John Stossel: Omission Control

The American Pravda.        Reporter Sharyl Attkisson's story sounds familiar to me: A major network got tired of her reports criticizing government. She no longer works there. The CBS correspondent reported on Fast and Furious, the shifting explanation for the Benghazi, Libya, attacks and the bungled rollout of the Obamacare website.   ... MORE

Ed Krayewski: The Anatomy Of An Obama Scandal

In six easy steps.     The Obama administration is riddled with scandals, from guns going missing in Mexico under Operation Fast & Furious to the revelations about the cover up of long wait times at Veterans Administration hospitals. In fact, these scandals have become such a regular occurence that we can now glean a pattern in how  ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Finding The Truth At Benghazi

Only the deception is transparent.     When the White House, in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the fearless private watchdog group Judicial Watch, turned over an email about constructing the appropriate narrative response to the tragedy at Benghazi written by Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security    ...

Barry Farber: More Fun Than A 1-Horse Open Slay

Obama's meltdown is quite delightful.     If the president’s troubles make you want to sing, at least get the lyrics right. It’s not “We Shall Overcome.” It’s “They Shall Overreach”! “Don’t count chickens before they hatch!” is too stilted and cliché. I prefer the earthier Southern version, “Don’t count ‘taters afore grabbin’ time.”        ... MORE

Ed Krayewski: Four Washington Scandals That Still Matter

Despite the distractions.       President Obama’s attempt to lead the United States into an intervention in Syria may have provided the White House a distraction from the summer of scandal, but they’re still there, festering. As the president waddles toward lame duck status, the various scandals will increasingly come to shape Obama’s second term.   ... MORE

Ken Allard: Generous Second Coat Of Benghazi Whitewash

More White House tactical air support from CNN.      CNN spent an hour of prime time Tuesday night to air a special anchored by Erin Burnett, “The Truth about Benghazi.” They claimed to have learned two vital lessons from their supposedly extensive investigation of that tragedy: It must never happen again, and politics trumped      ...

Katie Kieffer: Agency Girls Gone Wild

Too dirty to clean up their acts?      Agency girls are going wild. Obama’s leading ladies make students partying on the beach look like amateurs. Misbehavin’ is a resume booster in Washington, D.C. But not the kind of misbehaving that you might think. There are no wet t-shirt contests. It’s a buttoned-up misbehavin’—personified by      ... MORE

Dexter Wright: Impeach Eric Holder

Why isn't this a no-brainer?    As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of '73? There may indeed  ... MORE

Rand Paul Wants Answers On Gun-Running In Benghazi

by Emily Miller.   Sen. Rand Paul suspects the U.S. was secretly running guns through the consulate in Benghazi to arm Syrian rebels. The Kentucky Republican said the Obama administration must provide answers about whether firearms trafficking through Libya was related to the terrorist attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J.        ... MORE

How Obama Is Embarrassing Democrats & Independents

by Kate Kieffer.   Democrats are blushing. And not because Anthony Weiner is back on Twitter, direct-messaging pretty young girls. Vice President Joe Biden has long held the title of “Liberal Loose Cannon.” But Biden is such a grand hugger and hand-shaker that Democrats still let him work the crowds, crossing their fingers that he won’t say   ...

John Cassidy: A.P. Scandal Raises Spectre Of Big Brother

A reminder that the government is NOT us.   If the three-strikes rule were in effect, President Obama would be heading for the dugout, bat in hand. First the alleged Benghazi cover-up, then the kerfuffle about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups, and now the revelation that earlier this year the Justice Department secretly seized two     ... MORE

Rand Paul: A Staggering Abuse Of Power

Obama's disregard for our Constitution. When I filibustered over domestic drone use, critics said that I was being ridiculous. They said that no American had been killed by a drone on American soil and that no one was likely to be anytime soon. President Obama responded that he hadn’t killed anyone yet and didn’t intend to — but he might.            ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Storm Clouds Gathering

Government is bad for personal freedom.    That argument is premised upon the truism that everything government does interferes with freedom because it either prohibits or compels. Everything it owns it has taken from others. Much of what it says is divorced from the truth. President Obama, like President George W. Bush, has argued  ... MORE

Matt Welch: Benghazi Hall Of Shame

On death, lies and an obscure YouTube trailer.     Yesterday's dramatic congressional testimony about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. interests in Benghazi, Libya convincingly corroborated what was widely reported within days of the attack: that senior American officials on the ground knew immediately,     ...
