Given that the mainstream media has appeared less interested in this story than in such critical events as royal weddings and the accuracy of Republicans’ references to history, Anchor Rising should help in the effort to prevent it from slipping through the cracks: In Fall of 2009, the Obama Administration conceived Operation Fast and Furious,…
Mark Steyn’s Fourth-of-July-weekend column is a doozy: Big Government on America’s unprecedented money-no-object scale will always be profoundly wasteful (as on that Williamsburg flight), stupid (as at the TSA) and arbitrary (as in those waivers). But it’s not republican in any sense the Founders would recognize. If (like Obama) you’re a lifetime member of the…
Remember when the President of the United States repeated that promise over and over to the American people? Well quite a few of us less-lofty folks predicted this contrary outcome: Once provisions of the Affordable Care Act start to kick in during 2014, at least three of every 10 employers will probably stop offering health…
The opening sentence of an article about events in Libya makes deafening the dog that isn’t barking: Mourners vowed revenge and rattled off heavy gunfire in a Tripoli cemetery on Saturday as they buried nine men they said were Muslim clerics and medics killed in a NATO airstrike in mostly rebel-held eastern Libya.

The actual interruption came right as the show built up to a crest. Apparently, Osama bin Laden has been…
At the end of a long post describing the ease with which President Obama could have ended the birther controversy long ago, Andrew McCarthy concludes as follows: So, assuming as we should the legitimacy of the long-form birth certificate produced yesterday, the only thing that makes sense is that Obama knows the mainstream media is…
It’s not the current president’s fault (although many of us would be inclined to suggest that he hastened the end result), but if Barack Obama wins a second term, it may be that he’ll turn out the lights on the Age of America… at least according to the International Monetary Fund: According to the latest…
In his NRO column, this week Mark Steyn mentions President Obama’s response to an audience having to do with lowering the price of gasoline: He was asked a question by a citizen of the United States. The cost of a gallon of gas has doubled on Obama’s watch, and this gentleman asked, “Is there a…
The fat cats in Washington will soon be telling your children what they can and cannot purchase to eat in school.
