For the past weeks, the president of the United States has been running around the country lying like a rug about sequester. And yet, in its round-up of sequestration statements made by Obama and others, PolitiFact has not only refused

This Washington Post headline says the reasons are “elusive,” but there’s no question that, when it comes to violent crime, we can forever rule out a couple of left-wing myths: Though gun ownership has spiked along with the poverty rate,

Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter says Robert Gibbs sent him a “threatening email” in 2008 after he wrote an article critical of Barack Obama.   There is a kind of a threatening tone that from time to time, not all the time,

All I want from the news media is for them to treat Democrats like they do Republicans. If you’re going to tie Todd Akin around the neck of the GOP and Mitt Romney, do the same with Jesse Jackson Jr.

I’ve already defended Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), so now it’s my turn to defend the Harvard Crimson–or, more precisely, Harvard itself.  Conservatives are having fun with a recent Crimson editorial admonishing conservatives not to apply to the school if they

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s media group has apologized for its February 21 cover of Bloomberg Businessweek over complaints that it used racist imagery to illustrate the feature story on the housing market. With a title of “The Great American

Why, when it comes gun control, would we believe that the same politicians and media that told us we could keep our health insurance under ObamaCare, and that premium costs wouldn’t rise?  It’s all a hustle, a scam, and a

For a time CNN’s Piers Morgan was able to boost his ratings some through the shameless exploitation of the children murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. But like the slow-motion train wreck he is, people can only stare at

For Obama and his media minions, the stakes around sequester are mammoth. With the economy already tanking, the hope is to blame sequester for the president’s failed left-wing economic policies. If the White House and its media can convince enough

Apparently, CNN’s Ali Velshi is unhappy with my interpretation of his outrageously biased and dishonest sequester reporting yesterday. Here’s our back and forth on Twitter yesterday after my piece published: — You @noltenc followers should know that I did not

In all of today’s tributes and remembrances to the late Andrew Breitbart, there is a common core, a central touch point. Andrew Breitbart was passionately doing something. Andrew Breitbart was accomplishing something. Andrew Breitbart was fighting for something, relentlessly and

Though I didn’t join the Breitbart News team until after the 2012 election, eight months after Andrew Breitbart passed away, I was always really close with him personally.  Andrew inspired me with his passion. I had never met anyone with
