A dozen barely used C-27J Spartans have been mothballed at the “boneyard” of American aircraft, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tuscon, Arizona.

What Gov. Scott Walker Can Teach America
Here you read how Wisconsin has been made business friendly and fiscally sound. Governor Scott Walker outlines his reform agenda in the Washington Post. Like most Americans, I think government is too big and too expansive, but the government that is necessary should work — and work well. Working with the state legislature, we took a […]

The National Park Service’s Disgrace
Here you learn about a truly disgraceful situation. The conduct of the National Park Service over the last week might be the biggest scandal of the Obama administration. This is an expansive claim, of course. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS, the NSA, the HHS mandate—this is an administration that has not lacked for appalling […]

Are Democrats “Winning” the Shutdown?
Andrew Stiles at National Review calls into question whether or not Democrats have the upper hand in the shutdown battle. An anonymous White House aide recently boasted, “It doesn’t really matter to us” how long it lasts, because “we are winning.” But one wonders how long that ruse will last, as the president, whose approval rating […]
