Good times, good times. The discovery of tens of thousands of e-mails from Lois Lerner, the central figure More... Republican power brokers think Scott Walker just isn't ready. Do they have a point? 2/27/2015 9:21:51 AM Noah Rothman 130 Comments The first instinct of many upon reading this headline will be to dismiss it. Presumably, "Republican powerbrokers" can be understood to mean Jeb Bush's stable of handwringers for whom nothing is more frightening than an outspoken conservative who governs More... SCOTUS to hear congressional redistricting case on Monday 2/27/2015 8:41:40 AM Jazz Shaw 33 Comments Next week the Supreme Court will hear a case coming out of Arizona which everyone should be paying attention to, since it will have repercussions which affect virtually everyone in the nation.

Judicial Watch FOIA: State knew Ansar al-Sharia claimed Benghazi attack in first hours 2/27/2015 8:01:16 AM Ed Morrissey 53 Comments What did Hillary Clinton know about the Benghazi attack, and when did she know it?

Quotes of the day 2/26/2015 10:01:08 PM Allahpundit 418 Comments Bush will return to the conservative gathering Friday as one of his party's leading possible presidential candidates — but one who still needs to find the right way to connect with the conservative activists who have not joined establishment donors in an More... Video: Inhofe throws snowball in Senate to demonstrate impact of climate change 2/26/2015 9:21:47 PM Ed Morrissey 78 Comments Which is to say, there hasn’t been any. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) recently took the gavel in the Environment and Public Works Committee from Barbara Boxer, and Inhofe has relished playing the role of climate-change skeptic even more than he did More... CPAC Interview: Rep. Marsha Blackburn on ObamaCare, Net Neutrality 2/26/2015 8:41:36 PM Ed Morrissey 55 Comments Earlier today, I spoke with Rep.

The media seems eager to declare CPAC to be Rubio's "last chance" 2/26/2015 7:21:32 PM Jazz Shaw 63 Comments I’ll confess that Marco Rubio hasn’t exactly been burning up the track in the latest polling. He’s taken a few positions which have seen some of his stalwart supporters jumping ship over the past twelve months or more and there are More... Video: Barbarians gonna barbarian 2/26/2015 6:41:35 PM Allahpundit 115 Comments A reminder that outfits that operate their own einsatzgruppen tend to be into book-burning and statue-smashing too. Isis militants have reportedly ransacked Mosul library, burning over a hundred thousand rare manuscripts and documents spanning centuries More... Army investigated Medal of Honor recipient … over an Amazon book comment 2/26/2015 6:01:58 PM Ed Morrissey 39 Comments If you think no one takes Amazon book reviews seriously, rest assured that the US Army certainly does.

The GOP's remarkable foreign policy advantage 2/26/2015 5:21:55 PM Noah Rothman 31 Comments When Americans are asked what they define to be the nation's most pressing security challenges, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (and Egypt, and Yemen, and Libya, etc.) is perhaps foremost on their minds. But the threat posed by ISIS is a near-term More... Boehner's new plan to resolve the DHS/amnesty standoff: Making kissy noises at reporters 2/26/2015 4:41:04 PM Allahpundit 120 Comments Weird, but also the most coherent approach from a Republican leader on this issue thus far this year. Actually there are three plans being considered by the House. One: Cave now by passing a clean DHS funding bill. Two: Cave next week, after DHS has shut More... Laura Ingraham confronts Chris Christie on his limited appeal to conservatives 2/26/2015 4:01:41 PM Noah Rothman 43 Comments Not long ago, New Jersey Gov.

Cruz accused Clinton of being “on More... Republican sources tell BuzzFeed: Jeb Bush may be "evolving" on gay marriage 2/26/2015 2:41:20 PM Allahpundit 235 Comments So clever of BuzzFeed to drop this today, with Bush set to sit down with Sean Hannity onstage at CPAC in 24 hours for Q&A. Think this story might come up? Think it’ll be talked about tonight at the local bars among conservatives already More...

Many More... Senate Judiciary Committee votes to confirm Loretta Lynch as AG — thanks to three Republicans 2/26/2015 1:21:17 PM Allahpundit 145 Comments Because the GOP has a majority in the Senate, it also has a majority on all Senate committees — 12 to 9 in the case of the Judiciary Committee. But since Lynch’s confirmation has become a referendum on executive amnesty and the GOP is riddled More... John Boehner's exit strategy 2/26/2015 12:41:17 PM Jazz Shaw 112 Comments AP already made a very persuasive case as to how much of a headache John Boehner has to deal with regarding DHS funding. With his Senate partner Mitch McConnell putting on every appearance of getting ready to cave to Harry Reid, the Speaker is going to More... Scott Walker talks over the heads of the media to denounce them 2/26/2015 12:01:45 PM Noah Rothman 54 Comments In a simple and rather elegant opinion piece published in Thursday's USA Today, Scott Walker addressed the aggressive treatment he has received in the press that coincided with his rising fortunes in polls of Republican presidential voters. Walker has More... Mike Lee at CPAC: Beware of "unserious" presidential candidates spouting conservative platitudes 2/26/2015 11:21:02 AM Allahpundit 168 Comments Via Raw Story, the buzziest line from the morning session of opening day, received tepidly by an audience that’s there precisely because they want to spend a few days gorging on ideological red meat. This is like standing up in a crowded steakhouse More... Something fishy at the Supreme Court 2/26/2015 10:41:18 AM Jazz Shaw 136 Comments Providing yet more proof that the Justices on the Supreme Court can’t agree on anything, a ruling was handed down this week over a government fishing expedition.
