As predicted, the Democratic circular firing squad has convened in the wake of the historic losses President Barack Obama's party suffered at the polls last week. The long knives are out, and Democrats are searching for someone, anyone, on to whom they

15 Comments
Yuval Levin asks a good question at The Corner today regarding a proposal made by John Boehner and Mitch McConnell as part of the new GOP agenda. It involves doing some editing to Obamacare, redefining the work week from 30 hours to 40. The first thing

When Aaron Blake says “nearly half,” he’s not kidding. Thanks to the massive Republican wave one week ago, 49.7% of the US population will now live in states where the GOP controls the legislature and the executive. Only slightly more

Lynch will have to wait for GOP-controlled Senate?
11/11/2014 8:31:47 AM  Ed Morrissey

Either this is the result of being too cute in timing the appointment, or a measure of Loretta Lynch’s first impression on the GOP caucus. Both Democratic and Republican aides tell The Hill that the Senate will not have the time to confirm Eric

Edit: I scheduled this before I was on O’Reilly tonight, and for some reason, it did not save properly, so apologies for leaving you hanging, guys. There’s a part of me that doesn’t blame these folks. Even I, great political cynic that

Don’t e-mail me to complain that there’s a spoiler in the headline. It’s not a spoiler. No one seriously believed this goober was going to save the world. Not even Abraham Ford, I think. After 55 minutes of this one, I was set to do a

Oh my: Romney aides circulating memo contrasting him with Hillary as 2016 primary season looms
11/10/2014 8:31:00 PM  Allahpundit
148 Comments
One way to look at Dubya’s claim that Jeb Bush is 50/50 about running is that that means Romney is 50/50, or close to 50/50, too. If Jeb says no, the door is open. And more importantly, even if it’s only open a crack now, Romney’s inner

Lots of applause on conservative Twitter today for this set of proposals by Glenn “Instapundit” Reynolds. I like ‘em too but I’m skeptical that five of them have a chance. Glenn’s goal is to stick Obama with a raft of

Boy, did we miss the boat on this one. As was reported here repeatedly, Hillary Clinton hit the campaign trail for the Democrats in all the battleground states where Obama feared to tread. She was almost always welcomed with open arms, but as Rand Paul

Alternate headline: Obama brings consensus to Capitol Hill. Even when Bob Woodward floated this nugget on CBS’ Face the Nation yesterday during the panel discussion, it wasn’t really news. The soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader’s chief

Rand Paul on Hillary: Running for president is an awfully grueling ordeal for someone so old and frail
11/10/2014 6:31:19 PM  Allahpundit
81 Comments
In fairness, the “old and frail” part is merely implied. But it’s strongly implied. I’d place odds that he’s openly referring to her as “Grandma” by next summer at 50/50. In a POLITICO interview, the 51-year-old

It’s something of a given that turnout in midterm elections is lower than in presidential years, with the odd year and special elections being even worse. But how low was it last Tuesday? Early reports indicate that the national interest in

In a fascinating piece in USA Today, Glenn Reynolds (AKA Instapundit) urged the Republican Party in control of the next Congress to pass six bills right away. They are not cautious proposals. Reynolds's suggestions include repealing the drinking age

Via Larry O’Connor, remember last week when Baghdad Bob here predicted Democrats would hold the Senate? We’re almost done with the post-election gloating. But not yet, my friends, not yet. This is fun as a rare admission of defeat from one of

The ink was barely dry on Scott Walker’s ballots in his third statewide win in four years when Chuck Todd asked him about his pledge to serve out four more years. That’s understandable; everyone assumes the two-term Governor of Wisconsin has

This would work better as a late-night palate cleanser but I’m already late to it after it broke big online Friday, so late-afternoon it is. There are two rules to watching. One: If you have a weak stomach for gore, even amateurish gore, skip it.

Sheriffs plan mass protest in DC over lame duck president's amnesty plan

Now, I’m not saying that anyone in the White House is going to listen to anybody else in terms of the Executive Amnesty Plan of 2014. But, theoretically, if they were going to listen to somebody on this subject, you’d think it might be the

The election is over and the 2016 race won’t really get into full swing until next weekend, so we may as well have a little fun in the meantime. If you’re reading Hot Air, you’re probably exposed to cable news fairly often just as we
