Jul 21, 2010 – The ongoing investigation of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is no longer primarily about the dismissal of the voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party.

Oct 6, 2011 – UPDATE (10:00 a.m.): So who was the lax supervisor that didn’t fire him or make him pay back the money? Why, it was Steven Rosenbaum — the same lawyer who (along with Loretta King) told Christian Adams and Chris Coates to dismiss the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation...

Sep 28, 2011 – The Washington Times had an article on Saturday that must have annoyed The New York Times.

Oct 27, 2011 – The “Occupy Wall Street” protestors have put their platform online with an apparent list of demands.

Nov 11, 2011 – One of the few advantages of working in Washington is the occasional chance to do something special. Last Saturday night offered just such an opportunity. And, so, my wife and I attended the annual dinner of the American Veterans Center (AVC). The banquet room was filled with veterans who had...

Nov 8, 2011 – Looks like the vote fraud deniers and those opposed to common sense voter ID are headed for a big loss in the state election being held in Mississippi today.

Nov 23, 2011 – Yesterday I posted at National Review a story about the racially discriminatory plebiscite election in Guam that excludes all whites from participation.

Dec 19, 2011 – Ed Driscoll recommended some political books for his Christmas and Chanukah shopping list.  At the top of his list was Mark Steyn’s new book on the end of America.  You can’t go wrong with Mark Steyn, but we also have to put our fellow writer, Christian Adams, at the top...

Jan 5, 2012 – In the uproar over President Obama’s unconstitutional “recess” appointments (Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three new members of the National Labor Relations Board), one fact has gotten too little attention. Attempting to justify the president’s violation of the Constitution and 90 years of legal precedent,...

Aug 19, 2008 – Campaign finance laws are necessary to keep really rich people from “buying” candidates and controlling our government, right? And any limitations on free speech that might be necessary are just collateral damage — unfortunate but unavoidable, aren’t they? At least that is the prevailing view of the reform community and...

Sep 30, 2008 – The Russian invasion of Georgia came up in the first presidential debate and both candidates expressed their support for Georgia.  Obama said we must “affirm all the fledgling democracies in that region” and give them money to “rebuild” their economy, while McCain said that “we need to bolster our friends...

May 24, 2011 – Rep. Greg Harper (R-Miss.) has introduced a bill to eliminate one of the least known and most useless agencies in Washington: the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).

Apr 19, 2011 – An impeccable source has provided me with a copy of a draft Executive Order that the White House is apparently circulating for comments from several government agencies.
