Republican Rebellion There is a rebellion brewing in the House Republican ranks -- a "mini-mutiny" as one columnist put it -- against Speaker John Boehner. Two conservatives, Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Ted Yoho of Florida, are putting their names forward as candidates for speaker of the House. |

Grimm Gone Late yesterday evening, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) announced that he would resign from Congress effective January 5th -- one day before the new Congress formally meets. Grimm's resignation was necessitated by last week's guilty plea on charges of tax evasion, which could send him to jail for three years. First elected in 2010, Grimm has been dogged by allegations of campaign finance violations since January 2012. The Justice Department has been investigating Grimm for two years. |

| A Good Week for Tyrants, The Left's Hate Speech |
A Good Week For Tyrants Castro is crowing in Cuba. The mullahs are merry in Tehran. Kim Jong-un is kicking it up in North Korea. Saturday, Cuban President Raul Castro delivered an hour-long victory speech before the Cuban National Assembly. The communist spies released by Obama were given a hero's welcome. A gloating Castro declared, "Now we've really won the war." |
| NYPD Officers Assassinated, The Response |
New York Officers Assassinated The mob that marched through a New York City neighborhood chanting, "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" had to wait a whole week before getting its hellish wish. Sadly, these disgusting murders were predictable. |
| Obama's Meaningless Response, The Left's Assault On Christmas, Cruise To Alaska |
Obama's Meaningless Response Proving that appeasement never works, the North Korean hackers are now making additional demands of Sony. According to CNN, Sony executives received a new threat last night stating: "It's very wise that you have made the decision to cancel the release of The Interview. . . . Now we want you [to] never let the movie [be] released, distributed or leaked in any form . . . And we want everything related to the movie, including its trailers . . . down from any website hosting them immediately." |
| Christmas For Dictators, Sony's Surrender, Democrats In Decline |
Obama's Christmas For Dictators Dictators all over the world are receiving the gift they desired most -- America handcuffed by a president intent on giving them whatever they want. Yesterday it was the Castro brothers turn to sit on Obama's lap and get their goodies. Cuba's communist government has its back against the wall. Russia is reeling from falling oil prices and couldn't bail Cuba out. The same is true for Cuba's socialist ally, Venezuela. And then along comes "Obama Claus." |
| Obama Coddles Castro, Our Dangerous World, Establishment Primary |
Obama Coddles Castro Today at the White House, amid great fanfare, President Obama announced a new policy toward Cuba. But it is nothing more than the same old left-wing appeasement. Obama declared that America's foreign policy toward Cuba -- instituted by John F. Kennedy and carried out by subsequent Democratic and Republican administrations -- was "outdated." The president said, "We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different result." |
| America Stands Tough, A Teachable Moment, Jihadists Slaughter Schoolchildren, Happy Chanukah |
America Stands Tough On National Security The left is losing the debate over the use of enhanced interrogation techniques after the 9/11 attacks. A Pew Research Center poll finds that 51% of Americans feel the enhanced interrogation methods were justified. Only 29% feel there were not justified. Fifty-six percent of Americans believe the enhanced interrogation techniques provided useful intelligence, while 28% said they did not. |
