If Hillary Clinton is hoping to fire up the excitement of the far Left base, this certainly isn’t going to score her any points. The BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanction) against Israel and in support of the Palestinians is a huge thing

It’s a safe bet that Hot Air readers aren’t ready for Eric Holder to take a seat on the Supreme Court. Perhaps surprisingly, Eric Holder agrees, although almost certainly not for the same reasons. His demurral may seem a little surprising,

For years, Bill Cosby’s attorneys have tried to keep depositions sealed from an earlier legal action regarding his sexual activities, and now we know why. The Associated Press got their hands on a 2005 deposition in which the one-time king of

It will likely surprise no one here that a story of international import with which social justice warriors took the most serious umbrage, hounding a Nobel-prize-winning 72-year-old scientist out of several honorary and employment positions, turned out

"True Detective" grumble thread: Blogger not sure he can take another week of this

I’ve watched 67 episodes of “The Walking Dead” with no serious prospect of quitting yet I find the thought of another week of Farrell, McAdams, Kitsch, and Vaughn looking weary and not doing much of anything almost too much to bear.

NYT: Gee, there are more intact families living in red counties
7/6/2015 8:01:46 PM  Matt Vespa
30 Comments
To circle back on my previous post about the blue and red state models regarding families, there are positives and negatives to each model. Blue state families–for lack of a better term–are usually better educated, which leads to greater financial

Chris Christie: No, I won't promise to undo Obama's nuclear deal with Iran

Here’s Christie’s whole campaign in a nutshell: He really is telling it like it is here, and not just in terms of what he’ll do as president but what the rest of the field will do too, but I can’t understand what he thinks

Across social media, there have been memes, blog posts, and articles about how the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges should be applied to national reciprocity regarding concealed carry permits. The day national reciprocity for

Obama on ISIS: "Ideologies are not defeated with guns, they are defeated by better ideas"
7/6/2015 6:01:41 PM  Allahpundit
203 Comments
Via RCP, bear in mind that one of the can’t-miss ideas recently floated by a former Obama administration advisor is that gay marriage might defeat ISIS. This is the sort of thing you say when you’re trying to break it to people that victory

Say… do you remember British astrophysicist Matt Taylor? He was the guy who helped perform the amazing feat of landing a probe on a comet. Well… it was amazing until people realized he was wearing a shirt with some hot Dungeons & Dragons

Scarborough flips out: Why are these GOP candidates so damned gloomy about America's prospects?
7/6/2015 4:01:49 PM  Allahpundit
59 Comments
The key bit comes at 2:20. The Free Beacon is celebrating this for Scarborough’s beastmode pro-American rant but that rant is in service to an odd knock on GOP candidates. Why is the party of Reagan seemingly so bearish about America these days, he

With so many protests going on these days it’s hard to keep track of them all, say nothing of cover every one that happens. But a story crossed the transom today which I believe provides a look at how murky the entire Social Justice Warrior

Illegal deported five times who shot woman: I came back to San Francisco because it was a sanctuary city

A horrifying lesson in incentives for which there’s plenty of blame to go around. Blame for San Francisco, of course, because it’s a sanctuary city where local PD won’t ask residents about their immigration status. Blame for ICE, who

Via the Examiner, count me in with John Nolte and Sean Davis in wondering why this grand humiliation is being treated as a Hillary scandal instead of a media scandal. Clinton advance aides create a rope line for the press, moving with the candidate
