Special to WorldTribune.com By Thomas Sowell Pundits are pointing to President Barack Obama’s recent decline in public opinion polls, and saying that he may now become another “lame duck” president, unable to accomplish much during his final term in office. That has happened to other presidents. But it is extremely unlikely to happen to this […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Mark Levin, Oct. 25, 2008 I’ve been thinking this for a while so I might as well air it here. I honestly never thought we’d see such a thing in our country – not yet anyway – but I sense what’s occurring in this election is a recklessness and abandonment of rationality […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen A few questions for President Barack Obama. At your press conference, you said, “It is in our national security interest not to see an all-out civil war in Iraq.” If that is the case, why did you withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011? Were you motivated by […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen President Barack Obama has flouted the law again and again — unilaterally rewriting the health law at least 18 times since passage; changing immigration law by executive fiat (after having explained that to do so would be beyond the scope of his constitutional authority); dictating that union claims should […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Last weekend Barack Obama played his 175th and 176th rounds of golf as president. He played first at Sunnylands, the famously private course on the Rancho Mirage, California estate of the late billionaire Walter Annenberg.

That risked turning Iraq into […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen Considering how easy it would be for the Iranian regime to get everything it wants from the current administration, it’s a little startling to see the “supreme leader” brazenly poking his finger into the president’s eye. President Barack Obama’s fond hopes — nurtured since before his first inauguration — […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Matthew Continetti, Washington Free Beacon One evening in March, during a visit to Italy, President Obama asked the U.S. ambassador to round up a bunch of — and I quote — “interesting Italians” for a dinner at the ambassadorial residence. The history of the property, the Villa Taverna, goes as far back […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Michael Goodwin, New York Post If you think of the United States of America as a store, its recent decisions and scandals resemble a sale, perhaps a fire sale. Or maybe even a “Going Out of Business” sale. The list of dramatic markdowns is breathtaking. They include trading away five murderous terrorists […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen Though President Barack Obama’s first term was characterized by anemic economic growth, decreasing household income, prolonged joblessness, an unpopular health law, foreign policy blunders and bitter partisanship, the electorate seemed stubbornly unwilling to lay any of it at his feet. As late as July 2013, 35 percent of Americans […]
