WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — Ho hum. Another conservative presidential candidate is trashed by the civility-talking media. Rick Perry shoots to the top of the polls just days after entering the Republican field, and in no time, he gets the "he's stupid" treatment accorded Ronald Reagan (whose predecessors were not smart enough to figure out a way to bring down the Soviet empire or how to usher in two decades of unprecedented prosperity)...

LOS ANGELES TIMES — The college dreams of thousands of students who are illegal immigrants moved closer to fulfillment Wednesday after the state Senate approved a bill that for the first time would give them access to public financial aid... (more)

ANN COULTER — Amid the hoots at Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry for saying there were "gaps" in the theory of evolution, the strongest evidence for Darwinism presented by these soi-disant rationalists was a 9-year-old boy quoted in The New York Times... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — There are now enough Operation Fast and Furious officials playing hide-and-seek in the Obama administration to fill a "rubber room." That's the nickname for taxpayer-subsidized holding pens, such as the ones in the New York City public schools, where crooked employees are separated from the system and paid to do nothing... (more)

WORLD AFFAIRS — A retired Chinese general recently revealed that his country might be planning a surprise missile attack on the United States.

EMILY MILLER — Gov. Sean Parnell just wants Washington to leave Alaska alone. The Frontier State's North Slope currently satisfies 11 percent of the nation's daily thirst for oil. The Republican governor thinks that percentage should be higher, but the Obama administration is stopping him from doing what needs to be done for America's energy security... (more)

ASSOCIATED PRESS — A federal judge in Birmingham has temporarily blocked enforcement of Alabama's new law cracking down on illegal immigration. U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Blackburn's order issued Monday means the law won't take effect as scheduled on Thursday... (more)

DAVID LIMBAUGH — As the 2012 presidential race gears up, leftist Christophobes are showing some signs of hysteria -- or political opportunism; it's sometimes difficult to tell. The New York Times' executive editor, Bill Keller, in a piece in The New York Times Magazine, argues that presidential candidates should be asked tough questions about their faith... (more)

RICH LOWRY — The last time Republicans were roundly condemned as anti-science, it was for their resistance to destroying human embryos for stem cells. Their crude religiosity supposedly blocked imminent leaps ahead in medical progress. Then-vice-presidential candidate John Edwards went so far as to predict in 2004 that because of "the work we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair, and walk again"...

WALTER WILLIAMS — Overall U.S. unemployment is 9.1 percent. For white adults, it's 8 percent, and for white teens, 23 percent. Black adult unemployment stands at 17 percent, and for black teens, it's 40 percent, more than 50 percent in some cities, for example, Washington. Chapter 3 of "Race and Economics," my most recent book, starts out, "Some might find it puzzling that during times of gross racial discrimination, black unemployment was lower and blacks were more active in the labor force than they are today"...

WASHINGTON TIMES — It's not surprising that prominent members of the "me" generation who think the universe revolves around themselves also believe they hold sway over Earth's climate. New science is dispelling their delusion and confirming that Mother Nature still is in control of the environment... (more)

SEN. RAND PAUL — Since its creation in 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency has done more harm than good. EPA regulations cost more than 5 percent of our annual gross domestic product - the equivalent of the costs of defense and homeland security combined... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Thanks to the rule of law, Americans are not subject to the capricious rule of men. Instead, the laws apply equally to the high and the low alike. To achieve this end, the Founders separated powers and responsibilities within government, giving Congress the authority to make the laws and charging the president with the constitutionally imposed duty to "take care that the Laws be faithfully executed"...

NEWSMAX — Will Hillary Clinton challenge Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination? She says no, that she never wants to run for office again. But the pressure is growing on her to change her mind as Obama continues to slide in the polls -- and as the left bloc of the party and Latino and black voters become more vocal in their disapproval of the president...

CHUCK NORRIS — Loyal readers know that I have been calling attention to a range of Second Amendment issues in the past week. In last week's column here, I wrote about the scandals and illegitimate regulations emanating from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives. In another outlet, I documented the threat to our rights that is posed by the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — President Obama coasted into the White House thanks in part to the youth vote, individuals aged 18-29 who bought into his vague promise to bring change. During Mr. Obama's term in office, however, many of this group - known as Millennials - have been forced to learn how to subsist on pocket change... (more)

CNN — A new national survey is further proof that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's entrance earlier this month into the race for the White House has dramatically altered the battle for the Republican presidential nomination. According to a CNN/ORC International Poll of Republicans and independent voters who lean towards the GOP, Perry now sits atop the list of Republican presidential candidates, with strong support from most demographic groups...

LARRY KLAYMAN — I spent this week in Israel with Glenn Beck. Glenn, who left Fox News a few months ago, organized an event he called "Restoring Courage," and courageous it was. Months before his event, I had floated a similar idea that I had been promoting -- a "Hollywood Tribute to Israel" -- not only with him but a number of influential people, because, as I have written before, not only is the Holy Land "holy," the root of Judeo-Christian civilization, but its future is so tied to your own during these trying times...
