Obama Makes Excuses for Chinese Warships in U.S. Waters

Obama Makes Excuses for Chinese Warships in U.S. Waters by Joel B. Pollak Pentagon officials said Thursday that five Chinese warships that appeared near Alaska during President Barack Obama’s visit this week passed through U.S. territorial waters–and hastened to defend China’s actions as being consistent with international law. The rush to avoid an international crisis contrasts sharply with China’s own aggression any time the U.S. approaches Chinese waters or airspace, even where Chinese claims are dubious. The Wall Street Journal notes that the Chinese vessels were participating in a joint military exercise with Russia: “China’s Defense Ministry also confirmed for… View Article

You don’t put people in jail’ for marijuana use: Laureen Harper

You don’t put people in jail’ for marijuana use: Laureen Harper by By Amanda Connolly Relax, sit back and take a toke … it shouldn’t land you in jail. That’s according to Laureen Harper, at least. As first reported in Press Progress Wednesday night, it appears Harper took a bit of a detour off the Conservative party’s talking points on the ganja while speaking at the campaign office of the party’s Brampton West candidate, Ninder Thind. While discussing concerns Thind encounters while canvassing, Harper got herself a bit tangled up trying to explain her stance on marijuana, while accusing the media and others of… View Article

Muslim hordes causing chaos in Europe Hungary closes train routes, U.S. implored to take more Syrians by Leo Hohmann Graphic scenes out of Hungary today show thousands of migrants pushing and shoving their way into a train station, yelling and chanting “No camp! No camp!” as dozens threw their bodies onto the railroad tracks in protest of the government’s refusal to let the trains roll into central Europe and their final hoped-for destination – Germany.

Refugees threaten Europe’s Christian roots, says Hungary’s Orban

Refugees threaten Europe’s Christian roots, says Hungary’s Orban The influx of refugees into Europe threatens to undermine the continent’s Christian roots and governments must control their borders before they can decide how many asylum seekers they can take, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

Age of Obama: Low-Income Workers See Greatest Decline in Wages

Age of Obama: Low-Income Workers See Greatest Decline in Wages by John Hayward You’ve got to admit it takes considerable cheek for the Left to whine about “income inequality” when it’s gotten worse than ever under the most left-wing President ever. It’s an illustration of both economic ignorance and political savvy, as the Obama Democrats protect themselves from one of their worst failures by complaining loudly about it and pointing fingers of blame at what remains of the private sector. It’s a demonstration of how the Left still gets unlimited credit for its supposed intentions, no matter how its policies… View Article

Jailing Kim Davis Is Christian Persecution

Jailing Kim Davis Is Christian Persecution by Alex Swoyer The decision by a federal judge to jail Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis shows that Christianity is being criminalized in America, says GOP presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Rowan County Clerk Davis was held in contempt of court, then taken into federal custody Thursday after she refused earlier in the week to issue marriage licenses to single-sex couples, following the Supreme Court’s 5:4 decision in June to redefine long-standing state marriage-laws for the benefit of gays and lesbians. “Having Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubt of the… View Article
