White House, U.N. develop plan to prevent Iran deal 'sabotage' by the GOP
3/13/2015 10:01:26 AM  Noah Rothman
21 Comments
The deal that would ostensibly forestall Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon is not even done yet, but the world is already skinning those carrots that have been dangled in front of the Islamic Republic for years. This week, 47 GOP senators

WaPo: Gallup data shows Hillary favorability plummeting
3/13/2015 8:41:39 AM  Ed Morrissey
53 Comments
Plummeting from a great height to be sure, Philip Bump acknowledges, but definitely going in the wrong direction — fast. The initial read off of yesterday’s Gallup poll shows Hillary Clinton in good shape against the rest of the field, albeit

This particular debate has been going on for quite a while and apparently it’s not going away. There are hearings in the works going forward regarding plans largely supported by Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R – Utah) to pass a bill which is

Time for a huge food fight over whether this photo is disrespectful to the flag

To cleanse the palate. When I saw the photo, I assumed the “controversy” was between conservatives who found it touching and anti-war liberals/libertarians who found it ominously nationalistic. (“It’s a metaphor for how

Nancy Pelosi insists meeting with murderous Syrian dictator nothing like GOP's Iran letter
3/12/2015 8:01:39 PM  Noah Rothman

For being completely unprecedented, it seems like lawmakers going around the White House in order to influence foreign governments sure happen a lot. A letter to the Islamic Republic of Iran reminding the Mullahs (and the White House) of the Senate's

New theory: That Republican letter to Iran might not have been treasonous but it was certainly racist
3/12/2015 7:21:27 PM  Allahpundit

A fine example of “MacGuffinization” by the left, as Sally Kohn reduces a high-stakes struggle between Obama and the GOP over separation of powers and the future of detente with Iran to white guys from the other party not respecting a black

White House can't believe what a terrible campaigner Hillary is
3/12/2015 6:41:11 PM  Noah Rothman
48 Comments
You would think that the first clue for President Barack Obama and his advisors as to Hillary Clinton's lackluster skills as a political campaigner would have first become evident in 2008 when they soundly defeated her in the race for the Democratic

Before we get to the candidate primary, let’s start with the issue questions. The first issue question about Right to Work went about as expected: But it’s the results of the second and third issue questions — questions that were

America's top problem? Government
3/12/2015 5:21:52 PM  Ed Morrissey

What does America see as the biggest problem facing the nation? It’s not terrorism, foreign policy, or race relations — and it’s not even the economy. That comes in a distant second to the government itself, which has topped the list

Good news: America's 'boots on the ground' in Iraq committing war crimes

The conundrum President Barack Obama faced when he reluctantly came to the conclusion that the United States would not be able to avoid confronting the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was how to combat this fundamentalist militia

State Department: Oh, by the way, Hillary used a private Blackberry too, not a secure government-issued one; Update: No one read Hillary's e-mails before deletion?

Via the Free Beacon, maybe she figured that since foreign hackers were already reading her e-mails through her private server, there was no point in locking down her Blackberry either. Two words for Boehner and the House GOP: Preemptive impeachment. I

Purge: Liberals go to war with far-left authoritarians
3/12/2015 3:21:45 PM  Noah Rothman

The vogue impulse on the far-left to police both thought and speech, and to enforce standards of discourse with the threat of political and social ostracism, is perhaps no more intemperate than on American college campuses. There, it is not hard to find

Barbara Boxer: Let's face it, Republicans are going after Hillary because she's exciting the public

Via Newsbusters, the funniest version yet of Democrats’ “who gives a sh*t?” e-mail spin. If there’s any word to describe a new national campaign by a corrupt, droning near-septuagenarian whose policies are seen by a clear majority

Professional journalism crashing… Columbia to shrink J-school

Traditional media has been on a downward slide for some time now, with cutbacks taking place in newsrooms at papers, magazines and cable television outlets. This makes for a tighter job market for those following the traditional J-school path and that

Say, how is Clinton nostalgia working out for Democrats these days? Some of them may long for the days when Clintonian freeloading meant stealing furniture from the White House. That amounted to chump change compared to the millions received by the

"Too big to fail": NYT, WaPo note Dems stuck with Hillary for 2016
3/12/2015 12:41:06 PM  Ed Morrissey

The “too big to fail” quote is a nice touch from the New York Times’ Nicholas Confessore, Jonathan Martin, and Maggie Haberman, but they’re not the only people realizing that Hillary Clinton needs a bailout. The Washington

Maybe more than at any point in her life, even during her 2008 bid for the White House, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's past and associations are coming under intense scrutiny in mainstream press outlets. From her potentially unsecure,

GOP insiders have a fee-vah and the only prescription is more … Marco Rubio?

Tasty buzz from Eliana Johnson but I wonder how much of it is real and how much is just skullduggery from rival camps talking up the threat from Rubio to try to spook Team Jeb and Team Scott. In fact, maybe Team Jeb and Team Scott are themselves quietly

Who could have seen this coming? Practically everyone outside the Obama administration, that’s who, but these days it would have been a Logan Act violation to mention it.  Saudi Arabia has cut a deal with South Korea to develop two nuclear reactors
