This is one of my favorite pieces I wrote at the day job. Christmas Day 2017 seems like a good time to republish it. It was originally posted Nov. 30, 2015. Lifting the Veil on the ‘Islamophobia’ Hoax By … Continue reading Lifting the veil on the ‘Islamophobia’ hoax
My article is in today’s FrontPage Magazine: Surprise Senate Exit by Jim DeMint By Matthew Vadum One of President Obama’s most outspoken critics is quitting the U.S. Senate to take over the reins at the Heritage Foundation, the nation’s preeminent conservative think tank. As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Tea Party movement-supported Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said he is leaving public office in order to help the conservative movement regain the upper hand in the war of ideas. Replacing Heritage co-founder Ed Feulner, DeMint expects to take over as president at Heritage early next year. “This is an urgent … Continue reading Surprise Senate Exit by Jim DeMint
My latest article in Front Page Magazine: Obama’s Defilement of 9/11 By Matthew Vadum As the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, President Obama is again pushing his “National Day of Service” in an effort to pervert the meaning of that terrible day for partisan political purposes. In his weekly address on Aug. 27, Obama urged Americans to do volunteer work this Sept. 11, a day that the administration ought to officially call the “National Day of Ignoring Islamofascism.” The president said Americans should do something to serve their communities on that day “to honor the victims of 9/11 and … Continue reading Obama’s Defilement of 9/11
Here’s a new piece of mine that was published today by American Thinker. Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American By Matthew Vadum Why are left-wing activist groups so keen on registering the poor to vote? Because they know the … Continue reading Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American
Will Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood slam the doors of the House of Representatives shut in President Obama’s face if he shows up uninvited Wednesday? The president has asked to address a joint session of Congress that day in order to deliver for the umpteenth time another dreary, excuse-filled teleprompted oration on how he’s going to magically create new jobs for Americans. The Obama White House doesn’t give a farthing’s cuss that a high-stakes Republican presidential candidates’ debate has been scheduled for the same evening at the Reagan Library. Obama flak Jay Carney says the timing is a fluke. As the Washington Examiner reports White House … Continue reading No, Your Majesty, Congress Will Not Be Available Wednesday
It is a time-honored radical tactic to accuse your enemies of what you do in order to convert a negative into a positive, as the master of political agitation Saul Alinsky taught. This explains the Left’s newfound interest in the lie that the Tea Party is comprised of “terrorists.” Unless you think petitioning the government for lower spending is somehow akin to flying airplanes into buildings, you’ve got to agree with Sarah Palin, who on this issue is a voice of sanity and common sense. As President Obama and his merry band of Marxists continue driving America off a cliff, … Continue reading Sarah Palin is Right: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Them
President Obama has no intention of allowing the U.S. government to default on its financial obligations regardless of whether the government’s borrowing limit is raised, Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business reports. This means that the president has been bargaining in bad faith with congressional leaders by raising the specter of a default, knowing full well he won’t allow it to happen. This is another way of putting it: the president has been lying to the nation. As Gasparino writes While officials from the Obama Administration raised their rhetoric over the weekend about the possibility of a debt default if the … Continue reading Obama officials admit POTUS was lying about default
Canada Free Press kindly published a piece I wrote about communist terrorist Bill Ayers and ACORN. Here it is: Canada Gives the Bum’s Rush to Bill Ayers, Terrorist, Obama Pal, and ACORN Conspirator By Matthew Vadum, Special to Canada Free Press Canada was absolutely right to deny entry to unrepentant American terrorist Bill Ayers. Ayers, a self-described “small-c communist,” was barred Wednesday by the Canadian Border Services Agency. He had hoped to spread his visceral hatred of freedom and democracy at the Worldview Conference on Media and Higher Education on Thursday in Toronto. The conference was co-sponsored by the notorious … Continue reading Canada Gives the Bum’s Rush to Bill Ayers, Terrorist, Obama Pal, and ACORN Conspirator

