A University of California at Berkeley professor has found a way to potentially boost the efficiency of solar cells and make solar competitive with fossil fuels. Here MIT Technology Review breaks the details. The world’s most efficient solar cells are twice as efficient as the ones people put on their roofs, but hardly anyone uses […]

Too Big to Change
Where did the news go? After being front and center for over a week, you are hard pressed to find even a short paragraph on the Veteran Affairs Department and how the “toxic milieu” is going to be righted. Now we have senators Bernie Sanders and John McCain announcing a bipartisan deal on legislation to […]
Belly-Up Cockroaches
Remember the Building 18 scandal? No? Well refresh your memory here. We’re talking 2007, and the target is Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. I remember the mouse droppings, belly-up cockroaches, Walter Reed horror story like it was yesterday, and I am not even a U.S. senator like John McCain or Bernie Sanders, the crack […]
Inside Look: VA Scandal
“This debacle continues to be run out in the news cycle…albeit taking a back seat to the Bergdahl debacle for now. Major systemic malfeasance took place in the VA and I imagine that this will continue to be a major issue going forward, to the chagrin of Bernie Sanders and Paul Krugman who have suggested […]
A Stink from the Rose Garden
Much of what is being put forth by the Obama administration as well as the media about the just-released Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl appears to be questionable. For example, Susan Rice’s statement that Bergdahl “served with honor and distinction” has raised a furor with those soldiers who served with the sergeant. They believe that Bergdahl, before […]
The VA’s $151 Billion Tab
That is for this year alone! And the VA now has a case-processing backlog of a staggering 344,000! And just what benefits have been delivered to America by almost a decade and a half of Bush/Obama foreign entanglements? Sadly the outcome has been no different than was the case with Korea and Vietnam. And now […]
Red-States Win, Again
Good small business policies such as low tax rates and right-to-work laws are the ingredients for a successful state. These states tend to be red-states. Screaming liberals want equality for all. And yet it’s the liberal blue-states that are the biggest losers of businesses and have greater income inequality. Stephen Moore and Richard Vedder give […]
Obamacare—a Job Killer
Cato Institute presents an article by University of Chicago researcher Casey B. Mulligan suggesting that Obamacare will have effects “beyond what the law intended, including the incentive to work.” Mulligan writes that, due to two separate ACA provisions, a specific group of workers—women, the young, and those already working 30-35 hours—are likely to have “their […]
VIDEO: Toobin Says Obama Broke the Law
Jeffrey Toobin, CNN legal analyst, is confident that President Obama has broken the law by trading five Taliban members for U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl.
Governing by Executive Order
With Monday’s EPA pronouncement, President Obama just made good on his campaign promise that he would “necessarily bankrupt” anyone with the audacity to build a new coal-fired electric station. Even though the EPA’s own computer model shows that the president’s proposed regulations would reduce global warming by around 0.02 (or less) of a degree Celsius […]
