"When you see MSNBC attacking [Hillary Clinton] from the left, you realize, I think, just how far MSNBC has gone," Media Research Center president and founder Brent Bozell quipped on today's edition of Fox Business Network's Varney & Co., responding to host Stuart Varney's observation that the former Secretary of State is beginning to see some tough treatment in the media, albeit perhaps from her left. But by and large, Bozell noted, the liberal media are still taking Hillary's abuse lying down

Former Spokane NAACP president Rachel Dolezal sued Howard University in 2002 for allegedly discriminating against her because she’s white, according to court documents obtained by the Smoking Gun. Dolezal, who has claimed to be black for several years, said the school refused to hire her for teaching posts and denied her scholarships because of her race.

The Ferguson protests and riots were never a grassroots movement. The mob action was a carefully coordinated Soros-funded astroturf movement bent on destruction. ...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is calling on Republicans in the House—and the grassroots nationwide—to oppose efforts by House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to revive Obamatrade via a tax increase hidden inside the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) portion of the deal.

Rachel Dolezal, who resigned as president of the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington, chapter on Monday, filed a lawsuit against Howard University in 2002 alleging that she was discriminated against because she was white. This week, Dolezal made national headlines when her parents revealed their daughter was actually white and had...

Ann is the only woman I know of where men (including myself and Anthony Cumia) regularly say, “I want to be her.” We don’t mean a pretty 50-something with long blonde hair. We mean a respected iconoclast who gets away with talking in public the way we all talk in private. The reason Coulter gets away with this kind of behavior is she’s done her homework. That’s the hard part. It’s one thing to say, “If you don’t want to get killed by ISIS, don’t go to Syria but if you don’t want to get killed by a Mexican, there’s nothing I can tell you.” It’s another thing to have done so much research on the subject that not only can you prove immigrant crime is way worse than we thought but you can also explain why nobody knows about it. The short answer is “Carlos Slim.” The long and much more interesting answer is “Adios, America” which is her new book and we focus on that for this episode.

Trade is dominating the current political discussion. Unfortunately, because the debate is a bit esoteric and features several different issues, much of the discourse is muddied by ignorance and confusion. ...

I thought about this as I read a new book from the Fraser Institute called The Essential Hayek. The book shares the ideas of Friedrich A. Hayek in a simple to read short book: Nobel laureate economist F.A.Hayek first revolutionized economists' understanding of markets, and then profoundly challenged the public's understanding of government. Hayek is one of only a few social scientists over the past 200 years who thoroughly rethought the relationship between individual people and both the market and the state. While countless works have discussed the importance of Hayek and his ideas, none have focused on making his core ideas accessible to average people. This volume highlights and explains Hayek's basic insights in plain language to ensure that his critical ideas about the nature of society are both accessible and enduring.In Chapter 9 on 'The challenge of living successfully in modern society,' the author, Donald J.Boudreaux shares Hayek's wisdom on the problems with treating the greater society like our extended family:Part of our present difficulty is that we must constantly adjust our lives, our thoughts and our emotions, in order to live simultaneously within the different kinds of orders according to different rules. If we were to apply the unmodified, uncurbed, rules of the micro-cosmos (i.e. of the small band or troop, or of, say, our families) to the macro-cosmos (our wider civilisation), as our instincts and sentimental yearnings often make us wish to do, we would destroy it. Yet if we were always to apply the rules of the extended order to our more intimate groupings, we would crush them. So we must learn to live in two sorts of world at once. The book points out that for those that we know, love and care for, it makes sense to make economic decisions not commercially, but by mutual agreement or with mom or dad making decisions. However, this works because the people involved know each other and can figure out what approach works best (unless dysfunctional which is also common these days). But the same cannot be said of strangers; we do not know what is best for other people we don't know. In this case, it is best to follow impersonal rules with 'arms length' exchanges and contracts. 'These exchanges and contracts give rise to market prices. These prices, in turn, guide each of us to act productively--both as consumers and as producers--with the increasingly large numbers of strangers who make our modern lives possible.'As the media and government focus on making strangers personal friends and focus on 'doing something' to relieve the suffering, it can often be a mistake. These practices can be counterproductive and lead to negative outcomes such as people and thus, the country becoming less productive over time.Nowadays, over 50 percent of the population wants stuff for free as they relax on their parent's couch and eat potato chips. But 'a government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.' It's just a matter of time. Hayek knew this and he will be forever relevant.

Is this a way to get the United States into a Pacific Union, as Senator Sessions lays out, that is very much like the European Union?”

Because the Sunday Washington Post especially loves tweaking the God-fearing Americans on the Lord’s Day, not only does the Post magazine carry an atheist mom’s car talk with a nine-year old, but they picked Sunday to promote Kathy Griffin’s upcoming Kennedy Center show. “The Kennedy Center audience is notoriously smart and open-minded and diverse,” Griffin oozed. “I’m going to have my vets there, and I’m going to have my soccer moms, and I’m going to have my LGBTQIA2s — I keep up with all the letters and numbers.” And as expected, she ripped into the Duggars:

On Friday's Anderson Cooper 360, during a discussion of revelations that Spokane NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal is a white woman who has spent years pretending to be black, liberal CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill oddly asserted that her actions constitute "the ultimate exercise in white privilege." Ironically, after enumerating several reasons why blacks may want to pretend to be white for gain instead of the reverse, Hill ended up fretting that Dolzal may have deprived the university that hired her of being able to discriminate against her for being white if they wanted to hire an actual African-American to teach African-American studies.
