Stop Policing the World
The 2016 presidential election offers Americans a chance to get back on the right track regarding how America works with other countries. The Cato Institute’s website provides a foreign and defense policy mission statement that seeks to restore a principled and restrained foreign policy, calling on lessons learned from George Washington to Cold War realists […]
Hillary Fatigue
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s excuses are pathetic. She could have had a private email without having a private server, but she has yet to explain why she, while serving as President Obama’s secretary of state, had a separate server. Which brings to mind an op-ed piece from the Washington Times. Charles Hurt writes, “Hillary fatigue is […]
