*A teammate of mine from high school who is solidly conservative consistently points out on Facebook things that paint the president and/or the Democratic party in a negative light. The most recent example was the scandal regarding the IRS auditing tea party organizations. His posts specifically, and posts of this nature more generally lead to [...]
*Some would say the prez has had a hard week. A very hard week of dealing with scandals. Real and manufactured. Maybe so, and maybe not. Either way, President Obama decided he need some time on the links. So Saturday he and 3 associates, including a female for the first time, put in some time [...]
*The mostly media driven scandal talk involving President Obama has so far stirred barely a yawn among the public. There are good reasons. The four alleged scandals, Benghazi, the IRS, the AP leaks, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius supposed shakedown of corporations to help implement the health care act don’t come close [...]
*During a press conference in the White House on Monday, President Barack Obama was asked about reports that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups for added scrutiny over the course of the last two years. The president condemned the actions of members of the IRS who enforced federal tax laws in a partisan fashion. [...]
*The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (which some have termed Obamacare), says Christianity Today. In a case unprecedented in its scope, the court said Congress may require citizens to purchase health insurance because it is a form of taxation. Most evangelicals will likely be unhappy with the ruling, according [...]
*The White House held its annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night and as the EUR reported, the President’s comedic skills were on high beam. But others wanted to get in on the fun. Steven Spielberg was patched in for the event to talk about his new film, “Obama.” He talked about the difficulty he [...]
*Dang, it’s enough to make you wonder if your opinion or even your vote even matters. We’re talking about the way the NRA and Congress (mostly Republicans) just outright said screw you to President Obama, the families of the Newtown, Conn. massacre victims and even 90 percent the American public that was in favor of [...]
*On the eve of the NBA playoffs and the seemingly unstoppable force that is the Miami Heat, I take a look back at my take on LeBron James’ decision to sign with Miami. LeBron James chose to sign as a free agent with the Miami Heat and in doing so made himself public enemy number [...]
*NEW YORK – Today, Tuesday, a coalition of over 175 artists, actors, athletes, elected officials and advocates, brought together by hip-hop pioneer Russell Simmons and Dr. Boyce Watkins, presented an open letter to President Obama, urging him to double down on his efforts to change the United States’ criminal justice policy from that of a [...]
*This year’s Easter Egg Hunt at the White House started out a little “shaky,”, but shaped up in time for the kids and the first family to have a great time…even though one little guy was a little sad. After President Obama acknowledged the presence of the Easter Bunny and Kid President with a round [...]
*Here’s President Obama‘s statement regarding Easter Weekend: For millions of Americans, this is a special and sacred time of year. This week, Jewish families gathered around the Seder table, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt and the triumph of faith over oppression. And this weekend, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will join Christians around the world [...]
*At the end of this week many of the nation’s leading conservative figures will meet in Washington to discuss the direction of the country and propose counter measures. The list of featured speakers offers headliners of both genders and many ethnicities, illustrating that conservatism is not monolithic and that elements of conservatism can be attractive [...]
*Bill Cosby isn’t anyone’s Dr. Huxtable anymore. The outspoken actor and activist recently compared today’s Republicans to racist segregationists for staying in their seats during the president’s State of the Union Address. During a discussion about the Voting Rights Act in a (debatable) post racial society on “Starting Point” with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, he pointed to [...]
*There are places where you don’t expect to encounter racists. Especially those places where you think white liberals and bohemians might frequent and/or places that promote clean living and better thinking. It appears nothing could be further from the truth. They are everywhere! Even in a major grocery store chain. I received an e-mail today [...]
*When President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. Cornel West was rigid on his position about war during his administration. Since war has raged on and the president has authorized more troops and even mobilized attacks on Libya, West is not letting up on the heavy hand of criticism. On the radio [...]
