The world turns. In Indonesia, the principal of a Muslim boarding school in Tangerang who is accused of impregnating a 15-year-old student says the DNA test will prove that a malevolent genie is the real father. In New Zealand, a German tourist, Herr Hans Kurt Kubus, has been jailed for attempting to board a plane [...]
The Obama administration has begun to back away from its plans to bring the 9/11 plotters to trial in New York City. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an erstwhile supporter of the trial, changed his mind on grounds that it would be too risky and too costly. Lawmakers from both parties began voicing opposition. Sen. Lindsey Graham [...]

Kingsley Amis didn’t stick to friendly territory. The English novelist, poet, and essayist lampooned university elites but taught at Swansea, Cambridge, and Princeton. He criticized Dylan Thomas’s poetry but served as trustee of Thomas’s estate. He blasted conservatism in his youth, leftism afterward. The man truly knew his targets. It shows to great effect not [...]
The economy has strengthened some in recent months — helped by inventory building and excess monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve — while payroll employment is finally stabilizing. But the economic forces that are working in favor of GDP growth in the short term are not creating a longer-term reason for businesses — small firms, [...]

David Bossie irritates President Obama. Bossie did not get the usual upturned chin or expletive-riddled call from Rahm Emanuel this week after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United, his non-profit corporation, in a landmark free-speech decision. Rather, Obama decided to take a potshot through a sharp-edged rant tucked into the State of [...]

Fox News is Americans’ most trusted source of news: That’s what Public Policy Polling reported earlier this week. ABC’s director of polling disputed the poll’s findings largely because of its use of “robopolling.” But now a second poll using a different methodology — and human callers — has reached a similar conclusion. In a poll [...]
In 1964, Barry Goldwater gave an uncompromisingly conservative and liberty-loving speech to the Republican National Convention. A reporter in the audience couldn’t believe his ears. “My God! He’s going to run as Barry Goldwater!” I had a similar reaction to President Obama’s State of the Union address. For all the talk of how he needed [...]

So what went wrong? According to Barack Obama, the problem is he overestimated you dumb rubes’ ability to appreciate what he’s been doing for you. “That I do think is a mistake of mine,” the president told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “I think the assumption was if I just focus on policy, if I just focus [...]

‘Why not treat him as an enemy combatant?” Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace was pressing John Brennan, President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser. Umar Abdulmutallab had just tried to kill nearly 300 people aboard Northwest Flight 253 as it descended toward Detroit on Christmas Day. The Obama administration had immediately decided to hand the al-Qaeda [...]

In the aftermath of the 2008 election, offering advice to Republicans became a cottage industry among Beltway pundits. For the most part, it was the same advice Republicans always receive when their candidates fare poorly: Moderate your positions on abortion and other social issues and focus on defense and fiscal policy. Even many conservative analysts [...]

Americans have cause to rejoice in the Supreme Court’s landmark decision reaffirming our freedom of association and our freedom of speech. In Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, the majority of the Court, led by Justice Kennedy, reaffirmed “ancient First Amendment principles.” It specifically overruled a prior decision in which the Court had upheld a [...]
Prior to Super Bowl XLI in 2007, my brother and I engaged in a lengthy theological debate: Was it morally permissible to root for the Indianapolis Colts — to whom we had been passionately devoted when they were the Baltimore Colts — in their contest with Da Bears of Chicago? The question was not easily [...]

Kennedyland became Scott Brown Country on Tuesday, but across the border in New York, where I live, it was business as usual. Gov. David Paterson proposed a billion dollars in new sales taxes. The state has blown through all the money it has taken out of our pockets in recent years and now needs more. [...]

If the Republicans think that they are simply “due” to start winning elections, perhaps buoyed by the recent polls showing that the public is turning against Democrats in general and the Obama administration in particular, then they may neglect to do the things they need to do if they are to turn their hopes into [...]
