Rand Paul is right. The government doesn't "own" your children
2/3/2015 10:01:08 AM  Jazz Shaw

Apparently anything Rand Paul says is “controversial” these days, and that was certainly the case during a recent interview he did on Closing Bell this week. The subject at hand was the exhausting topic of vaccinations, (which the media

Dude, she’s running. Telling the world that “grandmothers know best,” Hillary Clinton waited until well into the night before weighing in on the vaccine debate yesterday: The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and

2/3/2015 9:01:18 AM  Noah Rothman
27 Comments
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a lot to say about Beyoncé Knowles. In his book, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy, Huckabee praised Knowles' talent, but submitted that her provocative style of dancing would be "best left for the privacy of the bedroom."

Is ethnic cleansing genocide? According to the UN’s International Court of Justice, not always. In dismissing competing claims from former Yugoslavia republics Serbia and Croatia accusing each other of genocide, the forced removal of populations

2/3/2015 8:01:16 AM  Jazz Shaw

Video: Rand Paul says he's heard of "profound mental disorders" in children after vaccines
2/2/2015 10:01:15 PM  Mary Katharine Ham

Sen. Rand Paul is game for plenty of interviews. His approach to the media is the opposite of the prevent defense Mitt Romney played. I like accessibility and willingness to engage, but Paul may find he needs to seek a happy medium that would prevent an

Make-believe is a suspendable offense, even in Texas, it seems, which means not one state can be immune to the scourge that is school administrators without common sense. KERMIT, Texas (YAHOO!) – A 9-year-old boy who boasted to a classmate that he

Ted Cruz's Obamacare repeal bill might be the first to be sent to the White House
2/2/2015 8:41:12 PM  Noah Rothman
41 Comments
Democrats in Congress are fond of reminding the public that congressional Republicans have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act over 50 times. They note, and not without some accuracy, that House Republicans freely forced repeal votes over the course

How many of our commenters agree? I’m surprised to see the guy who’s angling to be the social-con warrior of the primaries this welcoming to righties who diverge on a key “values” issue, especially since he threatened to leave the

Former New York Gov. George Pataki chose Monday to launch a media blitz timed to coincide with his decision to explore a bid for the White House in 2016. Unless you are an avid consumer of cable news, the chances are that you missed this announcement.

Via the Corner, a perfectly empty non-answer from his guest shot on “This Week” yesterday — but worth blogging anyway. As I write this, with more than 90,000 votes tallied, Walker’s crushing the rest of the field in the Drudge

When people talk of socialized medicine in the European model, one touchy subject which always comes up is doctor assisted suicide, or “voluntary euthanasia” if you prefer. One of the more sensational headlines on the subject of late deals

Rand Paul backs up Christie: Most vaccines should be voluntary
2/2/2015 2:01:55 PM  Allahpundit
95 Comments
Paul goes further than Christie did, actually. Christie never said “most” vaccines should be voluntary, just that there should be a balance between liberty and public health interests for each disease. Even Mr. Libertarian seems willing to

2/2/2015 11:31:37 AM  Allahpundit

I’m asking earnestly as I don’t know the answer. Christie’s getting hammered because his comments this morning made him sound oddly agnostic on vaccinations: My wife and I thought it was important for our kids, he seemed to say, but hey

As the markets opened this week, crude oil prices began a slow rally, rising back to $55 per barrel for the first time in weeks. This was in spite the fact that a labor union strike threatened to squeeze off production over the last few days. (Or perhaps
