The Future of America’s Nuclear Force
Times have changed, but America’s nuclear defense strategy has not. Cato Institute scholars explain how America needs to respond. U.S. power today makes the case for the triad more dubious. Survivability is no longer a feasible justification. No U.S. adversary has the capability to destroy all U.S. ballistic submarines, let alone all three legs, and […]
Debate on Innovation: Andy Kessler and Peter Thiel
I’m looking forward to Andy Kessler’s talk tonight at the Cato 200 Retreat in Laguna Beach, CA. Here’s a recent debate he had with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel on “Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson”.
Obamacare, an American Job Killer

Eric Holder’s Justice Department is attempting to kill off a great school choice program. I have a personal familiarity with this hugely successful school choice program. Americans should rise up against this disgraceful Eric Holder-led effort. As part of its efforts to boost educational opportunities for disadvantaged children, last year Louisiana enacted the Student Scholarships […]
Obamacare Exemption for Congress
Read here how the Obama administration has arranged for Congress to duck out on the Obamacare travesty foisted on American citizens by, yup, Congress. Today, elected officials need to be reminded of these truths. Under pressure from Congress, the White House has carved out a special exemption for Congress and its staffers from ObamaCare—the law […]
Iran Must Agree to Proof
Here the WSJ correctly calls for Iran to support its encouraging rhetoric with proof. […] If true global security is Mr. Obama’s goal, then at a bare minimum any deal would have to halt Iran’s enrichment of uranium, remove the already enriched uranium from the country, close all nuclear sites and provide for robust monitoring […]

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is the most divisive piece of major legislation in the last 100 years. As Michael Cembalest at JP Morgan points out in his “Eye on the Market,” Obamacare has the highest partisanship gap ever. In the House, 87% of Democrats voted Yea, while 0% Republicans voted Yea, […]
