Share on Facebook 1 1 SHARES Give the framers of the Constitution a lot of credit for having an understanding of human nature that was surprisingly perceptive and ahead of its time. They understood well that, all other things being equal, men will more often act in their own perceived self interest than in the interest of others. They therefore understood that the key to | Read More »

On Thursday's New Day on CNN, left-wing Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal wildly accused fellow guest Jeff Roorda of the St. Louis Police Officer Association of being a racist. Chapelle-Nadal asserted that she, as well as the far-left protesters she supports, were "trying to...ensure that racism does not continue by people like you." Roorda replied, "Are you calling me a racist, Senator?" The Democratic politician replied, "Yes, absolutely!"

Forty-seven U.S. Senators have released an open letter to the Iranian government warning that any nuclear deal signed by President Barack Obama could be revoked by a subsequent U.S. president unless it is ratified by the Senate. The letter, while addressed to the "Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran," is really a warning to Obama not to bypass Congress.

Many moderate Muslims were invited to this week's White House summit on violent extremism. But one particular invitee raised some eyebrows, as critics pointed out that he had once suggested Israel should be on the "suspect list" for the 9/11 attacks.

By now it's clear that the brutal gang rape reported last November in Rolling Stone did not occur. I write that, knowing full well the backlash I could receive from not adding the caveat that something could still have happened to Jackie, the accuser in the story.
Activists have clung to the idea that something probably did happen to make a young woman tell a tale of a brutal gang rape and become a campus activist to keep the hoax claims isolated to a small subset. These same activists bent over backwards following the Charlottesville Police press conference last week to claim that Jackie probably wasn't lying, because such a false accusation flies in the face of statistics, as one CNN panelist said. Of course, the statistic that only 2 percent of reported rapes are false â doubtful anyway â only applies to rapes actually reported to police, which this one was not.

What happened last night was a pure ambush, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday, the day after two police officers were shot at a demonstration in Ferguson, Mo. This wasn't someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson.
That's putting it mildly. The shootings are just the latest violent act in the Ferguson saga, which began last year when Michael Brown was shot by a police officer. Holder's Justice Department has pretty much exonerated the officer who shot Brown in the violent confrontation. The hands up, don't shoot version of Brown's story was always a lie â one exploited by hucksters such as Al Sharpton and amplified by the media, with tragic results.
But even so, the Justice Department, separately, also laid bare a troubled municipal police force that has lost the trust of the community it serves. There still exists a legitimate complaint, especially among young black men, about their routine interactions with police. And it all comes down to a government too powerful and too greedy, with too much to hide.
