This is a political earthquake (h/t @ErickErickson): South Carolina U.S. Senator Jim DeMint will replace Ed Feulner as president of the Heritage Foundation. Mr. DeMint will leave his post as South Carolina's junior senator in early January to take control of the Washington think tank, which...
A video published recently by the California Federation of Teachers and narrated by avowed-socialist Ed Asner gained attention because it showed "rich people" pissing on "poor people." But that is not the real vice of the video. The video is full of substantive lies, as explained brilliantly...
In February 2011, Roger Cohen of The NY Times demanded that we abandon the phrase "the Arab Street" as a relic of the past which no longer applied, even as crowds in Tunisia surged around a Synagogue shouting ""Jews, remember Khyabar, the army of Mohammed is returning"": Cohen further asserted...

'Deadly' clashes at Egypt presidential palace: Supporters of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi attacked opposition protesters...
