Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen The Ben Rhodes memo revealing the duplicity of this administration on the subject of Benghazi reminds us about the character of those involved. That President Barack Obama could lie so evenly and so passionately (remember the second presidential debate?) is not perhaps surprising at this stage. But let’s not […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen Remember poverty? It was once a chief preoccupation of the Democratic Party. Lyndon Johnson made war on it. An entire ecosystem of federal, state and local programs has been created over the course of the past half-century to combat it, costing taxpayers more than $1 trillion annually. Yet the […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Mark Levin went after NRO writer Patrick Brennan for taking cheap shots at Sarah Palin over her NRA speech this weekend. “Here’s what you don’t understand pal,” Levin said to Brennan, who referred to Palin as “no longer a serious political contender.” “She’s the most sought after endorsement around, period, in Republican […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Michelle Malkin The Obama administration doesn’t have watchdogs. It has whitewash puppies. The president’s Chicago bullies have de-fanged true advocates for integrity in government in D.C. from day one. So the latest report by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Operations Committee on corruptocrat Charles K. Edwards, the former Department of […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen Just because your opponent is hurling baseless or even ridiculous charges does not mean that you are free to disregard them. You may think it’s absurd to argue that you are engaged in a “war on women.” But contempt for the accusation is not enough. Some strategists suggest (they […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Thomas Sowell The “war on women” political slogan is in fact a war against common sense.

It would certainly be discrimination […]

Totalitarianism is written into the left’s DNA. Krauthammer wrote about a left-wing petition “bearing more than 110,000 signatures delivered to the [Washington] Post demanding a ban on any article questioning […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen The screeching polarization of American political and cultural life in recent years is exacting a toll. Debate has been debased. Contempt and hatred for those with opposing views is now the norm. While some on the right have criticized their own side — think of Rick Perry and Jeb […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Richard Nixon died 20 years ago on April 22, 1994, days after suffering a stroke. The man at the center of Watergate was far different from the way he was portrayed by the press, reveals Monica Crowley, who worked closely with him as his foreign policy assistant for the last four years […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Michelle Malkin I have created a new species designation for the female Democrats who play hypocritical gender politics on behalf of Barack Obama. They’re genderhawks. You remember the term “chickenhawk,” don’t you? During the Bush years, anti-war activists and journalists hurled the ad hominem epithet at anyone who supported military action […]
