Obama Unemployment, Approval Rates Continue Reagan Pattern
2012-02-04 16:38:00 While the GOP tries to figure out which fat cat will be served up to President Barack Obama this fall, Obama himself is continuing to enjoy approval and unemployment rates that have taken on a “Reagan trajectory.” This space reported that last fall, Obama’s approval rating was higher than that for both President Reagan and (Read More...)

Kendrick Lamar - Ronald Reagan Era (feat. RZA)
2011-06-18 22:02:00 Coming into 2011, I had a lot of albums I had been eagrly waiting for that would come out, but Kendrick Lamar's LP --#Section80--wasn't really on my radar. So it's ironic that I now predict that Sec80 will be the album of the year.I've been enlighten by the songs we've heard off the album, that are ridicoulsy dope and it reminds us that TopDawgEnt. will be a force to be reckoned with, especially since their signees are Jay Rock, Ab Soul, SchoolBoyQ and the aforementioned K. Dot.Ronald Reagan Era is the latest single by Kendrick Lamar, which was released probably in one of the best week Hip-Hop has seen in awhile, and RRE is --in my opinion--the best track released in...
Remembering D-Day With Ike and Reagan
2011-06-06 19:30:00 -By Paul Kengor For me, Memorial Day happens twice within a week. The first, the official holiday at the end of May, is quickly reinforced a week later, every June 6: D-Day. Of all the wartime anniversaries, none strike me quite like D-Day -- the invasion of Normandy, the liberation of France, the final push to defeat Nazi Germany. It was June 6, 1944, a date that sticks like December 7, like July 4, like September 11. The mix of extreme sorrow and triumph has been unforgettably replicated on film by Steven Spielberg in the stunning opening of Saving Private Ryan. What must it have been like to be among those first waves at the beaches? Indescribable, simply indescribable....
How Ronald Reagan Almost Became A Film Franchise
2011-05-28 00:12:00 A few weeks ago, I purchased a screenplay known as "The Secret Adventures Of Ronald Reagan". I wrote about it asking if anyone knew about the origins of the screenplay on this blog and didn't get much of a reply save for one spammer commenting. I decided to do the leg work on my own to find out the origins of this screenplay and why it never got produced. I contacted Daniel Selznick (son of David Selznick who produced Gone With The Wind) who on the telephone gave me the email of the writer of the screenplay Lindsay Naythons. The following is the entire story from the horse's mouth about how the screenplay came to be:I loved Reagan and was always...
What Did Reagan Do and How Have Other Nations Solved Their Fiscal Problems?
2011-02-24 00:33:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation at CATO has made a few videos that help us understand how we have fixed some of our fiscal troubles in the past. In part two they also looked at a few foreign countries. Now, I have to admit that I am not much interested in what other nations do about anything. They aren't America. Still, in part two below the folks at the CATO Institute have pointed out a few things that are instructive, if not a tad wonky. These videos are worth taking a look at.

Ronald Reagan talks strategy and 'Obamacare'
2011-02-10 17:46:00 Courtesy of jscreationzsWith government red ink facing us as far as the eye can see, I came across an interesting piece of audio on The Daily Caller website that was released by the American Medical Association. In it, Ronald Reagan discusses legislation being offered by California congressmen to offer government-run health insurance coverage for ALL senior citizens, no matter their ability to pay for private coverage. It was 1961 and the program is now known as Medicare. In the audio, Reagan talks about the "foot in the door" approach to the march to socialized medicine. His words are prescient. With today's hot topic being Obamacare, this country is again at a crossroads and this recording is amazing in that what...

Ronald Reagan: Father of the Tea Party
2011-02-06 15:46:00 -By Warner Todd Huston We are still living in Ronald Reagan's era, despite the constant refrains from Democrats and the left that Reaganism is long dead. As we observe his 100th birthday, it is also beneficial to point out that in many ways Reagan is the father of the Tea Party Movement. It was his great success, his sunny optimism that gave the Tea Partiers the grounding and confidence that they could, indeed, make a difference. Like many politically active people today, Ronald Reagan is my favorite president in my lifetime. For me, he was also the first president for whom I could vote and I did so with glee. In fact, if it weren't for Ronald Reagan I may...
Super Bowl Sunday? Ronald Reagan's Birthday? ... Not Really
2011-02-06 15:00:00 I know that today is Ronald Reagan's birthday and that's it's Super Bowl Sunday (GO STEELERS!), but what really matters today is it's the birthday of someone very special to me. Number 1 son was born 27 years ago today. He weighed 9 lbs and 4 oz. Thanks to him, his brother and sister have perfectly round heads. Can you say c-section?Those first several months were brutal. That child screamed non-stop and no matter what we did or what the doctor recommended he continued to scream. By the time #1 son quieted down, I was pregnant with #2 son. My husband warily asked, "Do you think #2 will scream like #1?" "No," I said. "God wouldn't do that to us...

Become Your Own Bizarro Nancy Reagan, and "Just Say Yes"
2010-04-20 05:58:00 Unlike Nancy Reagan's attempt during the 1980s, you should say "Yes" to almost every invitation you are offered to discuss your career and/or a possible job. Who knows where this can bring you? Can it open a door that you did not even know existed? Perhaps. Can it be someone babbling on to you his or her theory on what job is best for you? Most than likely. But you should have enough confidence in yourself to know when someone is giving you information you should retain and utilize, and when someone is trying to simply give you a sales pitch. But these discussions allow you to keep your skills sharp when describing your background and what you are...
