Republicans demonstrated clearly on Thursday that Hillary Clinton lied routinely and repeatedly about events leading up to and following the terrorist attacks in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. But the media have declared Hillary the big victor. That was pre-ordained,
Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement on Wednesday that he would not run for president of the United States made it a foregone conclusion that the media would worship at the shrine of Hillary Clinton during her Benghazi testimony on Thursday.
New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been fêted for his heartthrob status. That’s all that distinguishes him from Bernie Sanders.
Former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson has now gone on the record: American Christians aren’t Christian enough if they don’t fund or house Muslim migrants from the Middle East.
The international left’s shoddy treatment of Israel continues, even as Palestinian terrorists commit daily atrocities against Jewish civilians, egged on by Palestinian leadership. President Barack Obama’s administration continues to draw moral equivalence between Israel and those who seek to murder Jews; the media continue to treat Israel as the moral pariah even as it attempts to stop attacks on its citizens; the international community continues to suggest that Israeli concessions would suddenly transform villains into Whovilleians.
The Republican Party is now in a last-ditch effort to save itself – and the only answer is presidential victory, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Speaking with the Washington Examiner, Priebus explained, “We’re seeing more and more that if you don’t hold the White House, it’s very difficult to govern in this country – especially in Washington D.C. However, I think that we may have become, unfortunately, a midterm party that doesn’t lose and presidential party that’s had a really hard time winning.”
In Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pushed forward her preferred narrative about female victimhood in the United States: women aren’t paid equally for equal work.
Tuesday night’s debate featured a master class on lying from the lying liar who lies about her lies, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She spoke for approximately 24 minutes, and aside from her opening statement – “I’m Hillary Clinton” – virtually every word that exited her mouth was untrue.
New York Times “conservative” columnist David Brooks released Tuesday an all-out assault on grassroots conservatives, name-checking Ted Cruz, Newt Gingrich, Ben Carson, and Rush Limbaugh in the process. “Basically,” writes Brooks, “the party abandoned traditional conservatism for right-wing radicalism. Republicans came to see themselves as insurgents and revolutionaries, and every revolution tends toward anarchy and ends up devouring its own.”
In world history, Jews have never had it better than they have for the last two decades. The rise of Israel as a strong international power made it possible for Jews to feel safer all over the planet; the fall
On Thursday, Republican 2016 presidential contender Dr. Ben Carson stated on CNN that the Holocaust would have been less likely had Jews been armed.
The Get Ben Carson Express has left the station and has now reached maximum velocity.
As Dr. Ben Carson continues his rise in the 2016 Republican presidential polls, media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweeted favorably about him: “Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.”
Obama’s strong stand on Gitmo underscores two vital points. First, President Obama does not fear defunding America’s national security. Second, Obama does not fear Republicans in Congress.
Congress plans to rush through a bill that would release criminals from prison under the rubric of criminal justice reform. According to media, the bill is designed to rectify supposed racial imbalances in the criminal justice system, not to release more innocents or to ensure the safety of the public.
After the Vatican revealed Friday that Pope Francis’ meeting with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis did not constitute “support,” the Vatican revealed yet another juicy tidbit about the Pope’s trip: he requested a meeting with a homosexual couple.
Appearing on MSNBC, 2016 Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, “We have millions of sick people all over the world… This is sort of unique to our country – the school shootings.”
First, the Pope kept his meeting with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis a secret. Davis, of course, refused to license same-sex marriages, stating that it conflicted with her religious viewpoint; for that refusal, she was briefly jailed for contempt of court.
One of the oddest spectacles of recent years has been the political class’s utter befuddlement as to the decline in crime over recent decades.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said in his April 2005 state of the nation address that the “collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century.” Putin, an old KGB operative, yearns for the days of the USSR, when the Soviets vied with the Americans for global power. He’s spent well over a decade trying to rebuild that lost legacy in the Middle East.
Many conservatives viewed the prospect of the Pope’s visit to the United States with a mixture of hope and trepidation: hope, because the Pope’s visit would force heavy media coverage of religious issues; trepidation, because of Pope Francis’ mixed record on issues ranging from climate change to illegal immigration.
Today, speaking at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped into the leadership of outgoing Speaker of the House John Boehner. “Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House,” Cruz said. “Ya’ll come to town
On Friday morning, Speaker of the House John Boehner announced that he would be leaving Congress on the day before Halloween. Presumably, he already has a gig booked the next night as a pumpkin.
For years now, Pope Francis’ more conservative defenders have stated that his words have been consistently misinterpreted by the media. There’s truth to that. But there was no way to misinterpret his speech today, delivered in plain English to an adoring left.
On Tuesday, Senate Democrats protected President Obama from having to veto a bill that would have made it illegal to murder an unborn child after the 20th week of fetal development.
