Last week, the White House claimed 28 states are “on their way” toward creating ObamaCare’s health insurance Exchanges. Here are the facts.

The Rasmussen Report indicated last week that 33 to 34 percent of those polled indicated that they would like to see someone else get into the GOP race.

Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, was one of the 20th Century’s most iconic provocateurs. “Alinskyite” has become a banal epithet on the Right. Many conservative politicians routinely link Barack Obama with Alinsky.

Reading about Meryl Streep’s preparation to act in “The Iron Lady” could lead one to believe that the real Margaret Thatcher was difficult to understand.

I would like to remind the President that he was unequivocal in his State of the Union address when he said “NO MORE BAILOUTS.”

Last week, Sarah Palin stepped over the edge of civility. Fox Business host Eric Bolling played a clip of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on "Meet the Press" in which Christie said Newt Gingrich "has been an embarrassment" to the Republican Party.

The popularity of technocrat, temporary prime minister Lucas Papademos has plunged from 75% to 8%. Greek citizens are clearly fed up. Anger is going to erupt big time soon.

After a solid recent move in its stock, Ford (NYSE: F) needed to deliver a strong quarter to maintain its momentum. The just-released fourth-quarter results are a bit shy of the consensus view, and the stock is being hit by profit-taking.

This Tuesday, voters in Florida will have their chance to tell the country which Republican candidate they favor.

I hope that the Lion and Bear return to a contest of describing their plans for skinning the donkey so that we can restore the dignified image of the elephant.

Obama, in his State of the Union address and during his initial five-state, multi-million dollar taxpayer funded re-election jaunt has stated repeatedly that his platform and policies are not about class warfare, which means, of course, that his ticket is all about class warfare—or “fairness,” as he likes to call it … or as the Scripture labels it, envy.

Americans have come to loath the idea that some business enterprises are so important and so “big,” that they can’t be allowed to fail - especially as it regards large corporations that “need” government bailouts.

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus told of two men who went down to worship. One was a publican and the other was a Pharisee.

I am not a fan of the policies of former President Carter. However, I am interested to learn how he thought faith played a part in his decisions.

In the U.S., cars on the road are old, with plenty of mileage, out of warranty, lacking fuel efficiency, and generally obsolete. New model launches are significantly higher in 2012 and 2013 than in recent years, which should add excitement to new car sales, expected to be up 9% this year.

Many teenage kids regard school as the functional equivalent of prison -- where they are forced to endure oppressive rules, bad food and unpleasant company. For them, Barack Obama has a message: There will be no parole.

These days Americans are so intimidated they won't even invest in McDonalds, Nike, or Starbucks. In fact, USA Today underscored a pet peeve of mine for the past decade, pointing out in an article yesterday how Americans snatched $400 billion out of stock market funds over the past four years.

Mitt Romney desperately needs both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum to stay in this Presidential race as long as possible. Though it is not a reality the former Governor relishes.

The Obama administration has worked hard to line up the dominos to insure a “transformation of the cars we drive and the fuels we use.” They have provided “generous tax incentives” and “more tax credits.” But to what end?

In an exclusive interview, Newt Gingrich blasts Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch establishment Republican.
