Diminished Russian Influence at Significant Cost
Something More Serious Wrong with Clinton?
Isn’t Hillary Clinton much sicker than she has disclosed? Rod Dreher, writing at The American Conservative, makes just such a case. Hillary Clinton had a strange, scary health episode in which she could not stand, and went stiff before collapsing forward into her van. It went from “no big deal” to “you are sexist for […]
Americans Worry, Wonder What Happened to Gov Social Services
My friend Chris Edwards from Cato Institute has written at Downsizinggovernment.org that “Only one-third of people think that the government gives competent service, and the public’s “customer satisfaction” with federal services is lower than for virtually all private services.” It’s not surprising that Americans have lost faith in government as it always seems they’re paying […]

…according to Bill Clinton, referring to his wife two days after she collapsed. In an interview with Charlie Rose, former president Bill Clinton also acknowledged that Hillary collapsed at the 9/11 memorial ceremony when she became “severely dehydrated.” As Bill told a dubious Rose, “Rarely, on more than one occasion over the last many, many […]
Fifteen Years of “Never Forget” Foreign Policy
