Crucial Advice on Your Branding - Web Presence and Social Media
By Karen Leland

The Week of April 4th is Explore Your Career Options Week. If you want to keep your career options open, be aware that a strong personal brand on social media can help or hurt. According to a recent CareerBuilder.com poll, 52% of employers use social networking sites to research candidates, and 35% of those same employers reported that they were less likely to interview job candidates who didn’t have an online presence. In addition, 51% use search engines to dig up details on a job candidate. So that picture of you chugging back a beer on your Facebook page may not be such a good personal brand move for your future career prospects. Take advantage of all your career options by making sure your social media is up to par with these five easy, but often overlooked, tips. [more...]


Scalia - There Should Have Been an Autopsy
By Dave Bego

All of the details surrounding Judge Antonin Scalia’s death seem odd, starting with the location of his passing, which occurred at the ranch of liberal Obama supporter John Poindexter who just happened to discover Scalia lying dead in his bed with a pillow over his head. Even more strange is that his death was declared by natural causes and no autopsy was performed, despite the fact that Texas law requires one in instances when someone dies under less than obvious circumstances. There is no question that Scalia’s passing was a major windfall for big labor bosses and the Democratic Party in a tough election year. Many believe that his passing was not coincidence and that it was planned. [more...]


The Great American Sovereignty Giveaway
By Crista Huff

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement is not about “free trade.” It’s about the U.S. giving up sovereignty (autonomy; self-governance) to a global governing body called the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission, and to a global court system that will challenge many decisions made by the U.S. Congress and our states’ legislatures. If the U.S. Congress ratifies the TPP, Congress will cede authority over myriad areas of American business — and citizens’ lives — to global authorities." [more...]


Students Apologize for Offensive Image that Offended No One
By Joe Messina

The Black Law Student Association (BLSA) at Cornell law school sent out an apology for a supposed “offensive image” that no one was offended by. I guess they “thought” someone should have been offended by it and issued the apology. That was thoughtful of them. The image featured an Asian man singing karaoke, with the text “ABBA REE I CAN FRYYY.” (That’s a reference to the R. Kelly song “I Believe I Can Fly.”) But, really, why are we at this point of being so overly sensitive in the first place that we have to self-censor? [more...]


Believe in Bernie
By Daniel Greenfield

When you can't think of a rational reason to support a senile Socialist who wants to impose a failed economic policy on America, there's always pure faith. Believe. It hasn't ever worked. It won't ever work. Just believe. Ignore over a century of pure human misery. [more...]


How Putin is Out-Maneuvering Obama in Syria
By Joseph Klein

In what has become a monthly ritual, the United Nations Security Council received a briefing on March 30th regarding the very dire humanitarian conditions in war-torn Syria. Stephen O’Brien, the Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, delivered the latest assessment. He noted as positive developments a respite in violence in some parts of the country since the cessation of hostilities came into effect one month ago, and some limited progress on access for the delivery of humanitarian aid to besieged and hard-to-reach areas. However, he said that many of the 4.6 million people in need “still remain outside our reach due to insecurity and obstructions by the parties.” [more...]

Do Trump and Clinton Have a Lock on Nominations?
By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

Here are some scenarios that might change who the ultimate Republican nominee is this fall: Neither Trump nor Cruz get to the 1,237 threshold of needed delegates to secure the nomination (after the last primary in June). At that point, the battle for the undecided, unpledged, and orphan delegates (before the convention) becomes tantamount.  Cruz, with his strong organizational skills and knowledge of GOP rules, might easily prevail and win an additional 150 delegates. [Go here for a complete analysis...]


Towards Balanced Trade as the Primary National Trade Policy Objective
By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

The U.S. has the worst trade performance in the world. For 40 years, perennial trade deficits, which are not offset by periodic trade surpluses, have resulted in debilitating and potentially permanent job losses, stagnant incomes, industry losses and massive foreign debt.  Foreign mercantilist practices – such as currency misalignment, divergent tax systems, industrial subsidies – are given scant attention in trade negotiations and have not once been addressed effectively in agreements presented to the Congress for approval. [more...]


