President Barack Obama is now campaigning and fundraising directly off attacks on the wealth of conservative casino magnate and prominent Jewish philanthropist Sheldon Adelson. Adelson’s good works enjoy bipartisan support–so much so that Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who

The Romney campaign has released an ad that makes the most of Mitt Romney’s recent trip to Israel, and aims squarely at Barack Obama’s record in office. The 30-second ad, which is made for television, contrasts Romney’s visit and his

While the mainstream media is burying the rising 8.3 % unemployment rate by touting 163,000 jobs created in July, there is another number they are ignoring: the fact that roughly 200,000 fewer people reported that they were working. The Bureau

With a rising unemployment rate set to dent President Barack Obama’s re-election efforts, the mainstream media is about to go into full-spin mode. They can take their cues from the Bureau of Labor Statistics itself, which announced that the jobless

National Public Radio (NPR) is apparently moving from news to full-time, taxpayer-funded Super PAC-style advertising for President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. That is apparent from today’s report by Ari Shapiro on Obama’s campaign appearances in Ohio, where the president–who maintains

The left is going bonkers over another false meme–this time, the idea that Mitt Romney praised the Israeli health care system, which is a single-payer system of the sort that gives conservatives the creeps. Romney specifically mentioned the low cost

The Obama campaign and the left are crowing, predictably, about a comment made by Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak to CNN’s ever-gullible Wolf Blitzer: “I can see long years [and] administrations of both sides of [the] political aisle deeply supporting

Those journalists and critics knocking Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for his statements praising Israeli culture betray their fundamental ignorance about Israel and what has made it a successful country. They have–deliberately, and at the urging of Palestinian propagandists–made up
