There has been a lot of change in recent months – a $787 billion spending bill, a budget exceeding $3 trillion, government ownership of auto manufacturers, government-imposed caps on earnings, legislation imposing limits on economic activity in America under the name of environmental justice...
The Heritage Foundation is proud to announce that the FCC is the recipient of the First Annual Wanton Abuse of State-funded Technological Elucidation (WASTE) Award. Yes, the name is clunky but so is their website. If you don’t believe it, see for yourself...

Yesterday, President Obama held a town hall eventin order to “sell his health care message to the public” during Congress’ July 4th recess...
In January President Obama pressed for an $800 billion economic “stimulus” package to turn the economy around. Though the bill largely consisted of increased spending on traditional liberal priorities the President claimed that it would “create or save” 3.5 million jobs...
The Heritage Foundation Quote of the Day: "If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions." ~ Calvin Coolidge
Though the President made a big deal about Father’s Day, on national security issues the White House continues to look like an absent father. What can we expect from the White House on Independence Day? On issue after issue Obama appears ambivalent or just flat wrong...
Following up on his infomercial last week — courtesy of ABC News’ “Questions for the President: Prescription for America” special — that was meant to be a town hall discussion for doctors, patients and health care experts to bring the tough questions, President Barack Obama is holding...

We have the best health care in the world. Yes, I'll agree it's not perfect, but needs to be tweaked, not redone!!! But since this administration doesn't know the term "tweaked", they need to just leave it alone!

Yesterday, state lawmakers in Indiana passed a scholarship tax credit program—making the Hoosier state the latest to offer private school choice...
Lon at 1:34pm July 1
We need to institute more choice within the public school system also. When parents can send their kids to any of the school system's elementary schools ALL of them will get better.
Laurie at 2:08pm July 1
I hope there's no hidden "anti-religion" language that would bar them from helping Christian schools. Personally, I think the only school choice that makes sense in our increasingly anti-Christian nation is Home schooling unless you're dealing with a school and staff you know you can trust to do their best for their students.
The Heritage Foundation Quote of the Day: "Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people." ~ Ronald Reagan
H-1B visas allow foreigners, who have an undergraduate degree or higher, to work in the United States. Currently only 65,000 visas can be issued each year; a number which is far too low...

Not so quietly, a new conventional wisdom has taken hold in Britain: defense spending must be cut...

Find out where your local tea party is, show up and be heard, let your politicians know you are fed up, by politicians who merely try to bring the bacon home to their district, instead of trying to reduce the deficit for the benefit of the nation as a whole.

Britain is today what we will be in less than 20 years.

Moscow’s recent diplomatic demarches manifest the Kremlin’s drive to solidify its positions ahead of meeting with President Obama. Therefore, the Kremlin is trying to give the appearance of concessions on the issues that have long been a matter of concern for the American side...
Yesterday’s Supreme Court opinion in Ricci, the New Haven firefighters case, provides a window to what will inevitably be a significant line of questioning in Judge Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings...
The Heritage Foundation Quote of the Day: "Let us readopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it the practices and policy which harmonize with it." ~ Abraham Lincoln
If one word can sum up the Obama Administration’s foreign policy, it’s “engagement.” From Cuba, to Iran and the Middle East, to Russia, engagement is the White House’s magic word, an incantation that it uses to justify everything it does...
The chief complaint with Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s handling of Ricci, the New Haven firefighters case, is not that her court reached the wrong result but that it shirked its duty to give the case its full consideration, in an obvious attempt to bury it...
Here’s today’s news from the Congressional Budget Office on the recently passed Waxman-Markey legislation: It’s a big tax and spend bill. For the years 2010-2019 the tax increase is $872.8 billion. Ka-ching...

Has anyone heard from ACORN lately? Have they gotten back from Iran yet? When there are more votes than voters -- where have we heard this story before??? Sounds kinda familiar...
The Heritage Foundation Quote of the Day: "It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free Government." ~ George Washington
Later today, the House of Representatives is slated to vote on the most convoluted attempt at economic central-planning this nation has ever attempted: cap and trade...
When pressing the House of Representatives on the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill, President Obama remarked, Make no mistake: This is a jobs bill.” Insert “killing” between “jobs” and “bill” and you have yourself an accurate statement. Cap and trade is a jobs killing bill...
Everyone remembers President Obama’s now infamous comment as a candidate that he thinks everyone is better when we “spread the wealth around.” Of course we spread plenty of wealth around through the tax code before Obama became President...
The auto industry has long been a target of environmental activists. The push to put American consumers in smaller cars has been made quite clear. First, the Obama Administration enacted higher fuel efficiency standards – standards laden with unintended consequences...
Valerie at 8:53am June 26
I have been trying to call the DC switchboard to register my opposition to the Waxman Markey Cap and Trade Bill but cannot get through. Makes me sick to think that as Americans we find ourselves where we are, fighting to survive and stay FREE!
The Heritage Foundation Quote of the Day: "Nations are beginning to look to some vague organization, some nebulous course of humanity, to pay their bills and tell them what to do. This is not local self-government. It is not American. It is not the method which has made this country what it is." ~ Calvin Coolidge

This is an administration run by the polls. You need to notice that there is a 3 day lag on messages from the White House. Clinton was just as bad with the polsters. At least it limits the POTUS' television appearences to 3/week (yeah right!).
Like cyberspace, space remains a critical enabler of America’s military power...

Agreed about there not being any place on planet Earth fit to live after all this. But not to worry! The Owner of this planet is coming back to make some major renovations soon, and He will show the devil's crowd what REAL global warming will be like. Wouldn't want to be in their shoes when that Day comes...

so he should step down the way Clinton did? And he was the President!!! Yes, our elected officials should set good examples & he raelly screwed up (literally...) but he gets some credit for admitting his wrong. We are called to avoid judging others
Stephen at 9:56pm June 24
I can understand about the urge to switch but, please hang in there! we need masses of people joining, not leaving! Besides, what DOES the Independent Party stand for? Like the old adage says, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"

At his press conference today, President Barack Obama defended his insistence that health care reform include a government-run insurance plan, explaining: Why would it drive private insurance out of business...
Lais at 9:16pm June 23
While watching the press conference, I was appalled by his "logic", so glad to see others were as well. I almost believe that some of the journalists were "awake"as well...they were not as "soft" as usual. Thank you for all of you rhard work to keep us informed of the facts.

You want public Health Care? Join the Medi-Cal program where the state of California second guesses and short shifts Dr.s, needed, necessary treatments wait, and are never addressed, where your teeth rot and fall out, where MRI's and CT are not covered and on and on and on. Go to ANY small welfare town and take a hard look at well intentioned but ... Read Morepoorly delivered Gov't health care. You ask what kind of healthcare is that? What kind of insurance is that? It's the insurance fully 70% of the Dr's in California will not take. The issue is whether or not the gov't CAN do it efficiently, and the history suggests, um, NO!

I am sorry your Grandma is suffering, but your analogy could not be more accurate. I too have wondered what has happened to us that our citizens have stopped thinking for themselves
I lament that so many of our young people have been so eager to see a black person in office that they have overlooked the fact that skin color does not a leader make.

Thank you for your kind words, Mary. Most of the time my Grandma does NOT appear to be suffering. She's mostly happy and childlike, and loves everyone she sees. In fact, we could carry the analogy further. Most of the young people in our nation are blissfully happy and playing with their cell phones and iPods or whatever right now, as though ...