Is President Obama Insane?
By Wayne Allyn Root

There is something very wrong with our president. Is it possible he’s mentally unstable? Could his actions fit the legal definition of insanity? Should he be legally removed from office before his actions (or inaction) get more Americans killed? Forget everything that’s happened for the past seven and a half years. I’m only talking about the actions of the past few days. [more...]


Bernie Sanders Slams Hillary for Clooney Fundraiser
By James Hirsen

The Bernie Sanders campaign has found a new wedge issue in the head to head contest with Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination: the massive amounts of cash that Hillary receives from Hollywood’s biggest bundlers and donors. After the Sanders campaign derided the Vermont senator’s opponent for fundraisers that the Clinton campaign has scheduled, which feature George Clooney, Sanders himself appeared on CNN and said that bundlers such as Clooney represent “the problem with American politics.” [more...]


What Small Business Owners Can Learn from Yahoo
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

Yahoo just can’t catch a break, and they deserve not to. Running a business is hard, no matter the size, but some people fail to see when they are making mistakes, and more often than not, someone is ready to capitalize on those mistakes. Yahoo’s management and board can’t seem to make any good decisions regarding the ailing tech company. Given that their core company is theoretically valued at zero dollars, you would think they’d have made big plans to right the ship. But no, they considered selling certain major assets, but to no avail. Now, activist hedge fund group Starboard Capital is launching a proxy war to take over Yahoo’s entire board. Yahoo wants to sell its core business due to failures to stay competitive in the tech market; Google (Alphabet) and Facebook are two major threats Yahoo can’t fully handle. For Starboard, this isn’t enough, and the hedge fund wants a whole-sale replacement of the board. Luckily for Yahoo, the company has until the end of June to work out a deal, so not all hope is lost. At the end of June comes Yahoo’s annual meeting, where if things don’t improve, they could see Starboard take over the entire company. [more...]


The Brussels Attacks, the GOP and Dem Races
By John LeBoutillier

What are the 2016 political ramifications of the Brussels attacks? Has Obama hurt the Democrats for November over his handling of the attacks? In the GOP race, it’s all about Wisconsin and Pennsylvania now. Has Trump peaked? Is his lack of candidate discipline damaging his ability to win? Can Bernie defeat Hillary in Wisconsin? This – and much more – will be discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS live - on Fox News Channel this Sunday evening – at 7:30pm ET. [more...]

Who’s to Blame?
By Barry Farber

The gun that didn’t go off, the bomb that didn’t explode, the plane that didn’t crash. All sweet dreams and answered prayers. If the street-theater of 2016 had been met with the law enforcement techniques of 1968, the casualty list right now could easily exceed that of Paris four months ago plus those lost in the more recent Brussels terrorist attack in which the bombs DID go off! [more...]


A Competitiveness Strategy for the U.S.
By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

The United States is losing an economic competition against other nations whose mercantilist strategies are destroying our manufacturing jobs, critical industries, our standard of living, our national security, the security of our food supply and our children’s futures. The threat to the U.S. economy and national security is grave. [more...]


Obama’s Final Solution for the Jewish State
By Daniel Greenfield

Obama’s campaign against Israel has run into one major obstacle... Muslim terrorists. Every Obama attempt to force Israel to make concessions to the Islamic terrorists who run the Palestinian Authority has been rejected by the terrorists. No matter how much Obama got Israel to offer, it was never enough. [more...]


Where the Race Stands after Arizona, Utah and American Samoa
By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

Arizona and Utah boosted the delegate totals for Trump and Cruz on Tuesday.  Here’s an update on where the Republican presidential race stands on Wednesday, March 23rd, after the Arizona Primary (58 delegates, winner-take-all, closed), Utah Primary (40 delegates, proportional, closed), and the American Samoa Convention (9 delegates, unbound, open)...

Piers Morgan, Welcome to Team Trump
By Wayne Allyn Root

Even I was surprised to read bleeding-heart, anti-gun, ultra-liberal British media personality Piers Morgan join Team Trump. That’s a journey of a million miles. That’s a journey even ancient Chinese philosophers could never have seen coming. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read Piers Morgan’s UK Daily Mail commentary celebrating Trump, titled “When it comes to terror, isn’t it time we started listening seriously to Trump?” [more...]

