the Steve Martin character behaved, in […]
OBAMACARE CAUSES BIG EMPLOYERS TO CONSIDER DUMPING HEALTH COVERAGE
Why would they dump employee coverage? Because, under Obamacare, they are incentivized to do so. Obamacare imposes a penalty on companies that don’t provide coverage, but it is less than the cost of providing coverage. It is, in other words cheaper to pay than to play:
Many large companies are examining a course that was heretofore […]
GALLUP’S GENERIC BALLOT MIRRORS 1994
Gallup’s latest polling numbers are out and, perversely, they chose to highlight the narrowing (down to 10 points) of the GOP advantage in the “enthusiasm gap.” This has some conservatives wringing their hands, but the big story is the generic ballot—and it contains good news for the Republicans:
If a 45-45 tie doesn’t seem very impressive, have a look […]
VIDEO: BURNS HITS CRITZ ON OBAMACARE
After Scott Brown won in Massachusetts, the President and his congressional accomplices told us it wasn’t about Obamacare. No one really believed that, of course, and the issue has again reared its ugly head in the race for Jack Murtha’s House seat. If Burns beats Critz using this argument, will they again tell us it […]
THE AMA GOT SUCKERED ON OBAMACARE
As I have noted before, the AMA pursued a quisling strategy on “reform” in the hope that it would gain special favors from the President and his congressional accomplices. Well, how did that turn out? Scott Becker argues that the AMA got suckered:
Now health reform has become law, and what does the AMA have to […]
PA RADIO AD CALLS TAXPAYERS “CRIMINALS”
No … really. That’s what it says. This radio ad from the PA Dept. of Revenue is even creepier than the TV ad I posted a couple of days ago. This is how they “encourage” the citizens of Pennsylvania to pay their taxes:
We are going to make your life VERY complicated … You are going to […]
BLOOMBERG BRAYS ABOUT BOMB SUSPECT’S AGENDA: “DOESN’T LIKE HEALTH CARE BILL”
What an irresponsible ass! Never mind that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the bomber was “homegrown.” Never mind that Islamist jihadis have already taken credit for it. Prompted by the ridiculous Katie Couric for the party line, Bloomberg obliges as follows:
If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that … Homegrown maybe a […]
VIDEO: RGA MAULS MEDIA FOR “REMEMBER NOVEMBER” COVERAGE
The Republican Governors Association is showing quite a bit of spunk this year, and it’s about time. If the good guys are going to win, we have to stop mucking around with the Marquess of Queensbury rules while our opponents use brass knuckles. This video is a mordant response to the dishonest and historically illiterate coverage the “news” media gave the “Remember November” […]
YET ANOTHER CONSTITUTIONAL FLY IN THE OBAMACARE OINTMENT
In the future, it may be prudent for the crooks who run Congress to actually read the laws they pass. They famously declined to do so in the case of Obamacare, of course, which left a lot of fodder in the bill for court challenges. So, it’s not surprising that the Congressional Research Service has discovered yet another constitutional problem:
A […]
