A flood of scandals engulfs Obama

From spinning Benghazi to politicizing the IRS to spying on the AP, a raft of embarrassing revelations is crippling the president

 

The ghosts of Benghazi have not disappeared

And we should still demand answers regarding the Obama administration's disingenuous handling of the attack

 

Stay out of Syria!

In no way is that a fight that should interest Americans; rather, we should be taking great care not to get entangled in it at all.

Immigration issues surrounding the Tsarnaev brothers have almost nothing to do with the Senate's bill

Every year, Team Obama promises to refocus on jobs. And every year, they prove that talk is cheap

 

The GOP should filibuster Chuck Hagel

The potential consequences of incompetence at a Hagel-led Pentagon are impossible to overstate

 

The intertwined fates of Marco Rubio and immigration reform

The bipartisan package won't pass if Rubio backs out. And if Rubio fails on immigration, it could imperil his future political prospects
