The Woodlands, Texas - A rock crushed under the Curiosity Mars rover´s wheels has dazzled mission scientists in more ways than one. Mars is supposed to be the Red Planet, but the rock - dubbed "Tintina" - is a brilliant shade of white. The unusual colour indicates the presence of hydrated minerals that formed when water flowed through the robot´s landing site in ancient times. Water-bearing minerals in Tintina and elsewhere add to the growing catalogue of water evidence at this location. Rover team members have been presenting mission findings at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science

The idea now supported by House GOP leadership that a budget should balance within ten years originally came from conservative leaders in the House and from Heritage Action, the Club for Growth, and the Family Research Council. On January 15, Michael Needham, Chris Chocola, and Tony Perkins—the heads of those three conservative groupsurged House GOP leadership to support a budget that balances in 10 years. “Very simply, we can quickly jump-start our economy and improve the lives of millions of Americans by insisting that Washington not raise the debt ceiling unless our nation gets

Roland Martin tweeted that as of April 6, he’s out at CNN. Asked why by one of his followers, Martin responded “new boss wants his own peeps.” That new boss is Jeff Zucker, who has axed two prominent people of color since taking the helm at CNN. Soledad O’Brien was released amid claims that CNN felt her audience was “too ethnic.” This is Jeff Zucker. Of the three major on-air figures Zucker has fired, just one — Jack Cafferty — was white.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided to split legislation banning assault weapons from an overall package of expanded gun control measures set for the floor next week. It has been an open secret in Washington that most gun control measures, and the assault weapons ban in particular, faced long odds passing Congress. Reid´s move, however, cleverly structures the votes in a way to give maximum benefit to the many incumbent Democrats running for reelection in red states next year. Most accounts suggest that Reid jettisoned the assault weapons ban

In a speech before the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul detailed his position on immigration, including an implicit pathway to citizenship, contingent on border security, for illegal immigrants already in the country. “I think the conversation needs to start by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants,” said Mr. Paul, a Republican from Kentucky. “If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you.” Though Mr. Paul never used the word “citizenship” in his nearly 18-minute speech,

Washington - Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who 35 years ago discovered the bullet-riddled body of the gay activist Harvey Milk, reacted with anger on Tuesday that gun control legislation the Senate is to consider next month will not include the reinstatement of an assault weapons ban, a measure she had fought desperately to keep. (Snip) “To have these mass killings is such a blight on everything that America stands for.” At a Senate hearing last week, Ms. Feinstein said that she still could not get out of her mind looking for the pulse of Mr. Milk,

Cost Of Green: The same day the government blamed high fuel prices for February´s inflation spike, President Obama unveiled his latest idea: Waste billions more taxpayer dollars on the same failed "green" energy programs. Pump prices have climbed 40 cents a gallon since the start of the year, topping $3.60 a gallon. Obama complains that every time gasoline prices spike, "politicians dust off their three-point plans for $2 gas, but nothing happens and then we go through the same cycle again." But the truth is that Obama´s the one who keeps dusting off the same tired old proposals — the very

[Snip] Toward the end, he told his family he was “overwhelmed” by what he was experiencing on the job: the bodies, the violence and especially crime’s effect on children. He told his family those kids had no way out and no hope.

Here´s one reason why Democrats are in such a tizzy over the sequester spending cuts and ever-tighter budgets: It´s affecting their personal staffs and budgets. Two senior Democrats complained at a House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday that the combination of cuts over the past two years has robbed them of nearly 11 percent of their personal budgets, which average $1.3 million. Now House officials are looking at an additional 8.2 percent cut, or about $100,000. Total cut over three years: nearly 20 percent. "If it´s a $100,000 reduction in your [allowance] you

America´s Sharp Left Turn

Many Americans are wondering how their country, a supposed "center-right" nation, reached the point of electing and reelecting the most radical leftist administration in its history. Indeed, a long chain of events giving rise to a confluence of societal changes had to occur for such a fundamental reordering to take place. What exactly were they? How did this happen? Here´s how: First, when the liberal Democrat establishment, manifested by the teachers unions, decisively gained control of public education in the U.S. over four decades ago, the perpetrators may or may not have been conscious of setting the

Politics: Listening to enemies´ advice is seldom wise, but that seems to be what´s behind a new self-dissection by the Republican Party establishment. Autopsies make for a strange cure. We´re not in the business of providing consultation to political organizations, but to the extent the GOP is the vehicle for ideas that can save this country from expanding government, some observations are in order.

A New Jersey family claims a Facebook photo of their son holding a rifle his father gave him for his upcoming 11th birthday led the state´s child welfare agency to their home, demanding to be let inside and inspect their guns. The family of Josh Moore asked caseworkers and police to leave their Carneys Point home last Friday because they did not have a search warrant. Attorney Evan Nappen says a child welfare worker refused to identify herself before leaving. The case has riled gun-rights advocates, who say the family was defending its constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation´s chief law enforcement officer, returned to the courthouse where he once served as a judge, this time in the role of prospective juror performing his civic duty. The Justice Department said Holder wasn´t chosen and that he won´t be called back. Had he been selected for the jury Tuesday, the attorney general would have been on a panel hearing an armed robbery case.

Dear God, please stop. Sickening as it might seem, they’re talking war again in Washington. On the 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, with thousands dead and billions of dollars squandered, there are reports that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against its own people. If substantiated, Bashar al-Assad has crossed a “red line” that President Obama drew — under pressure from hawkish lawmakers and hand-wringing global leaders. “If today’s reports are substantiated ... we would urge him to take immediate action to impose the consequences he has promised,” Republican

RUSH: Dr. Benjamin Carson has taken the world by storm. Dr. Benjamin Carson from Johns Hopkins University took CPAC by storm. He was on Hannity last night. Anytime he speaks, he just dominates. Everybody loves Dr. Carson, and the reason they love Dr. Carson is he is able to articulate and explain conservatism in a way that is persuasive without raising his voice at all. He sounds like your dad talking to you -- or not your dad, your best buddy talking to you at the table, or in a bar, or whatever the most-nonthreatening place you can be is.
