Was the White House involved in the IRS’s targeting of conservatives? No investigation needed to answer that one. Of course it was. President Obama and Co. are in full deniability mode, noting that the IRS is an “independent” agency and that they knew nothing about its abuse. The media and Congress are sleuthing for some [...]

The health law is doomed to fail. Here are alternatives others are talking about. Deep in the bowels of Washington’s regulatory agencies, and overshadowed by the raft of recent scandals, Obamacare is falling apart. Key provisions of the health law have either been stalled in implementation or tied up in the courts. Out of money, [...]

Benghazi may not be another Watergate, but the administration has a credibility crisis. By Charles Krauthammer Note to the GOP re Benghazi: Stop calling it Watergate, Iran Contra, bigger than both, etc. First, it might well be, but we don’t know. History will judge. Second, overhyping will only diminish the importance of the scandal if [...]

It’s a cliché, of course, but it really is true: in Washington, every scandal has a crime and a coverup.

For a long time, it seemed like [...]

If you want to know why King Louis XVI Obama is pouting… He stood astride the republic. He had real power. The first time he had it taken away. The second time he gave it away. PRESIDENT OBAMA is not Saul Alinsky or Richard Nixon—aware of how one gets power and uses it, or self-aware [...]

Most Americans — even those who are legislators — know very little about the details of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, so-called Obamacare.
