Unabomber Ted Kaczynski has been transferred from the Colorado supermax prison to a federal medical facility in North Carolina - a sign the infamous domestic terrorist's health is deteriorating.

On Monday night, Bernie Sanders gave the most Bernielicious answer possible when asked if the Boston Marathon bomber should be allowed to vote from prison. It took him several minutes of disjointed babbling to get to his point that yes, everybody should be able to vote, even somebody who's on death row for planting a bomb right next to an eight-year-old boy.When Kamala Harris was asked to comment on Bernie's ridiculous answer, she said: "I agree that the right to vote is one of the very important components of citizenship, and it is something that people should not be...

The sudden outburst of weepiness for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is truly stomach turning. As a jury decides his sentence, this is a bad time for Beantown’s storied liberalism to rear its soft head.

There’s a new kid on the block, and at this point his career prospects look pretty darn promising. Along with his natural, rock-star charisma, he’s been tutored by high-level management and sponsorship — and combined with the necessary vital “street cred,” his ideological activism, conviction, and dedication to social causes has gotten the full attention of the trend-making twenty-somethings, and of the idol makers of marketing: In the last couple of weeks he’s been charting mainly as #2, with a bullet, but his fame is really blowing up — last week he rolled right over #1, to grab the top...

His mouth is agape. His face is awash in blood. On his right side is a wide gash where doctors cut him open to try to start his heart and save his life. The image of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, dead and naked on a slab, snapped by an unknown person, was emailed repeatedly by law enforcement officers Friday morning. “Suspect 1” was written above the gruesome picture. Seeing a photo of one of the Marathon bombing suspects dead was cathartic, said one law enforcement official who saw the picture.
