The US economy had another month of relatively strong job creation, adding 295,000 jobs in February while reducing the nominal unemployment level to 5.5%. It’s the fourth month in a row of good numbers, although January’s previous 257,000

This isn't how it is supposed to be. The public's interest in the scandal involving revelations that Hillary Clinton eschewed the use of a secure email address while serving as secretary of state, preferring instead a "homebrew" email server of her

We have two stories unfolding in parallel this week which should allow community organizers and political activists alike to take a pause, draw in a deep breath… and quit. Just give up, folks. Pack your bags, go off the grid and take up fly

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the sledding ban on Capitol Hill. It was enforced last snow storm, to the disappointment of many kids. We also discovered during that storm, you may have to know a Congressman or Senator to sled the hill: You have to

Reports: Clinton email practices violated clear State Dept. rules, Clinton's own directives
3/5/2015 9:21:50 PM  Mary Katharine Ham

Hillary Clinton’s new, groundbreaking form of transparency (as David Brock’s Hair might put it) actually violated “clear-cut” State Department rules in place since 2005, according to Politico reporting: The State Department has

#TBT video: Walter Cronkite warns of an impending ice age
3/5/2015 8:41:08 PM  Ed Morrissey
63 Comments
No, the legendary CBS News anchor wasn’t talking about Hillary Clinton’s reception in the 2016 presidential race, although “ice age” might be a good description of that after the past few weeks. Instead, Walter Cronkite told

John Kerry: Maybe we do need to use military force to oust Assad after all
3/5/2015 8:01:01 PM  Noah Rothman
47 Comments
It was only just over 15 months ago that President Barack Obama's administration embarked on a half-hearted quest to gin up support at home and abroad for a military campaign that would have made good on the president's half-hearted "red line" for action

Some Dems giving up on trying to spin Hillary's e-mail fiasco, mumbling "who gives a sh*t?" instead
3/5/2015 7:21:24 PM  Allahpundit
79 Comments
Honestly, it may be their best remaining play. They can’t claim that private e-mail is good practice when the State Department itself is on record as saying it isn’t. They can’t claim that it’s basically as secure as government

President Barack Obama will leave behind many legacies when he steps aboard Marine One for the last time in January of 2017. Maybe the Obama legacy that was the most unforeseen when he took office in 2009 will be the fact that his administration oversaw

Has Hillary Clinton lost MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell?
3/5/2015 6:01:38 PM  Noah Rothman

According to some Democrats, Hillary Clinton's scandalous refusal to abide by federal law by refusing to use a secure email system while she served as secretary of state is no big deal. “Voters do not give a sh-t about what email Hillary

The off ramp from Obamacare

For the moment, the case of King v Burwell is nothing more than a high stakes game of kibitzing for political analysts and media spokesmodels. No matter how many hints or visual clues we draw from the proceedings or what sort of alphitomancy the legal

NYT: America's anti-ISIS strategy in Iraq is giving Iran a big boost in the region
3/5/2015 4:41:35 PM  Noah Rothman

The White House's relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran is an increasingly complicated one. The administration has made it plain that one of the president's highest priorities before he leaves office is to secure a deal, any deal, with Iran

Democrats getting a bad sense of déjà vu in Hillary scandals
3/5/2015 4:01:02 PM  Ed Morrissey
282 Comments
Saturday at CPAC, I warned Republicans that a contest between Bush nostalgia and Clinton nostalgia in a 2016 presidential race would not turn out well for the GOP. This week, it’s not turning out well for Democrats either, and they’re

Experts tell Gawker: Hillary's shoddy private e-mail security is a potential national security disaster

We already knew it was bad. Not until you read this will you understand how bad. In fact, I debated with myself whether to even include the word “potential” in the headline. The reason it’s there is because cybersecurity experts

Apparently not everyone is high on the new legalized pot situation in Colorado, pun intended. A group of Sheriffs are going to court to try to turn the maryjane train around. A group of sheriffs will file a lawsuit Thursday against Colorado for its legal

War on women at the Clinton Foundation?
3/5/2015 2:01:31 PM  Ed Morrissey
29 Comments
In order to fully appreciate Jeryl Bier’s contribution to the worst week for the Clintons in years, one has to first watch Hillary Clinton in action explaining her raison d’ĂȘtre for 2016. The Democratic only-runner came out of hiding for a

Video: U.S. media outlet goes rogue, asks would-be president about her crooked recordkeeping
3/5/2015 1:21:01 PM  Allahpundit

Only a tabloid would be sleazy enough to actually ask the presumptive Democratic nominee why she doesn’t feel constrained by the same rules of basic accountability that everyone else in the government has to follow. And only a tabloid would stoop

Dems block Obama AUMF on ISIS?
3/5/2015 12:41:56 PM  Ed Morrissey
44 Comments
In yet another fiasco in legislative engagement, the White House-proposed authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) specific to ISIS has floundered in the Senate. Much like Barack Obama’s budget proposals, the AUMF not only can’t get

Oh my: State Department forced out ambassador in 2012 partly for … using private e-mail for official business

A nifty catch by Cuffy Meigs, amplified by Mark Hemingway at the Weekly Standard. Piss-poor security practices weren’t the only reason Scott Gration got dumped as ambassador to Nairobi — the list of grievances in the executive summary of

Ben Carson: What I said about prison sex doesn't "reflect fully my heart" on gay issues

His formal apology came a few hours after this post but the point I made there stands. A guy who’s running as an unapologetic plain-spoken social conservative, who attacks political correctness in nearly every speech he gives, is not a guy
