JOSEPH FARAH — When Ann Coulter glided on to the scene in the 1990s, she instantly became the fresh, new, energetic face of American conservatism. She was smart, sassy, brash and attractive.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER — I repeat: I'm not a global warming believer. I'm not a global warming denier. I've long believed that it cannot be good for humanity to be spewing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I also believe that those scientists who pretend to know exactly what this will cause in 20, 30 or 50 years are white-coated propagandists.... (more)

(more)

February 22, 2014
JOSEPH FARAH — How rotten is the moral soul of journalism in America today? It is so decayed, putrefied and morbidly disordered that there has been less than a whisper of concern expressed by the entire establishment media over the Orwellian plot by the Federal Communications Commission to place "researchers" in U.S. newsrooms to learn how editorial decisions are made....

February 22, 2014

(more)
