Power Line: Americans are tired; Obama is tired — but not of the same thing
(Paul Mirengoff) President Obama’s legendary intellectual dishonest was on full display once again in his “The Future of our Fight Against Terrorism†address. In essence, the speech called for a pullback, if not an end to, the “war&rdquo...

Power Line: A Second Amendment Celebration
(Steven Hayward) One of my favorite Facebook groups is “2nd Amendment Hotties,” and apparently more than a few other people like it to, as it has something like 16,000 “likes” on FB. Â Would seem an omission not to share some of it...
