| Less than a week before the midterms, Obama backs off deportations of illegal immigrants 10/30/2014 10:01:42 AM Noah Rothman 13 Comments In a move that is surely related in no way to the fact that there is a national election next Tuesday which is not looking good for Democratic candidates across the country, President Barack Obama is reportedly considering scaling back deportations of More... Video: Doctor quarantined in California after return from Liberia 10/30/2014 9:21:46 AM Ed Morrissey 55 Comments California was not one of the states that initially imposed a quarantine rule on people traveling from Ebola-impacted countries, perhaps in part because none of its airports are normal destination points for those arriving in the US from western Africa. More... Science: Nobel Prize-winning doctor backs Christie's quarantine plan 10/30/2014 8:41:49 AM Noah Rothman 30 Comments This administration is fond of saying that its policy of opposing quarantining health care workers who may have come in contact with Ebola but embracing the internment of American soldiers in the same condition is based on "science." Administration More... The middle class can't afford to live in liberal cities 10/30/2014 8:01:24 AM Jazz Shaw 49 Comments This is a curious piece at the Atlantic by Derek Thompson which studies why the “income inequality” problem is so much more challenging in densely packed, liberal enclaves like San Francisco and Manhattan. That’s progressive-speak for More...
Quotes of the day 10/29/2014 10:31:31 PM Allahpundit 459 Comments Conservatives in Congress are drawing up their wish list for a Republican Senate, including "pure" bills, like a full repeal of Obamacare, border security and approval of the Keystone XL pipeline — unlikely to win over many Democrats and sure to torment More...

Because security. 10/29/2014 9:31:34 PM Mary Katharine Ham 62 Comments To go along with yesterday’s story about the public getting served good and hard, the tale of a friend who flew to Los Angeles with the temerity to wear a belt buckle that looks like a mid-century toy ray gun. This is, of course, a grave threat to More... Oh my: Plurality of Republicans think Mitt Romney should run for president 10/29/2014 9:01:39 PM Allahpundit 137 Comments Is it relevant that his favorable rating among the general public is 36/47? Or that 58 percent think he doesn’t care about their problems versus just 42 percent who think he does? Or that 52 percent believe he’d lose again to Hillary, with a More... Video: 10 hours of catcalls in New York 10/29/2014 8:31:35 PM Allahpundit 175 Comments Well, two minutes of catcalls over 10 hours. Still, you get the point — in America’s biggest city, a young woman is never without unwanted attention for very long. Most of this is boorish but seemingly benign, just loudmouths shouting More... Dems: It's going to be a bad cycle, and there's one reason why 10/29/2014 8:01:10 PM Ed Morrissey 70 Comments We’ve had an avalanche of polling this week that shows Republicans making major inroads on the midterm electorate, both on the national level and in state-by-state surveys. Polling, however, isn’t an exact science but more of an art of More... Russians mount 'large-scale' maneuvers over Europe, attack White House computers 10/29/2014 7:31:29 PM Noah Rothman 44 Comments Moscow apparently hopes that you haven't forgotten that they intend to pose a threat to Western stability. If you have, the Russians are making sure that they present the most menacing face to the West they possibly can in order to refresh your memory. More... How badly managed is the Red Cross? 10/29/2014 7:01:41 PM Jazz Shaw 30 Comments Back in July I wrote a piece which questioned how effectively the Red Cross was spending the massive amounts of money which generous donors send to them to perform their missions of mercy.

White House won't even investigate who made 'chickens***' comment about Netanyahu 10/29/2014 6:31:51 PM Noah Rothman 54 Comments It is fair to say that an unnamed administration official calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "aspergery" and a "chickens***," among other unflattering traits, has ignited a genuine diplomatic row. For the sake of public appearances, the More... Report: Immigration activists hearing that Obama will go small on executive amnesty 10/29/2014 6:01:21 PM Allahpundit 29 Comments Don’t get too excited. “Small” in this case means as many as three million illegals get legalized. Amnesty shills wanted that number to be eight million or more. Could be that this is just a pressure tactic, scaring Obama by threatening More... Nearly 1/4 of doctors may opt out of Obamacare exchanges in 2015 10/29/2014 5:31:23 PM Jazz Shaw 47 Comments Do you suppose any of the 2014 candidates will find time in the closing week to talk about Obamacare again, in the midst of all the other slow rolling disasters?

Yeah… never mind 10/29/2014 5:01:26 PM Jazz Shaw 85 Comments Sorry I missed this earlier in the week, given all of the rush hour traffic clogging the lanes between ISIS City and Ebolatown. We previously covered the now familiar tale of the Knapps at the Hitching Post in Idaho. For the short version of the recap, More...

Christie wants mandatory precautionary quarantines of health-care workers returning from the hot zone, so More... Terror warning: DHS steps up security at federal facilities 10/29/2014 4:01:12 PM Noah Rothman 20 Comments After officials in both Ottawa and New York City conceded, albeit belatedly, that the violence visited on those cities by "lone wolf" terrorist actors was inspired by Islamist militants overseas, the United States is today acknowledging that the More... Video: Touch-screen voting machines in Illinois lean Dem? 10/29/2014 3:31:30 PM Ed Morrissey 91 Comments Color me a bit skeptical, but there’s a bigger story in here anyway.

In Georgia, Democrats' last hope for preventing GOP takeover is collapsing 10/29/2014 2:01:40 PM Noah Rothman 83 Comments The polls this cycle have been cruel to Democrats. A number of surveys have given the president's party undue hope that they could pull off the impossible on Election Day and retain control of the U.S. Senate. But, like Lucy van Pelt ripping the set More... Dems lost grip on millennials in midterms, says new Harvard poll 10/29/2014 1:31:58 PM Ed Morrissey 61 Comments Who could have predicted this? I mean, wasn’t forcing younger Americans to buy expensive comprehensive health insurance they don’t need in order to subsidize premiums for older and sicker consumers exactly the kind of hope and change that More... Alaska group threatens to "out" non-voters 10/29/2014 1:01:54 PM Jazz Shaw 51 Comments Here’s an interesting strategy you probably never considered in any races in your home district: engage in non-vote shaming. That’s what one GOTV effort in Alaska claims to be up to in response to tepid turnout numbers in previous midterms. More... Obama shifting America away from Israel and toward Iran 10/29/2014 12:31:42 PM Noah Rothman 58 Comments This White House's relationship with Israel, and particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has always been strained, but it is fair to assume today that American relations with the West's closest ally in the Middle East are downright hostile.
