Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner says that Tim Tebow needs to tone down the Jesus rhetoric. Seriously? Why is it wrong for Tebow to acknowledge Christ, particularly when he does it unobtrusively and not in-your-face? I thought about that today as a story circulated around the Internet about a video showing Lebanese cage fighter Mohammed [...]

You remember Reverend Jeremiah Wright. He was the Chicago preacher at Trinity Church. He was Barack Obama’s minister for twenty plus years. He was the minister who baptized his daughters. He was the minister that Barack Obama later came to disclaim, saying he didn’t recall the hateful, bigoted sermons Wright preached from the pulpit on [...]

The Nanny State strikes again, and I am amazed at the divergence of opinion on the matter. A well-established rule of juvenile and family law is the presumption that a child is better off with its natural parents than with a foster family. The courts will always look for ways to make sure that the [...]

Demeaning the office of the Presidency? Today the President’s website has some great deals on merchandise, all in time for Black Friday’s shopping spree. How very Presidential. I’d order the golf balls. At the rate he’s going, they’re sure to run out soon and they’ll become collectors’ items.

Young addressed [...]

In a move that baffles the mind, Congress is working to extend the liability of the Federal Housing Authority so that it can insure higher loan values. Why is this baffling? We have a housing crisis now, which the taxpayers are already subsidizing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Now, Congress wants to increase the [...]

It’s Friday Night and another Caption Contest on the Michael Brown Show. Tonight’s prize is an autographed copy of Michael’s book, Deadly Indifference: The Perfect Political Storm. So, here’s tonight’s photograph. This OWS protestor was dragged out of a congressman’s office during a press conference. Your caption can be of either the former NYPD officer [...]

Somehow I’ve gotten placed on a mailing list from someone in Boulder who is supportive of the OccupyWallStreet (OWS) movement. I try to read as many of them as I can in order to learn as much about these groups as possible. Yesterday I received one with a link to a magazine I had never [...]

I’m tired of saying it. So, we’ll let my friend Neil Cavuto say it instead. Is anyone in Washington paying attention? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
