Whites Stayed Home and Re-Elected Obama
9 Dec 2012 
12:02 am
Now that all the data is in, the fundamental reason for Mitt Romney’s defeat is apparent, if largely unreported. It is not just that blacks, Latinos and single women showed up in record numbers at the polls. It’s that whites didn’t.
The final numbers suggest that 91.6 million votes were cast by whites — seven million less than the 98.6 million cast in 2008! Meanwhile, 16.6 million blacks voted, 300,000 more than in 2008 and 11 million Latinos voted, 1.7 million more votes than were cast by Hispanics in 2008.

France Taxes America: The Robin Hood Tax
8 Dec 2012 12:02 am
As we warned in our new book, “Here Come the Black Helicopters: U.N. Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom,” globalists have decided to tax the American people to funnel money to the third world.
As predicted, France passed the world’s first Robin Hood Tax — a levy of two-tenths of one percent on all French share transactions — purchases or sales — even when they are bought or sold by Americans.
The new tax is expected to raise €500 million annually, a portion of which French President Francois Hollande has committed …

GOP “Doomsday” Plan: Surrender
7 Dec 2012 12:02 am
ABC News reports that the House Republicans have a doomsday plan in mind should the fiscal cliff talks fail to reach an agreement: Total surrender!
The concept is for the House to give President Obama the middle class tax cut extension he is seeking without any extension of the upper income tax cuts and to give him “nothing else”. That is to say, according to ABC, “no extension of the debt ceiling, nothing on unemployment, nothing on closing loopholes. Congress would recess for the holidays and the president would face a …

Breaking News: Senate Rejects UN Disability Treaty!
6 Dec 2012 12:02 am
One down, three to go. This afternoon the U.S. Senate rejected a proposed U.N. treaty on disabilities. All but a handful of Republicans joined in killing the treaty.
Senator James Inhofe, R-Okla., the leader of the opposition, said the treaty would create an “unelected bureaucratic body [which] would pass recommendations that would be forced upon the United States if we were a signatory.”
Inhofe elaborated: “I do not support the cumbersome regulations and potentially over-zealous international organizations with anti-American biases that infringe on American society.”
Bravo! The Senator echoes a key point we …

The End of the Free Internet?
5 Dec 2012 12:03 am
Until now, the work of the U.N. negotiators pondering how to regulate the Internet has been shrouded in secrecy. But as 1,950 delegates from 193 countries gather this week in Dubai to consider 900 proposals to regulate the Internet, their game is becoming clear.
The Russian-educated head of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the U.N. body seeking to control the Internet, Dr. Hamadoun Toure says: “the brutal truth is that the Internet remains largely [the] rich world’s privilege.” He adds, “The ITU wants to change that.”
Here’s how:

The Corrupt, Authoritarian UN
4 Dec 2012 12:03 am
The recent vote of the UN General Assembly to admit Palestine as a nation with observer status at the UN reveals how undemocratic and corrupt the General Assembly has become. Dominated by tiny nations, which represent nobody, it is a body without any legitimacy.
Start with the Lilliputians that run the organization. A voting majority of the 193 nations in the General Assembly — 96 countries (one vote per nation) — have fewer than five million people living there. In total, the countries have a population of only 241 million people, …

No Automatic Tax Increases!
29 Nov 2012 12:02 am
The front end of the financial deal now under negotiation in Washington is akin to the tip of the tax iceberg. It won’t appear threatening. But it’s what under the water that will really matter.
On the front end, the negotiators will likely craft a package of revenue increases carefully constructed to avoid the appearance of tax hikes. They will follow Mitt Romney’s lead in proposing a cap on deductions for upper-income people, but won’t agree to lower the rates as the Republican nominee had urged. The negotiators will seek all …

Stop UN Control of the Internet
28 Nov 2012 12:03 am
Next week, the United Nations’ attempt to take over the Internet will kick into high gear when the International Telecommunications Union meets in Dubai with representatives from 193 countries to craft a new governing structure for the Internet. The meetings are expected to last two weeks.
If you haven’t heard about this issue, there’s a reason. The negotiators have kept the tightest possible lid on their discussions to prevent word of the regulatory proposals from leaking out. In my book, “Here Come the Black Helicopters,” I warn about this coming treaty …

Don’t be Sad; We’ll be Back
27 Nov 2012 12:04 am
Cut it out! Pick your chin up! We lost a battle, not the war!
Here’s how to look at it: We are right and President Obama is wrong. The issues at play here are not subjective with fuzzy answers, each a little right and a little wrong. They are objective. Either Obama’s approach to the economy is correct or not.
If Obama is right — which he’s not — his policies will solve the economic problems we face. And if he is wrong, they won’t. They’ll get worse. And then worse again.

