So, there was a big to-do a couple of weeks back concerning the McCain campaign’s decision to kick Joe Klein off the campaign plane–presumably, because Klein has written not-so-flattering coverage of the campaign. Needless to say, this brought all sorts of scorn from the other side of the partisan divide. Wonder what the scornful will make of this: The Obama campaign has decided to... 

Funny how these things get noticed so close to election day.  Now we know what Henry Cisneros, President Clinton’s first HUD Secretary, has been doing all these years: As the Clinton administration’s top housing official in the mid-1990s, Mr. Cisneros loosened mortgage restrictions so first-time buyers could qualify for loans they could never get before. Then, capitalizing on a housing expansion... 

The WSJ takes Obama to task on his complete ineptitude and lack of leadership: If Sen. Obama were truly looking for a kind of deregulation that might be responsible for the current financial crisis, he need only look back to 1998, when the Clinton administration ruled that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could satisfy their affordable housing obligations by purchasing subprime mortgages.

A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages.

Things have happened this week that shed a large light on Obama and his associations. Or, rather, it would…if the MSM would bother to report on anything detrimental to the chosen one. Let’s look at some of the facts.

Despite the current financial crisis, there are many reasons to trust that the U.S. will, as always, rebound. A visiting Israeli Cabinet minister made two interesting points at a conference in Washington over the weekend. The current financial crisis, he said, is undermining the perception of American power when it comes to dealing with problems such as the Iranian nuclear program, Russian adventurism... 

“When men are employ’d, they are best content’d.” –Benjamin Franklin, Autobiography, 1771. “Work, work, work, is the main thing.” –Abraham Lincoln, Letter to John M. Brockman, September 25, 1860.     In the year 1607, exactly four centuries ago this year, John Smith boldly articulated one of the core principles of what would become the American way of life. Addressing...
