Another Reason for the Rise of Trump Politico has another reason why Donald Trump is doing so well. The GOP is structuring a plan on Obamacare to do an end run around Senate Conservatives while making it look like they've done something on Obamacare. Follow along with me. According to Jennifer Haberkorn and Rachael Bade, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) says, ""I think we need to find some way to arrive at something like a Ryan-Murray II and if that's one of the mechanisms that gets us there, I'm all for it." Read More

Turns out Mitt Romney was right, and OPM Director Katherine Archuleta was wrong.

The New York Times' War on Ted Cruz Not all political manifestos are worth reading; most frankly aren't worth picking up. Candidates vying for high office peddle books penned by ghost writers to capture some cash and, more importantly, media attention. But whatever the motive behind the publishing or quality of the writing, one would hope that bestseller lists would accurately reflect when a book written by a politician is garnering some noteworthy sales. Thursday evening, Dylan Byers of POLITICO broke the news that The New York Times is refusing to place Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100%'s new book, "A Time for Truth," on its bestseller list. The list is a coveted ranking of books cataloged by popularity of sales. Byers reported… Read More

'Climate scientists' are psychologically fragile That's not me saying that. It's New York Magazine. "Every year brings a new batch of data regarding the progression and likely effects of climate change, and the results are almost always worse than previous models had predicted. In fact, they're frankly terrifying: rapid and accelerating deterioration of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets that will yield massive sea-level rise and submerge coastal cities; paralyzing drought on continental interiors that will lead to Dust Bowl–style famine; and incredibly powerful floods and storms that happen more frequently — five times as often now, in fact, as in the 1970s."

Vox Pundit: American Revolution Was Bad, Abolish Senate & Constitution Alas, writing for Vox while claiming to be a "wonk" or pundit doesn't mean you actually contribute meaningful and worthwhile things to the public discussion. Dylan Matthews is a self-absorbed blogger who, fortunately, has all the wisdom the Founding Fathers lacked and has studied the issues of history and constitutional government so deeply and broadly that he can making sweeping proclamations about the folly of such things as the Constitution and the American Revolution.

Lamar Alexander Is No Conservative Hero Word around DC is that Sen. Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) staff has been making noise lately about how much better a conservative he is than, for example, someone like Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) of South Carolina. This is interesting news, considering that the House passed a new, union-loved version of No Child Left Behind yesterday. Interesting because a certain someone is all gooey happy about that. His name rhymes with Mamar Malexmander, and he'll be there for the Senate vote on the bill. Read More

Obama's Chairman of the Joint Chief nominee: Russia is an 'existential threat' to the United States In the 2012 presidential debate between the congenitally smarmy and clownish Barack Obama and the hapless and fearful of offending Mitt Romney, Barack Obama leveled this charge against Romney… Read More
