There’s been plenty of coverage here and around the web of the utter collapse of credibility at Rolling Stone in the aftermath of the UVA rape hoax story, but with the pieces all falling into place it seems as if there will be little in the way of

Rand Paul, the Kentucky senator who declared himself a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday, is the most important candidate in the race. Not the best, not the most interesting, not the one who is most likely to win. No, he is

Tomorrow is the 150th anniversary of the defeat of the Confederacy in the civil war. (Or, the War of Northern Aggression, as I say when I want to annoy some of my more liberal friends.) It’s an important moment in American history which summons up

Marie Harf dismisses Kissinger, Schultz's Iran deal criticism as merely 'big words'
4/8/2015 8:41:25 PM  Noah Rothman
87 Comments
It was referenced in an earlier post, but a Wall Street Journal op-ed authored by former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz is an absolute must-read dissection of the tentative nuclear framework with Iran and its implications. The

Chait: Columbia review missed the most important issue in Rolling Stone debacle
4/8/2015 8:01:25 PM  Ed Morrissey

The investigators at Columbia Journalism School offered plenty of discussion about confirmation bias in their post-mortem on the Rolling Stone scandal, both in their report and in the presser the next day discussing it. They missed another kind of bias,

As Allahpundit observed, the tentative framework of a prospective agreement that would ostensibly limit Iran's ability to develop a nuclear bomb in exchange for total sanctions relief is progressing precisely as its critics insisted it would. On

When Rand Paul announced his “official” candidacy for the presidency this week he sparked a number of debates, not only in the media and among his opponents, but inside the GOP. One of the less noticed ones revolved around a comment he made

Four years ago, when Nancy Pelosi lost the House majority in the first midterm elections of the Barack Obama presidency, few would have dared say this aloud. Even after a second straight midterm debacle, the resistance to another session of Congress with

The deal was struck on April 2nd. Via Michael Rubin, here’s the first glaring evidence that Iran doesn’t intend to comply with the west’s most important demand, comprehensive inspections of all nuclear facilities. It took six days for

I have no idea how an answer like this plays among the electorate generally — maybe it’ll be seen as evasive — but among righties on Twitter, who are high-fiving over it as I write this, it’s spun gold. Via Dave Weigel, skip to

Perhaps nothing could better expose the moral and intellectual vacuity of a popular militant strain of modern feminism than some of its members' support for the Stalinist open air prison calling itself North Korea. According to a shocking report via

Sometimes it pays to go first. Ted Cruz jumped into the official presidential race first among serious contenders, eschewing the usual “exploratory committee” route to go directly into campaign mode. The gamble appears to have worked, as

Maybe Rand Paul’s not such a longshot after all. This poll was conducted after the deal was announced so the results are, in theory, a referendum on the specific terms. Emphasis on “in theory”: I doubt one voter in a hundred could
