The Clash Daily is a new journalistic enterprise by Doug Giles, which is sure to play an important role in the public debate as we enter the home stretch of the 2012 elections.

Hating on the Kochs

Hating on the Kochs

Update: Our good friend Pamela Hall has more photo and video coverage of the event on her fantastic website, The Silent Majority No More. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself.

When Heroes Go Down

I’ll discuss this at length in the days ahead, but I’d be remiss in not reporting the news that Senator Pearce seems to have been recalled by voters in Arizona’s Legislative District 18.

D-Day. May Day Photos and Coverage: Part I

My apologies for beginning this entry with such a startlingly vulgar image, but I thought it appropriate to visually demonstrate the level of debate I encountered from open borders anarchists during the May Day rally held at Foley Square.

I’d like to alert you to a great column by Joe Guzzardi today, which explores two key aspects of the immigration debate as it’s currently unfolding in the United States. The dearth of jobs for Americans in this country, which is experiencing its most prolonged economic slump since the Great Depression, is something that...
