John Podhoretz
By keeping most tax rates at present levels, Obama and the Democrats will claim that they have championed tax cuts for the middle class.
John Podhoretz
In 2013, there were 6,261 black homicide victims in the US — almost all killed by black civilians.
John Podhoretz
I think making a pretense of civility toward Eric Alterman is like making a pretense of civility to a scorpion.
John Podhoretz
I've worked as someone's deputy, and now it's time for me to run something. It's time for me to run my own shop.
John Podhoretz
