The Rise and Fall of Bill de Blasio

By Daniel Greenfield

Bill de Blasio was New York City's first Democratic mayor in around two decades. His victory was largely due to three factors: 1. A lobby pushing to ban horses likely as part of a real estate plot; 2. his son's viral videos; and 3. media bias. While de Blasio is a radical leftist, he came to power as part of the "ACORN" election in which the left had made an aggressive push to hijack the City Council and was feeling its oats nationwide. So that no matter how much he attacked the NYPD, pandered to Muslims, pushed destructive left-wing policies at every level, it was never enough. It could never be enough. Now, with an investigation hanging over his head, his career seems to be headed for the exit.  [more...]

Government Announces Larger February Trade Deficit Despite Trade Deals

By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

The federal government announced that the U.S. trade deficit worsened yet again in February 2016. American trade performance continues to fail because of the focus on dumb trade agreements that end up facilitating more imports than exports. The U.S. needs to pivot to an overarching strategy to balance trade rather than pursue losing gambits like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). [more...]

Quickie Last Minute Tax Tips from TaxMama

By Eva Rosenberg, EA

Good news! This year we get a few extra days to file our tax returns – until April 18th (19th in MD and DC). But what if you’re just not ready? Relax. File an extension – no excuses needed. You get an extra six months to file. Use Form 4868 for personal extensions (check with your state for their forms). Oh, you heard it’s an extension to file, not an extension to pay? That’s true. But they will grant you the extension even if you don’t pay the whole balance due. By filing the extension, you avoid the non-filing penalty of 5% per month...AND if you really have a hardship when it comes to paying, there’s a special form to give you more time to pay (Form 1127). Whatever your tax problem, TaxMama has an answer - free at www.taxmama.com - click on Ask a Question.  [Read more of my ideas and suggestions here...]

The Failure of Muslim Integration in the UK

By Joseph Klein

Europe’s open door policy to Muslim immigrants has utterly failed. Its tolerance of the intolerant tenets of Islamic law and practices under the banner of multiculturalism has also failed. Great Britain is a case in point. Muslims have created their own segregated communities by choice. Even pro-immigration leaders are admitting they were wrong in their optimism that Muslims would willingly integrate into British society over time. As the saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” A former head of Great Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, came to that realization after doing a 180 degree turn on the issue of Muslim immigrant integration. [more...]
