Ann Coulter:
When Did We Vote to Become Mexico?
At first I thought the IRS scandal was leaked to distract from the Benghazi scandal. But that didn't make sense because the IRS scandal is a more obvious abuse of power than the White House lying about the murder of four Americans in Libya.
Hugh Hewitt:
The Real Reporting on the IRS
Carol Platt Liebau and Eliana Johnson aren't exactly Woodward and Bernstein --yet.
Jackie Gingrich Cushman:
Thanks and Devotion This Memorial Day
If you were to suddenly appear this weekend at the numerous barbecues or pool parties, without any knowledge of our nation's history, it might be hard to understand the real meaning of Memorial Day.
Victor Davis Hanson:
Paranoid or Prescient?
Government is now so huge, powerful and callous that citizens risk becoming proverbial serfs without the freedoms guaranteed by the Founders.
Brent Bozell:
Obama and 'Overreach'
As the Obama scandals surround the White House, some conservatives are suggesting that -- finally -- the media are "getting tough" on Obama. Don't count on it. All our modern experience suggests tough reporting on a Democratic president is more of a temporary sensation than an ongoing trend.
John Ransom:
Impeaching Holder is a Good First Start
They don’t just make one mistake; they make a series of mistakes, they obfuscate, then lie, then lie about the lie… and then it’s time to cue up a two-week Obama vacation or for Hillary to bang her head accidentally and be unavailable for comment.
Michael Barone:
Low-skilled Worked Get Raw Deal Under Obamacare
Would you like to have a "skinny" health insurance policy? Probably not. But if you're employed by a large company, you may get one, thanks to Obamacare.
Larry Elder:
Obama's Scandals -- and His Media Co-Conspirators
How does President Barack Obama, a man of such keen intelligence, with such promise to "change" America, find himself in so much serious trouble?
Bob Barr:
Obama Scandals To Haunt Democrats As Marley’s Ghost Spooked Scrooge
If Richard Nixon were alive today, he would likely be fielding midnight phone calls from Barack Obama. Not since Richard Nixon was driven from office by the Watergate scandal four decades ago, has the American public been privy to such an unfolding spectacle of scandal and corruption in a presidential administration.
Michael Reagan:
Weathering the Polticians
Yesterday I read an interesting article in Newsweek about the connection between tornadoes and climate change.
Cal Thomas:
The President's Morehouse Address
President Obama gave two commencement addresses in one to graduates of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., last weekend. It would be easy for this conservative to critique the political and social elements of his speech. Instead, I choose to focus on the inspirational part.
Mike Shedlock:
Bernanke's Semi-Annual Tap-Dance of Distortions, Half-truths, Lies, and Hypocrisy
Inquiring minds with extra time on their hands this morning are plodding through the Full Transcript of Bernanke's Testimony To Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress looking for the usual collection of half-truths, distortions, and outright lies it usually contains.
Ransom Notes Radio:
McCain is the Problem with Apple's Tax Rate
Big corporations don’t care about the tax rate, but Politicians sure care. Why doesn’t someone explain to John McCain that HE is part of the tax problem in this country. . . Not Apple. John Ransom also spoke with Erika Holzer about her newest novel, Freedom Bridge. It is more relevant in today’s world than you would think.
Debra J. Saunders:
Newsom Turns a New Leaf on Marijuana
California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom likes to be out front on issues. As San Francisco mayor, he approved same-sex marriages in City Hall even though they weren't legal. He pushed for a first-of-its-kind ban on city pharmacies selling cigarettes. Likewise, he signed the Special City's first-in-the-nation ban on groceries giving away plastic bags.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
Rand Paul Debunks the Shameful Demagoguery against Apple
Wow. I thought I hit on the key issues in my post on the anti-Apple demagoguery, but Senator Paul hit the ball out of the park.
Night Watch:
North Korea Engages in Piracy
This is another of the many annoyances with which the Chinese and South Koreans cope. In many of its external economic transactions, North Korea acts as a rogue and criminal enterprise.