What if White Conservatives Treated Obama the Same Way Liberals Treat Trump?
By Wayne Allyn Root

You know what the definition of a “racist” is? Anyone winning an argument with a liberal. It turns out radical leftists are right. There are two very different Americas. There’s one where free speech is not allowed for conservatives – especially white male conservatives. No white male conservative can ever criticize President Barack Obama without being called a “racist” or being called a Ku Klux Klan member. Then there’s the America where leftist protestors can run roughshod over the rights of Donald Trump and his supporters, without being called out, blamed, or having to face consequences for their rude, hateful or violent actions. [more...]


California Primary Could Decide GOP Nominee This Time Around
By James Hirsen

When it comes to politics, California is best known for the huge amounts of cash that stream from Hollywood and the Silicon Valley straight into the campaign coffers of Democrat candidates. In terms of the primary contest, the Golden State has not been as significant a factor in the modern era, mainly due to its late voting date and the immense cost of campaigning in such a large state. This primary season seems to be turning conventional wisdom on its head. Instead of being a proverbial wallflower, California is likely to hold a primary that ends up playing a key role in determining whether or not the GOP convention will be a contested one. [more...]


Will Convention Rules Determine the Republican Nominee?
By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

Convention rules are vitally important.  While many people are focused on who’s ahead in the delegate count today, it’s possible the Republican Party convention rules will dramatically influence or even determine the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.  Let’s get an update on the delegate counts and then look at some of the current and potential new rules that can make a big difference in this race. [Go here for a complete analysis...]


Hedging the Election
By Lowell Ponte

Economic historians might look back on 2016 as the year that four wildly different candidates were the final four chosen by voters to be President. And yet, perhaps by destiny, a victory by any one of them could potentially send the price of gold soaring upward. 2016 will be a year of dramatic change that redefines America – but not just in our politics. This is a year that could also redefine and restore our very idea of the integrity of money and value. Got gold? That is what the wise are electing to get now, before the political conventions and November balloting. Their decisiveness could make them big winners in the 2016 election. [more...]


How to Fight the TPP More Effectively
By Crista Huff

I’m a political activist fighting the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. I’ve been an activist for ten years, fighting corruption, helping to elect good people, raising awareness and teaching voters how to become more involved and effective in government. Every now and then, I have an “A-ha!” moment. I figure out a way to work more effectively, outsmart my competition and increase my chances of winning. That “A-ha!” moment arrived last week, during a trip to Washington, D.C. where I was to speak with Congressional staffers about the TPP - to give them enough information so that they’d understand how much it threatens U.S. jobs and sovereignty.  [more...]


Cuba/U.S. Relations Warming?
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

Air Force One touched down in Cuba on Sunday, making Obama the first president since Calvin Coolidge to visit Cuba. President Obama’s three-day visit comes after a slow warming of relations that began at the end 2014. Although Cuba and the U.S. are a long way from restoring full diplomatic and economic relations, the progress the nations have made looks good for balance sheets so far. Starwood Hotels, bought out by Marriott Monday, announced plans to develop two properties in Havana and signed a letter of intent to manage a third. Though current U.S. sanctions would prevent such a deal, Starwood was granted an exception by the U.S. Treasury Department - essentially a trial run for further economic interactions. Starwood is looking to tap into what will undoubtedly be a huge tourism market. In fact, after the December 2014 changes to policy which started the U.S./Cuba thawing process, international tourism in Cuba has ballooned 17%. [more...]


Is It Something More Than Just "Anger" that Is Driving the 2016 Election?
By John LeBoutillier

What is really driving the 2016 election? Is it anger... or something more? Do the candidates even understand what the American voter is telling them? In the GOP race, can The Donald unify a fractured GOP? Or is it already too late? On the Democratic side, is Hillary, despite her Tuesday sweep, actually weaker than it appears? This – and much more – will be discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS live - on Fox News Channel this Sunday evening – at 7:30pm ET. [more...]

