CELEBRATING LIFE ON THE DAY OF DEATH

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 23, 2014

This has got to be the best picture from yesterday's March for Life. It was truly an extraordinary event - hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers marching from the White House to the Supreme Court in bitterly below-freezing cold, and doing so in good cheer.

Actually, the event in Washington DC was only one of many Marches for Life that took place in cities all over the country on the 41^st anniversary of the Supreme Court's most hideous - and ludicrously unconstitutional - decisions, Roe v. Wade, on January 22, 1973.

It's pretty easy to understand - inhuman not to, in fact - why people would be passionately anti-abortion, and be morally revolted by a mother killing her own child.

The obverse is more difficult. While it may be understandable that under certain circumstances of a woman's life, she could feel that terminating her pregnancy was her only solution, what is unfathomable is the hysterical, fanatical frenzy of passion that consumes pro-abortionists.

It's clinically pathological. It's one of the clearest markers that folks on the Left aren't just mistaken, they're deranged. What were the villains of the Harry Potter novels called? Death-eaters. That's them. The good news is that an increasing majority of Americans looks upon them as such. Even better news is that the reason this number is increasing is because it's composed of Millennials - young folks 30 and under.

FROM 9/11 TO 3.0

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 11, 2013

On this 12^th anniversary of the Moslem Atrocity of 9/11, our problems seem worse than ever. The federal government has metastasized into a cancer that many consider terminal for our country's existence. Tens of millions of us have given up hope of ever finding a job again - while millions more just starting out in their twenties have never had a job at all.

The problems seem so numerous and insuperable that many of us have given up on America's future. Most horrifying is that this is what Zero wants, the destruction of America's future is his goal. The more we suffer, the more he gloats, laughing in our faces as he plays another round of golf and Mrs. Zero is treated as royalty, going off on another multi-million dollar vacation.

And all the while, his corrupt corporatist cronies, like those at Solyandra, make hundreds of millions.

So it is only appropriate that we commemorate this day by committing ourselves to creating a new America that will conquer the Curse of Zero, and reclaim our future of optimism.

The good news is that this creation is already well underway. There's a blueprint for it and the foundation is being laid. Here it is.

YOUR TIME AND THE CHINESE FINGER PUZZLE

Dr. Joel Wade October 4, 2012

It is a common experience these days to feel that time is short. We are busy, we have important things to do, and not enough hours in the day in which to do them. That we in America now spend the first five or so months of the year to pay for our taxes doesn't help.

But living like this becomes something of a Chinese finger puzzle - those gizmos you used to find at fairs where you put your fingers into the ends and then try and pull them out - the contraption tightens as you pull.

Our experience of time is somewhat the same. By completely filling our days, our experience can be that we become more anxious, more stressed, and more desperate for time.

Here's how to extract your time from the finger puzzle.

NOT IN DENVER

Dr. Jack Wheeler August 28, 2008

That's where I am this week - not in Denver. That's where I encourage you to be as well.

When Hussein Nobama gives his ridiculous Greek Temple speech today, I will literally be underwater - scuba diving off a small island in the Caribbean called Saba (say-bah).

It's a funky little place most have never heard of, a mountaintop in the sea, so steep it has no beaches and no rivers. Saba's population of 1200, many of whom are descended from pirates six and seven generations ago, make do with rainwater. They live in tiny homes clustered in tiny hamlets in high mountain valleys around the island.

The people are wonderfully friendly and gracious, there's no crime of any kind, the food is great, the beer is cheap, and the diving incredible - one of the best in the world.

What better place to completely ignore whatever craziness there is going on in the world, particularly the Democrat craziness in Denver?

A TALE OF TWO SORDID WASHINGTONIANS

Dr. Jack Wheeler August 23, 2007

Last Saturday (8.18), a once enormously influential man in Washington died. He was eulogized in every important newspaper from the New York Times to the Wall St. Journal to the Washington Times. Let me tell you a completely unknown story about him.

Before his presidency, Ronald Reagan lived for many years in California. On a regular basis, he had his hair cut at his favorite barbershop in Beverly Hills. After his election and before he moved to Washington, a friend of mine was assigned to his transition team. Thus he accompanied Mr. Reagan to his barbershop appointment.

My friend was startled to see an elderly man who just happened to be getting a haircut in the very next chair to which Mr. Reagan was seated. The elderly man immediately began chatting up Mr. Reagan. My friend was startled because the man was a Communist, the son of the founder of the Communist Party USA, one of America's richest and most powerful men who had made his fortune doing business with the Soviet Union since the days of Lenin.

His name was Armand Hammer.

My friend was seriously alarmed. The president-elect's personal schedule and whereabouts was a highly-kept secret. For someone in league with the Soviets to know it meant that someone - Armand Hammer - had a mole within Mr. Reagan's team on his payroll. It took my friend years to find out the mole's identity. It was the lionized man who died last Saturday.

