There’s no one more repentant and eager to promise reform than the town drunk coming off a week at the bottom of a bottle. Some of “the top political reporters in the country,” as they think of themselves, will be soon looking for similar redemption.
President Obama might sandbag Israel in pursuit of something Palestinian leadership rejects — peace with the Jewish state. The blow reportedly may fall in the interregnum between the Nov. 8 election and the Jan. 20 inauguration of the next president.
Some proponents of the current open borders policy also claim to be defenders of women’s rights. It is, therefore, supremely ironic that one unintended consequence of open borders is a substantial spike in sex trafficking of young girls. That’s the major takeaway of a trip to South Texas earlier this month.
While Democrats perpetually circle the wagons, Republicans engage a perpetual circular firing squad. The same holds true for many evangelicals. Democrats and secularists count on it.

Where are the Bushes during this election cycle? Why have they apparently been silent, and whom does their silence benefit? Let's remember which party they belonged to when they ran and got elected.

Students of the Watergate era (or those old enough to have lived through it) will recall the "dirty tricks" played by Richard Nixon's henchmen, most notably Donald Segretti.

In the modern history of American politics has there ever been a bigger hypocrite than Hillary Clinton? Her 30 years in politics has taught us clearly that Hillary lives by one set of rules and wants to impose different rules for everyone else.
Lawyers are expensive, especially when citizens fight the federal government. That is why, in 1980, Congress passed the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), which authorizes those who prevail in litigation against the federal government to collect attorney's fees and expenses, that is, unless federal lawyers were "substantially justified," in bringing and litigating the case. Sadly, a Wyoming federal district court recently turned the EAJA on its head.
Two Democratic Party campaign operatives lost their jobs last Tuesday after being caught red-handed on video describing how to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies and how to commit massive voter fraud.
"Fates and Traitors," Jennifer Chiaverini's new historical novel, starts on a high note: "A sound in the darkness outside the barn -- a furtive whisper, the careless snap of a dry twig underfoot -- woke him from a fitful doze ... There ... quick footfalls, and, more distantly, the jingle of spurs."
"Secretary Clinton, I want to explore how far you believe the right to abortion goes," asked Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, moderator for the third and final presidential debate. "You have been quoted as saying that the fetus has no constitutional rights. You also voted against a ban on late-term, partial-birth abortions. Why?"