I was on “America’s Nightly Scoreboard” (host: David Asman) on Fox Business on May 13 to discuss my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers (WND Books). Here is the video: The radical un-American group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is very much alive despite reports of its demise. It is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. Buy the book at Amazon. Visit the Subversion Inc. Facebook page. Follow me … Continue reading Vadum talks Subversion Inc. on Fox
A preview article from NewsReal blog. It reads: ACORN’s anti-democratic, un-American activities are not legitimate political advocacy protected by the First Amendment. They cry out for prosecution under federal racketeering laws. [The push for a racketeering probe got a boost in April 2011 when ACORN was convicted in a massive voter fraud conspiracy in Nevada. The felony conviction came after the book had gone to press. -MV] Former Chicago ACORN leader Madeline Talbott is a master of the bank shakedown. She bragged about “dragging banks kicking and screaming” into questionable loans. Talbott thought highly of Barack Obama’s organizing work in the … Continue reading Why Aren’t Community Organizers in Prison Where They Belong?: ‘Subversion Inc.’ Book Preview (Part 4 of 4)
A new report from WND highlights more of the explosive information in my new book Subversion Inc. Read the article here. Here is the beginning of the piece: Believing Sept. 11 to have been “hijacked by Republicans,” President Obama had a secret plan to “flush 9/11 down the memory hole” in order to benefit Democrats, the author of a brand-new book is claiming. According to “Subversion Inc.” by investigative journalist Matthew Vadum, Obama sought to make the environment the prime concern on 9/11 instead of the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history. The president allegedly used his green jobs czar Van Jones … Continue reading Obama’s secret plan to help Democrats by flushing 9/11: You won’t believe how president sought to change meaning of catastrophic day
By the time you read this blog post, it will be hopelessly out of date. That’s how fast the story of the Obama administration’s appallingly incompetent handling of the aftermath of the Osama bin Laden assassination is moving. In all my years observing American politics I’ve never seen anything even remotely like this. It’s not just a train wreck viewed in slow motion: it’s a midair collision of all the airplanes used in “The Aviator.” After offering qualified praise for the president earlier this week, I haven’t been keeping notes on every aspect of the saga so I may have some … Continue reading Obama’s Speed of Light Incompetence on the Aftermath of OBL’s Death
(originally posted at NewsReal) The Democratic Party is officially encouraging supporters to go to Speaker John Boehner’s house and dump garbage on his lawn in order to intimidate him into rubber-stamping President Obama’s destructive spending spree. Such protests can easily turn violent, especially with the tense, hyper-partisan atmosphere on Capitol Hill right now. Is it a coincidence that not long after longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard took over as executive director of the Democratic National Committee the DNC is planning destructive ACORN-like protests? Not bloody likely. As chief of the DNC’s day-to-day operations, Gaspard runs Organizing for America, the Saul Alinsky-inspired organization created to wage war on American democracy. … Continue reading DNC-Sponsored Mob Violence Possible: ACORN, Obama Behind Plan To Dump Garbage On Speaker Boehner’s Home?
Parody can be fun. The head of V.I. Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, has been replaced here with that of President Obama. Sure, it’s hyperbole, but ask yourself: How much of an exaggeration is it? Has any other American president nationalized industry after industry? Has any other American president thumbed his nose at the rule of law to the extent he has? Has any other American president harbored as much contempt for the Constitution of the United States as he has? Continue reading Obama as Lenin
Up to and during the Iraq War, leftists across America cheered an outspoken lawmaker who characterized the administration’s latest intervention in the Middle East as reckless military adventurism that would backfire on the United States. “Us rushing headlong into a war unilaterally was a mistake and may still be a mistake,” Illinois state senator Barack Obama said in late 2002 as President Bush readied Operation Iraqi Freedom. “What’s our long term commitment there? How much is it going to cost?” “It’s time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of … Continue reading The Left’s Libya Schizophrenia