Resist Obamacare: No State Insurance Exchanges
20 Nov 2012 12:04 am
States have until Dec.12 of this year to decide if they will set up the insurance exchanges mandated by the Obamacare law. These exchanges will be the marketplace where health insurance is to be sold under the so-called Affordable Care Act.
But, each state has the right to decide for itself if it wants to establish an exchange. If a state refuses, the federal government will step in, do it for them and run the exchanges itself.
It will make a huge difference whether a state sets up its own exchanges. The …

The Real Reason We Lost
16 Nov 2012 12:02 am
As the popular vote counts emerge and we move out from under the shadow of the media spin, we are learning the real reason Mitt Romney lost. The mainstream media is pushing the story that a massive turnout among minorities and the young drowned the white male vote as America changes its demography.
But the real reason is that the whites that supported Romney didn’t turn out to vote. Just look at the fact, brought to my attention by National Review and Washington Examiner columnist Byron York, that Obama carried Ohio …

A Republican Plan for Immigration Reform
15 Nov 2012 12:02 am
Democrats want illegal immigrants to vote — because they are likely to be supporters — but not to work — because of union sensibilities. Republicans, on the other hand, want them to work — in agribusinesses and the like often owned by their fellow partisans — but not to vote.
So the key to a Republican approach to immigration reform is to split off working from voting.
Fortunately, millions of Mexicans, Central Americans and people from the Caribbean come to America looking for work, not for the right to vote. Political rights …

Events Will Save the GOP
14 Nov 2012 12:02 am
Asked what could effect a change in his governing plans, incoming British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan said “events, dear boy, events.” Events are what will save the Republican Party.
Start with a fundamental question: Are President Obama’s policies right or wrong? If you think they are correct, stop reading this column right now. Events will vindicate them. If you agree with me that they are fundamentally flawed and wrong, then you also agree they won’t work.
And, in the current global economic environment, the price for pursuing policies that don’t work is …

The Campaign Made No Difference
13 Nov 2012 12:03 am
The months and months of campaigning, the hundreds of millions of TV advertising, the incessant travel schedules of the candidates and the vigorous efforts of both sides to get their vote out, made little to no difference in the outcome of the election of 2012.
To begin with, only two states — North Carolina and Indiana — changed sides. And the change in President Obama’s vote share from ’08 to ’12 was pretty much the same whether it was in a swing state or not. The obsessive campaigning in swing states …

Stop UN Gun Control Now!
9 Nov 2012 12:02 am
While I was wrong in predicting a Mitt Romney win, I was, unfortunately, correct in saying that President Obama would move to sign a U.N. Arms Control Treaty right after the election whether he won or lost. On the very day after the election, the Obama administration voted to reopen talks on the treaty at a special meeting on March 18-28.
The U.S. will undoubtedly “compromise” and sign the treaty, all the time reassuring us that it is protecting our constitutional right to bear arms.
But don’t be fooled!
This treaty is U.N. …

Why I Was Wrong
8 Nov 2012 12:02 am
I’ve got egg on my face. I predicted a Mitt Romney landslide and, instead, we ended up with a President Obama squeaker.
The key reason for my bum prediction is that I mistakenly believed that the 2008 surge in black, Latino and young voter turnout would recede in 2012 to “normal” levels. Didn’t happen. These high levels of minority and young voter participation are here to stay and, with them, a permanent reshaping of our nation’s politics.
In 2012, 13 percent of the vote was cast by blacks. In ’04, it was …

Prediction: Romney 325, Obama 213
7 Nov 2012 12:01 am
Yup. That’s right. A landslide for Mitt Romney approaching the magnitude of President Obama’s against John McCain. That’s my prediction.
On Sunday, we changed our clocks. On Tuesday, we’ll change our president.
Romney will win the states McCain carried in 2008, with the addition of Florida, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
In the popular vote, Romney will win by more than five points.
The Obama campaign made the following key mistakes:
??They bet the farm on negative ads in swing states. They didn’t realize that Mitt’s convention …

Obama Hit By Storm Backlash
6 Nov 2012 12:04 am
Natural disasters usually follow the same political trajectory: First the incumbent experiences a bounce as he tours the impacted area, shows his concern and pledges help to his beleaguered constituents. Then reality sets in and the shortages, delays, mishaps, deaths and devastation become apparent. People turn against the incumbent.
George W. Bush had his Katrina.
And now Barack Obama has his Sandy.
Last week, Obama asserted a kind of ownership of the storm by touring New Jersey in the, now infamous, embrace of Republican stalwart Governor Chris Christie. Now that we are all …

In the Last Few Hours … Sudden Danger Signs in Polling
3 Nov 2012 12:03 am
As Election Day approaches, we must be very sensitive to last minute changes in the polls. Remember, George W. Bush fell from a 4-point lead into a tie over the last weekend in 2000, and Bill Clinton rose from a tie to a 5-point win in the last weekend of 1992.
With that caution in mind, a danger signal comes from the latest Rasmussen Poll reflecting a 2-point gain for President Obama. Whereas before the storm, Rasmussen showed Mitt Romney two ahead, he now has the race tied at 48-48. That …

Why The New York Times Poll is Wrong
1 Nov 2012 12:04 am
Whether deliberately or not, The New York Times/CBS/Quinnipiac Poll is wrong! It shows President Obama carrying Ohio, Florida and Virginia. In reality, Mitt Romney is leading in all three states and will carry them all.
Here’s the deal. The Times is weighting the raw survey data to reflect the ratio of Democrats to Republicans who voted in 2008. True, if we get the same massive turnout among minorities and young people that propelled Obama to victory in 2008, he will win this election and carry these states. But we won’t. All …
