‘Trainwreck’ Makes the Case for
Monogamy, by Katrina Trinko
July 22, 2015 -- She’s no fan of monogamy, she is baffled when her
boyfriend talks about marriage and she’s all about the one-night stand.
You’d think she’d be the heroine in a Hollywood movie. Instead,
she’s…well, a “Trainwreck.” (And “Trainwreck” is not some new slang for
“super cool,” in case you’re wondering.) Director Judd Apatow’s latest
movie follows the formula he’s become known for: excessive raunch
paired with family values...

The IRS is Still Targeting Conservatives, by
Katie Pavlich
Jul 24, 2015 -- Shortly after pleading the Fifth and claiming her
innocence in front of the House Oversight Committee in May 2013, former
IRS official Lois Lerner took three months of paid leave and then
retired with a full pension. During her time at the IRS she received
more than $100,000 in bonuses. Lerner, of course, is the woman who was
at the center of the IRS targeting scandal and met with...

Townhall… Cops
as Criminals,
Steve Chapman
Jul 26, 2015 - Late one night, during high school, I was driving home
when several police cars zoomed by. Curious about what was going on, I
followed them down a residential street, where they pulled up to a
house. I drove by and saw some officers walking up the sidewalk, but
couldn't tell what they might be after. So I pulled into a driveway,
turned...

Hampshire, military recruiting center after the recent shooting by
“Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez” who opened fire on two military
installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five service members
and wounding one other service member and a police officer. The armed

Leadership Failures Caused Donald Trump’s Rise,
by Erick Erickson -- July 24, 2015 -- The number one thing you hear
when you ask any Republican about Donald Trump is this — he fights. You
hear it from Rush Limbaugh. You hear it from other talk radio show
hosts. You hear it from the base. You hear it even from some Democrats.
And in all cases, you hear it somewhat admirably. They may not like or
endorse Trump, but they respect that he just doesn’t...

"The Most Frustrated" About His Gun Control Agenda Being Stopped,
by Katie Pavlich -- Jul 24, 2015 -- With just a year and a half left to
go for his time at the White House, President Obama is telling the BBC
what his greatest frustration has been as commander-in-chief: having
his gun control agenda "stymied." "If you ask me where has been the one
area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied, it
is the fact that the United States...

Iranian Nuke Deal
Negotiator Admits "Anytime" Inspections Are Pretty Much Bogus,
Katie Pavlich - Jul 17, 2015 - As you know by now, earlier this week
the Obama administration struck a nuclear deal with Iran, claiming "the
most intrusive inspections ever" were part of the negotiation process.
First, lets take a step back to April when White House Deputy National
Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said the White House...

Bakers Fined $135K Over Lesbian Wedding Cake Raise More Than $210K,
by Diana Stancy -- July 08, 2015 -- A fundraising campaign that was
launched to help Aaron and Melissa Klein, the bakers fined $135,000 for
refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding, has raised more than
$210,000. The Kleins told The Daily Signal in an earlier interview that
their income has virtually been cut in half since they were forced to
close their business as a result. Additionally, if the family is

Bush as Jeb, Not

July 20th, 2015 -- Today, Jeb Bush is going to start laying out what he
stands for in terms of policy. He, more than any of the other
Republican candidates, walks a delicate balance. He is anchored by his
last name and his brother’s legacy. If he tilts too far one way, there
is no maneuvering he can do to distance himself from claims that he is
the second coming of his brother’s Administration. He’s already...

Ain't What

Jul 19, 2015 - There was a time when most of what I knew about
psychiatrists came from Woody Allen. In his 1973 movie "Sleeper," his
character wakes up in the future and complains, "I haven't seen my
analyst in 200 years. He was a strict Freudian, and if I'd been going
all this time I'd probably almost be cured by now." But even his
treatment...

OPM hack,

July 17, 2015 -- People who live in or visit Washington, D.C., or whose
corporations, agencies or departments are based here quickly realize
that we do things differently. We are run by a board of directors of
535 strangers (members of Congress), all of whom—save one—come from
someplace else. Many of them promise they will never “go” Washington.
They pledge to fight it even as they fight to get...

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign that it was big news that she
submitted herself to an interview with a cable news journalist. It also
says something that the journalist selected for this honor, Brianna
Keilar of CNN, was recently a guest at the wedding of the director of
grassroots engagement for the Clinton campaign. Makes sense to hedge
your risk...

Glaring Flaws in Obama’s Iran Deal,
James Phillips - July 14, 2015 - The Obama administration’s nuclear
agreement with Iran has major flaws that could dangerously undermine
the long-term national security interests of the United States and its
allies. Although the administration entered the negotiations pledging
to cut off all pathways to a nuclear weapon, the agreement amounts to
little more than a diplomatic speed bump that will delay, but not
permanently halt, Iran’s drive for a nuclear weapons...

Friday Jul 10, 2015 -- There’s a regular feature in grocery gossip
magazines titled “Stars: They’re just like us!” Supposedly “candid”
photos show actors and starlets taking out the trash, dropping off
their kids at school and walking their dogs to emphasize their Everyday
Peoplehood. But we all know it’s another manufactured Tinseltown myth.

weekend such as Independence Day. For instance, over the Fourth of July
break, there was word seeping out from the Iran nuclear talks in
Vienna—to anyone paying attention to anything but friends, food and
fireworks—that a deal was finally within grasp of the parties. Yes,
