My article from the Dec. 11, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: An Ominous Omnibus By Matthew Vadum A mammoth spending bill aimed at preventing a repeat of the last government shutdown is coming under heavy fire from conservative groups for green-lighting President Obama’s executive immigration amnesty and continuing to fund Obamacare. Republicans in Congress are inexplicably rushing through a catch-all $1 trillion-plus spending bill to prevent the government from running out of money at midnight tonight. The measure, which would keep the government funded through the end of the federal fiscal year (Sept. 30, 2015), is being called a cromnibus, which … Continue reading An Ominous Omnibus

My article from the Dec. 4, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Uncovering Obama’s Enemies List By Matthew Vadum More proof has emerged that President Obama is using the IRS as a weapon against his perceived enemies as the administration abruptly canceled the release of 2,500 damning documents reportedly showing that the IRS illegally shared taxpayer files with the White House. The existence of the documents is yet more proof that Obama maintains an extensive enemies’ list and that he treats the IRS as his personal plaything while he closely collaborates with senior IRS officials who have practically taken up residence with him … Continue reading Uncovering Obama’s Enemies List

My article from the Dec. 2, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Ferguson Lynch Mob Leaders Convene at the White House By Matthew Vadum A week after grand jurors in Ferguson, Mo., did their civic duty and resisted pressure from President Obama on down to lynch an innocent police officer, Al Sharpton and Ferguson riot leaders gathered at the White House yesterday to make plans to further exacerbate the racial tensions they created in order to cripple the economy and attack civil society. These domestic subversives refuse to accept the official finding Nov. 24 that no probable cause existed to charge police … Continue reading Ferguson Lynch Mob Leaders Convene at the White House

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Ferguson In Flames By Matthew Vadum Grand jurors in Ferguson, Mo., refused to indict local police officer Darren Wilson yesterday, heroically resisting pressure from President Obama on down to lynch an innocent police officer who fought off a violent attacker. The decision is infuriating left-wingers across America because it rebuts the underlying assumption they embrace which is that white police racism caused the death of Michael Brown, a young black thug who tried to seize Wilson’s gun in an attempt to do the officer harm. As fresh rioting was already underway in the St. … Continue reading Ferguson In Flames

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: To Amnesty 5 Million By Matthew Vadum Ignoring the brutal, historic slap-down angry American voters gave his party this month, President Obama unveiled plans for a unilaterally imposed amnesty that will shield an estimated 5 million illegal aliens from deportation. Whether Republicans, now in possession of a thunderous mandate to fight Obama tooth and nail, will fight this despotic usurpation of the lawmaking powers of Congress remains to be seen. Obama doesn’t care. He is pressing on, hoping to fill America with millions of new Democrat voters. And he’s going to kill American jobs … Continue reading To Amnesty 5 Million

My article from the Nov. 18, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: FBI Warns of More Ferguson Rage By Matthew Vadum The FBI is warning that extremist protesters will probably threaten or physically attack police officers or federal agents when a grand jury investigating the death of Michael Brown decides whether to indict the policeman who shot him. Brown, an 18-year-old black male, was killed in Ferguson, Mo., on Aug. 9 by white police officer Darren Wilson after he beat Wilson and tried to grab his handgun. Brown’s defenders characterize him as a gentle giant even though a few minutes earlier … Continue reading FBI Warns of More Ferguson Rage

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Washington Braces for Amnesty By Matthew Vadum Republicans in Congress are struggling to put together a strategy to combat President Obama’s expected unilateral immigration amnesty as the administration moves closer to pulling the amnesty trigger by year’s end. Their deliberations came as Vice President Joe Biden met Saturday with Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, and Salvadoran President Salvador Sanchez Ceren. One of the topics was how to facilitate even more immigration from those poor Third World countries to the United States. Biden said next month the U.S. would create what the … Continue reading Washington Braces for Amnesty

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Intifada in Ferguson By Matthew Vadum The same violent protesters in Ferguson, Missouri demonstrating against the killing of Michael Brown have also been taking it to the streets in Detroit and elsewhere to press for the release of a Palestinian terrorist who killed two Israelis. Activists are blackmailing the grand jury that is now hearing evidence against Wilson. If the grand jurors refuse to indict Wilson, radical activists are promising even more mayhem. The message is unmistakable: indict the cop, and there will be peace; don’t, and Ferguson will burn. Brown is the young, … Continue reading Intifada in Ferguson

