    Tessa Vanvlerah, 22, allowed Kenneth Kyle, a Californian college professor, to photograph, urinate on, rape and burn her 5-month-old daughter. According to STL Today, Vanvlerah’s attorney’s attempted to get her probation based on a psychological disorder. The judge was not lenient on the woman. She was forced to give up her custody of the infant in 2010 when she was charged with first degree statutory rape, incest, child pornography and sodomy. Kyle was sentenced in March to serve a term of 37 and a half years in federal prison. The child has since been adopted by the foster parent who...

    Peter Baker’s, “The Education of a President” is anything but. If ever teachable moments were wasted, for two years they were wasted on Barry Hussein Soetero. To be two years into the Presidency, one would think that Soetoro should have learned something about America and the people he serves. Unfortunately, the sad fact is he has learned little to nothing about America and equally nothing about serving the American people. Instead, president Soetoro is thinking about how his messaging failed to convince the majority of Americans to follow him down a yellow brick road to a post-Constitutional America.

    In a post published Oct. 24, 2008, I described what Halloween 2009 would be like for American children if Barack Obama became the nation's 44th president. In light of the fact that the community organizer from Illinois went on to win the election, I decided to republish an updated version of that post.

    Well. Not content with an unprecedented four primetime news conferences to date in his young administration, President Obama now needs to address the entire public school system. And not just for a Hey-Kids-Howya-Doin-I’m-Your-New-President-So-Be-Good-In-School-This-Year-Mmmkay? speech. You know, like back when I was a kid and Jimmy Carter would come around and hand out balloon animals at parties. Or maybe those were clowns. I get confused. Anyway. Nope, Obama can’t just say hey to the kiddies and encourage them to do their homework. He has to make this a — what does the Left call it? — a teachable moment. A speech-in,...

    'Free to lose' isn't good philosophy for the right wing November 19, 2006 BY MARK STEYN Sun-Times Columnist If Milton Friedman had to die, then a week after the defeat of a Republican Congress that had apparently forgotten every lesson Friedman taught in Free To Choose is eerily apt timing. As it happens, had ill health not intervened, Professor Friedman would have been disembarking round about now from a National Review post-election cruise with yours truly and various other pundits and commentators. Instead, we were obliged to sail without him, and in the days that followed I found myself wondering...
