New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has apparently cast his lot with the War Dogs of intervention. In a speech before “philanthropists,” Christie sat at the same table with one Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire supporter of John McCain and a strident War Dog. History is clear, a policy of military intervention has paid no dividends for […]

Statist’s Thunder Clap
Big government is not just a problem, it is the problem. As Debbie and I complete our month-long visit in France, it is clear that this condition applies even more strongly in France than it does in America. Politicians across not only France, but also all of the EU, are about to feel the wrath […]
The “Triumph” of Socialized Medicine
Another scandal and, once again, Barack Obama is shocked and saddened by the tragic VA mess. And what action does our outraged president take? He lets go—indeed he does—the VA health official who was already scheduled to retire in less than a month. The VA currently allocates around $10,000 per year, per veteran. Charles Krauthammer […]

FN Party President Marine le Pen, seen here at a campaign rally in 2012.
