Jeb raised only three times as much from small donors as did Lawrence Lessig, the semi-obscure Harvard professor, running as a Democrat, who was too fringey to be invited to a debate that featured Lincoln Chaffee, who had only 29 itemized donors through the third quarter of 2011. And Jeb’s total amount, $4.2 million, raised […]

I’m talking about is the reason that we have a Second Amendment. This is a book about the Constitution, and the Second Amendment is part of it it’s there for the reasons that I stated in the book. In case of invasion by foreign power, the people would be able to aid the military, and […]

No one in politics should assume things are in stasis. Politics is about change. If you don’t believe change is possible, you’re not an advocate for politics; you’re simply a guy taking a check, discussing which other guys should get checks. I know one thing about change: Change is not possible unless you first believe […]

This is the problem with using the word “elites” to refer to Republican Party apparatchiks: They’re all such utter mediocrities. I don’t mean to be unkind. It’s simply a fact. — Ann Coulter The consultant class wants a neat, static world, where nothing ever changes. They produce an occasional tepid victory to create the illusion […]

When the killer is Muslim, the media tries its hardest to not connect that killer to any other Muslim, or even the Islamist ideology.

It’s one party, it’s the McConnell-Reid leadership team, and they fight for the same priorities. — Ted Cruz Still, it doesn’t explain why the president’s own side is so angry at America itself. There’s a revealing tendency in most liberal and left-wing histories of the United States of America. When something bad happens, there tend […]

In fact, the people who assert that they are smarter than others, and thus must lend their competency and intellect to others, are in fact among the stupidest, most incompetent, and least useful people in existence. Let me point something out: An expert is someone who gets called upon to offer his expertise. He is […]

Ms. Democrat, can you comment on Mr. Republican’s horrific beliefs and statements? — Ace When people diss the government — we’re really dissing ourselves and dissing our democracy. — Hillary Clinton And here’s the sad truth, a lot of Republicans of […]

Although it has declined over the past few decades, two-thirds of all new HIV/AIDS infections in the U.S. are the result of men having sex with men. Fifty percent of ‘gay’ men will be infected with HIV by age 50. Those numbers are out there and they are staggering. — Dr. Paul Church The church […]

The FBI’s crime victimization surveys tell a very different story, one more in line with a normal person’s life experience. In 2008, the most recent year for which such data seems to have been collected, FBI surveys show that, out of 520,161 interracial violent crimes, blacks committed 429,444 of them against whites, while whites committed […]

Racism is an extremely attractive ideology for the dim and weak and unaccomplished. Dumb white people like thinking that they have some mystical connection to Other Great White People. Thus it is that an idiot Klansman can think he share some special blood-and-land kinship with Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo Da Vinci doesn’t need to dream […]

The right way to bring about a more open, permissive, and adult tone in civic culture is to treat the left according to its own obscene rules, while always making it clear: We are prepared to abandon these darkly stupid rules you’ve constructed the minute you agree to do the same, Genius. — Ace Consider, […]

A woman is a woman no matter what, but manhood can be lost. — Professor Roy Baumeister Hacky garbage getting defended on political grounds is a contagion for today’s progressives.

There’s three things I tell people that the Russians were afraid of. AIDS, Jewish people and Ronald Reagan. — Jack Barsky Let’s get something straight so we don’t kid each other.

You don’t have to have a white person around to have white supremacy play out. — Cherrell Brown (Medicare Reform) is totally tied to people who are in Congress for a career. If they truly were patriots, they would have fixed Medicare already. Common sense would say, if you’re up here and this is the […]

The last time a poll found Obamacare to be popular was during Obama’s first term. During his second term (now mercifully more than halfway over), Real Clear Politics has listed 178 polls on Obamacare. All 178 have found it to be unpopular. In addition, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll — a left-leaning outlier that RCP […]

Every single Obama failure — and we have quite a large sample here to draw conclusions from (N=1325) — is followed by a Prolonged Snit. This is seriously the first man I’ve ever observed for any length of time who always wants you to know he’s Ragging. — Ace I could write a book about […]

A study more than thirty years in the making found that smoking marijuana permanently lowers intelligence, or IQ. Frequent pot smokers (even those who had given up marijuana) tended to have deficits in memory, concentration, and overall IQ. The reduction in IQ for those who smoked pot heavily prior to age 18 was most pronounced: […]

Republicans need to force colleges to issue reports, just like drug companies, attesting to the average cost, and the average salary, for every degree. It will cost you $160,000 to receive a degree in Spanish literature and will take you 88 years to pay that back. — Ann Coulter Revealing that Americans realize illegal immigration […]

Somewhere along the way, Feminism went from claiming, with some justification, that beauty should not be the defining virtue for women (just as it is not the defining virtue for men), to claiming instead that Literally every woman alive is in fact “beautiful,” with “beautiful” defined as “just the way you are, Baby.” This is […]

The focus of Obamacare’s opponents should be on repealing and replacing the overhaul, not on repairing it—and everything they do should be with an eye toward advancing that larger goal. — Jeffrey Andersen To argue that the Paris murders were unrelated to Islam would be silly. The terrorists shouted “God is great” on their way […]

Jay Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object? — Mike Huckabee Yet as the Associated Press reported just before Christmas, “it’s actually the liberal-minded who shelled out the most […]

You may wonder why feminists never stop writing about rape. The answer is simple: Minus rape, feminism stands exposed as a trivial lists of complaints — women not “empowered” enough in TV shows, Liz Lemon selling out the sisterhood on 30 Rock, Negative Body Image You Guys in the media, etc. Minus rape, feminism is […]

Marxist ideology, the political religion in which the regime is rooted, is a dead faith. The world communist revolution was a god that failed. It is over, finished. Outside of North Korea and Cuba, who preaches that Marxism-Leninism is the future toward which mankind is heading? Who still believes that? — Pat Buchan Chuck, you […]

It’s a terrible piece of work, basically. It seems to me it’s deeply flawed. They didn’t bother to interview key people involved in the program. And I think that it’s sort of a classic example which you see too often in Washington where a group of politicians get together and sort of throw the professionals […]

I hope I’m not too cynical when I note that People do not want to be lectured that they are wrong. — Ace From New York to Washington to Oakland, crowds acted in solidarity to block main arteries at rush hour. Has President Obama condemned this? Has Eric Holder? Remarkable. Underlings of Gov. Chris Christie […]

As I warned the President, you can’t ask the elected representatives of the people to trust you to enforce the law if you’re constantly demonstrated that you can’t be trusted to enforce the law. The President never listened. — John Boehner Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America. More specifically, Barack […]
