More Honest and Interesting Than Whatever Obama’s Gonna Say on TV

Because I refuse to watch Obama’s phony primetime TV speech, and figure you don’t want to watch it either, here’s a three-minute video press release about a proposed independent conservative film: They’re trying to raise $130,000 to turn that into a movie, so go check ’em out and see what you think. Whatever you do, […]

Krikorian on Cain, Islam and Immigration

Mark Krikorian semi-disagrees with Herman Cain: If a large and growing Muslim population represents a threat to liberty — and I believe, with Cain, that it does — then that’s yet another reason to reduce future immigration. But once you admit people, we’re bound to judge them individually, by the same yardstick we use for […]

Our Criminal Media

Michelle Malkin rips into them good here: With great fanfare and elite media sympathy, Jose Antonio Vargas publicly declared himself an “undocumented immigrant” this week. . . .
