My article from the July 25, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Americans Say Obamacare Is Hurting Families By Matthew Vadum The American people hate Obamacare and recognize the lasting damage it is inflicting, according to a new national poll. Americans seem to recognize that the Obamacare law will boot people out of their health care plans, encourage idleness, drive wages down, increase the government’s tax take, and fail to put a dent in the number of Americans without health insurance coverage. “Obamacare is helping some people; mostly Americans with preexisting conditions and those who are eligible for very generous subsidies,” … Continue reading Americans Say Obamacare Is Hurting Families

My article from the July 15, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: The Obama Administration’s Homeland Security Hypocrisy By Matthew Vadum After years of working hard to comfort America’s terrorist enemies and erase U.S. borders, the nation’s perpetually embattled attorney general is suddenly concerned that Middle Eastern jihadists are working together to create undetectable explosives that could be used to blow up U.S. airliners. Intelligence reports suggest Islamic terrorists in Yemen and Syria have joined forces to make the stealthy bombs and this development is “more frightening than anything I think I’ve seen as attorney general,” Eric Holder said on ABC’s … Continue reading The Obama Administration’s Homeland Security Hypocrisy

My article from the July 3, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: Supreme Court: Obama is Out of Order By Matthew Vadum The Supreme Court has wrapped up its 2013-2014 term by handing stinging defeats to the increasingly unpopular President Obama. Doing its job for a change, the high court reined in the power of the Executive Branch of the federal government, striking down a forced unionization scheme, an abortifacient mandate, and improper recess appointments. The Court also rejected the Obama administration’s contention that police be allowed to search Americans’ cellphones without warrants. In the nearly five and a half years Obama has … Continue reading Supreme Court: Obama is Out of Order

My article from the May 21, 2014 issue of FrontPage magazine: VA Scandal: This Is What Death Panels Look Like By Matthew Vadum The Veterans Administration hospital scandal that has claimed the lives of at least 40 U.S. military veterans continues to expand, adding to the image of a president who neither knows nor cares what happens to those who shed their blood on the battlefield for their fellow Americans. With a little under six months before the crucial midterm elections, it is a helpful reminder to voters of the horrors that are not glitches, but essential features, of government-provided … Continue reading VA Scandal: This Is What Death Panels Look Like

My new article in today’s FrontPage Magazine: Patriots in Murrieta By Matthew Vadum When President Obama began dumping busloads of newly arrived illegal aliens on small town America to force so-called immigration reform he probably didn’t expect residents of a small California city to take a heroic stand against his lawless assault on the nation’s immigration system. But grassroots activists in Murrieta, California, near San Diego, have been using the Left’s own playbook against the Community-Organizer-in-Chief’s efforts to force an unprecedented loosening of the nation’s largely unenforced immigration laws. Last week the protesters used the tactics of civil disobedience by … Continue reading Patriots in Murrieta

My column in today’s American Thinker: Voter Fraud: The Left’s Tool For Social Justice By Matthew Vadum Why did Democrats applaud the loathsome community organizer Melowese Richardson, a freshly released, unrepentant voter fraud felon, at a recent “voting rights” rally in Ohio? Because, like Richardson, they believe they are entitled to vote more than once against a system they see as unjust.  Some serial voters do what they do in order to exact revenge against a society they feel did them or their ancestors wrong.  Richardson is far from alone.  Double-voting is distressingly common. Many leftists have contempt for the electoral process because … Continue reading Voter Fraud: The Left’s Tool For Social Justice