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Obama’s Amnesty by Blackmail By Matthew Vadum Ignoring voters’ historic coast-to-coast repudiation of his disastrous policies this week, President Obama is now threatening to move forward unilaterally with a massive immigration amnesty by the end of the year. At his first post-election press conference Wednesday, instead of embracing conciliation as a responsible adult might do, Obama, the petulant Chicagoland thug, pulled a switchblade. Obama tried to blackmail newly emboldened congressional Republicans, vowing to enact amnesty through executive fiat if Congress doesn’t play ball. Republicans’ newly won control of the Senate and enhanced majority in … Continue reading Obama’s Amnesty By Blackmail

My article from the Nov. 5, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Republicans Conquer the Senate By Matthew Vadum Republicans wrested control of the U.S. Senate from Democrats last night, setting the stage for potentially dramatic legislative showdowns with President Obama during the final two years of his already-catastrophic presidency. After a GOP electoral wave wiped out several Democratic senators who supported Obamacare, around 11:15 p.m. Eastern time major media outlets projected Republicans would hold at least 51 seats in the Senate in January. In the approaching 114th Congress both chambers will be under GOP control and in a position to … Continue reading Republicans Conquer the Senate

My article in today’s American Thinker: Understanding Obama’s Ebola Psychosis By Matthew Vadum Many Americans believe that the Obama administration’s schizophrenic behavior during the unfolding Ebola crisis is proof that Barack Obama is an incompetent chief executive. They are wrong.  Obama is a competent leader.  That’s the problem.  He’s good at implementing bad ideas.  And he’s a self-described citizen of the world whose first loyalty is not to the United States. President Obama has been rolling out the red carpet for Ebola.  His policy is not designed to keep the American people safe from the deadly airborne virus that is … Continue reading Understanding Obama’s Ebola Psychosis

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Illegal Voters Tipping Election Scales? By Matthew Vadum Voting by illegal aliens and other non-citizens is so prevalent throughout the nation that it gave us Obamacare, according to a disturbing new study. And if illegal voting by non-citizens, who tend to support Democratic Party candidates and who heavily supported President Obama, could tip the scales in the 2008 congressional elections, it can do so again in congressional elections next week and in the presidential contest in 2016. In 2008 one report estimated that as many as 2.7 million non-citizens were registered to vote nationwide. … Continue reading Illegal Voters Tipping Election Scales?

My article from today’s FrontPage magazine: Obama Prepping Amnesty for 34 Million? By Matthew Vadum The Obama administration may be planning to issue 34 million work visas and green cards in coming weeks without the required legal authorization from Americans’ elected representatives in Congress, according to a recently uncovered government procurement order. If 34 million individuals were amnestied the U.S. population would grow by more than a tenth. The U.S. Census Bureau currently estimates the nation’s population at a little over 319 million. There is no official count of illegal aliens present in the United States but 11 million is … Continue reading Obama Prepping Amnesty for 34 Million?

My article from today’s FrontPage magazine: Obama’s Deadly Ebola Lies By Matthew Vadum President Obama’s lies about the communicability of the truly terrifying Ebola virus are recklessly putting American lives at risk. And yesterday Obama did the unthinkable: he cancelled a precious campaign fundraiser to address an issue of intense interest to the American people. At a photo-opportunity disguised as an emergency cabinet meeting the president did what he always does: he lied and lied and lied. “Here’s what we know about Ebola: That it is not like the flu,” Obama told his groupies in government and the media in reassuring tones. … Continue reading Obama’s Deadly Ebola Lies

My article from the Oct. 14, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Would-be Cop Killer is New Ferguson Hero By Matthew Vadum More than two months after a black man was killed trying to wrest a handgun away from a white police officer, left-wing protesters continue to perpetrate acts of violence with relative impunity in and around Ferguson, Mo. where the incident happened. Reports indicate 17 people were arrested during weekend demonstrations as activists geared up for even more violence and vandalism in the St. Louis suburb that has been under siege by cop-hating radicals more or less continuously since the Aug. 9 … Continue reading Would-be Cop Killer is New Ferguson Hero
