Interesting theory from Steve Kates at the Catallaxy Files ("Australia's leading libertarian and centre-right blog") that Obama does not want to run against Romney and that exciting the religious base in the Republican Party decreases Romney's chances. I'm not sure I agree with what amounts to a double-manipulation...

Dick Morris appeared on Hannity  last night  (h/t @TheAnchoress) and made a connection between the January New Hampshire debate and Obama rolling out the contraception issue: If only I had thought of that earlier in the day and pushed the issue into the media with the help of...

The City of Providence, in my home State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is in dire financial trouble, as I have posted here many times before. The City, with its large tax-exempt university base and decades-long history of lush public sector benefits, has struggled under...

The latest installment of The Daily Caller's exposé on Media Matters concerns an e-mail regarding an action plan against Fox News which included hiring private investigators to go after Fox News executives, lawfare, and other acts of disruption: A little after 1 p.m. on Sept. 29, 2009,...

Yesterday, the editors of National Review called on Newt to drop out of the race in favor of Santorum: When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse...

"Global Minimum Tax' -- of course we can, that way businesses not only can't flee to other states, they can't flee to other countries! "He's a lying SOB" or maybe he just tells people one thing in private and another thing in public. "Don't actually write that...
