Daniel Hanson,FloydReports.com The Obama administration has drafted a new,little-noticed executive order that would plainly stifle free speech. The “Disclosure of Political Spending by Government Contractors” order is still a draft,but if the administration has its way,the order will be in full force soon. Premised on the idea that sunlight disinfects,[...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Not all Republicans are rolling over in the face of President Obama’s unconstitutional usurpation of power. Rep. Tim Scott,R-SC,said if the president moves forward with a plan to raise the debt ceiling without Congressional authority,he would consider it “an impeachable act.”Scott told the Tea Party [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Barack Obama has sometimes been fond of branding his Republican foes “hostage-takers,” but officials in his administration have found a new hostage in their negotiations over raising the debt ceiling:the U.S. Constitution. The president’s advisers and several “unbiased” media outlets are suggesting if Congress refuses to raise [...] Dr. Paul G. Kengor,FloydReports.com Each time President Obama addresses America’s inalienable rights,I get emails. “Did you see Obama left out ‘Creator’ again?” began the latest. The most recent occasion was a June 17 presidential statement responding to a UN resolution on sexual orientation. Obama stated that “LGBT persons are endowed with the [...] Tom Purcell,FloydReports.com We got my father a tall flagpole for his birthday a decade or more ago,shortly after he and my mother moved into a new house. He mounted the pole in concrete in the center of his front yard. It proudly displays the American flag every year as I pull into [...] Dr. Paul G. Kengor,FloydReports.com I encourage you to set aside the burgers and dogs and soda and beer for a moment this Fourth of July and contemplate something decidedly different,maybe even as you gaze upward at the flash of fireworks. Here it is:Confirm thy soul in self-control. What do I mean [...] Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson,FloydReports.com This Fourth of July marks 235 years since the Declaration of Independence was published. In this immortal document,the Spirit of ’76 was given its fullest,most eloquent expression. The Declaration is a timeless document,espousing eternal principles that,while forever historically identified with America,are universal in their [...] Dr. Paul G. Kengor,FloydReports.com With a critical vote in its state Senate,North Carolina has voted to de-fund Planned Parenthood. Republicans hold a huge majority in the Senate—meaning,as a Republican majority usually does,that the Senate is pro-life. The governor of the state,Bev Perdue,is a Democrat—meaning,as a Democrat chief [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Although he has grown Washington more than any president in a generation,Barack Obama is talking like a Jeffersonian states rights champion —in the one night,in the one state,on the one issue that would promote his top-down rejection of traditional morality. As Barack Obama prepares [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch This weekend,President Obama once again omitted the Declaration of Independence’s reference to the “Creator,”this time while celebrating an international sanction of the homosexual and transgender lifestyle. Ironically,in doing so,he proved the truth of the Bible. Last Friday,the UN Human Rights Council passed a [...] Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson,FloydReports.com We older Americans have saddled our youth with a mind-boggling public debt—over $20 trillion already spent ($14.3 trillion of “official” national debt plus various off-budget expenditures,according to the U.S. Treasury);trillions more of projected deficit-spending over the coming decade;and tens of trillions of dollars of [...] by Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Only in the liberal media can a weak entreaty to obey the law be considered an act of political warfare. The media have portrayed House Speaker John Boehner’s letter to Barack Obama,merely asking the president for another legal explanation for his war-by-decree in Libya,as “ratcheting [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Once again,the conservative movement is trying to play catch-up to this website. First,this author discovered that Barack Obama hauled Arizona before the United Nations over its immigration law. Some big media outlets eventually caught up —albeit without giving a shred of credit. Then [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch The moment would be surreal were it not so reminiscent:An arrogant Democratic president had committed an impeachable offense,lied to the American people,and dared Congress to do anything about it. Incensed congressmen of both parties asked,negotiated,and threatened until they realized they had no alternative but [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Despite a newfound reputation as an unbiased news source,an influx of hundreds of millions of dollars,and the new ownership of a massive media conglomerate,The Huffington Post is apparently incapable of fact-checking the articles that appear on its website. An entry posted late this morning on [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch When Barack Obama updated Congress on the war in Libya last Friday,he claimed our role is so limited it does not require Congressional authorization. However,on Monday Hillary Clinton told the European press,“Even today,the United States continues to fly 25 percent of all sorties,” and [...] Ben Johnson,FloydReports.com In his official notice to Congress that he had unilaterally sent American soldiers into the Libyan war kinetic action,Barack Obama wrote,“I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed,consistent with the War Powers Resolution.” Today,he decided the War Powers Resolution [...] | |
