Energy Utopia? Windmills with a Side of Rustoleum
Originally posted March 1, 2018. Wind is free, not to mention clean. So what could be better than inserting windmills offshore, where, unlike Martha’s Vineyard, there apparently are no multi-millionaires who, despite their disdain for fossil fuels, complain about turbines sullying their ocean views? Germany and Denmark are particularly big on this fantasy, a.k.a. “put […]
How Barbara Bush Brought Down the House at Wellesley College
What in the world, demanded 150 “outraged” Wellesley students, could Barbara Bush have to say in a commencement speech at the prestigious woman’s college? The year was 1990.

One Standard for the Public, Another for the FBI?
James Comey, outdoing himself on the media circuit, explains the many and varied ways he does not like himself or Donald Trump. As Comey’s publicity tour rolls forward, Kimberley Strassel suggests a few basic questions Mr. Comey should be expected to answer.

The Poetic Outing of Sean Hannity Politically Motivated
The “outrageous outing” of Sean Hannity, Fox News political commentator (often controversial), as attorney Michael Cohen’s third client (President Trump #1) violated longstanding, judicially endorsed standards, writes Andrew McCarthy in NRO.

Fix Income Disparity: Ship the Wealthy to Venezuela
Is income inequality in the U.S. a “staggering problem” and, as President Obama called it in 2014, the “defining challenge of our time,” asks Francis Menton in the Manhattan Contrarian. For me, I say it all depends on how you look at the world. If you want to look at the world as providing the occasion […]
Ben Sasse, Mark Zuckerberg on Hate Speech
According to pollsters, 40% of Americans under age 35 think the 1st Amendment is dangerous because it allows a person to say something that could hurt another’s feelings.

Neither Facebook nor Obama Administration Blameless
Democrats, shocked and bitter over Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump, are using Facebook as a scapegoat, explains the WSJ. The Russians began organizing in 2013 and stole American identities. “Beginning in or around June 2014, and continuing into June 2015, public reporting began to identify operations conducted by the [IRA] in the United States,” […]
Silicon Valley Geeks to Monitor Acceptable Speech?
What was the main reason Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg was hauled before three committees of Congress, asks Daniel Henninger in the WSJ. The Russians.
