CLIFF KINCAID — Our media were so fixated on the "militarization" of the police in Ferguson that most of them failed to highlight the fact that Democratic Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's decision to call in the National Guard was another and more potent form of militarization.... (more)


August 21, 2014
JOSEPH FARAH — You've been hearing more and more about "the militarization of the police." It's about time. I actually introduced this phrase into the vernacular beginning back in 1997 when I first spotted the trend -- a trend that has several different facets to it, all dangerous. WND has been aggressively tracking these stories and began doing so long before any other news agency noticed.... (more)


August 21, 2014
ANN COULTER — It's important to remember that, in police shooting cases like the one in Ferguson, Missouri, the initial facts are often wrong. You don't want to end up looking like Rich Lowry, National Review editor, whose March 23, 2012, column on the Trayvon Martin shooting was titled, "Al Sharpton Is Right."... (more)

NEWSMAX — St. Louis County police say 51 people were arrested from mid-day Tuesday through early Wednesday in Ferguson -- all but one of them from out of town. Information released Wednesday shows that most of those arrested were cited for refusal to disperse, but a few face weapons charges, disorderly conduct or possession of burglary tools charges. Two men are charged with assaulting a police officer.... (more)


August 21, 2014
WORLDNETDAILY — Attorney General Eric Holder is in Ferguson, Missouri, ostensibly to investigate the shooting of an unarmed African-American by a white police officer.

SAM JONES — It is just over 10 years since Nicholas Berg, an American businessman working in Iraq, was brutally decapitated on video by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the thuggish leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. With the murder of the American journalist, James Foley, on Tuesday, the US and its Western allies were vividly reminded of the worst excesses of the Iraqi insurgency in the wake of the 2003 invasion....

August 21, 2014

August 21, 2014
WASHINGTON TIMES — Trouble in the St. Louis suburbs has rescued President Obama's vacation.

(more)


August 20, 2014
WASHINGTON EXAMINER — It's official: Mark Begich will face Dan Sullivan this fall in one of the most closely watched Senate contests of 2014. Sullivan, the state's former attorney general, won the Alaska Republican primary with 40.1 percent of the vote, with 98 percent of precincts reporting, according to Politico.... (more)


August 20, 2014
MICHELLE MALKIN — The most poisonous "-ism" now infecting Ferguson, Mo., is not virulent racism. It's viral narcissism. Over the past week and a half, the impoverished St. Louis County suburb has become a magnet for self-absorbed publicity seekers of all colors and agendas.... (more)


August 20, 2014
WALL STREET JOURNAL — Militants from the group Islamic State released a video Tuesday that appeared to show the beheading of American journalist James Foley in an act of retribution for U.S. airstrikes on the group in Iraq.... (more)


August 20, 2014
PHILIP KLEIN — It didn't take long for it to become widely accepted -- and not just among conservatives -- that Friday's indictment of Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, rests on a razor-thin legal premise. MSNBC host Ari Melber called the case "very weak" while Jonathan Chait of New York magazine declared the indictment "unbelievably ridiculous."... (more)

August 19, 2014

August 19, 2014
TOM DELAY — When it can't win at the ballot box, the Left heads for the courthouse. This month we are witnessing the latest disgusting example of the criminalization of politics in the decision by a single rogue prosecutor in my home state of Texas to indict Gov. Rick Perry on a ridiculous abuse-of-power charge. It's a classic call from the Left's playbook: When they can't defeat a conservative politician at the polls, they turn to the legal system to destroy him.... (more)

PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY — Political junkies will remember how former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was being groomed to run for president in 2012 before he made his foolish statement that the next president should "call a truce on the so-called social issues." Americans do not want a leader who is unable or unwilling to articulate and lead on important social issues.... (more)


August 18, 2014
ALAN KEYES — Just recently, I read a WND article reporting an interview with Clare Lopez, a former CIA operative who now "manages the counter-jihad and Shariah programs at the Center for Security Policy" (a national security affairs think tank directed by my friend Frank Gaffney, who was assistant secretary of defense for international security policy under President Ronald Reagan)...
