Perry to Halperin: So you're all good with that Planned Parenthood video, eh?
7/17/2015 8:41:37 AM  Ed Morrissey
48 Comments
I’m not exactly sure where Mark Halperin thought he would take Rick Perry in this exchange, but he clearly didn’t expect Perry to lead him into this trap. On Morning Joe yesterday, Halperin challenged Perry to more or less endorse Planned

It’s not been a good week if you’re Planned Parenthood. First, your senior director of medical services is busted describing how you use illegal abortions to illegally harvest the organs of unborn babies. Then your PR company tells you to

To cleanse the palate. In an age when a consumer laptop can edit video and run fairly sophisticated FX programs, this shouldn’t impress me as much as it does. What can I say? I’m a simple man, my friends. How simple? It didn’t really

Hillary: I wrote to NASA as a kid about becoming an astronaut and they told me "no women allowed"

Hillary Clinton wouldn’t lie, would she? "When I was a little girl, I guess I was a teenager by then … 14, I think, and the space program was getting started, and I wanted to be an astronaut, and I wrote to NASA," she recounted. "And I said, 'What

79 Comments
Should we throw stones at the left for this? Yeah, c’mon. Let’s at least throw a couple. When it comes to the Confederate flag, however, 47% of Democrats support a ban while only 11% of Republicans feel the same. Only 36% of Democrats would

Media flashback: Clinton's nuclear deal with North Korea
7/16/2015 7:21:42 PM  Matt Vespa
21 Comments
Now that we have a "deal" with Iran, the Big Three–ABC, NBC, and CBS–centered on President Obama's "spirited defense" of what is shaping to be his signature foreign policy achievement; they also hailed it as “historic.” Thanks to our friends

ObamaCare: Still failing after all these years
7/16/2015 6:41:39 PM  Ed Morrissey

Before we get to ObamaCare, let’s recall the rationales for government imposing top-down control over one-sixth of the nation’s economy. First, we had to end the issue of the uninsured, which had spiked as a percentage of the population after

Planned Parenthood president: Hey, sorry about that doctor's tone when she talked about crushing babies and removing their organs
7/16/2015 5:21:38 PM  Allahpundit

The art of killing and dismemberment deserves better than some wine-soaked rambling about “crushing” above and below the chest cavity to preserve the heart, liver, and other vital organs. That’s an entirely too … accurate

Reminds me of those ESPN ads where a star athlete wanders the halls of network HQ in Bristol, although this is more than just a promo. It’s a smart play by BuzzFeed, which has enough reach with young adults that it could probably get any candidate

The hardest shot yet at Trump from a fellow candidate. "Donald Trump continues to demonstrate his fundamental misunderstanding of border security. Make no mistake – border security is a federal responsibility, but when I met with President Obama last

Actually, we do know, but it’s interesting to see David Sirota and Andrew Perez at International Business Times jump on this as well. Hillary Clinton ramped up the populist rhetoric by slamming the Obama administration over its failure to prosecute

If there are any votes left among tea-party border hawks that haven’t already migrated (temporarily) to Trump, this ought to shake them loose. To think, there are conservatives out there in America today who are convinced their party’s elder
