TownHall.com - Columns - Tue, 2024-11-26 23:39

What would you do if gangs of robbers roamed your neighborhood at night, breaking into your neighbors' houses and stealing their family jewels and life savings?

Obama Exploits Phony Wage Gap Statistic for Political Gain

TownHall.com - Columns - Tue, 2024-11-26 23:39
President Obama’s so-called Paycheck Fairness Act (PFA) thankfully failed in the Senate on a party-line vote last week. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has entered a motion to reconsider the bill meaning that he can bring it back up for a vote at any time. He may force another vote on the misnamed bill in a desperate ploy to paint Republicans as “anti-woman” in the weeks leading up to the presidential election.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZJulie Borowski

When taking heat from these surprised congressmen, I couldn't help but think back to the reaction I received when I went down to the Occupy Wall Street protest last year. Both venues were dominated by people who knew very little about how capitalism actually works. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZPeter Schiff

Powerful mystery novels keep you reading right to the end to find out “whodunit.” But some end up disappointing; after all the twists and turns, it simply turns out “the butler did it.” That’s how Washington’s mystery of the century, Watergate, has turned out. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZRich Tucker

Ronald Reagan and Rebuilding the Field of Dreams

TownHall.com - Columns - Tue, 2024-11-26 23:39
I had recently moved to Los Angeles when the nation received the news in early June of 2004 that former President Ronald Reagan’s health was rapidly declining. In true LA fashion, helicopters began flying overhead and news trucks zipped near my apartment on the West Side. I knew Reagan’s home was fairly close by, but until that day, I didn’t realize how close: a mere two miles away.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-15T11:40:04ZRandall DeSoto
