Read MoreThe employment rate is in devastating decline
By Tom Quiner The media correctly focuses on the unemployment rate, which has remained high since the economic downturn four years ago. Obamanomics hasn’t been able to mitigate the job carnage. The unemployment rate was 7.8% when Mr. Obama was sworn in, and came in at 8.3% last month. Mr. Obama is touting the progress…
Read MoreWhy Republicans should double-down on social issues
By Tom Quiner “Republicans need to focus on economic issues and downplay social ones.” This is the sentiment of many Republicans. A former candidate for Governor here in Iowa said as much last year.

But he president claims his budget saves the U.S. $4 Trillion. How do the president’s men explain away the gap? With smoke and mirrors …
Read MoreChristian martyrdom has come to America
By Tom Quiner He knelt in prayer in front of the White House. The priest was upset about the Obama Mandate that forces his fellow Catholics to act immorally in the eyes of the Church. He wanted to do something, but what? Pray. That is what he would do. He would kneel in prayer in…
Read MoreObama’s magic act

Check out NewsBusted’s Jodi Miller’s latest political “scoops” such as the consequences of the Stock Act; the value of Obama’s smile; the difference between throwing a football on a California beach and, uhh, defecating on…

Rick Santorum has minimal baggage compared to every other serious candidate in the race. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both carry serious baggage: their records. Romney is the father of Romneycare which required taxpayers to help pay for abortions. Obama has bankrupted us. He has imposed Romneycare on the entire country.
