Report: ISIS chief wounded in air attack
1/20/2015 10:01:12 AM  Ed Morrissey

It’s not the first time we’ve heard this, so treat this report from Iraq with a healthy dose of skepticism. In fact, it’s not quite clear what’s being reported. According to one Iraqi news source, an Iraqi air strike killed Abu

If you followed the toxic enthusiasm MSNBC hosts and guests displayed for hurling accusations of racism or racial insensitivity toward Republicans in 2012, then a recent segment on that cable news network involving comments made by Bobby Jindal should

After the President made it clear that he would be using the regulatory muscle of various agencies such as the EPA to keep implementing his will, Republican legislators began looking for other options to keep him in check. Since they now hold the

Finally: We have another run-of-the-mill Obama speechwriter to deify
1/19/2015 8:01:14 PM  Mary Katharine Ham
49 Comments
It’s nice to see that in the Obama White House, they spread the spirit of delusional self-regard around instead of just focusing it on the president. He certainly produces enough of it to share, and now his speechwriter is the recipient, in the

Sure sounds like Ted Cruz is running for president

He and Rubio are the only two top-tier candidates I thought might pass on the race, and the only reason I thought Rubio would skip it is if Jeb Bush snapped up all the political talent in Florida for his own run. Cruz, I imagined, might pass simply

Good news: You can now buy a real version of the killer police drone from Robocop

The good news is that it is "unclear," according to ABC News, as to whether or not this semi-humanoid robot's "shooting feature" is functional. The bad news is that it is unclear as to whether this semi-humanoid robot's shooting feature is functional.

Leaked docs show Brit intelligence was collecting journalists' emails

Despite our special relationship with the Brits and the fact that they have been staunch allies, every once in a while you run across a story which reminds you just how different our two cultures still are. (And maybe why we revolted in the first place

It was only a matter of time before Western soldiers serving as advisors to Iraqi troops began to take on a role more closely resembling conventional ground forces. Any soldier or journalist who has served as a combat advisor or alongside one knows that,

Oh my: 56% say Republicans should block Obama's executive amnesty

56 Comments
Via Guy Benson. A few commenters torched me after this post last week about a YouGov poll claiming that 55 percent of the public wants the GOP to let Obama’s executive amnesty stand. The question YouGov asked was way too vague, they insisted.

You better sit down for this one: President Barack Obama plans to propose a series of new tax hikes in his State of the Union address. The vast majority of those proposed tax increases are purportedly aimed at the "rich," although they would invariably

Via NRO, I’ve watched this three times and still don’t see the point of the question or the answer. It seems to be a half-baked version of a tu quoque. Sure, says Chuck Todd, we laugh at French Muslims for being angry when Mohammed is mocked,

It’s becoming nearly as much of an annual football tradition as the Pro Bowl. Whether they are accused of secretly filming the practice sessions of other teams, (Spygate) getting hold of the playbooks of their opponents or just looking sneaky, the

On this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, it is tempting to lament the deteriorating state of race relations in the United States. When it comes to ebbing racial comity, those seduced by the allure of casting blame on the present generation for

Michael Moore: I was taught that snipers were cowards

Not all snipers, he’s quick to add. The ones shooting at our guys are pretty cool. I’m too lazy to sift through his archives on Iraq to see if he ever claimed “I support the troops but not their mission,” but if he did, it sounds
