<\/a>Obama Scandals<\/h1>\n
\nBarack Obama is a pretty popular guy in Cuba these days. So much so that nearly nine out of 10 Cubans hope he\u2019ll be the first U.S. president to visit their island since Calvin Coolidge did in 1928.<\/p>\n
\nIndia is winding down its evacuations from war-torn Yemen, and the numbers are impressive.<\/p>\n<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nBackground checks for handguns hit a new high for California in March, just months after yearly handgun sales in 2014 broke a 21-year record in California, as well.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n

\nI’m not sure who was the first to point out that income inequality is highest where liberals govern, i.e., New York City, San Francisco, LA, etc. It\u2019s also true of housing prices, not coincidentally. This is only the beginning of a pattern recognition linked to liberal governance and elite opinion formation.<\/p>\n
\nEmbassy dispatches show America used spying, threats and promises of aid to get support for Copenhagen accord<\/p>\n
\nParents across America who struggle to keep their young rambunctious kids clean now have a new obstacle: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nAs lawmakers at the State Capitol consider a bill that would no longer allow parents to opt out of vaccinating their children over personal beliefs, vaccination critic Robert Kennedy Jr. waded into the debate at a Sacramento appearance.<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nNPR aired a fascinating segment Saturday morning. “Iranian and American officials are busy selling the deal back home, but it does seem as if they’re talking about two different agreements.” “The American description of [termination of sanctions], as portrayed in the State Department’s fact sheet on the deal, asserts that no U.N. sanctions can be lifted until Iran completes a hefty list of tasks, including scaling back its enrichment of nuclear fuel, converting a heavy water reactor and an underground enrichment facility, so that no nuclear fuel can be produced and answering long-standing questions about its past nuclear activity.” Yet Iran “stated that all sanctions relief U.N., EU and U.S. – would be immediate. It was unequivocal. It stated that Iran under the deal was free to pursue industrial scale enrichment to fuel its own reactors – unequivocal. It stated that Iran was unhindered in its ability to conduct centrifuge R&D.”<\/p>\n
\nPresident Obama admitted Tuesday in a broadcast interview that his nuclear agreement with Iran only delays Tehran from eventually acquiring a weapon, which could come immediately after Year 13 of the agreement — leaving the problem for future presidents.<\/p>\n
\nDespite having three navy ships in nearby waters, US has not evacuated civilians from Yemen, many of whom have travelled to port city of Aden seeking rescue<\/p>\n
\nThe Obama administration’s decision to seek a “reset” of relations with Russia was, in the words of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a “brilliant stroke” that “worked.” And she’s obviously right. This explains why Russian is threatening to use “nuclear force” if NATO takes steps to prevent Russian aggression in the Baltic states<\/p>\n
\nDzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a federal jury that now must decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be executed.<\/p>\n
\nMost of the great wars of the past would have been far less bloody had they begun sooner. That emphatically is true of the First World War: if Germany had launched a preemptive assault on France during the First Morocco Crisis of 1905, before Britain had signed the Entente Cordiale with France and while Russia was busy with an internal rebellion, the result would have been a repeat of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 rather than the ghastly war of attrition that all but ruined Western civilization. <\/p>\n
\nAmerica Is No Longer There For Americans Abroad. And The Whole World Knows It.<\/p>\n
\nGIRLS as young as nine are being raped and tortured by Islamic State militants, according to aid workers in Iraq.<\/p>\n
\nAn Egyptian court confirmed death sentences for Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 other senior members of the Islamist organisation on Saturday and jailed a US-Egyptian citizen for life for supporting the group.<\/p>\n<\/a>National<\/h1>\n
\nDespite President Obama’s efforts to cool the nation’s views on illegal immigrants storming over the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans have reached a new level of anger over the issue, with most demanding a more aggressive deportation policy \u2014 and reversal of a law that grants citizenship to kids of illegals born in the U.S.<\/p>\n
\nThe debate over religious freedom has officially broken the collective liberal mind. Rather than just admitting that many same-sex marriage supporters wish to use the power of government to force people of faith to violate their consciences, at least one skeptic of religious freedom has invented a new legal theory on the matter.<\/p>\n
\nThe verdict’s in on Rolling Stone. According to no less an authority than the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, the magazine\u2019s story last year on a University of Virginia gang rape was a “journalistic failure [that] encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking.”<\/p>\n
\nA prophetic document in the culture war.<\/p>\n
\n“The team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European\u2019s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years.”<\/p>\n
\nToday’s generation is very well-acquainted with what is known as a “Terms of Service Agreement.” In fact, people across all generations that use social media and apps, or purchase products online, know they must always “agree” to the terms of service before any services will be even be considered. They simply check the “Agree to Terms” box and proceed to do business with the company.<\/p>\n
\nThe Center for Campus Involvement announced Tuesday afternoon they would cancel a planned showing of “American Sniper” at UMix following a student petition over the depiction of certain communities in the film.<\/p>\n
\nIn an industry where only liberal ideas are “allowed,” many libertarians and conservatives keep their political views secret.<\/p>\n
\nIn an appearance on :The Hugh Hewitt Show” Tuesday night, former Vice President Dick Cheney said that President Obama’s actions on the world stage exemplify a president who wants “to take America down.”<\/p>\n
\nThe United States Postal Service is set to honor Maya Angelou today in a dedication ceremony for a new postage stamp depicting the legendary author, poet and singer. But there’s one problem: The quotation that accompanies Angelou’s picture on the stamp was apparently not originally written by her.<\/p>\n

\nA resident advisor at Marshall University hung a handmade poster in a freshman residence hall dedicated to the concept of \u201cprivilege.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDemocratic U.S. Rep. Lois Capps, 77, announced on Wednesday that she will be retiring her congressional post, leaving the competitive 24th congressional district seat open for the first time in almost two decades. Capps, who is from Santa Barbara, was first elected as the representative for the 24th district in 1998.<\/p>\n
