Gregory Kane

Published: Wed, May 22, 2013

Race-baiting Julian Bond is at it again. This time Bond is defending the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of Tea Party groups. They're racist, you see, and hence deserving of the IRS' wrath and scrutiny. Bond defended his position — and race baiting — in an op-ed piece he wrote for...

Published: Wed, May 15, 2013

Didn't I say, a couple of years back, that the country needs to give Attorney General Eric Holder the boot? Now comes the news that Holder's Justice Department has secretly obtained the phone records of the Associated Press, a journalistic organization that, supposedly, has First Amendment...

Baseball great Jackie Robinson being subjected to a political litmus test of racial loyalty? Apparently that's the case. Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947, was black, Republican and somewhat conservative. That's more than some blacks today can bear. One...

Maryland's Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley has mounted his trusty steed to sally forth and carry the banner of shamelessness once again. And people wonder why I call him Martin O'Shameless. Years ago, when he was mayor of Baltimore, city schools ran up a deficit of at least $58 million....

Just how bad do folks at the FBI think our memories are? Last week the FBI added Assata Shakur to its list of Most Wanted Terrorists. She's the first and only woman to achieve such a dubious distinction. Shakur is also known as Joanne Chesimard, the name the FBI uses when referring to her....

Published: Sun, Apr 28, 2013

We Americans are letting way too many people into our country who don't like our country. That is not a good thing. If we learn nothing else from the Boston Marathon bombings, let's hope we learn that. Is it really a good idea to let droves of people into our country that don't like our...

Published: Wed, Apr 24, 2013

Do we get a vote as to whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be treated as an enemy combatant or similar to the common criminal who snatches a purse? President Obama has already decided for us. According to news reports, Tsarnaev will not be charged as an enemy combatant. A brief rehash is in...

Way to go, Reebok. The athletic shoe company recently put the kibosh on a deal it had with rapper Rick Ross. Said deal put $3.5 million to $5 million in Ross' bank account whenever he wore the shoe. Ross lost his Reebok contract the way those familiar with him figured he'd lose it: by doing...
