Planned Parenthood: Making a Killing
It's been 1,350 days since the Senate passed a budget, but the checks to Planned Parenthood keep flowing! While American companies suffer, business at Cecile Richards's group couldn't be better. According to the organization's latest annual report (FY 2011-12), it looks like the government helped Planned Parenthood to another record year. For the second time in as many years, Richards's "nonprofit" is celebrating more than a billion dollars in total revenue--and almost half of it came courtesy of U.S. taxpayers. America's abortion provider managed to squeeze $542.4 million out of federal, state, and local governments last year--a $55 million bump from 2010. And judging by its $155 million profit, the organization hardly needed the money! Still, Congress insists on being Planned [...]
Obama Releases Taxes, Does Not Qualify for Buffett Rule
President Obama earned $789,674 in 2011, the White House announced on Friday. However, with this income, he does not even qualify for the so-called Buffett Rule that he has promoted relentlessly and the Senate will take up on Monday. The Buffett Rule calls for those making over $1 million a year to pay a minimum tax rate, named after billionaire Warren Buffett. The president did earn over $1 million in previous years--$1.7 million in 2010 and $5.5 million in 2009. The president paid $162,074 in taxes with an effective federal income tax rate of 20.5 percent, according to the returns. The release, four days before Tuesday’s tax deadline, capped a week in which the president repeatedly spoke about the obligation of the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. It also provided [...]
RNC Statement on the December Jobs Report
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the December jobs report: “Although seeing more Americans returning to work is good for our nation, joblessness in America remains painfully and unacceptably high. After three years of Barack Obama’s presidency, the American economy is not recovering quick enough. “President Obama has broken his promise to the American people. He promised he could fix the economy with an $825 billion stimulus that was supposed to keep unemployment below 8 percent. Instead of fixing it, he made things worse—imposing a massive regulatory regime, pushing job-killing mandates, and racking up trillions of dollars in debt. “America marked yet another devastating milestone this [...]
The Year in Obama Scandals and Scandal Deniers
With 2011 drawing to a close, it is time to account. As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy persistence of President Barack Obama's snowblowers in the media. See no scandal, hear no scandal, speak no scandal. Dartmouth College professor Brendan Nyhan asserted in May -- while Operation Fast and Furious subpoenas were flying on Capitol Hill -- that "one of the least remarked upon aspects of the Obama presidency has been the lack of scandals." Conveniently, he defines scandal as a "widespread elite perception of wrongdoing." So as long as left-wing Ivy League scribes refuse to perceive something to be a scandal -- never mind the actual suffering endured by the family of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, whose death [...]

An American President’s Christmas Message From America To All
An American President's Christmas Message From America To All It may amaze one to ponder that only 30 years ago (December 23, 1981), a President of the United States felt it was his leadership duty to speak directly about the reason for the season and assure all, whether they believed in Christianity or not, that our country and its citizens were protected here as one, under "Faith and Freedom" ... regardless of belief or circumstance. May God bless the memory of Ronald Reagan. A message as poignant and timeless in 1981 as it is here in 2011. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
