A new movie called “College Republicans” is set to star Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, as a young Lee Atwater and Dane DeHaan of “Chronicle” as Karl Rove. (Evidently the stars are only “considering” the roles, according to The Wrap.)
The “Boycott Israel” movement gives all of the world’s wheezy old anti-Semites, terror sympathizers, and dictator toadies a chance to pretend they have the moral high ground. Sometimes it goes right to their heads. Such was the case with antediluvian
Somehow immigration reform – i.e. amnesty for illegal aliens – keeps coming back from the grave, every time it’s pronounced dead. I believe we’re up to at least five distinct “amnesty is dead” proclamations from Capitol Hill insiders and pundits
No surprises here. The Administration has been assiduously lying about how many of those ObamaCare “enrollees” actually paid their premiums and secured valid insurance policies. The claim that payment totals are an impenetrable mystery has always been ludicrous; even the
Former Transportation Security agent Jason Edward Harrington has a lengthy article at Politico in which he talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on with the TSA. He’s been blogging on the subject for quite some time. To sum
In response to Clapper: Al-Qaeda Not Really ‘On the Run’: I wonder if future generations may not have grim reasons to remember Obama’s endless prevarication on national security to be as significant as his Big Lie on health insurance.
In response to The NBC/MSNBC Clown Car Sputters On, Providing Grim Amusement For All: You’ll be relieved to know that I’m trying to get “Justified” actor Nick Searcy, who knows a few things about loving conservative inter-racial families, to go
In response to FAA Stops Beer Drone Delivery: Maybe the FAA is on to something here. When Skynet takes over, do you really want the Hunter-Killer bots luring us out of hiding with six-packs? Because that would totally work. Especially
The howls of outrage from every corner of the media that would erupt if a top Fox News reporter compared the heroism and sacrifice of a wounded military vet to the annoyances of a cosseted Republican politician that can’t get
By gum, if we’re going to have a “Doctor Who” category here at the Conversation, I’m going to use it to talk about something other than the State of the Union Address, because I think the current state of the
The big finish to President Obama’s State of the Union address involved saluting Army Ranger Sgt. Cory Remsburg: I first met Cory Remsburg, a proud Army Ranger, at Omaha Beach on the 65th anniversary of D-Day. Along with some of
In response to Why Democrats Love Obama’s Minimum Wage Hike: Don’t forget about the allure of high unemployment, which is politically profitable to socialists, provided they don’t get blamed for it. Unemployable people make great government dependents. Employed people are
Much hay is being made over a Washington Post poll that purports to show 52 percent public support for President Obama’s imperial regime of rule by executive order. But that’s not the question the poll asked. It stated the
In response to What Makes Hillary So ‘Inevitable’ in 2016?: I’ve been wondering the same thing, because even if you overlook the rather difficult-to-overlook-but-by-God-the-media-will-try matter of Benghazi, the State Department under Hillary was a mess. If memory serves correctly, there
In response to Obama’s Imperial Presidency: Just what America really needed: a fusion of Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon. You know, I hate to sound cynical, but I don’t see how even a Supreme Court smackdown over NLRB appointments is
Hard times for AFSCME in Wisconsin, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, as Governor Scott Walker’s collective bargaining reforms cut an astounding 45 percent from the union’s revenue stream. A union official lets slip the reason, in the course of attempting
Further to yesterday’s point about how a complicated mass of laws can be used to smack down citizens who find themselves in violation of rules they never knew existed, conservative writer Mark Steyn has been embroiled in a years-long legal
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) links Obama’s depressed poll numbers to the failure of ObamaCare: The more Americans find out about Obamacare, the more President Obama’s approval rating drops: http://t.co/VUFSrhUgT7 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 22, 2014 The article Cruz links
The word “discrimination” has an uneasy cultural pedigree, because sometimes it’s meant as a salute to good taste, but other times it’s held as a synonym for unreasonable prejudice. Uncle Sam’s ability to discriminate works both ways. Big Government means
Yesterday’s media tempest in a teapot was brewed after reporters either intentionally misquoted Mike Huckabee, or were incredibly sloppy in relaying an especially fiery line from his speech to the Republican National Committee. He accused Democrats of wanting to “insult
In response to Polls Show That Democrats’ Favorite Campaign Themes Fall Flat With The American People: You will, of course, be Made To Care about all these issues, because they command majority support among the elite. The Thought Leaders on
In response to Welcome to the Obama Economy, College Grads: I think about the forlorn American university grad, toting a nearly useless degree and carrying a hundred grand in student loan debt on his back, every time I read about
In response to Wendy Davis’ Ex Had A Judge Issue a Restraining Order Against Her In 2003: Far be it for me to interrupt Wendy Davis while she’s chowing down on her own pink sneakers, but it’s somewhat interesting that
Today’s big story about retail giant Target dropping insurance coverage for its part-time employees and dumping them into the ObamaCare exchanges (good luck with that, kids!) highlights two of the worst features of ObamaCare (or two of its best features,
Thomas Sowell calls out the merchants of envy for two of their biggest “income inequality” myths in his latest column. In both cases, a political crusade is built upon willful misrepresentation of data. The more complex matter he discusses
