Bullying Climate Skeptics
With the majority of Americans not convinced that “climate change” (remember when it was called “global warming?”) requires the comprehensive political controls on American energy and industry that the Obama administration would like to see in place, three members of Congress—Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Ed Markey (D-MA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)—recently sent 107 letters to think […]

Pat Buchanan looks at the disaster that was the Netanyahu speech to Congress and Tom Cotton’s “astonishing” letter sent to the ayatollah and mullahs.
