A Deranged Anti-Semite Accuses Me of Libel
(John Hinderaker) I wrote earlier this week about a 9/11 Truther named Kevin Barrett. Barrett once taught at the University of Wisconsin, where his belief that the United States government, in conjunction with Israel, carried out the September 11 attacks made him controversial. Back in 2006, Barrett's crackpot views were seen as an issue of academic freedom, and the University of Wisconsin rejected suggestions that Barrett was an inappropriate person to have

Obama Refused Plan to Stop ISIS?
(Steven Hayward) It is well-established that President Bill Clinton more than once in the 1990s refused to capture or kill Osama bin Laden when we had him in our grasp—a fact that Clintons and their retainers have go to great length to deny or obfuscate, including their frantic efforts first to edit and then suppress the TV movie "The Path to 9/11."

Exit Trump?
(Steven Hayward) There have been a lot of stories in recent days, typically second-hand from supposed "insiders," that Trump ran for president mostly as a way of elevating his "brand," hoping for a second-place finish perhaps to increase his political clout, but never thinking he actually might win this thing. John Fund quotes a former staffer to this effect: Stephanie Cegielski . . . this week wrote an impassioned article describing how
