Someone is wrong on the internet – and the CBS affiliate in Dallas spent two minutes of air time on their 6 pm news broadcast covering it. A woman in Dallas wrote a Facebook post saying that a woman should not be President, and it got quite a few

It may be as soon as today when the Iran Bill finishes its journey through the Senate and comes to a vote. If enacted, the bill will give Congress the right to review any agreement with Iran made by John Kerry and the White House and either approve or

Fair warning: If you haven't had your coffee yet, do not watch this clip. It will ruin your day. Hillary Clinton's contrived and ostensibly incognito van trip from New York to Iowa made an impromptu stop at an Ohio Chipotle on Monday, and the punditry

18 Comments
Deval Patrick might have made a run for the presidency in 2016. A two-term governor of Massachusetts, Patrick could have chosen to challenge Hillary Clinton, and would have threatened to eclipse her among progressives. Instead, Patrick has taken a pass

Sen. Marco Rubio is gambling that 2016 is his moment… "He's putting all his chips in, but I like this play," said Craig Robinson, the former head of the Iowa Republican Party. "The field has front-runners, but they're weak front-runners. If one of

Hillary went unrecognized at an Ohio Chipotle today and I don't know what it means
4/13/2015 10:01:34 PM  Mary Katharine Ham

Help me. Hillary Clinton, whose greatest qualification for president is perhaps that she is a) a woman who b) everyone knows, walked into a Chipotle in Maumee, Ohio today and went unrecognized. She was on her way to Iowa in her Van of Populism on her

For those unfamiliar with the term, “free-range” parenting is what used to be known as “parenting.” The idea is to free your children from the overprotective hovering of the modern helicopter parent and let them explore their

4/13/2015 8:41:44 PM  Noah Rothman

Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't target Iowa as the site for its first official voter outreach events for nothing. Speaking to reporters with The New York Times, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook noted that Team Hillary expects that, not only will

Rand Paul on gay marriage: "People ought to be treated fairly under the law"

My headline makes it sound like he’s endorsing legalizing SSM but he’s not doing that. Or is he? He sort of is, actually — he wants marriage, or “marriage,” to be a matter of purely private contract for gay couples, which

Marco Rubio chose a key setting to make his presidential announcement on Monday. Flanked by Miami's Freedom Tower, the junior senator from the Sunshine State chose this location to highlight his South Florida roots and his Cuban-American heritage. This

Ron Paul on Iran letter signed by Rand: The Senators who signed it are "out to stop peace"
4/13/2015 6:41:38 PM  Allahpundit

If Ron Paul weren’t Ron Paul, I’d assume this denunciation was just a stunt orchestrated by him and Rand to put some foreign-policy distance between them before the primaries. Are you a mainstream conservative worried that President Rand

Oh, those cruel, Maine Republicans
4/13/2015 6:01:17 PM  Jazz Shaw

I’m guessing that somebody at the New York Times got bored waiting for Hillary’s YouTube video to drop and figured they’d better find a story about nasty, cruel Republicans crushing the poor and disadvantages before the filing deadline

Independent political observers have issued a verdict Hillary Clinton's second presidential campaign's roll-out, and the reviews are not especially flattering. While Clinton's low-key van trip across the country was dubbed innovative (it isn’t),

Paul: Hillary didn't answer the 3 AM call on Benghazi
4/13/2015 3:21:48 PM  Ed Morrissey

In one sense, Hillary Clinton’s announcement — such as it was — has not changed the dynamics of the 2016 race. Earlier in the day, Republicans continued attacking Clinton as they have for weeks and months, since the only surprise behind

The nation's most embarrassing editorial board humiliates itself once again

If you're in the market for overwrought hyperbole designed to overcompensate for a lack of substance, The New York Times has you covered. The Times editorial board is many things, but cutting edge arbiters of cultural phenomena is not one of them. Take,

Invisible hand, or incompetent? Politico’s Ken Vogel calls it Chelsea Clinton’s “invisible hand,” a rather amusing and ironic reference to Adam Smith’s argument about the power of markets. When one considers the list of

Politics makes for strange bedfellows, but it creates even more interesting enemies. The press loves to talk about the power struggles which seem to constantly rage inside the GOP, where conservatives battle it out with the party establishment, but the

"Uniquely qualified": Marco Rubio tells donors he's running for president
4/13/2015 12:41:44 PM  Allahpundit

He really is unique. Who else in the field combines John McCain’s questionable foreign policy and immigration instincts with Barack Obama’s youthful lack of experience? Sorry, sorry. I know it’s his big day. I’ll be nice. U.S.

The press is beginning to notice the economic recovery is stalling
4/13/2015 12:01:55 PM  Noah Rothman

Maybe the worst thing that could happen to the president and his party would be for the economic recovery from the 2008 financial crisis to stall out. But that's exactly what might be happening. Last week, the president told town hall participants in

If you liked the first eight years of Hopenchange, imagine how much more you’ll like it with a deeply corrupt, zero-charisma politician in charge. No, seriously, this is the smart move strategically. Rather than run from Mr. Obama, she intends to
