Zakaria: 'Violent Response' to Terrorism Is 'Mistake,' 'Stokes Jihad'
On Sunday's Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN, host Zakaria suggested that it would be a "mistake" for the West to make a "swift and violent response" to the Paris terrorist attacks because doing so "further stokes the fires of jihad." He plugged an upcoming segment: "Coming up, it's an all too familiar pattern. A well-planned attack on the West, followed by a swift and violent response that further…

Pajama Boy Appears in GE Commercial
Okay, he isn't THE Pajama Boy but a Pajama Boy that has appeared in a GE commercial for the past few weeks who was obviously inspired by the original. Should you doubt that this is very close copy of the original Pajama Boy, the dialogue should convince you. Meanwhile the original Pajama Boy has failed to capitalize on his notoriety and has faded into relative obscurity as a blogger hyping a…

AP Avoids Reporting Obama's Callous 'We Have Contained ISIS' Statement
As of early this morning, Matt Drudge was carrying a link to a story headlining how President Obama is "under fire for saying ISIS 'contained' just hours before Paris attack."
Well, Obama is under some fire, but Drudge's link is to coverage at the UK Daily Mail. That's unfortunately unsurprising, because there is little to no mention of Obama's naive, foolish and callous statement in the U.S.…

Brookings Expert Suggests Only One Terrorist Among All Refugees
Last night at dinner a relative from NYC who described himself as a "bleeding heart liberal" opposed cutting off the immigration of Syrian refugees because in his view that would run counter to American traditions. He's a great guy, but that is a dangerous misinterpretation. We have no obligation to commit collective suicide.
What's more troubling is that supposed experts on the subject are…

WashPost Critic: Heroic Liberal Reporter Movie Like 'Watching Porn'
Washington Post movie critic Ann Hornaday disclosed a bit too much Friday about the power trip that media elitists go on to save the world from evil -- in this case, the Catholic Church. "For journalists, watching Spotlight's meticulous portrayal of their vocation is a surpassingly gratifying experience, one that former Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon, at the film's local premiere in September…

On multiple occasions throughout CNN’s post-Democratic debate analysis late Saturday night, liberal CNN commentator and Atlantic writer Peter Beinart dared to step out and criticize Hillary Clinton for her debate performance on foreign policy and the Democratic Party as a whole for being “very vague” and “nonspecific” on an issue where “polls show people trust Republicans.”

Chad Henderson Walls Off Twitter Account After NewsBusters Criticism
We'll have to live without Chad Henderson's tweets for the time being. Once again, Henderson, as he did in 2013, has taken his Twitter account private, limiting it to "confirmed followers." This time he likely did so in reaction to a NewsBusters post earlier this afternoon by P.J. Gladnick.
Henderson first gained notoriety during the initial Obamacare sign-up process in late 2013 when he claimed…