David Harsanyi:
Obama May Survive, but Scandals a Blow to Left
For all the complaining the left has done about those shadowy outside political groups subverting the democratic process, we recently learned that no one has the means to undercut freedom of expression quite like an enthusiastic government agency.
Matt Towery:
When the Messenger Gets Shot, Others Are Sure to Follow
In the world of White House politics and the politics of handling the White House press corps, the president's press secretary is the most visible target and often the first to fall when the media turns on an administration.
Paul Greenberg:
The Old Lady in Black
The most vivid memories aren't those carved in stone but the ones etched in the mind. Memory deepens with the years, the way a river carves through rock, slowly creating canyons, revealing old layers, unveiling pain you'd kept decently covered before, bringing it all back. Sometimes the river cannot be contained and will overflow its banks.
Rich Galen:
It Wasn't Malaria
If you are going to spend much time in Africa, you will be taking anti-malaria pills. A common medication has the brand name Malarone.
Steve Chapman:
A Sober Approach to Drunk Driving
In its new report on how to reduce drunk-driving deaths, the National Transportation Safety Board states its goal in the title: "Reaching Zero." The agency thinks it is irreproachable to try to ensure that no one ever dies in an alcohol-related accident.
Emmett Tyrrell:
The Beauty of Confusion
Where are we now in this morass of Obama administration scandals? We have the Associated Press imbroglio.
Charles Payne:
Tim Cook Explains Luck of the Irish
Washington DC was a busy place yesterday with the IRS scandal moving to the Senate while Tim Cook was under the microscope for saving money on taxes but not breaking laws. Apparently, Apple uses a subsidiary in Ireland that doesn’t have to pay taxes to that nation because it’s managed from outside and doesn’t have to pay taxes to America because it’s not an American company.
Carrie Schwab Pomerantz:
Baby on the Way: Are You Ready for Your New Financial Reality?
Even though you'll have your hands full with the new baby, there are some administrative things you should take care of right away.
Bill Tatro:
Pleading the Fifth to Save Obama
It would appear the underlings are all falling in line in order to protect the commander-in-chief. In fact, I’m quite sure that if Obama was asked about the Associated Press phone hacking situation, which has quietly slipped away from the front pages of the newspaper; he would definitely pull a Sergeant Schultz (“I know nothing.”)
Bob Goldman:
Fired Up
Considering that the steady decline in your productivity and the sudden spike in your snarky attitude did not result in the firing you so richly deserve, it's clear that if you want a position where you don't have to work at all, you will need to work a lot harder.
Marvin Olasky:
Real Commencement
Campus stalwart has spent decades helping students see beyond the shadowlands.
Doug Napier:
Lesson for Us Iowans: Reluctance to Go the Full Distance Has Consequences
For years, Iowa law relied on a rather reasonable bit of biological reality: it takes a man and a woman to make a baby. From that fact, the state reasoned that for questions of paternity, the answer would involve someone commonly called a “father.” So when the state recorded births as a matter of public record, it (rather logically) looked for a man as the non-birth parent.
Thomas Sowell:
Undoing the Brainwashing
This time of year, as college students return home for the summer, many parents may notice how many politically correct ideas they have acquired on campus. Some of those parents may wonder how they can undo some of the brainwashing that has become so common in what are supposed to be institutions of higher learning.
Michelle Malkin:
The Obama Crony in Charge of your Medical Records
Who is Judy Faulkner? Chances are, you don't know her -- but her politically connected, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company may very well know you. Top Obama donor and billionaire Faulkner is founder and CEO of Epic Systems, which will soon store almost half of all Americans' health information.
Walter E. Williams:
We Are the Idiots
Dr. Henry Miller, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Gregory Conko, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in their Forbes article "Rachel Carson's Deadly Fantasies" (9/5/2012), wrote that her 1962 book, Silent Spring, led to a world ban on DDT use.
