ISTOOK: Obama to claim credit for economy-killing EPA plan
President Obama will personally drive the next nail into the coffin of America's economy next week, proudly announcing harsh new Environmental Protection Agency restrictions on energy.
ISTOOK: Watch where you spit! EPA may declare it a wetland
Be sure not to spit too much. If you do, you might create a wetland in the eyes of the EPA. And it'll want to regulate it.
ISTOOK: Illegal IRS audits rob tea party supporters of their life savings
Tea party supporters are losing their life savings due to the latest IRS targeting of the tea party, said a Washington, D.C., attorney who represents several tea party and other conservative nonprofits.
ISTOOK: Even prayer not safe from the courts, regulators
Public prayer is a right of the American people, doubly-protected by free speech and free exercise of religion under our First Amendment. Sadly, our courts don't agree. And bureaucrats such as in the Veterans Administration don't seem to agree, either. They try to regulate it.
ISTOOK: Bureaucracy doesn’t just hurt — it kills
Government death panels weren't invented by Obamacare. By hiding a list of 1,600 veterans waiting to see doctors in Phoenix, the Department of Veterans Affairs is accused of 40 deaths of those who died for lack of care. Keeping them off the official list concealed the backlog and made VA bureaucrats look better and qualify for bonuses.
ISTOOK: Obama’s sleight of hand hides hidden government’s work
Call it distraction. Illusion. Or just cry out, "Squirrel!" While an army of reporters flocks to the White House Press Room to hear Jay Carney's insults and misdirections, an army of bureaucrats are doing the real work of Barack Obama's presidency, laboring in obscurity.
ISTOOK: Congress on its own can arrest and jail Lois Lerner until she testifies on IRS scandal
On its own, Congress has clear authority to arrest and jail Lois Lerner until she testifies. That is the best way to end the stonewalling about the IRS' targeting of the Tea Party and other conservatives.
ISTOOK: Obamacare’s bureaucracy a breeding ground for corruption
Among those 11.5-million-plus words, President Obama finds plenty of maneuvering room and room for abuse — and therein lies the terrible beauty of Obamacare. Because it depends not on law but on bureaucracy, Obamacare adapts faster than it can be contained by legal or other constraints.
ISTOOK: Obama’s deportation rate hits record low, not record high
Although the Obama administration claims deportations have hit an all-time high, they've actually hit record lows, covered-up by a shell game of phony numbers, said Jessica Vaughan, the Center for Immigration Studies' director of Policy Studies.
ISTOOK: Obamacare: One small step against diversity?
Why doesn’t government dictate just one style of everything and “simplify” the rest of our lives like it does with health care? If Obamacare is supposed to save us from substandard insurance, shouldn’t Obamacars save us from substandard automobiles? And Obamacurs would make sure we have the best breed of dog.
ISTOOK: It’s morning in Moscow, is it midnight in America?
Vladimir Putin wants to be Russia's Ronald Reagan. It's morning in Moscow, a vibrant new dawn of growth, pride and prestige—that was the Russian President's message Tuesday as he announced the annexation of Crimea.
ISTOOK: Meet Vladimir Putin’s best friend — America’s energy red-tape
The U.S. doesn't have to beat the Russians with guns: We can beat them with natural gas.
ISTOOK: Obamacare sics food police on pizza parlors
On the eighth day, God created pizza. It made everyone forget the forbidden fruit.
ISTOOK: Obama’s White House drug experts contradict his marijuana claims
President Obama claims that marijuana is no worse than cigarettes or alcohol even though his Office of National Drug Control Policy says otherwise — and posted its dire warning on the White House website.
ISTOOK: Enlarging his rule, shrinking the Constitution
The disaster of Obamacare could prove minor compared to some of President Obama's other goals. We could lose much of our religious freedom, free speech, free press and more if his other efforts succeed.
ISTOOK: Black leaders sell out to the same-sex movement
New priorities conflict with the interests of black America
