BRYAN FISCHER — According to the Wall Street Journal, President Obama's brigade of buffoons running his signature health care bill has waived the penalty for not buying health insurance. Yes, you read that right. The individual mandate, which we were told by Obama was the key to making the whole thing work, has been dropped out of ObamaCare until 2016... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — In a Breitbart column insisting that Ronald Reagan was not as assertive as commonly believed on military and foreign policy issues, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) mentions, in passing, "I met Ronald Reagan as a teenager when my father was a Reagan delegate in 1976."... (more)


March 13, 2014
BREITBART — House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said he is incensed about allegations the CIA spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee, calling it "treason."... (more)

PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY — The United States is at "a constitutional tipping point" and "in the midst of a constitutional crisis."

March 13, 2014

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House panel Wednesday that nobody knows how many Obamacare enrollees have actually paid their health insurance bills.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — President Obama is threatening to veto a law that would allow Congress to sue him in federal courts for arbitrarily changing or refusing to enforce federal laws because it "violates the separation of powers" by encroaching on his presidential authority... (more)


March 13, 2014
WASHINGTON TIMES — President Obama has given a few constitutional law lectures, and he fancies himself an expert on the subject. Yet he shows the Founding document little respect (or, as he recently spelled it, "R-S-P-E-C-T"). He rewrites his Obamacare law without bothering with any of the inconvenient procedures prescribed in Article 1... (more)

TOBY WESTERMAN — America owes a debt of thanks to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Before his Stalinesque invasion of Ukrainian territory, few seemed concerned about Russia's drive to modernize its military and Moscow's ever tightening military alliance with China. After Putin's military adventure in Crimea, a parade of experts, pundits, and talk show hosts are now talking about Putin's goal of re-forming a new version of the Soviet Union, and some have even applied the term "Communist" to events in Russia...

TOM DEWEESE — I've written many articles in the past concerning my opposition to a Constitutional Convention (Con Con). I've also helped in successful fights in Ohio and Kansas to stop Con Con Resolutions. But recently there is a new twist in the effort to amend the Constitution to preserve freedom. It's called an Article V Convention of the States... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — At the risk of once again breaking the "Coulter Rule" -- the notion that every Republican in Congress must be left in office undisturbed or risk the end of the republic -- I need to bring up another John Boehner deputy who deserves to be knocked from his roost this year... (more)


March 13, 2014
ROLL CALL — House Budget Chairman Paul D. Ryan told his local newspaper that Republican leaders do not have the votes yet to pass a rewrite of the nation's immigration system.

March 13, 2014
SEN. JEFF SESSIONS — According to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, seven in ten voters believe that the Republican party is "out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today." What follows is a plan for how the GOP can win back their trust -- and a build a conservative majority in the process... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — As the U.S. and its allies eye further action against Russia, Ukraine's new prime minister Wednesday passionately accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking to seize control of the Crimean Peninsula and fomenting all-out war in a bid to "revise the outcomes" of World War II...

Oliver North says if any other president had tried to do what Obama has done, he already would be impeached.... (more)


March 12, 2014
JOSEPH FARAH — As a former activist for extreme left-wing causes in my misguided youth, I seem to be uniquely positioned and trained to understand why and how America is being pushed off the proverbial cliff. I know how the left works. I was a radical. I understand the terminology, the tactics, the nightmarish goals. I also understand the weakness in the opposition.... (more)


March 12, 2014
WASHINGTON TIMES — In a stunning public accusation Tuesday, the chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee said the CIA snooped through congressional computers and is trying to intimidate Congress into backing off a report looking into charges of torture during terrorist-linked interrogations. The accusation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, escalated what had been a simmering dispute into a full-blown constitutional battle.... (more)


March 12, 2014
WASHINGTON TIMES — Republican David Jolly won Tuesday's special election for the open seat in Florida's 13th Congressional District, eking out a victory over Democrat Alex Sink in a hard-fought race that offered both parties the chance to test-drive their political messages ahead of the midterm elections....

March 12, 2014
JOHN HAYWARD — To the surprise of her fans and admirers -- but not, evidently, to anyone familiar with the behind-the-scenes drama at CBS News -- reporter Sharyl Attkisson resigned her position on Monday. Attkisson is one of the few journalists who has done real investigative work that makes the government uncomfortable over the past few years.... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — Back in September, our family received an Obamacare-induced health insurance death notice. We joined millions of other Americans whose individual market health plans died after Democrats lied about our ability to keep the plans and doctors we liked. President Obama tried to "fix" the mess he created. But as usual, the federal government's solutions have made things even worse.... (more)


March 12, 2014
TIMES OF ISRAEL — The air force commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps was quoted by Iran's Fars news agency as saying Tuesday that Iran's military has its finger on the trigger to destroy Israel as soon as it receives the order to do so... (more)
