Ed Morrissey: As Eli Lake reports, the DHS has all but declared war on federalism, which used to be the founding concept of our republic…This is a disgrace.  Congress should demand Napolitano’s resignation immediately, and the White House should apologize for this attack on normal political dissent.

Paul Mirengoff: I’ve always considered the passive, blame-America-first left beyond parody. However, Abe Greenwald has gone a long way to change my mind. “Let’s face it: on Sunday, we only created more pirates.”

Heaven And Earth…has been written by one of Australia’s foremost Earth scientists, Professor Ian Plimer: The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology. “But evidence no longer matters. And any contrary work published in peer-reviewed journals is just ignored. We are told that the science on human-induced global warming is settled. Yet the claim by some scientists that the threat of human-induced global warming is 90 per cent certain (or even 99 per cent) is a figure of speech. It has no mathematical or evidential basis.”