TENET’S TANTRUM

Michael Ledeen May 3, 2007

In December 2001, I participated in discussions between two Pentagon officials and Iranians who claimed knowledge of Iranian-sponsored efforts to kill Americans in Afghanistan.

We met in Rome, Italy over several days. The discussions were approved by Stephen Hadley, the deputy national-security adviser, and the two Defense department officials' travel was approved by their superiors. The American ambassador in Rome was fully informed in advance, and fully briefed afterwards.

The conversations produced detailed information about the identities, locations, and plans of Iranian-trained terrorists in Afghanistan. This was passed on to the proper authorities at the DoD, and I was later told by military officers that the information likely saved American lives.

Now comes the former DCI (director of central intelligence), George Tenet, with several pages about the meeting in his new book. His every word, it seems, is meant to justify the chilidish tantrum he had over the meeting.

HOME ENTERTAINMENT – THE PC WAY

Dennis Turner March 1, 2006

It looks like we won't have to put up with DVDs much longer.

More and more people are bypassing them and directly copying or downloading movies, TV shows, and computer games directly to their computers - in contravention of the will of the movie and music producers and, in many cases, of the law.

Folks are figuring out how, with free or low cost software, their PC can be more than a computer - it's a media center. It plays music, movies, TV shows, and can do all sorts of other wonderful things - like pick up local radio stations and terrestrial high definition TV broadcasts.

Let's get you started in turning your PC into a home entertainment center.

DID CASTRO KILL KENNEDY?

Jack Kelly January 6, 2006

In a documentary broadcast in Berlin Friday, German filmmaker Wilfried Huismann added a new twist to an old controversy.

In Dallas on Nov. 22nd, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who himself was killed days later by small time mafioso Jack Ruby. The following September, a commission chaired by then Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded Oswald had acted on his own.

This finding was unsatisfying to millions of Americans, who didn't want to believe that so beloved a president could have his life snuffed out just because, the Warren Commission surmised, a fruitcake loser wanted some attention. There had to be more significance to the act. There had to be a deeper, darker conspiracy.

CHINA’S TRIPLE-D NIGHTMARE OF DEFLATION, DEVALUATION AND DEFAULT

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard January 15, 2015

China is at mounting risk of a financial crisis this year as growth sputters and deflationary pressures trigger a wave of defaults.

This is the warning issued by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The US lender is telling clients that a confluence of forces is threatening to chill the speculative mania on the Shanghai stock exchange and to expose the underlying fragility of China's $26 trillion edifice of debt.

"A credit crunch is highly probable," says the investment bank in a clients-only report entitled "Focus on the Triple D: Deflation, Devaluation, and Default," written by David Cui, Tracy Tian and Katherine Tai. Mr. Cui, Head of China Equity Strategy at BofA Merrill Lynch, is the No. 1 ranked China strategist by Institutional Investor magazine.

They say the country's highly-leveraged companies cannot safely withstand President Xi Jinping's drive to stamp out moral hazard and wean the country off excess credit, warning that the mix of slower growth and excess debt "could prove lethal for the financial system."

Analysts from other financial institutions agree.

HALF-FULL REPORT 10/03/14

Dr. Jack Wheeler October 3, 2014

This picture of Teddy Roosevelt is a family heirloom. The reason is that the man standing in front of TR is the Chief of the Secret Service Presidential Bodyguard - my grandfather Lucien C. Wheeler. For 20 years (1902-1922), Lucien guarded the lives of four presidents: TR, Taft, Wilson, and Harding.

I have such fond memories of Papa as a young boy. He spoke with reverence about the Secret Service and its sacred duty to guard the President. I can only imagine the contempt and disgust he would feel over what Zero has done to it. I know what he would say: "The fish rots from the head."

In the wake of a trio of scandals, Julia Pierson had to resign as Secret Service Director on Wednesday (10/01). And just how did the press learn of these scandals such as a felon with a gun being in an elevator with Zero? They were leaked by Secret Service agents themselves disgusted by Julia's incompetence and considered her "a joke from Day One."

Secret Service leaks embarrassing Zero are just the start of what promises to be an endless succession. This was made clear by Piers Morgan of all people (remember him?), who explained how Zero "committed professional suicide" last Sunday (9/28) on 60 Minutes...

Two more gifts came out of Zero's big mouth this week. Yesterday (10/02) at Northwestern University, he uttered what the WaPo's Chris Cillizza reports were "28 Words Democrats Wish Obama Really Didn't Say." ...

Here's a trio of Good News rulings for the week... followed by the HFR Hero of the Week. We have five candidates...

And here's why Abbott and Costello make the HFR think of Ted Cruz.

HOW TO PROTECT AMERICA AND HAVE ISLAM BE A RELIGION OF PEACE

Oleg Atbashian September 5, 2014

President Obama's White House statement on Aug. 28 was clear on two things: "ISIS must be defeated" and "we don't have a strategy yet."

With this in mind, let me offer a modest proposal that requires no military escalation, no additional defense spending, and no sacrifice of the American troops in the Middle East.

