Just hours after the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, where four Americans were killed, Hillary Clinton sent an email to her daughter Chelsea stating that the attack had been carried out by an “Al Queda-like group.” Patricia Smith, mother of Sam Smith, one of the four Americans killed the night of the […]
A Formula for Widespread Dissatisfaction
On 20 January 2017, will our nation be facing a new president with almost no mandate? Each of the factions now running a presidential campaign—Clinton, Sanders, Trump, Cruz, Rubio—is not just about personality or style, writes Jim Geraghty in NRO. “Within the parties, primary voters are choosing among extremely different visions and policy ideas.

The Nanny State—Protecting Us from Ourselves
“Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” (Ronald Reagan) The quote from President Reagan is worth remembering the next time a politician promises to get a law passed because it is for our own good, writes Cato Institute’s Michael […]
We’re the Government and We’re Here to Help
Here’s how government fixes income inequality using taxpayer money.

Hillary Clinton—Queen of Lies—Skirts, Deflects, Blames
Watch Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio) rip into Mrs. Clinton for blaming Benghazi on a “disgusting video.” What is really disgusting, writes The Federalist, is that Clinton lied not only to the American people, but also to the grieving families of the four men killed in the Benghazi attack.
Unprotected Republicans and Donald Trump
A not-so-funny thing is happening on the way to the White House. As Republican elites twist themselves into knots over Donald Trump, somehow Mr. Trump has fostered a big rise from Republican primary voters. “Trump is a convulsion.

Hillary—Now Against Charter Schools
Originally posted November 13, 2015. “Most charter schools,” Mrs. Clinton said, “they don’t take the hardest-to-teach kids, or, if they do, they don’t keep them.” But as the NY Post writes, her claim is “utterly false — and right out of the union playbook.” Charters choose students by lottery.
