In what has to be one of the more shocking and disturbing stories I’ve read in a while, KOMO News is reporting that a Seattle school, Ballard High School, set up a 15-year-old student’s abortion during school hours without notifying the parent. The mother, who found out after the fact, was quite understandably furious.... »

Surprise. Here’s another campaign promise that RealClearPolitics has unearthed that Obama has conveniently forgotten about. Forward to the 1:00 mark or so of the below video and watch Obama announce to a cheering, adulating crowd: when there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have 5 days... »

Last night marks one of the worst and most disgraceful events in the history of our great country, the spectacle of perhaps the most partisan Congress in history in full view forcing its wildly unpopular agenda onto the people using shamelessly flagrant bribes, undeniably brazen lies, and some of the most corrupt back room... »

In what has to be one of my favorite interviews of Obama ever, Bret Baier of Fox News grilled him relentlessly about the health care bill, the sweetheart deals that it’s loaded with, and the underhanded methods that the Democrats in Congress are using to get it passed. As can be expected, Obama did... »

AP is reporting on the latest Biden gaffe (the one thing for which Joe Biden can be reliably counted on), where he mistakenly “asked for God’s blessing for the late mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen during a White House celebration of St. Patrick’s Day—except the elderly lady is very much alive.” The report... »

If anyone has any doubt as to what the New York Times thinks of Obama, one needs to look no further than this devoutly doctored image that graces their web site: »

James Taranto writes a particularly insightful piece today describing what could quite credibly be a slippery slope towards eugenics for the Democrats’ healthcare bill. In fact, it is particularly frightening just how credible it all is: National Review’s Bob Costa catches up with Rep. Bart Stupak, the Michigan Democrat who, although not opposed to ObamaCare,... »

In what has to be one of the strangest news stories I’ve read in a long time, a woman is intentionally trying to become the world’s fattest woman. This stupid woman, Donna Simpson of NJ, who obviously isn’t too concerned about being alive to watch her 3-year old daughter grow up, is already 600... »

Rabbi Avi Shafran has written an amazing piece for the Jewish World Review, taking a new look at pulling the plug on patients in a “vegetative state” in light of incredible new findings which prove that some of those patients are actually fully conscious and can hear and respond to questions—using a method never... »

Immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Israel flew an incredible amount of doctors and equipment there (more so than any other country, proportionately speaking)—some of the best and most advanced technology—and made an incredible difference in the aftermath. While most critics of Israel at least acknowledged the humanitarianism and generosity of the country,... »

Last Friday, James Taranto had this hilarious observation in his Best of the Web Today column of Paul Krugman arguing with his past self: Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls “the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties”: Today, Democrats and... »

I couldn’t help but seethe as I read a recent “news alert” from Reuters AlertNet, loaded with an unbelievable amount of spin and bias. The story involves Muslims hurling rocks at Jews from above, as the Jews pray below harmlessly at the Western Wall. Note that these large rocks (sometimes euphemized as “stones”) can cause—and... »

Here’s Harry Reid (D-NV) today, saying, “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” You just gotta see it to believe it: »
