TAMMY BRUCE: How ISIS reached the homeland

ISIS-supporting terrorists launched an attack in San Bernardino, California, last week. While much of the coverage in the aftermath of an assault that murdered 14 people and injured 21 more indicated surprise and shock that Islamic State terror group is here, it shouldn't be a surprise at all.

TAMMY BRUCE: Hypocrisy of HUD’s smoking ban

When HUD Secretary Julian Castro announced a proposed rule to ban smoking in public housing nationwide, the absurdity was too much to bear. Here was another predictable liberal toady from President Obama's regime (and a man very often mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate for Hillary Clinton) sanctimoniously issuing a supposedly grave concern about the health and safety of poor Americans.

TAMMY BRUCE: Hillary Clinton, a case-study in narcissism

After the Benghazi hearing, Hillary's sycophantic mainstream media launched into mission mode declaring her the "winner" and the congressional hearing focusing on what happened the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi a failed and the old, reliable right-wing conspiracy.

TAMMY BRUCE: Misguided mammogram guidelines

There has been lots of discussion about the new American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines regarding breast cancer screenings. With the advent of Obamacare, many of us warned that the federal government's involvement in healthcare would mean a reduction in services, lack of general access to doctors and a rationing of care.

TAMMY BRUCE: How Carly Fiorina dominated the GOP debate

And the race is on. I've been generally open-minded about the Republican candidates this time around. We all know what it's like to have a favorite early on, only to have the chaos of campaigns spin everything around to the point where we're chanting "There's no place like home, there's no place like home" by the end of the night.

TAMMY BRUCE: Veterans die waiting for care

Would you be outraged if I told you the federal government gathered 300,000 of our veterans, marched them onto 200 ocean liners the size of Titanic, dispatched them out into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, then sank every ship and sent all those Americans to their deaths?

Illustration on Democrats’ attitude toward women by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Democrats take women for granted

It must be admitted. There is a war on women. The Democrats have been screaming about this for years, and they should know. Because the war is their war on women all across the socioeconomic spectrum.

TAMMY BRUCE: EPA’s toxic adventure

Imagine an agency charged with protecting the environment, aptly named the Environmental Protection Agency. Because, you see, we need to protect the environment, and we need a government cudgel with which to do it.

TAMMY BRUCE: Liberal obsession with power leads to failed governance

Most of the talk after the Republican debates last week has been focusing on individual personalities, who seemed presidential (Fiorina), who was angriest (Paul), and funniest (Huckabee). While I still disagree with Chris Christie's policies and general attitude, he did rather well as a focused and steady bureaucratic manager, even when being confronted by the Angriest Candidate in the World, Rand Paul.

TAMMY BRUCE: Questions for Obama on Iran

There's nothing quite like the look of a jerk whose smug omniscience gets shattered by a singular sound -- that of a reporter asking a serious question. Normally, the only sound President Obama experiences from journalists is the slurping one hears when boots are being licked.

Illustration on Oregon and the effects of Liberal statism by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Oregon’s financial incompetence is just one sign of liberalism run amok

As most of the world points,laughs and gives the headshake to Greece over its socialist-driven economic meltdown, Americans don't need to look east to see the scourge of liberal policies. Look west to the state of Oregon, and you'll see our very own fascist chaos wrapped in concern-troll self-righteousness that would make every failed leftist politician blush.
