President Barack Obama was heckled during a speech today to the Israeli people: "This is part of the lively debate we talked about," Obama said. "This is good." He added, "You know, I have to say, we actually arranged for that because it made me feel at home. You know, I wouldn´t feel comfortable if I didn´t have at least one heckler." The heckler appeared to be screaming in Hebrew, though it´s not clear what he was saying. UPDATE: The White House pool reporter adds: There was a heckler about 15 minutes into remarks. Man standing to

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday that President Obama´s healthcare law has helped keep costs under control while providing new benefits to millions of Americans. The number of double-digit increases in healthcare premiums has dropped significantly in the three years since Obama signed the law, she said on MSNBC´s "Morning Joe." "What we´re seeing is costs really come down for the first time in a very ling time," Sebelius said. "Medicare costs are significantly lower than they were." Greater access to preventive medicine will help

Lawmakers introduce bill to
void ´Redskins´ trademark

A group of House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a bill that would prevent the term "Redskins" from being trademarked, a move intended to put pressure on the Washington football club to change its name. The Non-Disparagement of American Indians in Trademark Registrations Act of 2013 is co-sponsored by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), and comes days after a federal trademark panel heard arguments over whether the team name was a slur. The panel could potentially overturn the team´s trademark, which would erode profits by allowing other businesses to sell apparel and goods featuring the Redskins name. Earlier this month,

I love talk radio; I love Fox News. If it weren’t for the arrival of their strong conservative voices, Americans would still have nothing to listen to but the one-sided news and opinions of the left-liberals who run the mainstream New York-D.C. media. But I’m frustrated. Talk radio and Fox are getting so boring, so predictable, so shrill, I can barely tune in anymore. Night after night on Fox, it’s the same issues, the same arguments, the same lame liberal guests showing up to be browbeaten by Hannity and O’Reilly. How many Juan Williamses does Fox have

First Lady Michelle Obama visited children at the Fisher House in Bethesda, Maryland on Wednesday, bringing with her cookies and an invitation to attend the White House Easter Egg Roll on the Monday following Easter. “Are you ready for a little more fun? I´m coming to engage in the fun with you,” Mrs. Obama told the children of military families. “So I like to come and hang out, number one, to bring cookies. Anybody like cookies here?

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is preparing to vote today on the Senate-approved continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year that would give the Obama administration the discretion to slightly decrease the number of Border Patrol agents. That could make 2013 the second year in a row when the administration has decreased the size of the Border Patrol, according to official data released by the Border Patrol itself. In fiscal 2011, according to the Border Patrol, there were 21,444 Border Patrol agents. Of these, 232

Marking the third anniversary of Obamacare’s passage, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the health care law fulfills the promises of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because it allows people to leave jobs that include health insurance as a benefit: You can become a “photographer or writer.” “I’ve always said that the Affordable Care Act is something that was transformative,” Pelosi said Wednesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill marking the upcoming anniversary of the law on March 23. “It helped us honor our promise of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to

Neurosurgeon’s Speeches Have

BALTIMORE — Dr. Benjamin Carson was a political unknown just weeks ago. Then with a single speech delivered as President Obama looked stonily on, he was lofted into the conservative firmament as its newest star: a renowned neurosurgeon who is black and has the credibility to attack the president on health care. In his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast last month, Dr. Carson criticized the health care overhaul and higher taxes on the rich, while warning that “the P.C. police are out in force at all times.” Overnight, he was embraced by conservatives including those

My late mother loved that joke about the cowboy who gets shot full of arrows by a band of Indian braves. When his buddies find him in terrible condition, they ask him if it hurts. “Only when I laugh,” he answers. One thing you learn quickly when living in Israel: the security of the State of Israel is a laughing matter. Citizens trying to survive in the trying political atmosphere over there learn to chuckle the doomsayers into oblivion. They guffaw, they cackle, they bellow, and they howl with laughter at every amusing situation that arises in the military realm.

At a press conference today in Ramallah, President Barack Obama addressed the assembled journalists while standing under a Yasser Arafat banner:(Snip for photo)"Hope everyone saw presser. If not there, it was notable that Obama and Abbas spoke from under a banner bearing pictures of Arafat and Abbas. Also another big banner was hanging on wall nearby with Abbas kind of superimposed on Arafat," the White House pool reporter notes. Arafat, as the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting has noted, "is known to many as the “father of modern terrorism.” Below is a timeline

President Obama, alongside and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, says the U.S. remains "deeply committed" to the creation of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine. President Barack Obama spoke critically of Israeli settlement activity in Palestinian territories and reaffirmed his commitment to the creation of "an independent and sovereign state of Palestine" in a Thursday news conference in the West Bank. "We cannot give up on the search for peace, no matter how hard it is. ...

