What Is Obama's Top Population-Control Freak Hiding? By Michelle Malkin
The most transparent administration in American history is at it again -- dodging sunlight and evading public disclosure.
Joining former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her secret servers, former IRS witch hunt queen Lois Lerner and her secret email accounts, former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and her Internet alter egos, and former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and his non-public email account is White House science czar John Holdren.

Hillary Clinton and 'Black Lives Matter': An Unproductive Confrontation By Michael Barone
Reporters and voters have so far gotten few glimpses of Hillary Clinton speaking candidly. One of the few examples available is in the videotape and transcript of her meeting with Black Lives Matter protesters in New Hampshire last week.

Sorting the Candidates By Thomas Sowell
Despite a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon, the media seem to be putting most of their attention on two candidates for their respective parties' presidential nominations next year. Moreover, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each make their own party nervous.
If next year's election comes down to Clinton versus Trump, a lot of people may simply stay home in disgust.

Donald Trump's Half-Serious, Half-Fantasy Immigration Plan By Michael Barone
Donald Trump's six-page platform on immigration may not be, as Ann Coulter wrote, "the greatest political document since the Magna Carta." But given the issue's role in elevating the candidate to leading Republican polls, it merits serious attention.

Immigration Excuses By Thomas Sowell
One of the most lame excuses for doing nothing is that we can't do everything. Such excuses have been repeated endlessly, even by some conservatives, when it comes to illegal immigration.

Trump Quickly Grasps Immigration Problem By Charles Hurt
“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.” — Mahatma Gandhi (or somebody)
That giant sucking sound you hear right now is the entire political establishment reacting in shock to Donald Trump’s deeply informed and comprehensive plan to address the rampant illegal immigration that has plagued America for more than a quarter century.

Democrats 2016: Biden His Time By Kyle Kondik
It’s time to ask a question, the answer to which we do not know: Will former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server scandal do fatal damage to her campaign?

Obama's Toxic Environmental Pollution Agency By Michelle Malkin
Here in my adopted home state of Colorado, orange is the new Animas River thanks to the blithering idiots working under President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency.

Breaking the Rules By John Stossel
Humans need rules. Rules make life more predictable. But when the rules multiply, the world needs some rule-breakers.

The Strange Death of the Center-Left by Michael Barone
In 1935 George Dangerfield published "The Strange Death of Liberal England, 1910-1914," a vivid account of how Britain's center-left Liberal Party, dominant for a century, collapsed amid conflicts it could not resolve.

Hillary Doesn't Care That Much About Abortion Rights By Ted Rall
Hillary Clinton's recent attack on fellow presidential hopeful Marco Rubio, R-Fla., over abortion ("offensive," "outrageous" and "troubling," she said) reminded me of something I've been wanting to wonder aloud for some time:
Why doesn't the Democratic Party call for a federal law legalizing abortion?

Straight Outta Whitewash By Michelle Malkin

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: Incapable of Embarrassment by Michael Barone
August is traditionally a vacation month, and East Coast elites, following European tradition, are thick on the ground in the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard (the Obamas' choice) and Nantucket.

Republicans 2016: What to Do With the Donald? By Larry J. Sabato, Kyle Kondik and Geoffrey Skelley
Whatever you think of him, Donald Trump is a stick of dynamite thrown into the presidential pond. All the boats have been rocked, and given Trump’s potential for more explosiveness, the political waters show little sign of settling down anytime soon.
Donald Trump is so special that we’ve created a category (and perhaps a word) just for him in our Republican presidential rankings: “The Un-Nominatable Frontrunner.”

No Means No: Keep Gitmo Jihadists Out of U.S.A. By Michelle Malkin
Get off that late-summer snooze button, America. The Obama administration is plotting to break a major promise made under oath -- and jeopardize our nation in the name of social justice.
This week, top White House officials floated renewed plans to close down Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Pentagon and Justice Department bureaucrats have been powwowing over how to shutter the facility and import up to hundreds of detained jihad suspects into the U.S. It's a longtime legacy promise President Obama wants to fulfill to progressives before he rides off permanently to Martha's Vineyard and Hawaii's lushest golf courses.
