Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump form the “Credible Threesome.” All three make my cut based on their understanding that (1) America’s tax code must be junked, (2) the 2nd Amendment is hallowed ground, (3) radical Islam and Muslim immigration must be forcefully dealt with, and (4) nation building and foreign intervention do not […]

The Least Trusted Person in the Campaign
Hillary just makes stuff up, says Huge Hewitt on CNN. “Hillary is a liar and she owes Donald Trump an apology. … We just can’t take eight more years of lies.”
Adam Smith and the Prudent Man
From the WSJ: Adam Smith, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” (1759): The prudent man always studies seriously and earnestly to understand whatever he professes to understand, and not merely to persuade other people that he understands it; and though his talents may not always be very brilliant, they are always perfectly genuine. He neither endeavours […]
Is Syria 2015 Sarajevo 1914?
Pat Buchanan asks this terrifying question, linking the actions of “War Party Republicans, who have learned nothing from the past.” Included in Pat’s rogues gallery roster of “War Dogs” are: Gov. Chris Christie, about whom Rand Paul quipped, “If you’re in favor of World War III, you have your candidate.” Carly Fiorina, who claims she […]
The Debate That Wasn’t
The coronation of Hillary Clinton continues, writes the WSJ. Bernie Sanders began the debate with an apology to Hillary. And Martin O’Malley? Really? Mr. O’Malley is actually running? And then there was Hillary. Mrs. Clinton was typically methodical and uninspiring, sticking close to President Obama’s skirts while trying to create some space where his policies […]

The Old World beckons. Despite a sluggish economy, Europe dominates the top of FORBES’ annual ranking of the finest countries for capitalism—with Scandinavia as a particular […]
Paul Excoriates Clueless Neocons in Best Debate Yet
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison tells readers, “Paul excoriated Rubio on immigration surveillance, and foreign policy. … He also had a strong exchange with Christie over Syria and Russia and got the better of him.” Larison writes that Christie’s “clueless belligerence was on full display.” Regarding a couple of the other candidates, Daniel writes, “Kasich […]
Donald Trump: Washington Is Stupid
“We have people across this country who are scared to death,” barked Governor Chris Christie during the latest Republican debate. That is no doubt true, writes Jonah Goldberg in NRO, but the fear is not so much of the Islamic State, but a fear that the government, starting with our president, just doesn’t take terrorism […]
Rand Paul—No One Even Close
Forgetting showmanship, Americans learned something vital in the recent Republican debate. When it comes to the issue of small, constitutional government as intended by our Founders and practiced through the decades by our sister federal republic, Switzerland, no candidate comes close to Rand Paul. Throughout their political careers, Ron and Rand Paul have been at […]
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Today
“The experience of it was so profound, and so moving, and so funny, and so sweet, that for me, as a kid, it blew my mind…and it was just…it said anything is possible” said director J.J. Abrams about seeing Star Wars for first time when he was 11 years old. I will never forget the first […]