Wasn´t I supposed to get a wagon to welcome me to the lunatic fringe? That´s where I am, you know: out on the lunatic fringe, with all those other conservative types that took issue with Baltimore neurosurgeon Ben Carson being called a "token" black. Actually, to be fair to American University Assistant Professor Deen Freelon, I have to give the exact quote, and some background. Carson is one of the most renowned neurosurgeons in the world; he´s also African-American. He was born and raised in Detroit; his mom, a single parent, made it clear to her two

Obamacare´s crushing burden

To see why the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will raise the costs of health insurance for Americans, look no further than Missouri, where U.S. District Judge Audrey Fleissig struck down a state law exempting moral objectors from purchasing birth control coverage. Judge Fleissig wrote on Thursday that this Missouri law contradicted federal law, which requires insurers to offer free contraceptive coverage, and that federal law pre-empts state law. This is a small example of how one-size-fits-all health insurance requires Americans to buy broader policies than they need. This raises the cost of

Karl Rove and Republican Decline

Not since 1984 and the landslide victory of Ronald Reagan have the Republicans had a more winnable election than the 2012 presidential election. Yet the Republican Establishment managed to lose to the worst and most vulnerable President in modern history, with historically poor approval ratings, unemployment averaging over 8.7% during his entire first term, a stagnant economy and someone who ran the smallest and most absurd of all possible re-election campaigns.

Clueless About Obamacare

The government passes a byzantine 906-page law that touches almost every American citizen and business. Opponents wage a three-year war trying to undo it. No surprise, then, that the public ends up bewildered. That includes business owners who have real-money decisions to make about health care next year—and apparently don’t grasp the most basic elements of the health reform law. (Snip) Jeff Bevis, chief executive officer of FirstLight HomeCare, told me recently that some workers in his senior care franchise system expect the law to deliver free health insurance. His company is working to design

Dems no longer fear ´ObamaCare´

Three years after President Obama signed his landmark healthcare law, Democrats are confident they’ve finally played the politically divisive issue to a draw. Thursday marks the third anniversary of the final House vote to pass the Affordable Care Act, and Obama signed the bill into law three years ago Saturday. While the debate over the law’s merits still rages in Washington, there are also strong signs that beating up on ObamaCare simply isn’t the potent political weapon it once was. Healthcare played a dominant role in Democrats’ deep losses in 2010.

Just like that, Obama and

Wasn´t it great to see what a super-buddy Barack Obama has suddenly become with Israel´s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Just super. Very reassuring after all the suspicions, leaks, lectures of the 51-year-old Christian by the 63-year-old Jew, open mic derision and outright snubs. Doesn´t every president leave an allied visiting prime minister waiting downstairs like an unwanted life insurance salesman while the president dines elsewhere? So, we are to imagine that four-plus years of animosity, impatience, mis-steps and mistrust have evaporated as quickly as Obama’s charm offensive.

´Bergoglio didn´t give us up,´ Jalics

Francisco Jalics, one of the two Jesuit priests kidnapped during the last military dictatorship came forward to assure that Pope Francis never gave him up to the junta authorities. “These are the facts: Orlando Yorio and I were never given up by Jorge Bergoglio (now Pope Francis)” Jalics said in a written statement posted on the German Jesuits website. Soon after Bergoglio’s election, accusations came to light in which some said that Bergoglio had failed to protect Jalics and Yorio, both members of his congregation, who were kidnapped and tortured in 1976. In that year, Bergoglio was the provincial superior

The Media´s Dirty War Of
Words Against Pope Francis

Media: The left has been trying to paint the new Pope Francis as someone with a dark past dating to Argentina´s dirty war. One problem: Their allegations are falling apart. So now it´s all about endlessly repeated innuendo. Tell a lie often enough, and it becomes truth. That seems to be the premise for the constant references to "persistent doubts," "raising questions," "alleged charges" and other weasel-word qualifiers the press uses about the new pope. They can be found in the likes of the New York Times, the Daily Beast, the BBC, Der Spiegel and others.

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House. This new movement brought Marco Rubio and Rand Paul to Washington

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything. The White House also granted 1,472 waivers to certain companies and unions exempting them from insurance reforms

In a surprisingly candid and lengthy expose, the Washington Post described how Woonsocket, an economically depressed town in Rhode Island, has been turned upside down by food stamps. With a third of the town enrolled, food stamps have created a huge boom-and-bust economy in Woonsocket
