Fast And Furious Court Victory For Judicial Watch
by Tom Fitton. Government's gun-running op. This is an important story about Judicial Watch’s complicated and
complex investigation into the Obama administration’s deadly Operation
Fast and Furious scandal. And this is one story that should be shared
far and wide. Earlier this week Judicial Watch was pleased to
announce that we scored a victory ... MORE

The ... MORE
John W. Whitehead: The People Vs The Police State
The struggle for justice in the Supreme Court. The untimely death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has predictably created a political firestorm. Republicans and Democrats, eager to take advantage of an opening on

How The Politics Of The Next Nomination Will Play Out
by Tom Goldstein. Excellent analysis! This post substantially revises and supersedes my earlier one
on how the political parties will likely approach the Scalia vacancy,
in which I had concluded that Ninth Circuit Judge Paul Watford was the
most likely nominee. On reflection, I think that Attorney General
Loretta Lynch is more likely. I also ... MORE

Obama May Be Ensnared In The Clinton Email Scandal
by Jonathan F. Keller. Perhaps President Obama’s involvement is the reason that the FBI has not yet referred charges to the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case. It may be metastasizing so quickly and so dangerously that not only are agents and lawyers within the agency having trouble keeping up with new evidence of wrongdoing, but that ... MORE

Obama Lied, And The Debt Ceiling Died
an Investor's Business Daily editorial. Transparency: What do you call it when an administration blatantly lies to the public to get its way in a debt ceiling fight, then covers it up for two years?

Wall Street Journal: American Tax Dollars For The Mullahs
Tehran gets more cash while its U.S. victims get nothing. Ali Khamenei congratulated Iran’s diplomats on Tuesday for making the “front of arrogance and bullying”—that would be the U.S.—retreat. Iran’s Supreme Leader has good reason to be happy. Having preserved the core of his nuclear capabilities, his regime is now on the receiving ... MORE

Donald Trump and the insight of Eric Hoffer.

Glenn Greenwald: U.S. Radically Changes Its Story Of The Boats In Iranian Waters To An Even More Suspicious One
Government's first instinct is to lie. When news first broke of the detention of two U.S. ships in Iranian territorial waters, the U.S. media — aside from depicting it as an act of Iranian aggression
— uncritically cited the U.S. government’s explanation for what
happened. One of the boats, we were told, experienced “mechanical
failure” and thus ... MORE
Capitalism: The Worst System -- Except For All The Rest
by Noel S. Williams. The only capital democrat presidential candidates respect is political capital wrought from pandering. Newsflash: capitalism is still the best system for organizing economic life in a free society. Liberals talk about the anger of the right, but Clinton, the very embodiment of ugliness and anger, could barely bring herself ... MORE
A Dispiriting Final Speech From An Out Of Touch President
A Washington Examiner editorial. What makes for a credible public voice? A key ingredient is truth.
