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.

Hugh Hewitt: The Real Reporting on the IRS

Carol Platt Liebau and Eliana Johnson aren't exactly Woodward and Bernstein --yet.

John Stossel: Sublet My People Go

My kids moved out! I have two empty rooms in my apartment. Maybe I can rent them? A tourist visiting New York City could have a different experience, and save hotel money. I'd make money. Wouldn't it be great?

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.

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: The Senate Does the Bullying for the IRS

The Senate Mensheviks have raked Apple Computer over the coals on its practice of keeping tons and tons of money offshore. This is money that the Mensheviks sorely need, so they can squander it on things that won’t make life better for anyone outside of K Street.

Jonah Goldberg: Obama's 'Idiot' Defense

Although there's still a great deal to be learned about the scandals and controversies swirling around the White House like so many ominous dorsal fins in the surf, the nature of President Obama's bind is becoming clear.

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.

Michael Medved: GOP Shouldn’t Use “The ‘I’ Word”

As new revelations underscore the administration's epic incompetence in its handling of the Benghazi disaster and IRS abuses, some Republican voices in the House and Senate, along with pundits of every persuasion, have begun to speculate about "the I word" — impeachment.

Dave Ramsey: Dave Says Say No to Mom

I really don’t feel this is a job-move issue. I think you guys just need to establish some fair and reasonable emotional distance between yourselves and your family.

Mike Shedlock: Giving Up on Gold

People have thrown in the towel on gold in favor of momentum trading in stocks. It seems nearly everyone is a momentum trader now, one of the consequences of inept central bank bubble-blowing policy.

Ransom Notes Radio: Asking For an Audit, Tea Party Protests the IRS

Political affiliations aside, everyone should be worried about the IRS scandal. John touched base with a tea-party activist, and talked about the impropriety on display at the IRS. Also: John McCain grilled the CEO of Apple over their tax “avoidance” practices. (Because the problem couldn’t possibly be the tax code, it is obviously Apple’s adherence to the law.)

Terry Jeffrey: The Genius of Jerry Garcia

I was sitting in a classroom in McCosh Hall at Princeton University one spring day in the late 1970s, when I learned something that helped me understand the artistic genius of Jerry Garcia.

Daniel J. Mitchell: Four Reasons to Applaud Apple’s Tax Planning

In 2011, China had a gross domestic product of $7.3 trillion dollars, second only to America's $15 trillion GDP output -- at least according to official data.

Paul Greenberg: The Growing Case For Life

The jurisprudence of Her Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, may be only mediocre at best, but her candor deserves the highest praise. Every few years she'll pull back the judicial curtain and tell the rest of us what she thinks is really going on at the court. And shock anybody who can still be shocked at the court's motivations.

Donald Lambro: Time for a Special Prosecutor to Investigate Obama's IRS Coverup

It should be clear by now that the Obama White House has been engaged in another coverup that cries out for the enactment of a special prosecutor. The sooner the better.

Rich Galen: It Wasn't Malaria

Bob Beauprez: Restoring Freedom, Saving the Republic

We're living in a time when freedom is again being assaulted. Not just by foreign threats, but by an increasingly tyrannical central government.

Jacob Sullum: Advice and Consent Is Not Optional

Ed Meese, Ronald Reagan's attorney general, spoke for many Republicans when he called President Obama's 2012 appointment of four federal officials without Senate approval "a breathtaking violation of the separation of powers." But according to a recent federal appeals court decision, abuses like Obama's have been a bipartisan practice in recent decades, with Republicans, including Meese's former boss, more sinning than sinned against.

Charles Payne: When There is Too Much Cash

Part of the problem is that there is no harmony. It would be so much easier if the economy was generating 300,000 jobs a month, factories were being built, and the Fed didn't feel obligated to pump in $85.0 billion a month.

Susan Stamper Brown: Truth Floats Despite Tyranny on the Potomac

Progressivism thrives best when truth is suppressed, but suppressed truth is still truth. You can try to sink it, shred it, cover it and destroy it, but truth eventually rises to the surface. Truth floats. Always.

There are at the moment a number of exaggerated, even breathless comparisons between President Obama's Benghazi/IRS/Associated Press controversies and President Nixon's Watergate scandal in 1973.

Ralph Benko: Rand Paul, Cato Institute, and The Libertarian Moment

Time Magazine recently featured Sen. Rand Paul as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He was not just on the list. Time placed Paul on its cover for the first, (though likely not for the last time). This may signal the emergence of the Libertarian Moment.

Michael Norton: Gosnell Found Guilty, But Where is Planned Parenthood’s Verdict?

Guilty as charged. That was a Philadelphia jury’s verdict against abortionist Kermit Gosnell for multiple murders of babies in his Pennsylvania abortion facility. The jury also convicted Gosnell of hundreds of lesser criminal offenses. To avoid the death penalty, Gosnell agreed to serve the rest of his life in prison. This sordid chapter in the battle for the life on the unborn child is now over.

Ken Connor: Resisting the Tide of Secularism

What we're seeing today is a secular liberalism that wants to expand the prohibition of establishment to silence articulate religious voices and disenfranchise religiously motivated voters, and at the same time to narrow the scope of free exercise so that the new secular morality can reign over American society unimpeded.

An all too familiar scene was enacted on the campus of Swarthmore College during a meeting on May 4th to discuss demands by student activists for the college to divest itself of its investments in companies that dealt in fossil fuels.

John Hawkins: 7 Liberal Fascists Who Are Fine With Using the IRS to Target Political Enemies

One of the most disturbing things about the IRS targeting Obama's political enemies for persecution is that many liberals seem to be perfectly fine with illegitimately using the power of government to hurt their political enemies.
