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.

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 Wes Pruden Portland, Ore., is a nice place to live. Nothing much happens there, and that’s its charm. Oregon is perhaps the most politically correct of the 50 states, shading even Massachusetts, and Reservoir 5 of the Portland water system is a monument to the work of the weenie bureaucrat. … […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Thomas Sowell Liberals advocate many wonderful things. In fact, I suspect that most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world envisioned by liberals, rather than in the kind of world envisioned by conservatives.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Thomas Sowell The “war on women” political slogan is in fact a war against common sense. It is a statistical fraud when Barack Obama and other politicians say that women earn only 77 percent of what men earn — and that this is because of discrimination.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Dennis Prager In his column last week, Charles Krauthammer crossed a line. He declared the American Left totalitarian. He is correct. Totalitarianism is written into the left’s DNA.
