Rumors of connections to Yemen and terror networks in Iraq arose almost as soon as officials released the identities of the gunmen in the Charlie Hebdo massacre. One surviving witness to the shooting stated that the terrorists cheered their avenging of

On Wednesday, USA Today took the lamentable step of providing a counterpoint to the commonly accepted view that it is wrong to slaughter people charged with the subjectively defined offense of maligning Islam. In an op-ed by radical British cleric Anjem

1/8/2015 8:41:34 AM  Ed Morrissey
106 Comments
USA Today caused a stir last night when they published a column from Anjem Choudary, whom they describe as “a radical Muslim cleric” from London specializing in shari’a law. Earlier in the day, the Financial Times attracted a raft of

There’s a name you probably weren’t expecting to be hearing in January of 2015, eh? While residing close to the back pages of the morning paper, former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is back in the news. And amazingly,

It has been a long, sad day. I have been tweeting about the massacre in Paris, the danger to free speech, and those who are failing it in this time of testing all day. I will write something more thorough in the days to come when my colleagues have not

Poll shows most Americans favor cutting aid to Mexico if they can't stop illegal border crossings
1/7/2015 9:21:46 PM  Jazz Shaw

So I assume that the Democrats are still pushing for “comprehensive” immigration reform with a side helping of amnesty? And there are, I am told, still a number of Republicans making noises about wanting to go along with it. Much like the gun

CNN memo to staff: We are not at this time showing Charlie Hebdo cartoons of "the Prophet"
1/7/2015 8:41:19 PM  Allahpundit
175 Comments
Like I said: Terrorism works. The future will not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. In fact, in the future, maybe our media will refer to him as “the Prophet” without further description. If you’re going to live by one

Is Jeb Bush running for president of the media?
1/7/2015 8:01:55 PM  Noah Rothman
71 Comments
Jeb Bush will have to overcome a number of hurdles in order to secure the Republican Party's nomination for president in 2016. The most significant of these seems today to be the conservative base's antipathy towards Bush's positions on a variety of

Howard Dean: These terrorists are about as Muslim as I am
1/7/2015 7:21:30 PM  Allahpundit
115 Comments
Via Newsbusters. Alternate headline: “Howard Dean added to terrorist watch list.” A good example of rhetoric that undermines public confidence in the political class, even though all Dean-o’s trying to say here (I think) is that

Left claims GOP is trying to destroy Social Security on day one of new congress
1/7/2015 6:41:05 PM  Jazz Shaw
59 Comments
Some new media critics really need to make up their minds. It’s either a Do Nothing Congress or a Do Something Awful Congress. If you ask the folks at Talking Points Memo, we’ll be leaning toward the latter because the House was getting busy

Cuba: Yeah, we're not really going to release all of those political prisoners
1/7/2015 5:21:43 PM  Ed Morrissey

Did anyone actually think Cuba would release all 53 political prisoners whose release Barack Obama demanded for normalized relations? Outside of the White House and John Kerry’s State Department, that is? The Cuban government is resisting the

It took them long enough. Recall that when Mary Landrieu pushed her own version of an authorization for the Keystone XL pipeline, Barack Obama and the White House played coy, hoping to help her win the runoff election that she ended up losing in a

Before you start in the comment section, I know. It’s Lindsey Graham. He’s a RINO. Amesty or something. In response to the terrorist attack this morning in Paris, he’s the first elected official to call it like it is, firmly and

Any French speakers want to help me out by translating this? The names and initials of the jihadis are clear enough, at least: Il s’agirait de trois hommes âgés de 18 ans, 32 ans, 34 ans. Les deux trentenaires, de nationalité française, sont des

Nate Silver: Chris Christie is unlikely to be the GOP's 2016 nominee

Jazz is going to have his hands full in the noble effort to convince America that resistance to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's ascension to his predestined status as the GOP's 2016 nominee is futile. He will now have to contend with vaunted statistical

A memorable line from Obama’s 2012 speech to the UN made fresh anew this morning by two degenerates in Paris who strongly, strongly agree. This quote is all over conservative Twitter this afternoon for understandable reasons: It’s an

Financial Times columnist: Charlie Hebdo kinda asked for it, y'know
1/7/2015 2:01:52 PM  Ed Morrissey

Ahem. One might expect this kind of reaction from apologists for radical Islam or for those predispositioned to be contrarians, but people within the media world who rely on the ability to offer criticism, including ridicule on occasion? Via Dylan Byers

The two French police officers, who both lost their lives in the effort to prevent the Charlie Hebdo attackers from executing their grim mission, are heroes. Their sacrifice in defense of their fellow citizens is beyond noble, and their bravery will be

Oklahoma lawmakers want to really crack down on drunk driving. In fact, they are so serious about that subject that they are mulling a new law which would send you to jail if you purchase any alcohol during your probationary period after being convicted

Mulvaney: Where were these guys in November?
1/7/2015 12:01:41 PM  Ed Morrissey

Rep. Mick Mulvaney isn’t exactly a John Boehner crony. The Republican from South Carolina supported the revolt two years ago against the Speaker by voting for no one, and had an opportunity to join yesterday’s as well. Instead, he voted for

An excellent question raised by the Free Beacon, one I’ve been thinking about all morning. The answer will help determine the extent of international reprisals for the attack. A brutal video from the terrorist shootings in Paris shows men armed

White House couldn't be sure at first if Paris bloodshed was a 'terrorist attack'
1/7/2015 11:01:31 AM  Noah Rothman

White House Press Sec. Josh Earnest initially responded to the horrific attack in Paris on Wednesday like an automaton. In an appearance on CNN at 8:45 a.m. ET, Earnest robotically began by condemning this episode of "violence" and touting the efforts
