My article from the October 10, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Romney Surges By Matthew Vadum What a difference a week makes. Before Republican candidate Mitt Romney gave President Obama a historic shellacking in the first presidential debate of the season last Wednesday, some prominent GOP operatives were reportedly close to striking the colors in the battle against Obama. It was just a few days ago more than a few GOP-leaning pundits were claiming Republican power brokers were on the verge of abandoning Romney in order to salvage the party’s effort to capture the Senate. But now even Obama … Continue reading Romney Surges

My October 5, 2012, article from Front Page Magazine: Leftists Gone Wild Against Obama By Matthew Vadum Following Wednesday’s historic presidential face-off in Colorado, supporters of America’s failed president have already begun their journey through the Five Stages of Grief. It’s a necessary part of healing. After Republican Mitt Romney gave Barack Obama the most savage beat-down of his political career during the presidential debate in Denver, Obama-worshippers are understandably despondent.  Incidentally, it was quite possibly the only beat-down the coddled radical who is unaccustomed to being challenged by anyone has ever experienced. Most Obama idolators will eventually recover but those who … Continue reading Leftists Gone Wild Against Obama

My article from the October 2, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Official Victim Status for Arab-Americans? By Matthew Vadum The Obama administration may soon classify Arab-Americans as a “socially and economically disadvantaged group” entitled to receive taxpayer-funded goodies and special privileges from the Commerce Department. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), founded by the Israel-hating far-left former U.S. Sen. James Abourezk (D-S.D.), petitioned the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) for special status on January 4 of this year. Business owners of any ethno-cultural background are allowed to seek official victim status from MBDA, a unit of the political pork-dispensing Department of Commerce. … Continue reading Official Victim Status for Arab-Americans?

My article from the September 25, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Terrorist? Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell By Matthew Vadum FBI agents aren’t allowed to treat individuals associated with terrorist groups as potential threats to the nation, according to a startling, newly discovered FBI directive. The fact that a terrorism suspect is associated with a terrorist group means nothing, according to the FBI document, “Guiding Principles: Touchstone Document on Training.” The “touchstone” document, dated March of this year, is available online but hasn’t been reported on by major media outlets. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents are to be instructed that “mere association … Continue reading Terrorist? Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

My article from the September 14, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Obama Had Advance Knowledge of Mideast Attacks By Matthew Vadum Although the Obama administration had “credible” evidence of this week’s deadly Islamist attacks on U.S. missions in Libya and Egypt a full two days before they happened, no effort was made to protect U.S. government personnel, The Independent reports. The Islamofascist offensive took place on September 11, a day of great symbolic importance to both America and the Islamic world because it was the eleventh anniversary of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The U.S. … Continue reading Obama Had Advance Knowledge of Mideast Attacks

My article from the September 12, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Obama’s Military Voter Suppression Campaign By Matthew Vadum The Obama administration appears to be violating the civil rights of nearly 200,000 U.S. soldiers around the world by deliberately disenfranchising them. These are the same servicemen and servicewomen who may have to put their lives on the line at some point to respond to the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya yesterday. News of the Obama administration’s apparent crackdown on military voting comes days after the Obama campaign succeeded in convincing a liberal federal judge to … Continue reading Obama’s Military Voter Suppression Campaign

From the September 4, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Obama Election Manipulation in Swing State Ohio By Matthew Vadum An Ohio election law that eliminated an unfair advantage enjoyed by the Obama campaign has been struck down by an unelected federal judge under the guise of fairness. The heavy-handed court ruling probably gives the Obama campaign an edge in the vitally important battleground state. Acceding to a lawsuit from the Obama campaign, part-time, semi-retired liberal judge Peter C. Economus last week voided provisions of an election reform law enacted in Ohio last year that gave  military personnel extra time … Continue reading Obama Election Manipulation in Swing State Ohio

My article from August 31, 2012 issue of Front Page Magazine: The Radical Judges Who Struck Down Texas’ Voter ID Law By Matthew Vadum Left-wing judges-for-life struck down a new Texas law yesterday that requires voters to present photo identification before voting. The decision was one of two odious Texas-related federal court rulings handed down this week. Both seem likely to inject a liberal dose of chaos into the upcoming election in a state known for its legendarily robust election fraud. “Chalk up another victory for fraud,” Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday. “Today, federal judges subverted the will of … Continue reading The Radical Judges Who Struck Down Texas’ Voter ID Law
