by David A. Graham. Amid all the scandals related to the Clinton family, Bill Clinton’s sex
scandals were supposed to be a dead letter. After all, the former
president weathered impeachment proceedings in the late 1990s—in fact,
Hillary Clinton’s popularity soared at the time. As those events
receded, Bill Clinton became one of the most popular ... MORE

Americans Are Abandoning Political Parties
by Kenneth Walsh. Both major political parties are in trouble with the American people. The latest Gallup Poll finds that loyalty to the Democrats and Republicans
is at or near historic lows. In 2015, for the fifth straight year, "at
least four in 10 U.S. adults identified as political independents," a
Gallup spokesman said. Forty-two percent said they were ... MORE

Betting odds at ElectionBettingOdds.com are the best predictor of who will win any election. Pundits have a terrible track record.

Thomas Sowell: Showman-In-Chief
The king of blather takes the stage again. Those who have been marveling at Donald Trump's political showmanship were given a reminder of who is the top showman of them all, when President Barack Obama went on television to make a pitch for his unilateral actions to restrict gun sales and make a more general case for tighter gun control laws. ...

2015 Gun Politics: Murders With Guns Are Used To Drive Gun Policy, Even Though Gun Policy Can't Prevent Them
by Brian Doherty. The politics of guns in 2015 was largely shaped by a series of
newsmaking horrible multiple-casualty murders in public places. Each one
inspired Democratic Party politicians, including President Obama and frontrunning 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,
to call for a similar set of what they now call “common sense gun
safety” ... MORE
The Sudden But Well-Deserved Fall Of Rahm Emanuel
by Rick Perlstein. It’s hard to remember a time when Rahm Emanuel wasn’t a Democratic Party superstar. Go back to 1991, when the thirty-two-year-old took over fund-raising for Bill Clinton. He was soon renowned for making the staff come to work on Sundays, shrieking into the phone to donors things like “Five thousand dollars is an insult! You’re a ... MORE
The Democrats’ Theme For 2016 Is Totalitarianism
by Kevin D. Williamson. At the beginning of December, Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodell asked Secretary of State John Kerry whether Charles and David Koch, two libertarian political activists, should be considered — his remarkable words — “an enemy of the state.” He posed the same question about Exxon, and John Kerry, who could have been ...

“Democratic Socialism” Means The Loss of Liberty
by Richard M. Ebeling. Democratic Party hopeful, Bernie Sanders, recently outlined what it means for him to be a “democratic socialist.” The problem is that the same label might be applied to most of the other candidates running in both the Democratic and Republican parties running to be the nominee for presidency of the United States. One ... MORE
Ted Abram: Big Government Caters To Crony Capitalism
Playing favorites. In the Democrat presidential debate, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT), an avowed socialist from Vermont, alluded to crony capitalism. “I'm running for president because as I go around this nation I talk to a lot of people. And what I hear is people concerned that the economy we have is a rigged economy.” In the Republican ... MORE

NY Post: ObamaCare’s Imploding Even Without Repeal
Maybe the politicos should have read the bill. It’s looking like ObamaCare won’t survive even if Congress can’t manage to repeal it. The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group, said last week that it’s losing too much — $425 million — from policies sold on the health exchanges, and may have to pull out by 2017. The company ... MORE

Democrat's Propaganda Battling The Motivated Voter
by Barry Farber. There’s one battleground where the Democrats are walloping the body fluids out of the Republicans. It’s fitting nobody talks about it because that battlefield is beyond obscure. In fact, few know it exists! It can be summed up in one word Americans never got the hang of in the first place. The word is “propaganda”! Americans tend to ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: The Mistress of Deception
Don't trust that tongue, even if it's notarized. The self-inflicted wounds of Hillary Rodham Clinton just keep manifesting themselves. She has two serious issues that have arisen in the past week; one is political and the other is legal. Both have deception at their root. Her political problem is one of credibility. We know from her emails that ... MORE
A. Barton Hinkle: The Parties Turn It Up To 11
GOP moving rightward, while Dems move leftward. "Look, I imagine that there's theoretically a chance that [we] all went from being radical extremist crazies to Washington sellouts in 12 hours," South Carolina Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney said the other day. "But maybe a more likely narrative is that we really think that this is a good ... MORE
George Will: Supreme Court Picks Will Be Critical
Slowing the rate of tyranny. A supremely important presidential issue is being generally neglected because Democrats have nothing interesting to say about it and Republicans differ among themselves about it. Four Supreme Court justices are into the fourth quarters of their potential centuries — Stephen Breyer (77), Antonin Scalia (79), ... MORE

by David Harsanyi. Grass-roots conservatives have many unrealistic expectations and political objectives. And then sometimes they have a good point. The new budget deal arranged by John Boehner and Democrats— approving
$50 billion of additional spending in 2016 and $30 billion in 2017—will
be split between domestic discretionary ... MORE
