    By Gregory Kane | 05/29/13 01:30 PM

    Western nations can either learn this the easy way, or they can learn it the hard way. Here in the United States, it appears we've chosen the hard way. Our fearless legislators in Congress, in their zeal for "immigration reform," have proposed every reform but the one that will keep America...

    Individually, Americans do not deserve to be subservient to such a fear-mongering, intimidating and powerful agency as the Internal Revenue Service; but collectively, we do. Let's look at it. Since the 1791 ratification of our Constitution, until well into the 1920s, federal spending as a...

    If two's company and three is a crowd, three is a torment for President Obama, as in the trio of scandals that blossomed together and gave him a nosegay of woes. They were comprehensive, spanning foreign and domestic policy issues; synergetic, in that they fed on each other; and...