Wake up Ted, It's Time to Make the Phone Call to Trump

By Wayne Allyn Root

What’s that famous saying? “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” It’s time for Ted Cruz to wake up and make the phone call that changes history, changes the GOP, changes the course of America. It’s time to face reality. Donald Trump will be the 2016 GOP presidential nominee. Only Trump has a path to the nomination. Ted Cruz is delusional if he thinks he can win the nomination... or deserves to win the nomination. [more...]

Obama Nominates Stealth Leftist for the Supreme Court

By Joseph Klein

President Barack Obama nominated Merrick B. Garland, who currently serves as Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. The White House's strategy was to pick someone whom they believe will be politically difficult for Republican senators to simply ignore – a stealth leftist recast as a “centrist.” The White House even created a new Twitter handle, @SCOTUSnom, to rev up activists seeking to pressure Senate Republicans into giving President Obama's nominee, in Obama's words, "a fair hearing and an up-or-down vote.” [more...]

TaxMama Answers Tax Questions
By Eva Rosenberg, EA

We live in a mobile society. Sometimes it’s the employer that requires employees to relocate. Or an employee wants a quieter pace of life and telecommutes. A student goes to college out of state. Then there are those folks like athletes, whose jobs take them all over the country. And, worst of all, these multistate returns often generate audits. What’s a taxpayer to do? TaxMama.com gets questions from taxpayers all over the country. The questions require complex answers. [more...]


The GOP Against Trump
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

The GOP sits on top of the long list of pundits and insiders who did not predict America’s support for Trump. For establishment Republicans, this Washington outsider is a threat they didn’t see coming. The GOP can’t control Trump like other candidates, which is exactly why he is so popular. Blow after blow, Democrats and Trump’s own party, have tried to knock the billionaire off his position in the polls, but these attacks only strengthen Trump and his millions of supporters. The Republican party will do everything it can to wrestle Trump into a brokered convention. That’s why these primaries matter so much. [more...]


Donald, Bring in the Slovenian Beauty
By Barry Farber

Why doesn’t Donald Trump play his communist card? “What communist card?” you’re entitled to wonder. The best anti-communist speech in the world would do nothing except make the speaker sound 35 or 40 years out of date. A rousing “Tear down this wall!” speech would make Trump seem hopelessly out-of-date. But what’s wrong with a few reminders of what communism looks like at a time when the Democratic Party is speeding perilously pell-mell toward that cliff on the left, led by candidate Hillary Clinton? Donald Trump happenstantially holds a unique “communist card,” his and his alone. The Germans introduced Big Bertha, a cannon that could hit Paris from 75 miles away in World War I; America’s atomic bombs put a quick end to World War II. Trump should now unveil his happier nonviolent “weapon” - Mrs. Donald Trump, born Melania Knavs (Germanized to “Knauss”) in Slovenia, which was part of the old communist Yugoslavia. [more...]


Happy 4th Anniversary Korea U.S. Trade Agreement... Thanks for Doubling our Trade Deficit
By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

America is celebrating the 4th Anniversary of the Korea-US (KORUS) Trade Agreement with a bilateral trade deficit that doubled. This single cold, hard fact shows that the current Trans-Pacific Partnership promises by the Obama Administration, which are recycled from the KORUS agreement, are not credible. The KORUS agreement was passed by Congress in 2011.  Census data show that our Korea-US trade deficit was $14.7 billion that year.  The deal was implemented into law on March 16, 2012.  At the end of 2015, our trade deficit nearly doubled to $28.4 billion. [more...]


“The German Government Will Pursue its Refugee Policy with all its Might"
By Daniel Greenfield

Merkel's Christian Democratic Union took a severe beating in elections. Her refugee redistribution plans, along with a united Europe, are falling apart as Eastern Europe rebels against its Eurocratic overlords. But Merkel isn't going to budge. Is Merkel crazy? Crazy like a fox - a really destructive fox. The CDU's poor election showing hurt her critics within the party more than they hurt her. Instead of a minus, it helps purge the CDU of dissent and potential opposition, which, in a European political system, is actually more of a threat to the leader at the top than opposing political parties. Merkel's approval rating isn't too bad and the rest of the political landscape is too dysfunctional to pose a severe threat. This lets her drag CDU further to the center while consolidating power. Think of what the GOP establishment has done to conservatives. [more...]
