Russia and China Are Using Hacked Data to Identify and Neutralize U.S. Agents
(John Hinderaker) This is one of the great scandals of the Obama administration–really, of the post-war era. But our Democratic Party media, fearful of what may be coming in next year's presidential election, have consistently downplayed it. The Los Angeles Times reports: "Foreign spies use hacked data to identify U.S. intelligence agents." Foreign spy services, especially in China and Russia, are aggressively aggregating and cross-indexing hacked U.S. computer databases — including security

Now, a freshly-minted Monmouth poll has Carson tied with Trump at 23 percent. According to Monmouth, this marks the first time since late July

Accused murderer of Texas deputy sheriff had extensive criminal record
(Paul Mirengoff) We frequently hear that America suffers from over-incarceration. We should not dismiss these claims out-of-hand. But neither should we dismiss the possibility of under-incarceration.

My sense that we may be under-incarcerating stems in part from reports about the criminal records of certain
