Angry McCain ups ante, calls
Paul, Cruz ´wacko birds´

Washington Examiner, by Paul Bedard Original Article

Elder Sen. John McCain, who this week engaged in friendly fire when he launched his "maverick" missiles at fellow Republicans seeking clarification on the administration´s drone policies, has upped the ante, deriding Tea Party-backed GOP lawmakers as "wacko birds." McCain, who hit the Senate floor Thursday to belittle Sen. Rand Paul´s filibuster, which succeeded in getting an answer from President Obama that drones won´t be used to kill Americans on U.S. soil, even suggested that the Kentucky senator and his allies, like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, don´t represent the GOP mainstream.

Juan Williams lifts

Juan Williams, the Fox News pundit and former NPR news analyst, has admitted that a column he wrote for The Hill lifted passages from a Center for American Progress report, without attribution. But when asked about the column by Salon´s Alex Seitz-Wald, who first reported the omission, Williams placed the blame on his research assistant. "I was writing a column about the immigration debate and had my researcher look around to see what data existed to pump up this argument and he sent back what I thought were his words and summaries of the data,” Williams told Seitz-Wald.

Our Father, Who art

Do you accept Barack Obama as your Lord and Savior? Chris Rock does -- calling him our father, who art in the White House. The media does as well. The epidemic of pandering press members dropping on their knees in the customary position of worship before our president has become a pandemic. Media loved Bill Clinton, but they didn´t ´intern´ for the guy like they seem to for Barack. A cigar is just a cigar, but, today´s press is smoking something, and it looks more and more like a Barack Obama, choom gang special blend. Note, rearranging the

A Time to Think Big

Jeb Bush isn’t not running for President. This is big news, even though the next presidential election is several zillion tweets away. It shakes up the political money world, where potential saviors like Chris Christie and Marco Rubio may find it much harder to fill their treasuries. It may tee up yet another of those Bush-vs.-Clinton death matches that are so entertaining. But it is potentially more important for those who’d like to see the Republican Party evolve past its current juvenility. Bush is thoughtful, and he thinks big. Asked on Morning Joe to name

Dianne Feinstein sneers at Rand

Sen. Dianne Feinstein D-Calif., dismissed Sen. Rand Paul’s nearly 13 hour filibuster protesting the use of drones on American citizens on American soil. “No drone is going to be used in the United States against an American citizen walking down a street, or sitting in a cafe,” Feinstein insisted on MSNBC last night. Feinstein joined Sen. John McCain R-Ariz. ridiculing Paul for warning about a drone targeting an American dissident such as actress Jane Fonda. “And then there was the stupid example of a drone being used against Jane Fonda,” Feinstein added. “I mean,

Sean Hannity admitted tonight that despite clarifications from the White House and Eric Holder, he still has serious concerns about the United States’ drone strike policy. Hannity brought on Charles Krauthammer to talk about Rand Paul‘s 13-hour filibuster and how it may be a factor in the rejuvenation of the Republican party grassroots. Hannity and Krauthammer agreed there is great momentum against President Obama that the Republican party can latch onto if they play their cards right. Krauthammer said of Paul’s filibuster that it would be a stunt

China warns against Korea escalation

China has appealed for calm on the Korean peninsula, hours after North Korea said it had scrapped all peace pacts with the South and threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes. China, the North´s only major ally, said all sides should continue to talk and avoid "further escalation". Pyongyang has reacted angrily to another round of sanctions imposed by the UN over its recent nuclear test. The sanctions restrict luxury goods imports and banking activities. Beijing provides fuel, food and diplomatic cover to Pyongyang. It has repeatedly voted in favour of UN sanctions imposed over the nuclear programme, but enforcement of the

While many Americans worry about government drones in the sky spying on our private lives, Washington meddlers are already on the ground and in our schools gathering intimate data on children and families. Say goodbye to your children´s privacy. Say hello to an unprecedented nationwide student tracking system, whose data will apparently be sold by government officials to the highest bidders. It´s yet another encroachment of centralized education bureaucrats on local control and parental rights under the banner of "Common Core."

U.S. dismisses North Korea´s threat of

The Obama administration today dismissed a threat by North Korea and warned that U.S. is ´fully capable´ of defending itself from a ballistic missile attack by the communist regime. White House spokesman Jay Carney was responding to the North´s vow to launch a nuclear strike against America. North Korea state media warned of a ´thermonuclear war´ as an unidentified spokesman for Pyongyang´s Foreign Ministry said the North will exercise its right for ´pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the headquarters of the aggressors.´ That threat came in retaliation for tough new U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following its recent nuclear test.

