On June 6, 2010, I asked the question Can Israel Survive A Second Obama Term? This past week has seen the coming together of the growing Islamist-Leftist Coalition in the war against Israel. Leftists who, among other things, claim to believe in freedom of speech, women’s rights...

LATEST NEWS

Politico targeted Herman Cain in an almost unprecedented fashion, turning its homepage into all Herman Cain all the time for about two weeks. Politico can move and shape a story because of its high traffic (reportedly 60 million page views a month and 8-10 million "unique...

the skywriting plane was not available. From reader Cat, who emailed yesterday: Seen this afternoon in Publix parking lot, Sanford, FL, Hwy 46 Sweet! ...

What a day.  I'm going to try to stay away from Newt-Mitt-fest, but no guarantees: Egyptian Unity: "All parties can agree on dislike for Israel" 25 year contempt of court sentence upheld. Yeah, but there's a back story. Someone is surging among Hot Air readers (I voted, but I...

What did I tell you just this morning.  Mitt Romney needs to take on Newt face-to-face, mano a mano, to demonstrate that Mitt is not Tim Pawlenty, someone who can dish it out through surrogates or in television interviews, but not in person. This is a sign...

I noted about a year ago that I had moved away from Politico as a prime source of news because of it's anti-Palin, anti-Tea Party bias.  That bias has been confirmed by the shoddy reporting of the accusations against Herman Cain, and its current obsession...

From NRO to The Washington Examiner to the Romneyquest WaPo blogger, Newt's record is being picked over and criticized by Romney supporters as not sufficiently or consistently conservative. I'll save you the trouble of reading the critiques, as they can be summarized in one sentence the...

I take issue with Don Surber's recent piece, titled "Debates work.": The much-maligned mainstream media is doing its job and that is helping Republicans get their message out, while at the same time ridding the party of its losers quickly. Better to have a Rick Perry...

There was an unemployment report released this morning which showed the unemployment rate dropping to 8.6%. That's a big plus for Obama, even though the drop almost entirely is the result of people leaving the workforce, as Jame Pethokoukis notes: The mainstream media pays no attention to...

Tim Pawlenty was the candidate who was going to be the not-Romney candidate conservatives could rally around. A successful relatively conservative Governor of a blue state, someone who had managed well, had campaign organization, and could bridge the gap between the Tea Party and establishment wings...

What shocks me, though, is that a fan of Che Guevara attended the Democratic National Convention in Denver in 2008.  Quite unexpected. Thanks to reader Matt, who writes: Spotted this in the parking lot of my old neighborhood bar in uptown Denver. Couldn't help but start laughing....

A variety of things doing in the Stop Newt Express: The Romney campaign is going to use surrogates like Chris Christie to go after Newt: "Campaigning for the former Massachusetts governor in South Florida Thursday, Mr. Christie showed he may be the Romney attack dog." Isn't that part...

Good news out of San Francisco today:  A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that most bone marrow donors can be paid, overturning a decades-old law that made such compensation a crime. In its ruling Thursday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a technological breakthrough makes...

He's seeking Ginger White's phone records, and denying that the alleged trip to the Tyson-Holyfield fight (the one where Tyson bit his ear) ever took place.  Someone is lying, and we owe it to ourselves and the process to find out who. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A...

Michele Walk, who along with Kathleen helped me out on some social media things and who now works for Engage, links to an interesting post at Mashable about eye tracking of Facebook pages performed by EyeTrackShop Inc. Here's the image of what people see on a Facebook page:   I'm...

On November 26 I noted that Newt's line at an overflowing town hall in Florida, “I’m the comeback grandparent”, struck the right chord. First, it distinguished Newt's prior "when I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible" days from the person running for president. ...

That's Doug Mataconis pushing back against my post We know who lost Egypt and similar arguments by others. The push back misses the point.  Whether or not we could have controlled the situation -- and whether or not we should have tried -- the fact is that we...
