An appeals court in Texas ruled 2-1 to deny an attempt by Breitbart News’ Brandon Darby to overturn a lower court decision that tossed his defamation case against The New York Times. The three-judge panel, however, was unanimous in agreeing that the Times had not proven that Darby had “encouraged” a left-wing terrorist plot. They split on the issue of whether, as a public figure, Darby could show that the Times had acted with “malice” — a very high standard, albeit one that the dissenting judge felt Darby should have the chance to prove.
Secretary of State John Kerry complained on Sunday’s edition of NBC News’ Meet the Press that Vladimir Putin was playing by “19th century” rules, not 21st century norms, in his invasion of the Ukranian region of Crimea. Insisting that “President Putin

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives in the United States this week, he will no doubt have taken heed of President Barack Obama’s weak response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. President Vladminir Putin crossed Obama’s “line”–just as Syrian dictator Bashar
Aside from–obviously–the Ukraine, there are several major losers in the Russian invasion. There is President Barack Obama, who has yet again been outmaneuvered by Russian President Vladimir Putin. There are the media, who predicted that the invasion would not happen.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has humiliated President Barack Obama. He advanced soldiers into the Crimea–into the sovereign territory of Ukraine–without uniforms, in apparent violation of the laws of war. He knew that Obama would not dare complain–that the White House

March 1 marks the second anniversary of the passing of my friend and colleague, Andrew Breitbart. He was the Tea Party’s greatest defender, and Occupy Wall Street’s most effective critic. He saw the former as an authentic popular movement fighting
The State Department’s latest report on human rights worldwide presents a grim account of continuing abuses by Iran, which persisted in spite of–and during–the election of supposed “moderate” Hassan Rouhani. In fact, Rouhani’s election was listed first in the department’s
I received an email yesterday from “The Network of Spiritual Progressives,” a group run by the left-wing Rabbi Michael Lerner and devoted to spreading love a peace throughout the world. The Spiritual Progressives can be counted on to join anti-war

It’s Israeli Apartheid Week at campuses across North America–that annual tradition in which ignorant leftist youth attempt to demonize the only open society in the Middle East. At UCLA, one of the main highlights of the week was a student
Paul Krugman, as usual, is leading the left media through the looking-glass–and this time the distortions are not only bizarre but deeply disturbing. Krugman argued several days ago that many of the Obamacare “horror stories” are, in fact, “hooey.” That
I’ve written previously about the actual text of SB 1062, the controversial Arizona bill that critics say would allow business owners to discriminate against gays. The bill creates a legal defense against discrimination lawsuits for business owners who have a
You probably have an opinion about the Arizona legislature’s controversial new bill, SB 1062, awaiting signature or veto by Gov. Jan Brewer. You may have complained that it reinstates “Jim Crow” by allowing businesses to refuse to serve gays. You