President Barack Obama used to want a grand deficit deal because he philosophically believed it was best for the country, and politically believed it was best for him.Now he needs it because he has no choice. Obama’s failure to avert $85 billion in spending cuts known as the sequester underscored the limits of his outside strategy and signaled that he could not persuade Republicans to raise revenue again without a comprehensive agreement to overhaul the Tax Code and entitlements

A thief who broke into two cars in the middle of the night told a court he did it because he was trying to cure his insomnia. David Pinnock stole a mobile phone, sunglasses, CDs and a hat, from the cars in South Shields, while out riding his bike on February 6. The 30-year-old was arrested shortly after the break-ins, and pleaded guilty to two counts of theft from a motor vehicle at South Tyneside Magistrates´ Court. His solicitor told the court that Pinnock, of South Shields, has trouble sleeping, and was trying to tire himself out when he

When North Korean dictators start ranting about the prospects of all-out war with the West, my instinctive reaction is to wonder if they´ve stopped taking their meds for some reason. After all, if the North Koreans were really serious about starting a fresh war, their chances of success are negligible – even if they do have a few basic nuclear warheads. The Americans would simply shoot down their Nodong missiles and wreak a terrible revenge on Pyongyang. And yet there is something deeply troubling about the latest outburst by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, who has made some bellicose noises

Rand Paul´s New Friends

WASHINGTON — Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has friends all over the spectrum — from establishment conservatives to the freewheeling libertarian devotees of his father — after a nearly 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan´s CIA nomination on Wednesday. He´s also managed to make two of the Senate´s most establishmentarian figures, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, look like outliers, and Republicans are privately grumbling about them. He´s managed, in other words, through showmanship and relationship-building, to finally mainstream his father´s lonely brand of contrarianism.

Rand Paul Shifts Political Orbit

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

In a Washington Post op-ed, Bill Clinton argues that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which he signed into law, is unconstitutional. This raises an obvious question: Why did Clinton sign an unconstitutional piece of legislation into law? As slick as he is, Clinton can’t provide an answer. He does explain why he signed DOMA in 1996: [At that time] in no state in the union was same-sex marriage recognized, much less available as a legal right, but some were moving in that direction. Washington, as a result, was swirling

Fox News pundit Juan Williams lifted — sometimes word for word — from a Center for American Progress report, without ever attributing the information, for a column he wrote last month for The Hill newspaper. Almost two weeks after publication, the column was quietly revised online, with many of the sections rewritten or put in quotation marks, and this time citing the CAP report. It also included an editor’s note that read: “This column was revised on March 2, 2013, to include previously-omitted attribution to the Center for American Progress.” But that editor’s note mentions only the attribution problem,

Tennessee´s Sen. Bob Corker -- one of a dozen Republicans invited to break bread with President Obama this week -- emerged from the dinner Wednesday evening describing the atmosphere and discussion as "sincere and open." That shouldn´t be newsworthy, but these aren´t normal times. To hear mainstream media sages like CBS´ Norah O´Donnell tell it, the problem is the intractability of "the Republican leadership" in their dealings with Obama, who, as a result, believes having a "clear and open discussion" with them is impossible. Set aside for a moment O´Donnell´s and other mainstream media types´ habit of peddling

Great congratulations to federal and local counterterrorism professionals for capturing Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Osama Bin Laden’s son-in-law and a core member of Al Qaeda in its most lethal years. He has the blood of nearly 3,000 innocents on his hands. For he was there with Bin Laden on the brink of 9/11 and he was there with Bin Laden in its aftermath. Bringing Ghaith to justice, as much as justice can be gotten for the infinite infamy of the attack, is a major accomplishment and testament to the U.S.’ determination never to forget. That said, it is an affront that Ghaith

Obama on His Heels

In January, pretty much all of respectable Washington had a sense of where President Barack Obama’s second term was headed. His approval ratings were sky high. His liberalism was pure and untroubled by thoughts of post-partisanship. His second-term agenda of immigration reform, gun control, climate change, and tax reform was clear. He would roll over the opposition. The dawn of a liberal age—a permanent majority, perhaps—was at hand. Stinking Republicans? Obama didn’t need them. The president, wrote Politico’s Glenn Thrush, had “a new mandate—achieving bipartisan results through force, not conciliation.” Obama was “armed with an approval rating in the 50s.”

Yesterday, Samuel Tadros reported in the Weekly Standard that John Kerry was handling his transition to running the State Department about as adroitly as one would imagine. He had an idea, and Foggy Bottom sent out a press release excitedly announcing that First Lady Michelle Obama was going to enthusiastically partake in this idea. The State Department would confer Women of Courage awards on several worthy recipients. Unfortunately, one of them happened to have a bad habit, apparently, of proclaiming viciously anti-Semitic hate speech on Twitter and was pretty happy, according to her timeline,
