55 Comments
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once slandered by an unnamed White House official as a "chickens***," does not seem so timid anymore. The White House did not feel that it was especially necessary to even investigate who made those insulting

At least this time there has been an evacuation of some American personnel, this time from Yemen. In Benghazi, the Obama administration (with Hillary Clinton in charge at State) left US personnel in an inadequately-secured facility for months after all

Marco Rubio is pretty much in the race now

It would seem that Marco Rubio is tired of watching Mitt and Jeb soak up all the media attention, not to mention the big bundlers, fundraisers and assorted top staffers one needs to launch a successful presidential bid. ABC is reporting that the Florida

President Obama announced many, many things during his State of the Union address that he’d liked to force taxpayers and businesses to do because he thinks they’re swell ideas. These ideas come with hardly a whisper of a reckoning with the

Romney: Climate change is real, man is contributing to it, and it's time to do something about it

It’s not news that he believes it’s real and at least partly man-made, but it is sort of newsy that he thinks it’s time to take action. Actually, wait: I think it probably is news to lots of Republican voters that he thinks AGW is real.

Get ready for a tax season nightmare, Obamacare 'beneficiaries'
1/22/2015 8:01:01 PM  Noah Rothman

For all the headaches that the Affordable Care Act is causing millions of Americans, you would think that Congressional Republicans would be more interested in advancing a proposal or two aimed at positioning theirs as the party in favor of repealing the

A clever idea poorly executed. Silva says the man pulled out a piece of paper with hateful phrases like “God hates gays” and requested her to write them on his cakes. He wouldn’t let employees make a copy of the paper and would not read

Two things. One: There’s no way a Jets fan was going to get through this week without the cheapest possible “Brady handling balls” joke in a headline. So, box checked. Two: As you listen to his “I knew nothing, nothing”

The first GOP presidential debate of the 2016 cycle is… this weekend?
1/22/2015 5:21:10 PM  Noah Rothman
42 Comments
Okay, so it's not really a "debate" per se. And it's certainly not sanctioned by the Republican National Committee. But a panel discussion set for this weekend that will be attended by some of the 2016 election cycle's most talked-about prospective

Obama: We've achieved victory in Europe. NATO: The fighting's never been worse

Let's review what is probably going to be remembered as Barack Obama's most tone-deaf and imprudent statement amid an ocean of similarly ill-considered assertions in Tuesday's State of the Union. Not merely the president but everyone who wrote and vetted

This morning we were treated to the spectacle of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick being marched out in front of the press to answer media charges over deflate-gate. It was a rather sad scene as the coach went on at great length to explain how he

Good lord. It’s like a RINO Yalta. Might as well invite Christie too; someone needs to sit in the Stalin seat in the inevitable group photo. Only the GOP, with a field of power hitters like Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, and Rand Paul, could
