Before the horses get too far away from the barn, this story has nothing to do with the 2016 election. Senator Tom Cotton (R – Arkansas) has gained considerable popularity among conservatives during his first term in the upper chamber, but

In 2011, the State Department sent and received over a billion e-mails, according to this NBC News report, an average of about 40 a day for its 69,000 total employees. How many did State, under Hillary Clinton’s leadership for the third year of her

The policies of appeasement currently being followed in Ferguson, Missouri have yet again produced tragic, yet wholly predictable results. Shortly after midnight, two police offers were shot while standing in front of the police station and monitoring

The circus is back in town. Hillary Rodham Clinton has not yet even announced that she is running for president, but the spectacle of the Clinton White House years is unfolding again, touched off by the controversy over her practice of using a private

Jeremy Clarkson is the outspoken and often politically incorrect BBC presenter of one of the most-watched shows in the world— “Top Gear.” During his tenure, Clarkson has frequently rankled the outrage brigades, particularly environmentalists

Yes, WaPo, it matters to the average taxpayer that the tax code is impossibly complex
3/11/2015 9:21:06 PM  Mary Katharine Ham

Complexity is a subsidy for those who can afford a really good accountant. It’s as simple as that. The Washington Post fact checker exposed her ignorance of this phenomenon today in a specious fact-check of Sen. Ted Cruz: We also wondered: Why

Video: Have you seen … Hillary Rodham Gump, y'all?
3/11/2015 8:41:02 PM  Ed Morrissey
53 Comments
Earlier today, IJ Review announced that they had discovered a long-lost parody made by Bill and Hillary Clinton in 1995, a nearly five-minute video that spoofed the film Forrest Gump. The video, originally made for the Gridiron Dinner that year, has

Lindsey Graham: As president, I will unleash the full might of the U.S. military upon Congress

In the unlikely event that Lindsey Graham becomes the 45th President of the United States, you can forget about pesky laws like the Posse Comitatus Act. In Graham's America, the work of the people will be done even if that work has to be compelled at

Rand Paul: I signed Tom Cotton's letter to strengthen Obama's hand against Iran

I … guess this makes sense? Paul’s got the same problem here as he has on most issues not related to cutting spending, trying to find a spot on the Venn diagram where libertarians and conservatives overlap. He signed Cotton’s letter,

Talk about bad luck… two fires destroyed Al Sharpton's tax records

Some people just can’t seem to catch a break. It’s been well documented that MSNBC Host and National Action Network front man Al Sharpton has had more problems with the IRS than the average man on the street. In fact, virtually every business

There’s yet another NBC-Wall Street Journal poll out this week which seeks to peer deep into the minds of the electorate and see precisely what they’re looking for in a new president next year. Much of it is the usual pablum you’d

Rand Paul wants a free Kurdistan, but is that the right course?
3/11/2015 5:21:41 PM  Noah Rothman
26 Comments
The United States has no better ally in the fight against the Islamic State than the Kurdish Peshmerga. But what do they get for their struggle and drawn blood when the ISIS tide has receded? Not much. For many, that's not an acceptable outcome of this

Sharyl Attkisson has bravely spoken out about her experiences with editorial bias at CBS News over the past couple of years, but … it wasn’t Attkisson who spoke to the Des Moines Register’s Courtney Crowder. This time the whistleblower

John Kerry: Tom Cotton's right, we're not negotiating a legally binding deal with Iran
3/11/2015 4:01:11 PM  Allahpundit
115 Comments
Via the Examiner, he’s not the only State Department official to admit this within the past 24 hours. Jen Psaki also acknowledged last night that a nuclear deal with Iran wouldn’t be legally binding, with good reason. The only way to give an

Here is a delicious clip so rich that it will necessitate a cognac just to digest. For a cable news channel host who spent the better part of the last 16 months handwringing over lane closures on the George Washington Bridge and indulging in fanciful

Clinton vs. Clinton: Bill's spokesman says he never e-mailed Hillary
3/11/2015 2:41:45 PM  Allahpundit
75 Comments
Her core reason yesterday for deleting personal e-mails and refusing to turn over her server is that there are/were private communications on there, including between her and Bill, and no one has a right to see those. Now here’s Bill himself saying

Turns out Andrew Cuomo was a lot more cozy with this lobbyist than he claimed

ProPublica has been doing some top notch work investigating the ongoing scandals plaguing New York Governor Mario Cuomo, and they continue that excellent job this week with a report on one of Cuomo’s lobbyist friends. Howard Glaser is a lobbyist

3/11/2015 1:21:42 PM  Noah Rothman

The Department of Justice might just want to revive its practice of monitoring the communications of Associated Press journalists after today. On Wednesday morning, the AP filed a lawsuit against the State Department for failing to provide access to

Video: Oh by the way, Hillary's top aides used private e-mail, too
3/11/2015 12:41:15 PM  Ed Morrissey

In her press conference yesterday, Hillary Clinton asserted that the vast majority of her e-mail had been retained by the State Department because most of it included other State employees as addressees. Therefore, the former Secretary of State claimed,

NY Governor is busy deleting thousands of emails

I find myself wondering if New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has a time machine hidden somewhere in the basement of the executive mansion. If so, he might have been looking a few months ahead one day last year and taking a peek at Hillary’s press

More than 140,000 as I write this, I should say. An hour ago, it was 136,000. At this rate, it’ll hit 200,000 by the end of the day. Ed touched on this in passing earlier but I think we should pause to savor the moment when more than 100,000

So … how did that press availability yesterday work out for Hillary Clinton? Judging by the reaction of the media and her fellow Democrats, she might have done better sticking with the Nixonian stonewall strategy. The New York Post had some fun
