Sept. 10th Democrats
By Peter Hoekstra

Is it fair to say that Congressional Democrats and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama have a "September 10th" mindset on U.S. national security? While Democrats vigorously object to this charge, evidence is mounting that this is indeed the case.

By a "September 10th" mindset, I mean the naïve national security positions advocated by Democrats until September 10, 2001 that failed to focus on real threats to our nation. These positions included favoring after-the-fact litigation against foreign terrorists, over preventing attacks by maximizing our intelligence and military resources.

A Stock Tip from... Ann Coulter?

Do you know which special interest has given more money to the Obama and Clinton campaigns than any other?

If you guessed "trial lawyers" -- well, okay, that's too easy. But can you guess which special interest came in second?

Labor unions? Nope. The Green Lobby? Nope. AARP? Wrong, again. NEA? Nyet.

Give up? Okay, here's the answer...

5. Only One Justice Away from Being French
by A.W.R. Hawkins

The more news coverage of the Supreme Court's "historic" decision upholding the Second Amendment I saw the more depressed I became. Though I'm grateful for the way the decision fell, I could not help being appalled by the fact that only 5 out of 9 justices now believe that the Constitution is constitutional. In short, the United States is only one liberal Supreme Court justice away from being judicially transformed into France.

4. DC Gun Ban Blown Away
by Ted Nugent

As I swab down one of my hundreds of privately owned, individually possessed firearms again this fine morning, I snicker and shake my head in disbelief that there are four "justices" on the "supreme" court that do not believe Americans have individual rights. Sure, I am somewhat pleased that we now have a SCOTUS confirmation of the self-evident truth and God given individual right to keep and bear arms, but the 5-4 ruling is another painful example, like Guantanamo and the decree against the death penalty for child rapist decisions that indicate a divisive culture war raging on, and four supreme justices frighteningly disconnected from the heart and soul of America.

3. The War Inside NBC
by Jed Babbin

The guest list for the funeral mass for "Meet the Press" anchor Tim Russert was an "A list" of politicians and media mentionables. Real reporters mixed with the television personalities and the network executives who control their lives. It was a black day for journalism in NBC: Russert's death released one of the last brakes slowing NBC's descent into political activism and journalistic irrelevance.

2. Barack Obama's Veepstakes: A List of Possibles
by Andrew Brandenburg

With Sen. Barack Obama securing the Democratic presidential nomination next comes the veepstakes. Here are some of the top contenders for the second banana slot on the Obama ticket.

Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.)
Bayh was the 13th most conservative Democratic senator in 2007, with a composite liberal score of 62.2, according to National Journal. Choosing a more conservative running mate may be what Obama needs to even out his track record. Obama's own composite liberal score of 95.5 made him 2007's most liberal senator.

1. HE Exclusive: Interview with Boris Johnson
by Terry Easton

Just 8 weeks ago, on May 2nd, Boris Johnson, the Conservative MP for Henley-on-Thames and former Editor of The Spectator, was elected by a huge 500,000 majority as the new Mayor of London. Overnight, Boris, the blond-haired raconteur and libertarian conservative became Britain's second most powerful politician, holding court over Europe's largest city of 8 million citizens.