The president has already recognized the beheading of an American journalist as a terrorist attack on the United States and is said to be considering all options to protect Americans from the ISIS threat reaching the U.S. So let's take him at his own word and propose that his list of "all options" should begin with:

(1) An end to political correctness, and

(2) A moratorium on pandering to immigrant groups in order to win elections for the Democrats.

Let's call them Option One and Option Two. Like it or not, they must be in place before the president can even begin to think about protecting our borders and profiling terrorists at the airports in order to prevent any of the 3,000 members of ISIS who have U.S. or European passports from slipping into America, where they know they have an extensive and well-funded support base.

Which brings us to Option Three: Extinguish their support base inside the U.S. There's an easy way to do it.

THE WORLD’S BEST GOVERNMENT

Richard Rahn August 12, 2014

Geneva. Switzerland is not perfect, but as countries go, it is hard to find one that is much better.

The more people know about Switzerland, the higher regard they tend to have for it. By almost any measure of human accomplishment, and particularly in creating a most successful country governance model, the Swiss are clearly No. 1 in the world.

Switzerland is a small, landlocked nation without much in the way of natural resources. It has managed to stay out of wars for two centuries and developed a long-term multilingual and multireligious democracy without strife. There is a rule of law with competent and unbiased judges and strong protections for private property.

Switzerland also ranks higher than average among the OECD countries (the 35 most-developed economies in the world) in levels of education and student test scores, and has lower levels of air and water pollution.

Civil liberties are strongly protected, including freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and even the right to own guns. It does not get much better than this.

THE MANCHURIAN CONSPIRACY

Wayne Allyn Root July 16, 2014

The greatest conspiracy in world history is being carried out by the real-life "Manchurian Candidate": President Barack Hussein Obama.

My definition of a "Manchurian Candidate" is a person who hates everything America stands for and whose goal is to win the presidency for the express purpose of destroying the greatest nation, the greatest economic system, and the greatest middle class in world history. That, my friends, describes Obama. I'm not basing it on rumors or innuendo. I'm basing it on the facts.

I know liberals hate facts, but bear with me. So here are a few, which I lay out more fully in my new book, The Murder of the Middle Class:

For the first time in American history more businesses are closing each day than they are starting.

More Americans now receive entitlements than work full-time.

There are now 70 percent more Americans collecting entitlement checks than working in the private sector (148 million "takers" vs. 86 million "makers").

The average full-time male employee now earns less (adjusted for inflation) than he did forty years ago.

Twenty percent of U.S. families don't have a single member who is employed.

CALIFORNIA IN EUROPE

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 16, 2014

We'll have to deal with the deluge of dictatorship Zero and his minions are inflicting upon us in the HFR tomorrow. Today, we have to take a break and get outta this place. How about to one of the world's most pleasant places, Europe's California?

Especially since we're going to have a TTP Retreat there in March. More about that later.

Both my wife, Rebel, and I grew up in California, so we know it when we see it - and we recognized it right away in Portugal. The weather, the plants, the ocean, the sunsets in the ocean, the coast - which is more beautiful than Italy's (okay, except for Amalfi), way more friendly than France's (surprise), and far less known and populated than Spain's.

Then of course, there's the great wine and great food.

Also of course, there are differences. California, as anyone who grew up there knows, no longer exists - it is Mexifornia, as Victor Davis Hansen terms it, with a Hispanic vise-grip on the government in Sacramento welcoming an illegal alien flood. The European corollary is Eurabia - the flood of Moslems demographically destroying so many countries like France, where half the schoolchildren in many major cities today are Moslem.

But not in Portugal. The Moslem population is miniscule. Make that invisible. You never see a mosque, you never see a woman in a burka. The Portuguese are Christian Europeans. They kicked Moslem invaders from Africa out of their country 764 years ago (in 1249) and are happy to keep it that way.

California's history is as recent as Portugal's is ancient. People have been living there before they were people.

TWO AMERICAN HEROS NAMED ARMSTRONG

Dr. Jack Wheeler August 28, 2012

The memory of exactly where I was remains vividly clear. On July 20, 1969, in the home of Leeds and Linda Davis in Honolulu, Hawaii, I sat transfixed in front of a television with a group of friends - several of whom are TTPers today - and watched the single greatest achievement in mankind's history as it was happening: Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon.

We all realized we were witnessing an unmatched heroic triumph, but we didn't realize at the time just how heroic. As the Eagle Lunar Lander was on approach to land at a spot NASA dubbed Tranquility Base, its computer malfunctioned, the fuel gauge was flashing red-empty, and the designated landing area was riddled with boulders. The Eagle Lander was about to crash.

Armstrong took the controls away from the computer, and smoothly flew the Lander himself to a boulder-free spot, gently set it down on the surface of the moon, and calmly reported to NASA Control and all humanity: "Houston, Tranquility Base here - the Eagle has landed."

This great man passed away last Saturday (8/25) at age 82. A Congressman who I talked to observed, "One thousand years from now, the single most remembered name from our times will be Neil Armstrong."
