A deeper look at politics and race. Much is made of the fact that liberals and conservatives see racial issues differently, which they do. But these differences have too often been seen as simply those on the right being racist and those on the left not. You can cherry-pick the evidence to reach that conclusion. But you can also cherry-pick the evidence ... MORE
by John Hinderaker. The findings of NPR and Harvard. National Public Radio collaborated with Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to survey Americans’ recent experience with health care. As to the Affordable Care Act, the survey’s findings are damning. They suggest that Obamacare has been ... MORE
The indictment of the nominee. Surely, Hillary Clinton hopes for the happy conclusion to the maddening string of primaries and caucuses that have exhausted her. Surely, she hopes to be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party this year. And surely, she hopes to be elected president. These hopes are realistic probabilities in her own ... MORE
He has neither the power to act or inspire. President Obama is boxed in a state of paralysis—more so than typical lame-duck presidents. His
hard-left politics have insidiously eroded the Democratic Party, which
has lost both houses of Congress and the vast majority of the state
legislatures, state elected offices, and governorships. ... MORE
Politicians exploiting the ignorant. Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, along with President Obama, say they want high-income earners, otherwise known as the rich, to pay their fair share of income taxes. None of these people, as well as the uninformed in the media and our campus intellectual elites, will say precisely ... MORE
Serving scare tactics to black folks. Amid all the media analyses of the prospects of each of the candidates in both political parties, there is remarkably little discussion of the validity — or lack of validity — of the arguments these candidates are using. It is as if what matters this election year is the fate of a relative handful of people — currently seven ... MORE
Why Democrats hate voter ID. Several well-funded organizations — including the League of Women Voters and the NAACP — are fighting efforts to prevent non-citizens from voting illegally in the upcoming presidential election. And the United States Department of Justice, under the direction of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, is helping ... MORE
A little good news for libertarians. With the South Carolina primaries and Nevada caucuses in plain view, there seems little to no question that 2016's key interlopers, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are still a problem for their respective "parties" (I use scare quotes because neither of them is really a member of either group). This reality ... MORE
The same Constitutional contempt as their predecessors. Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders seek to claim the "progressive" mantle. Both claim the other is not a true progressive. Clinton teased Sanders as being the "self-proclaimed gatekeeper for progressivism." Bernie Sanders said that Hillary ... MORE
What are the lovers of liberty to do? What if all the remaining presidential candidates really want the
same things? What if they all offer essentially the same ideas couched
in different words? What if these primary races have become beauty
pageants largely based on personality and advertising? What if our system of governance is so deep ... MORE
by Glenn Reynolds. When Americans have more faith in the military than the political class, democracy is in trouble. According to a recent Associated Press poll, the public lacks confidence in government. And by “lacks confidence,” I mean “really lacks confidence.” Specifically, “More than 6 in 10 respondents expressed only slight confidence — or ... MORE
by Sylvia Van Peebles. Of all the things one could think of that New York City needs more of, public urination doesn't immediately come to mind. But New York's City Council,
which is so far left it almost collides with the right, is about to
make it happen thanks to it's Speaker, a Puerto Rican nationalist who
supports terrorists and rejects the ... MORE
by NY Post Editorial Board. It’s easy to see why some feel numbed by the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal. Damning new “shoes” are dropping . . . well, fast and furious, to cite yet another administration outrage (see below). Fox News, which last week disclosed that messages on Clinton’s private server went beyond even Top Secret classification, ... MORE
Sunshines shines on Clinton Foundation. The FBI has expanded its investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a
private email server during her time as secretary of State to determine
whether her Clinton Foundation work violated public corruption laws, according to Fox News. The report is based on accounts by three unnamed sources. "The
agents are ... MORE
