It's hard to believe the media narrative about Palin ever could change. But it could change among the less crazed. MSNBC always will be foaming at the mouth, but others would have a hard time keeping up the hate. Update:  To readers complaining about how Bachmann was...

One of the usual anti-Scott Walker suspects hanging outside the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison didn't like the fact that Ann Althouse was filming the moonbats tooting their horns, so he decided to try to grab the camera from her, grabbed her as well, and...

No surprise here.  Jewish students at the University of California, Berkeley, have filed a lawsuit (h/t) claiming that university officials have failed to protect Jewish students from harassment and intimidation by anti-Israeli groups: A pattern of harassment and physical assaults by members of two Muslim student groups...

James Taranto has a post The Great Deflation (via Instapundit) in which he writes that: Like a leaky balloon, Barack Obama keeps getting smaller. Taranto compares Obama's lofty rhetoric during the 2008 campaign, when he grandly proclaimed that "this was the moment when the rise of the...

... BROKE. Thanks to reader and photographer William who took this photo in Austin, TX, and writes: I ran into another rare bumper sticker here in the great liberal city of Austin, Texas. It appears the liberals are starting to run scared, and the conservatives are bravely stepping...

or pretty close to the beginning of the blogosphere, there was Instapundit, which just celebrated its 10th birthday. Here's the story: ...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker appeared on the Morning Joe show this morning, and was fabulous.  He completely disarmed Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough. Walker made the case for the success of what Republicans have done so far, and Wisconsin's improving economic fortunes. Walker also hit on a topic...

This is the big case involving 26 states.  In January, Judge Roger Vinson struck the entire law finding that the mandate could not be severed from the rest of the law. The 11th Circuit ruled that the mandate was unconstitutional, but unlike Judge Vinson, did not throw...

Yes, the economy is the dominant political issue right now, particularly the unemployment and real unemployment numbers. Naturally, the economy has been the focus of various Republican primary campaigns, while issues like Obamacare and the direction of the country have become secondary. It may now be the economy, but it...

While Obama has announced his opposition to a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, the administration's efforts to convince other countries to follow suit have been underwhelming at best. Lost in the chaos of budget negotiations, downgrades, war tragedies and stock market crashlets was the news...

Obama once again is moving hard on the class warfare, and there is every signal that setting up a fight between the "rich" and "not rich" is the Democratic campaign theme for 2012. Obama keeps claiming the "rich" do not pay their fair share, but the...

I only watched bits and pieces of last night's debate, and I've seen some replays. I know I should have watched more of it, so I could give you my always insightful, prescient and probing analysis.  But when I tuned in, I tuned out. My sense from...

I've discussed several times  Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm which heavily spins poll results. PPP has a split personality; some of its polls are straight up and in actual elections it seems to do as well as many other polling organizations.   But PPP also engages in messaging...

"ENOUGH" That single word says it all.  Not sure if we need to put "2012" after it. Thanks to reader Joseph to who took this photo in Jacksonville, Florida. ...

There is a devastating article at The Jewish Weekly by a former NY Times reporter Ari Goldman, who was on the scene as a primary source reporter for The Times during the Crown Heights riots in New York City in 1991. Al Sharpton sought to take advantage...

Politico recently reported that Obama's campaign strategy was to attack and take down Mitt Romney with class warfare and attacks on Romney's integrity. Sure enough, Romney was heckled in Iowa in what obviously was a set up by people trying to create sound bites about Social...

Michelle Malkin reports: Inspired by President Obama’s “Sputnik moment” speech back in January, the government-sponsored Smithsonian Institute has launched a new blog called“Department of Innovation”...
