It would be a genuine challenge to identify a more obsequious group of water-carriers for the Obama agenda than the (hilariously inept) “explanatory journalism” team at Vox. One of their ongoing projects is “Voxplaining” to

Vermont to lose 3.4% of manufacturing jobs to EPA regs
2/25/2015 8:01:53 PM  Jazz Shaw

When you think of the downstream effects of the Obama administration’s EPA regulations, the first states which come to mind tend to be in coal country and what remains of the rust belt and manufacturing centers. That’s all true enough, but it

If a respected reporter like Robert Costa can see fit to take this seriously, so can a hack like yours truly. I figured Trump wouldn’t enter the discussion until we nominated him and Romney at the inevitable brokered GOP convention. In recent days,

Just amplifying a point made yesterday by Ace and today by Sean Davis. Forget about whether Scott Walker thinks Obama’s a Christian or even the more basic question, contra Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Bill Maher, of whether Obama

Five months ago, I joined many observing that Hillary Clinton's cautious approach to the 2016 election cycle had resulted in a campaign devoid of any substance or excitement. "Everywhere Hillary Clinton goes, a thousand cameras follow. Then she opens

BBC Poll: 27 percent of British Muslims sympathize with Charlie Hebdo attackers

Inside the Beltway, the focus of the political press is primarily devoted to splits within the Republican Party over the abject implosion of their strategy to forestall the implementation of the president's executive orders on immigration via funding for

Via John Fund, the partisan split is predictable. What’s striking is how divided independents are. If you imagine indies as a roughly even mishmash of left-leaning and right-leaning centrists (and maybe you shouldn’t imagine them that way, as

House conservatives: Boehner's Speakership is in danger if he caves on DHS/amnesty like McConnell did

Another empty threat or the last straw? This is noteworthy, I think, not so much because there’s a legit prospect of mutiny as because it shows what a total strategic clusterfark the whole cromnibus/DHS/amnesty fiasco has been. Not only are
