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

My article from the Sept. 25, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Obama Brings the Ferguson Lynch Mob to the U.N. By Matthew Vadum President Obama used an opportunity on the world stage this week to encourage America’s enemies to continue promoting the tired old left-wing narrative that the U.S. is an irretrievably racist hotbed of injustice. Instead of just focusing on the topic of the day, namely, what the U.S. government is planning to do to undermine the extraordinarily brutal Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), Obama suggested that his own country’s race relations problems are on par with leading world … Continue reading Obama Brings the Ferguson Lynch Mob to the U.N.

My article from the Sept. 11, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Patriots Vow to Fight on for Benghazi Answers By Matthew Vadum Questions about the Obama administration’s decision to let helpless Americans die in the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya two years ago won’t go away anytime soon. But that won’t stop former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who desperately wants to be the next president, from trying to make the whole Benghazi episode that happened under her watch go away.  So far the Clinton operation isn’t working. Charles Woods, father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, … Continue reading Patriots Vow to Fight on for Benghazi Answers

I’m one of the most cited conservative journalists in America, apparently. Google my name and I’m everywhere. I used to keep track of all the citations in the media but eventually it became an overwhelming task. Now I only track citations in published books. My work is cited in at least 64 books so far. Authors on the right, such as John Fund, Phyllis Schafly, Michael Reagan, David Horowitz, and Michelle Malkin rely on my research and commentary. Authors on the left, such as Arianna Huffington, Thomas Frank, and Center for American Progress visiting fellow Shirley Sagawa, have also given my work a vote of confidence … Continue reading I’m one of the most cited conservative journalists in America, apparently.

My article from the Aug. 22, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Holder’s Lynch Mob in Ferguson By Matthew Vadum The cop-hating radical lawyers of Eric Holder’s Justice Department are reportedly continuing to feed the passions of the lynch mob in Ferguson, Mo., that is screaming for the blood of the white cop who shot and killed a young black man earlier this month in what now almost certainly appears to be an act of self-defense. A white police officer’s racism, an allegation for which there is no evidence whatsoever, supposedly caused the unfortunate incident. But the leftists who run the … Continue reading Holder’s Lynch Mob in Ferguson
