Hannity sure likes that phrase

Bernie Sanders persisted in using shopworn stats on income inequality and Hillary Rodham Clinton glossed over the well-heeled donors to her campaign in the latest Democratic presidential debate. Some of the claims in the debate Saturday night and how they compare with the facts: CLINTON: "Since we last debated in Las Vegas, nearly 3,000 people have been killed by guns. Two hundred children have been killed. This is an emergency." She said that in the same period there have been 21 mass shootings, "including one last weekend in Des Moines where three were murdered." THE FACTS: The claim appears to...

With another shoe dropping in the Hillary Clinton scandal nearly every day, America is witnessing an unprecedented spectacle. Never in modern times has a presidential candidate been so tarnished — and yet also so popular. Oops, there was one other time. Actually, two. Those were the times when Bill Clinton ran for president. Like her husband, Hillary’s a human Rorschach test. He captured the White House twice without ever winning a majority of the popular vote, and polls paint an eerily similar challenge for her. Half the country thinks she is fundamentally dishonest and untrustworthy. The other half is ready...

>Via Philip Klein, who says after watching this that if Hillary has merely “evolved” on gay marriage then Peter Parker merely “changed slightly” after being bit by that spider. I don’t begrudge anyone a sincere reversal on SSM; I had one myself, like millions of people over the past 10 years. But she’s laying it on awfully thick here. It’s one thing to weigh the pros and cons of gay marriage and change your mind, it’s another thing to decide, hey, maybe this “sacred bond” on which all of civilization is based isn’t so important after all.Quick — Hillary Clinton...

Saying that her main regret during her years as secretary of State is the terror attack on the Benghazi diplomatic annex in Libya and the deaths of four Americans, Hillary Clinton continues her cover-up. Even as she expresses her regrets, she pretends that the reason she did not act to beef up security at the compound, and that she lied afterward, blaming the attack on an Internet video, was “imperfect” intelligence information. In fact, as the records released by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee make clear, she had all the relevant facts before her — and just ignored them. Here’s...

Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., a Democratic Presidential candidate, was accused of plagiarism while in his first year at Syracuse University Law School, academic officials familiar with Mr. Biden's record said today. Mr. Biden, who as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is presiding over the hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Robert H. Bork, has called a news conference for 9 A.M. Thursday to discuss this charge and reports that he has lifted material from speeches by other politicians to use in his public addresses. A Biden aide, who asked not to be identified, declined to comment...

At just a little over 2 feet tall, he's more of a giant than many have ever been or will ever be. Born with a rare disorder called congenital amputation, the young man has only three joints and no elbows or knees. One of his mottos is "It's not what I can do; it's what I will do." For 18 years, he has learned to maximize every ability he has. Likely viewed by many as handicapped, just what abilities could he have? Try these on for size — a 35-16 wrestling record in the state of Georgia and a 3.7...
