Of all guest hosts appearing on the Rush Limbaugh radio show, Mark Steyn holds the most natural gift for imaging defining nuggets of culture. Beyond the British accent, it is this talent that reverberates among political Conservatives and media with a preference for wisdom in creative analysis and understanding.

Listening while driving, I almost laughed till I wrecked. Typically brief and brutal Steyn said, “Obama penalizes the lawful, while incentivizing the lawless.”

AG Pruitt fighting EPA for coal

EPAhazeOklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt along with attorneys general from 16 other states filed a comment letter with the EPA opposing the agency’s unlawful plan to regulate power plants.

Lankford: Disability programs of waste, fraud and abuse

JamesLankfordSpeakingWashington—Representative James Lankford (R-Okla.) expressed frustration after the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report showing evidence of waste, fraud and abuse within the disability insurance programs.

“The results of the OIG’s report demonstrate that our greatest concerns have been true for years. SSA allowed poorly supervised administrative law judges (ALJs) to carry large case loads, which has ultimately encouraged quantity over quality and threatened the viability of the disability program,” said Rep. Lankford.
