If you missed much of the testimony of outgoing, acting, IRS Commissioner Steven Miller before a House committee on Friday, then you didn't see one of the most infuriating performances by an ostensibly public servant in recent history. Miller, who will leave his post two weeks early cannot be trusted with a hot dog cart, […]
This morning's "Morning Jolt" e-newsletter written by National Review's Jim Geraghty has some discussion of the Obama administration scandal du jour that the IRS targeted conservative groups with "Tea Party" and "Patriot" in their names for extra harrassment scrutiny when filing for tax-exempt status. We don't yet know who exactly knew what and when. There's no evidence […]
Earlier today, three whistleblowers testified before a House committee investigating security decisions made prior to the Benghazi attack, the attack itself, the Obama administration's response to the attack and charges of a cover-up.

I thought that my contempt for the so-called elite media couldn’t get any greater, but reading/listening to David Freddoso’s new book, “Spin Masters” has managed to do it.

For those of you without the intestinal fortitude to read the entire grand jury report on what they found a Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s clinic, The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto dug out a bit of history from the report that makes you wonder why this guy wasn’t drummed out of the medical profession four […]
One of the big problems with 24-hour cable news is the need to fill 24-hours, or at least 18 hours of it. When something like yesterday's despicable terror attack at the Boston Marathon occurs, while many people are at their best rushing to aid the injured, the media is often at its worst. It took […]
The American left’s formulation not two decades ago was that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare.” As our culture has “progressed,” they first dropped the “rare.” The end of that public posturing was made apparent when the liberal clergy like Katherine Hancock Ragsdale preached from the pulpit that “abortion is a blessing.” It's 2013 […]
When California was considering Proposition 8 which amended the California constitution to make the definition of marriage what it always was—the union of a man and a woman—gay marriage advocates responded with the “No H8” campaign featuring something called Hollywood luminaries with “No H8” written on their cheeks and their mouths covered with duct tape.
