Judicial Watch – the same folks who blew the Benghazi story wide open a few weeks ago, by securing “smoking gun” emails the Administration illegally concealed – just performed the same service for the IRS scandal. They’ve got smoking-gun emails
One of the big drawbacks to solar energy is that it takes up a lot of square footage. Enthusiasts are constantly looking for new places to stash solar panels, such as the expansive roofs of big-box retail stores – an
Here’s another reminder of why it’s a really, really, really, really bad idea for the United States to surrender oversight of the Internet to some nebulous international body: Europe’s highest court just ordered Google – and, by extension, other search
In response to Photo: Ben Affleck as Batman: That’s a pretty good photo, nicely timed to generate a bit of social media excitement. It’s funny how the big blockbuster productions work to keep anticipation simmering for years, especially when they’re
Sure, the Iranians are jerks, and they’re given to making a lot of bloodcurdling threats and chest-thumping boasts. But is what they’re saying in this UK Guardian piece wrong? In a series of interviews in Tehran, top figures who shape
In response to Note to Michelle and Hillary — #SaveOurGirls: You’ve put your finger on the thing about hashtag diplomacy that really bugs me, David – the inherent assumption that the thugs of Boko Haram (or Vladimir Putin and his
It’s long past time to call it a career, Eleanor Clift. Pray you never, ever have to defend this abject stupidity in front of the families of the Benghazi dead. She’s also still trying to push the dead-and-buried “opportunistic attack”
Having previously suggested that the GOP might be pushing too hard for voter ID laws, likely 2016 presidential contender Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) went further in an interview with the New York Times while visiting Memphis this weekend: “Everybody’s gone completely crazy
Shailene Woodley, who starred in the recent film “Divergent,” managed to take over from Kirsten Dunst as the Hollywood feminism freak-out target of the hour, after Time magazine asked her if she considered herself to be a feminist: No because
In response to Satanic Black Mass Stunt At Harvard A Sacrilegious Mockery of Catholicism: Did these people not receive President Obama’s explicit instructions, back when he was busy pretending that a YouTube video caused the Benghazi attacks? And he delivered
Remember when Democrats were screaming that the fiscal discipline of sequestration was the equivalent of wrapping piano wire around Uncle Sam’s neck? Why, those savage and irresponsible spending cuts were going to litter the streets unemployed government workers! We’d be
It’s almost time for Stage Two of the great ObamaCare dump, as the truly breathtaking depths of Barack Obama’s Big Lie are exposed… and America is shoved closer to the howling abyss of single-payer health care, the transformation nobody voted
In response to Journalists Surveyed: Democrats Outnumber Republicans 4 to 1: I can’t say it’s a surprise to find so many reporters loudly declare themselves to be “independents.” I’m only surprised that percentage isn’t higher. It tells you a lot
Look, I disagree strongly with the editorial stance at MSNBC, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t entertaining to watch the buffoons who work for them go face-down in the mud, over and over again. Competence would ruin
It’s reasonable enough to express a preference for having a governor as the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, given the general difficulty of launching such a campaign from Congress. Senator Barack Obama did it, of course, but it would be
I’ll check it out with an open mind when it premieres, but at the moment I honestly cannot see the appeal of “Gotham,” the upcoming Batman prequel series on Fox: It might provide an opportunity for some good film-noir storytelling
I couldn’t resist a bit of vampire melodrama in the headline (evidently, neither can anyone else reporting this story) but it’s pretty exciting news with some great implications for elderly care: it would seem that transfusing young blood into older
Gizmodo reports on the latest effort to refine an old technology until it becomes almost deliriously advanced: Sony’s new 185-terabyte tape cassettes. That’s 18.5 gigabytes – three Blu-Ray discs worth of data – on every square inch of tape. Of
People love superheroes, and they especially love Spider-Man. Simple as that. Put together a halfway decent movie that has Spidey in it, with a performance in the lead role as good as what Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have provided,
Speaking of free expression versus mob rule, chalk up another win for the Heckler’s Veto, as a gang of whiny malcontents manages to scuttle Condoleeza Rice’s commencement address to Rutgers. The Associated Press reports: Rice said in a statement Saturday
I grew up under the impression that there was some sort of “right to privacy” floating among the penumbras and emanations of the Constitution. I guess those penumbras were more like a Constitutional solar flare that has died down dramatically
In response to More Buffoonery: Obama Flacks Mock Fox News’ Benghazi Coverage : I think of all this as a series of coded commands to the White House’s media allies, calling the Praetorian Guard together one last time to close
Margaret Thatcher famously observed that the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money to spend. Before things reach that point, the other people start running out on socialism. Get ready to bid farewell to
What better time than May Day to reflect on the indispensable role of capitalism in liberty and human dignity? The private ownership of capital is intimately tied to both. If the people do not own capital, they have no meaningful
Yesterday I mentioned that increased costs and mandatory spending due to ObamaCare were given credit for keeping the U.S. economy from slipping into negative growth in the first quarter of 2014 (by the slimmest of margins, as GDP growth weighted
