Video: During Counterterrorism Speech, Woman Heckles Obama For Agreeing With Her

Hugh Hewitt: The Pressing Need for a Special Prosecutor

Some of the journalists on the left have as their concern the salvaging of the Obama presidency before it enters into what would quickly become the longest second term in history, a prolonged drip, drip, drip of revelations and paralysis.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Michael Brown: Immorality is Trending

Gay activists love to point to the changes in public opinion regarding same-sex marriage, announcing triumphantly that this is a sign of moral and even spiritual advancement. In reality, it is part of a larger trend towards immorality, a sign of moral bankruptcy and spiritual apostasy.

Brian Birdnow: Rationale Shifts And Foreign Policy Failures

Once upon time, during the bad old days of the George W. Bush presidency, media sophisticates took the administration to task for the supposedly “shifting rationales” that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Co. employed to justify the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Cliff May: Black Swans, Icebergs and Benghazi

‘Humans are great at self-delusion,” the polymathic philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb has observed. I’m confident he’d agree that the humans who populate the foreign-policy community are no exception.

Simon Conway: London, a Deeper Horror Than We Might Think

The horrific scenes on a London street yesterday where Islamic terrorists butchered an unarmed soldier left me with more questions than answers. But maybe not the obvious ones.

Bob Kabel: Resolving to Get It Right

As a lifelong Republican and a member of the Republican National Committee (RNC), I am deeply concerned about the GOP’s image with all demographic groups in the wake of a crushing defeat in the 2012 elections—but I’m especially concerned with millennials: they are the future of our Party—and our country—and unless the Republican Party can attract their votes, we stand to lose a generation of supporters.

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.

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.

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.”)

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.

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.

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.
