Pelosi's Grip Seems to Have Weakened
By Michael Barone
No one in Washington much cares what House Democrats do these days. House rules tend to ensure that the main job of members of the minority is to show up, vote "no" and lose. And in the next Congress, Democrats will have fewer seats in the House than they've had since 1929 and 1930.
Moral Befuddlement in Ferguson
By Pat Buchanan
"It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."Edmund Burke's insight returned to mind while watching cable news coverage of the rampage in Ferguson, Missouri, after St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Medical Marijuana in Florida by the End of 2016 -- We're Not Stopping!
By Ben Pollara
Some 3,370,761 people -- almost 58 percent -- voted for medical marijuana in Florida. This total -- half a million more than Gov. Rick Scott and almost 900,000 more than voted no -- is clear proof that the people of Florida want a medical marijuana law.
Time to Stop the Moderator Masochism
By L. Brent Bozell
On an interview tour for his new book on President Obama, NBC's Chuck Todd told Larry King that his conversations with Obama are "very nourishing." Even after six or seven years of adoration, reporters still sound like then-NBC reporter Lee Cowan admitting in 2008 that being assigned to the Obama campaign made his "knees quake." He wondered if "he could do the campaign justice," since it was "truly historic."

By Mona Charen
During the 2012 campaign, President Obama often resorted to his favorite substitute for thinking: ridicule. Before enthusiastic audiences (who were assured his re-election would spell a thriving economy and a revived middle class), the president would mock Republicans by suggesting that "they have the same prescription they've had for the past 30 years. ... Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning."
Alienating People Doesn't Help Democrats Win Many Elections
By Lloyd Brown
One of the more delicious aspects of the recent election is that the biggest supporter of Democrats the powerful teachers' union bosses may have cost Democrats the election.
Recalling Rockefeller
By George Will
WASHINGTON -- Seen through the prism of subsequent national experience, Nelson Rockefeller resembles a swollen post-war automobile -- a land yacht with tail fins, a period piece, bemusing and embarrassing. He remains, however, instructive.
Securities Regulators Help Combat Fraud and Protect Floridians
By Drew J. Breakspear
Since I became commissioner of the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) in 2012, protecting consumers and increasing the safety of Floridas securities industry has been one of my teams highest priorities.
The Climate Pact Swindle
By Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON -- Historic. Such is the ubiquitous description of the climate agreement recently announced in Beijing between Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in which China promised for the first time to cap carbon emissions.
Just Don't Call It Islamic
By Mona Charen
The Islamic State beheaded another American this week. The Obama administration's response revealed its stubborn determination to deny reality.
