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.

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 ... MOREGeorge 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), ... MOREBoehner Hands Ryan A Defeat On The Way Out The Door
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 ... MOREAndrew Napollitano: A Midwife To Chaos And Her Perjury
A confirmed liar asks for your vote. The New York Times' Maureen Dowd captured the moment last weekend when she referred to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "the midwife to chaos" in Libya. Dowd apparently came to that conclusion after watching Clinton bobbing and weaving and admitting and denying as she was confronted with ... MOREWomen Have Suffered More Under Obama Policies
by Stephen Moore. Now that Hillary Clinton has, by default, sewn up the Democratic nomination, expect Democrats to play the gender card for all its worth. In August, Clinton lashed out at the GOP field: "extreme views on women, we expect from some of the terrorist groups ... but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: Can California Be Saved?
So naturally rich but so poorly run. Crime is back up in California. Los Angeles reported a 20.6 percent
increase in violent crimes over the first half of 2015 and nearly an 11
percent increase in property crimes.
Last year, cash-strapped California taxpayers voted for Proposition 47,
which so far has let thousands of convicted criminals go free ... MORE
Stephen Moore: Winning the Debt-Limit Fight
Putting the brakes on exploding debt. During his eight years in office, Barack Obama is on pace to have increased the national debt by a horrific $8 trillion — and, ironically, the folks on Wall Street and the mavens of the media still portray congressional Republicans as the fiscal bad boys for trying to slow down the blizzard of borrowing. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Undefined Words Are A Big Plus In Politics
Charlatans work the hot buttons. At the recent televised debate among candidates for the Democrats' nomination for president, Hillary Clinton declared that "the wealthy pay too little" in taxes and "the middle class pays too much." Some people might wish to argue about whether that is true or not, but no rational argument can be made on either ... MOREHillary Knows Civil Liberties And Executive-Power Abuse Only Matters When Republicans Run The White House
by Matt Welch. Hillary Clinton is nothing if not responsive to the changing winds of
Democratic Party opinion. As CNN's Anderson Cooper succinctly put it to
her in the very first question of last week's Democratic presidential debate,
"You were against same-sex marriage. Now you're for it. You defended
President Obama's immigration policies. ... MORE
Poll: Gun Control Far Scarier Than ‘Mass Shootings’
by Awr Hawkins. On October 13, Chapman University released its Survey of American Fears and revealed that more than twice as many Americans fear gun control than fear “mass shootings.” While those on the left may scratch their heads to wonder how this could be, the facts are that gun control leads to gun-free zones, which, in turn, appear ...

Harry 'The Victim' Reid Sues Manufacturer Of Elastic Band Because It Slipped Out Of His Hand And He Hurt Himself
Bad things are always someone else's fault. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has decided to sue the makers of the exercise band that he says caused an injury that left him blind in his right eye. The top Democrat and his wife Landra Gould are suing the companies that produce TheraBand for $50,000, according to a legal complaint, dug up ... MORE
Evidence Suggests Most Americans Are Really Embracing Big Government Paternalism Over Individual Liberty
by Jerry Taylor. The Founders weep while King George smiles. The libertarian moment in American politics—foretold just last year in the New York Times magazine—is like the horizon; always retreating as we advance upon it. The political events of 2015 are a brutal reminder about how far this country is from embracing libertarianism and how alien ... MOREIs Obamacare Officially A Money Laundering Scheme?
by Mytheos Holt. Could the failed Obamacare exchanges have been merely an excuse to direct payola to safely Democratic states? Based on a new report from the Government Accountability Office, and the actions of acting head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Studies (CMS) Andrew Slavitt, the answer may well be yes. Let’s start with the report. ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Only Obama Will Shut Down Gov't
Never accept their premise. Government shutdowns are not cancer and today I’ll show why we must stop taking the bait. Indeed, I’ll show why we will lose elections if we are unwilling to shut down the government in order to protect human life and reform immigration policy. CNN’s Dana Bash did not speak much during last week’s ... MOREHillary Clinton's CNN Interview: 9 Questions, 0 Answers
by Tom S. Elliott. Watch the video montage. This past Thursday, Wolf Blitzer managed to score a 14-minute interview with Hillary Clinton, during which he was free to wrest as many answers from the press-shy candidate as he could. The number of answers she actually gave? Zero. Hillary bobbed, weaved, ducked, dodged, and ultimately avoided ... MOREWhy You Should Care About The Hillary Chronicles
by Andrew Napolitano. America's criminal candidate. The bad news has continued to cascade onto the Hillary Clinton for President campaign, and none of it has anything to do with Clinton's opinions on issues. It all is about her fitness for office. Since Labor Day, we have learned that the folks into whose hands Clinton reposed her computer server for ... MORE
