I warned you not to pay $5 for the latest Obama dinner raffle, Warning on $5 Obama dinner raffle.  Based on past performance, as the quarterly reporting date approached, Obama would drop the price. And sure enough, a reader forwarded me an e-mail with the $3 offer...

I listened to Mahmoud Abbas's delusional speech at the U.N., perpetuating the Palestinians as exclusive victims narrative. I'm listening to Benjamin Netanyahu now, a model of clarity on the threats to peace.  I'll hope to post the videos later. For now, it's open time. On the table not...

Last night I arrived in New York where I'll stay for the weekend. I had a late dinner with some friends in Gramercy and saw a huge motorcade that, presumably, held some foreign dignitary. The best part of my night came on my ride home. I...

My initial reaction last night was that Rick Perry did not have a good night. My reaction this morning is that he had a disastrous night, possibly ending his chances of getting the nomination unless he gets his act together real soon.  I say "possibly" because it...

More from reader "Joe's" recent road trip. Also snapped this pic of the back of a car on the Blue Ridge Parkway on my way home. I got a kick out of the image of the dog howling "obama". The one sticker asks, "What are you grateful...

I already have debate fatigue. But will soldier on. Not "live blogging" but insightful and inciteful analysis at appropriate points. Comments are welcome and encouraged.

Clemons lays out the fiction that the Palestinian strategic move to take land without peace is something Gandhi-like: Obama's position on this is dangerous in...

Via HotAir, Mitt Romney has scored two significant conservative endorsements recently, Jeff Flake and Darrel Issa.  While that may not constitute a coalescing around Romney, it does help insulate him from RINO charges.  Whatever he once was, is he now the conservative who can win? What's up...

The Weekly Standard reports:   Note the logo, which depicts "Palestine" as all of Israel. The root of the conflict is not that Israel currently controls the West Bank.  The root of the conflict is that the Palestinians and their allies are still unwilling to accept that Israel...
