Timing: The State Department target of 'worst ever' cyber attack
3/11/2015 10:31:07 AM  Noah Rothman

At one point in Hillary Clinton's slightly less than marathon press conference on Tuesday, the former secretary of state insisted that there were no security breaches of her personal "homebrew" email server. How could she possibly know this? The

I briefly considered labeling this post as something to do with a Walking Dead Grumble Thread, but didn’t want to run into a copyright infringement suit from AP. Yesterday, while everyone was anxiously awaiting Hillary’s big email server

They're hoping and praying that Trey Gowdy ruins everything

Hillary Clinton's presser failed to satisfactorily answer the questions about her ethics as secretary of state, and those questions will probably dog her candidacy until the day it closes shop. Within an hour of Clinton's theatrical removal from the

Over the last couple of days, media outlets and some Democrats have lost their minds over the letter signed by 47 Republican Senators, sent to Iran to warn them that President Obama does not have the authority to create a lasting agreement without the

WaPo fact checker: This true claim from Ted Cruz is "a nonsense fact"
3/11/2015 8:31:39 AM  Ed Morrissey

Among fact-checkers, Glenn Kessler [see update – written by Michelle Ye Hee Lee] usually performs at the top of the industry, but not everything that that the Washington Post analyst turns out as a gem — and today’s effort is one of his

Nothing to see here: Russia says it has right to deploy nukes in Crimea
3/11/2015 8:01:11 AM  Jazz Shaw
36 Comments
This popped up as what was effectively a side note to another story, but it seems to be indicative of the new, swaggering attitude of Russia these days. Their Foreign Ministry official, Mikhail Ulyanov, had a few casual comments about some of the most

Regardless of President Obama's fecklessness in negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran, 47 Republican U.S. senators engaged in treachery by sending a letter to the mullahs aimed at cutting the legs out from under America's commander-in-chief… They

Poll: Americans understand federal government is worthless, prefer local and state.

Thanks, Obama. No, seriously. Thank you. I don’t wish crippling dysfunction upon our federal government, but since it brings it on itself at every, ever-loving turn, collapsing under its own hulking weight and hardened corruption, I do embrace the

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms has reversed course on a controversial proposal to rework regulations of so-called armor-piercing ammunition in such a way that would have banned the manufacture of a popular type of ammo for the popular AR15

28 Comments
The scandal involving the systematic cover-up of wait times faced by American veterans at VA hospitals might be the most substantial controversy the Obama administration has ever faced. It is the only scandal that forced President Barack Obama to

Split: Heavy majority of tea partiers opposes gay marriage, plurality of rest of GOP supports

A fine little illustration of the divide between the Republican base and many of those who purport to represent them in Washington, in the media, and in fundraising corridors. Consider this a follow-up to the two polls that Noah and I flagged for you

Burger King caves to the activists, drops soda from kids meals

I’ll confess, I was just at Burger King last week on my way home from CPAC but I didn’t notice this. It appears that the home of the Whopper has bowed to the attacks of the No Fat, No Sugar, No Fun crowd, led by folks like Mika Brzezinski,

Aaron Schock draws a primary opponent. Could he be any worse?

The establishment GOP inside the Beltway spent much of 2014 discouraging Republicans from mounting primary challenges to sitting GOP lawmakers. In 2016, the Republican Party would be well-advised not to interfere in the race for Congress in Illinois 18th

Vladimir Putin has maintained the risible claim for over a year that Russia, compelled by circumstances beyond its control, rushed to the rescue of Russian-speaking Ukrainians when Moscow invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula. When a

Hillary trainwreck: It was "inconvenient" to carry two devices for two e-mail accounts. Also, I destroyed tons of e-mails.

Believe it or not, America, today’s newfangled gizmos are capable of accessing multiple e-mail accounts from the same device. You don’t need separate iPhones for your Gmail and work mail. And even if you did, even if the State

Brave example of speaking truth to power, or just a great fundraising stunt? Wikipedia will file a lawsuit against the NSA for its Internet data trawling, alleging that their surveillance intimidates users from fully participating in the site’s

Open thread: Semi-retired future president to hold "brief" press conference on e-mails; Update: 2:20 ET

Actually, given her age and how well she’s hidden herself from the press over the past six months, I probably should have said “mostly retired.” CNN says she’ll speak after delivering a speech at the UN at 1:30 ET but

Chris Matthews: This Republican Senate letter to Iran feels seditious to me

118 Comments
Via Newsbusters, the sedition/treason nonsense of the past 24 hours is just the logical conclusion to two years of left-wing buy-ins on Obama’s power grabs. If you’re willing to let him rewrite parts of ObamaCare to delay the employer

Traitors! Wreckers! Saboteurs! The Senate Republicans, consumed as they are with a personal and irrational hatred for the president, have elected to thwart the administration's glorious efforts to secure a nuclear deal with Iran and safeguard your
