Terrorist Merger 

Anti-trust regulators at the Justice Department are monitoring a potential merger involving Halliburton. They want to make sure Halliburton doesn't get a monopoly on the drilling market. But the real threat to America is not a merger of oil drilling giants. The real threat is a merger of jihadists, which just happened. 

The Associated Press reports that key figures in ISIS and Al Qaeda recently met in northern Syria and agreed to join forces in their fight against the Assad regime and moderate rebel factions. This is bad news. 

Obama's Priorities 

It was announced today to much fanfare that President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping have reached an agreement to dramatically reduce carbon emissions. Really? Carbon emissions? 

That speaks volumes about Obama's priorities. By the way, while Obama's worried about global warming, another polar vortex is hitting the country, bringing record cold temperatures and snow to several states. 

The Compromise Trap 

In the days since last week's historically disastrous election for President Obama and his liberal allies, the chattering class of TV talking heads, professional analysts and pollsters (the same experts who told us there would not be a wave election) has been telling conservatives what the election meant and what they are required to do. Establishment Republicans ought to reject the media's false narrative.

Obama: "I Hear You". . . Not! 

The Washington Post continued its post-election coverage with a front page story today headlined, "Obama To Voters: I Hear You." That is what Obama said, but no one believes it -- not even the Post'sliberal columnists. 

I don't think Obama believes it ether. During his press conference yesterday, Obama made a bizarre statement that hasn't gotten the attention I think it deserves.
