Just after the 20th debate of the Republican candidates in Mesa, Arizona, Newt Gingrich joined an enthusiastic rally of several hundred of his supporters at The Mint, a Thai-themed restaurant and bar in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The event was sponsored by Politics on the Rocks. The crowd watched the debate together on multiple screens and cheered for their favorite candidate.
The 7-minute video below contains Newt’s remarks to the crowd. My favorite line:
When you have a left-wing incompetent in …

Every so often a political cartoonist delivers an image so clear and compelling that I think I hear the room around me resonating. Such was the case with Lisa Benson’s February 15 masterpiece shown below.

In my high school US History class (circa 1964) I recall implicit reverence expressed for the United States Supreme Court. Now, unfortunately, after seeing Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s appearance on Egyptian TV (video below), I can’t help feeling a bit like Dorothy when the curtain was pulled back on the Wizard of Oz. What a let-down. Sigh. On the other hand, Ginsberg did give us another powerful demonstration of how thoroughly Leftism has infected the …
This article is the third of a three-part series* on socialism. In this article, WFP’s Brad Zinn interviews Zina Brodovsky, a naturalized US citizen who lived under the Soviet socialism and communism in the former USSR.
Americans who think socialism sounds like a great way to achieve “fairness” or “social justice” would do well to hear Zina’s words. She knows full well the difference between the utopian vision of socialism and how it has actually worked out in practice.
