My article from the Aug. 5 issue of FrontPageMag: Crushing the Poor and Middle Class with the EPA By Matthew Vadum President Obama is surreptitiously colluding with radical anti-growth environmentalists to force ideologically driven carbon-emission controls on the energy industry that will devastate the U.S. economy, congressional investigators have discovered. As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drew up rules aimed at limiting carbon emissions from power-generation plants, “key stakeholders — including the American public — had little to no influence over the debate while powerful environmental activist groups were given unprecedented access to and influence over administration officials,” the Washington Times reported … Continue reading Crushing the Poor and Middle Class with the EPA

To read the first article in this series, click here.  It is true that black Americans are not treated equally by the nation’s police forces — far too often they are treatedbetter than members of other races because police are quite properly terrified of being accused of race-based … Continue reading Black Skin Privilege: To Be Above The Law

My article from the July 28, 2015 issue of FrontPageMag: Is A Criminal Probe of Clinton Near? By Matthew Vadum The U.S. Department of Justice has been asked to open a criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information in emails she sent through her unauthorized, insecure private email server. Whether such a probe, if it happens, will actually accomplish anything is a separate question. That’s because the DoJ is headed by Obama appointee Loretta Lynch who is essentially a carbon copy of her predecessor, the corrupt Eric Holder, a man who was held in contempt by … Continue reading Is A Criminal Probe of Clinton Near?

My article from the July 23, 2015 issue of FrontPageMag: Obama’s Illegal Aliens: Importing Deadly Third World Diseases By Matthew Vadum Even as exotic new diseases and nearly-eradicated old ones keep popping up across the nation, the Obama administration is unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent, to the public health threat that Third World illegal aliens pose to the American public. This isn’t an observation from would-be GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump or some wild-eyed rube — it’s a devastating criticism that comes from two public health experts at the government’s own Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It comes … Continue reading Obama’s Illegal Aliens: Importing Deadly Third World Diseases

My article in the July 3, 2015 issue of FrontPageMag: Is the Clinton Email Coverup Unraveling? By Matthew Vadum Federal investigators may be closer to seizing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illicit off-site email server as evidence emerges that she transmitted classified information through it and that key Obama White House officials knew about her clandestine email account for years. On Tuesday the Department of State made available on its website 3,000 pages of Clinton’s emails. Clinton emphatically declared months ago that none of the thousands of emails she sent using her hacker-friendly dedicated server contained classified information. As it … Continue reading Is the Clinton Email Coverup Unraveling?

My article in the July 1, 2015 issue of FrontPageMag: Journalistic Treachery By Matthew Vadum More American journalists were involved in spying for the Soviet Union than was previously believed, according to new research published in the Journal of Slavic Military Studies. Traditionally, research has focused on the role that U.S. reporters played as messengers, recruiters, and sources of information (and disinformation), but some of those “journalist spies also collected a large amount of secret diplomatic and military information” from 1941 through 1946 as World War II gave way to the Cold War, writes Alexander G. Lovelace of Ohio University. The article, … Continue reading Journalistic Treachery

My article in today’s FrontPageMag: Commie Pope By Matthew Vadum Two years into his reign, Pope Francis has emerged as an extreme socialist obsessed with the usual phony leftist problems such as manmade global warming, American institutional racism, and income inequality. Muslims are indiscriminately slaughtering Christians around the world while Christianity itself seems on the verge of being eclipsed globally by Islam, but these things barely register with this pope. This pseudo-intellectual pope keeps on spouting the same misanthropic Marxist platitudes as he hitches his papacy to global warming, the new international totalitarian cause. Sounding like Mao Zedong, Francis said … Continue reading Commie Pope

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Occupy Wall Street Mainstreams Communism By Matthew Vadum Though many have declared the Occupy Wall Street movement a failure, it won a major propaganda victory when it forced the phony political issue of “income inequality” into the national political debate, according to one of its leaders in a new article. The article, titled The Triumph of Occupy Wall Street, appears at the Atlantic, the home of radical leftists, market participants in the racial grievance industry, and mushy moderates. It was written by radical left-winger Michael Levitin, a co-founder of The Occupied Wall Street Journal, an OWS … Continue reading Occupy Wall Street Mainstreams Communism
