Preliminary observation: Martha Raddatz can’t moderate anything. She can only lefterate it. Go!

Two-magazine semi-rapid fire drill with hostage scenario using a SCAR-17, shooting 7.62×51 (147 grain FMJ mil surplus) at 100 yards off a swivel grip pod. Only killed the poor lady maybe twice — though I think one of the (potentially) unfortunate shots may only have grazed her temple or gone straight through her 80s hair into the bad guy’s cheek or ear. She can thank me later. When her hearing

The Islamist terrorist attack on American soil, the buggered and murdered ambassador, and the three other lives lost? Why, we would have gotten away with blowing that off entirely — that is, taking it off the table as a political issue — it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids / Republican presidential ticket. Good lord. It’s long past time to vote these scumbags out: it’s time to tar and

“Wasserman Schultz: Wrong Statements About Libya Doesn’t Mean They Were False” — Which, when you’ve accepted that all truths are contingent and man-made, a product ultimately of some cocktail of historical consensus and the motivations of a particular interpretive community to defend that constructed narrative, you can argue with a straight face. And that’s exactly what we’ve done at the linguistic level — “textualism” leads to nothing but and is

Funny. I suspect had John Derbyshire come up with an idea like this — one that has been approved, mind you — Rich Lowry would have hit the fainting couch with an audible gasp, and Jonah Goldberg would have rushed to tell us there really is no room for discussion of any kind. And yet, the Florida education board seems to be institutionalizing some of the very data Derbyshire often

As you watch this, note that not a single Democrat who testified yesterday condemned the Administration’s response — which was less a “response” than it was an horrific scapegoating meant to buy time to produce a hastily constructed cover up. And what was the senior GOP leadership response back in September? Timidity disguised as faux sober righteousness. It’s not enough to win the Senate, hold the House, and take the

Marc Thiessen makes the case: Today marks exactly one month since terrorists attacked the U.S consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing our ambassador and three other American personnel. In the weeks since, Washington has been gripped by the unfolding scandals over the Obama administration’s failure to heed warnings of a growing terrorist danger in eastern Libya; its failure to provide additional security requested by U.S. personnel on the ground; and its

Zerohedge,“Data Massaging Continues: Initial Claims Tumble To 339K Lowest Since 2008, Far Below Lowest Expectation”: After expectations of a rebound in initial claims from 367K last week (naturally revised higher to 369K), to 370K (with the lowest of all sellside expectations at 355K), the past week mysteriously, yet so very unsurprisingly in the aftermath of the fudged BLS unemployment number, saw claims tumble to a number that is so ridiculous
