Obama's "Buy American" protectionism policies have forced America's long time allies to pursue business opportunities else where. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration inks another trade deal, this one with Jordan. Here's the official press release: Canada Introduces Implementing Legislation for Free Trade Agreement with Jordan The Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, on behalf of the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today introduced legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement (FTA) and related agreements on labour cooperation and the environment. “Farmers know that ...
The Tea Party Movement was supposed to die. But it isn’t dead. Instead it has grown nationally and internationally. Then it was supposed to be dismissed, ignored, or mocked. When that didn't happen, it was supposed to be shunned because, as President Bill Clinton inferred, it was populated by potential domestic terrorists, like the wretched Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh -- except the Tea Party rallies have been peaceful, except for some violence on the left. Now, Playboy shreds the narrative even further in “Rogues of K Street: Confessions of a Tea Party Consultant,” penned by Anonymous that appears ...
Today on this day, March 29, 1973, the last troops pulled out of South Vietnam. On November 18, 2008, I reported on William Ayers, the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist and his role in the anti-Vietnam war movement and his subsequent re-entry on the national scene as a “peaceful” terrorist. It seemed fitting to run it again today, so here it is. In the re-release of William Ayers’ book, Fugitive Days, the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist revealed that he and President-elect Barack Obama are “family friends.” Last Friday Ayers appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America reinventing himself as a peaceful anti-war ...
As Big Government reported here, the Clintonistas have reunited to take down the tea party movement. The same tactics they used in the 1990’s to keep the Clintons in power are now being used to keep the Democrats in power. It was only a matter of time when President Bill Clinton would fire a round to vilify the tea party movement. That time has come. It happened last week when the former President used the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, where 168 men, women and children were killed, to smear the tea party participants. In a New York ...
With the passage of Obamacare, Democrats, assisted by the media, have been claiming that participants in the Tea Party Movement are behind a rash of harassment, racism, and violence against them. But their allegations are being debunked. See here, here and here. Once again, Americans are being pitted against Americans, irrespective of the truth, at a level we have not seen since the Clinton era. The significant difference, however, is under the Obama Administration, instead of singling out individuals to target, smear and destroy; entire segments of Americans are under attack. As Big Government reported, the Clintonistas have reunited to take down ...

From Tehran Bureau. I was nine and we were watching a movie on then-banned VHS. It was a harrowing tale of a woman and her daughter’s escape from a savage country. I remember asking my father, “Where is this?” “’Iran,’” he said. I couldn’t believe it; the Iran I had grown up in was nothing like that movie, Not Without My Daughter, which painted such a demonized picture of Iran that I couldn’t even recognize... Read More

An important read on Iran’s Assembly of Experts. The Iranian Constitution is a roadmap in which all roads lead to the Supreme Leader. He exercises control over all branches of the government and every division of the armed forces. He is appointed to the position for life, and his power is tied to age-old traditions of leadership in Shiite Islam. And yet, a single constitutional body can theoretically exercise... Read More
