In response to Hillary on Her Hard Knock Life After the White House: This stuff about Hillary claiming to be “dead broke” is hilariously funny, but it’s also going to do some real political damage to her.  She’s already scrambling

In response to AZ Gov Jan Brewer Disturbed and Outraged Feds Have No Plans To Stop Illegal Immigrant Dump: No sooner did I finish writing at length about how the humanitarian crisis on the border was deliberately created by the

J.D. Tuccille has a terrific article over at Reason that illustrates the lunacy of government subsidies mixing with madcap regulatory excess.  Flying into Los Angeles on a small commuter shuttle, Tuccille couldn’t help noticing that half the seats on the

While we await the next round of knuckleheaded essays from American liberals about how debt doesn’t matter and we can just keep borrowing money forever, the grim truth can be glimpsed on the thirsty streets of Venezuela.  If you thought

In response to Victims of Taliban Atrocities Horrified By Bergdahl Prisoner Swap: That Washington Free Beacon post you mentioned is significant news, because it adds a lot of weight to the speculation that the Obama Administration is lying about the

In response to Victims of Taliban Atrocities Horrified By Bergdahl Prisoner Swap: Everyone has their own favorite horror from the Bergdahl deal, whose weaknesses were, I presume, supposed to cancel each other out, but instead worked in a synergy of

In response to AP Reporter: Taliban Proposed Prisoner Swap During Phone Interview: Has there ever before been an Obama scandal that was still getting worse by the hour, days after the story broke?  The new lie about the Taliban supposedly

In response to The ‘Swiftboating’ Dogwhistle: It didn’t take long for the Obamanoids to escalate from calling the troops who served with Bergdahl “swiftboaters” to labeling them “psychopaths,” in the words of the drone from Housing and Urban Development who

It probably isn’t good news when a $150 million movie set to premiere in less than six weeks is abruptly yanked from the schedule and banished to February of next year, but that’s what just happened to “Jupiter Ascending,” the

In response to Clinton Kicks Obama to Curb over Taliban Deal: It’s not just Madame Hillary, either.  Senator Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Intelligence Committee, also turned on Obama – she said he was “totally not following the law!” – and was

John Nolte’s mention of the alarming Week Two drop-offs in box-office receipts for the big blockbuster films this summer is interesting.  I had a sense that it was particularly bad this year, even with “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” a

In response to Sen. Cruz Files 2 Bills To Protect First Amendment From Democrat Assaults (Video): Cruz wrote an excellent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on this subject as well, investing particular energy in shredding the notion that money

In response to Does The Obama Administration Know the Difference Between The Taliban and Haqqani Networks?: It’s been interesting to watch this story unfold today, because you can’t shake the sense it’s not at all going the way Team Obama

Jack Phillips, the baker in Colorado who refused to make a cake for a gay wedding, has decided to stop making wedding cakes, because it’s the only way he can avoid being forced to participate in gay marriage.  From CBS

In response to Red Flags Galore on Bergdahl Swap: No one can be faulted for overlooking the distinction between the Taliban and Haqqani networks, since our glorious multi-layerered fact-checking media gatekeepers haven’t been interested in discussing it so far.  The

In response to American Soldier Held Captive By Taliban Since 2009 Freed in Swap: This whole deal is bristling with red flags.  Let’s start off with the title of your post: Sgt. Bergdahl was not held captive by the Taliban.

I had a nasty feeling the good news about the imminent release of Christian woman Meriam Ibrahim by the Islamofascist regime in Sudan might not hold up.  Sure enough, CNN reports today that what passes for a “government” in Sudan

Great news, if the BBC report holds up: Meriam Ibrahim, the Christian woman sentenced to be whipped and hanged for “apostasy” because her father was Muslim, is going to escape the noose.   As I mentioned on Friday, Ibrahim is

When I reviewed the latest X-Men movie, “Days of Future Past,” I said I thought it was a pity the original cast (who play the chronologically later versions of the characters, in films set in contemporary and near-future times) didn’t

We’re not quite finished cleaning up damage from the Heartbleed bug, a flaw mistakenly included with Internet security software that allows hackers to penetrate secure systems, essentially by using software cudgels to beat them like pinatas until passwords fall out.

In response to #MarineHeldInMexico : It sure would be nice for President Pen-and-Phone to speak up in a few situations where he actually could make an immediate difference, without trampling on the Constitution.  Maybe that’s why he doesn’t say anything.

Tim Carney at the Washington Examiner brings us another heartwarming tale of crony capitalist success, demonstrating once again that campaign donations are the best investment you can make in a politicized economy: James Torrey of Greenwich, Conn., has bundled more

In response to Video: Obama Earns Icy Reception At West Point: Good point that West Point cadets are probably much more familiar with Obama’s foreign and military policy blunders and scandals than the Low Information Voters, and therefore less likely

In response to White House Investigating Outing of CIA Station Chief: Wow, the Obama Administration is investigating itself again!  I can hardly wait to learn the outcome from this hard-hitting piece of detective work, doubtless to be released sometime after
