WSJ: Syrian Rebel Leader Fears Obama Policy Strengthening Assad's Hand

While the liberal media predictably focus on the domestic political ramifications for President Obama as regards his strange and ever-evolving policy on Syria, the real story worth reporting is how Obama may actually be strengthening Bashar Assad's hand, even making him "a national hero" who can not only survive but thrive as a result.

Malkin Column: 9/11 Is America's Unfinished Business

Before we head to Syria to avenge the mass murder of their kids, how about we finish avenging ours ? When I say "finish," of course I really mean "start." A dozen years after the 9/11 attacks, the trials against the jihadist plotters who incinerated pregnant women, firefighters, grandparents, newlyweds, toddlers and schoolkids on their first-ever plane rides have yet to begin.

Consider Yourself Warned, Apple, Sharpton Wants Bite Out of You

File under predictable news -- peerless grievance-monger Al Sharpton has found another target to shake down for insufficient diversity in hiring and upper management.

NBC’s Chuck Todd: Bad PR To Blame For ObamaCare’s Unpopularity

President Obama’s signature health care law continues to lose support, but NBC’s Chuck Todd sees no problem with the law itself.
